Hosting regular, well-executed events doesn’t just get people to talk about us, which benefits our businesses and referrals. At their core, these events make our towns or neighborhoods better places to live, they foster connection and give people something to look forward to several times a year.

 

It means we never have to worry about the source of our next piece of business and we can focus on making each experience better than before.

 

What steps can we take to make our events more memorable? How do we come up with themes that will make people really want to attend?

 

In this episode, Scott “The Mortgage Doc” Edwards, shares what he’s learned through his events this year.

If you’ve never done an event, it’s great to be in a room with people that are doing events - it makes pulling that trigger easier. -Scott Edwards
