Who wouldn’t want to be in Sultry Miami? Oh, wait, this is July 8-10, their hottest, most humid time of the year…but who cares, because we will be inside with air conditioning and connecting with fellow affiliates.
Not to piggy-back (oh, but I am) on Cassie’s posting yesterday…however, I have to agree that this is truly a good time to be with fellow inhabitants in the same realm of work. I still can’t really explain what the affiliate world is all about to others. So, it’s really nice to be able to connect with those who “get it”…..any of you going? If so, I’d want to meet up with ya. I definitely like putting a face with the name, along with seeing some cohorts that I actually had the pleasure of meeting and spending some time with previously.
Some of the things I have learned from prior Summits:
Some of the things I have learned from prior Summits:
1. Wear comfortable shoes, you walk everywhere.
2. You really don’t need to bring a pen…those are free there.
3. I think one of the best parts of the Summit is to mingle and relate, as there is no larger single gathering place that I am aware of that is all about affiliates.
4. Free STUFF! (can I just say I loved what we gave out for the Summit in Vegas? ‘course I picked it, so that would make sense).
5. You find new realms that you didn’t even think of that you can do business together.
6. I think having a booth could be profitable, if you do it right.
7. There are quite a few CJ wannabes out there.
8. You need a vacation once you get back home
9. Seeing people from previous summits is always nice, even if you may be competitors…….um, did I really say that?
10. There are a lot of summits. Which one should you attend?
11. Be prepared to publicly embarrass your self:
So, I’d love to hear back from you if you are going and let’s hang out! As you know, my email is: ahartmeister@insureme.com if you would like to set up a time….
Carpe Summit!
