Quite a few great businessopportunities came out of last week. However,and equally important (at least to me),is the amount of awesome people I metand being able to share stories and spendtime with everybody. Finding out that JimCirillo is from Rochester and he came fromthe same neighborhood as my parents wasreally great. On the business side, so far Ihave signed up 2 agents and have about5 others who will be signing up with methroughout this month. Yesterday I signedup an agent who knew about the conferenceand assured me he would be therenext year. We are in the process of gettinghim signed up for this month too.”Tom Mistretta, E-chx“We greatly enjoyed the convention, aswell as felt that it was very productive.
