Advanced Shop Talk was another wonderful event. Seattle is a beautiful city. I came home with some great ideas and some awesome salmon and crabs from Pikes Place Fish Market. I also bought there latest book "Catch". I highly recommend it.
I had to leave Saturday early, hopefully some others will check in. Brandt, you were there did you learn anything new?
All the best,
Kevin

Hi Kevin
I was there for my first Commercial and for my first Residential Forum. I can't believe how helpful and informative it was. I am like the "old dog" but I love to keep learning and it was just that, very informative. I met some very nice people there. I saw some others that I have seen at other functions before and got to visit and catch up. Isn't it refreshing to meet with our peers, trade ideas and learn together how to improve and be better business men. I started to day to implement ideas that I learned this past week end into my business TODAY!

Yes, AST and the Commercial Forum were informative and a strengthening aid to all of us. A great time was had in learning from our peers and friends about systems that really work. We had 9 from the Portland, Oregon chapter there. The topics and role-playing were to the point, and the interchange of ideas were just what I needed for my business. The spark generated in the Commercial group really got me going. How to charge for additional work orders and getting them processed, more than paid for the weekend for me. Documenting everything in writing and with photos really avoids any dispute. The attitudes and encouragement from proven companies such as Hampton's and Lewis's were much appreciated. Seeing new faces and old friends makes this event a much anticipated gathering each year. Let's keep the momentum going!
Wishing everyone success for the remainder of the year.
See you all at PACE in Tampa.

Hey Guys, glad to hear you enjoyed it. I learned some very subtle nuances that will greatly help my sales, as long as I implement. In fact, Kevin, your seminar will help me to make sure that I do. It was nice to meet Brian as well. Thanks, see you soon!

Hello my friend,

AST 6 was a good opportunity to sharpen the ax.
My goal is the ongoing successful management and leadership of a 'systems based' company.
A lot of what is available through the AST format provides the resources that meet my needs. This year's AST definitely provided me with value.
To answer your question: yes.

Always good to see frends and meet many new people.
I appreciate everyone's participation.

Brandt
