I have not personally attended a Blair Singer program, but I can tell you that our paths have crossed a few times (one of my firms conducts leadership seminars, so we had a common client and spoke at the same conference once). Based on those meetings, I think he is probably one of the better trainers out there right now in the sales arena, and his methods and materials are logical and valid.

For these types of seminars, the course itself is barely a break-even deal for the person who sponsors it (especially if there is media advertising). The real profit for the presenter is in "back of the room" sales -- the supplemental books, tapes, and other materials we hope you'll buy while you're all charged up on our message. So you can expect SOME of that to be embedded in the presentation (but I didn't hear too many complaints from his audience). Like any speaker, some people loved him, some didn't -- but I'd say the overall consensus was very positive.

This may help you break down your decision:

Consider that you can probably buy the same "information" you'd get in the seminar for $500 by purchasing books and programs. Is the information worth that much you?

If not, stay home. If so, consider that the other $500 (plus your travel expenses) is what you're paying for the "experience." Do you learn best alone -- through books, audio, and video -- and are you self-motivating (i.e., already excited and enthusiastic about the selling process)? If you are, you may not need the experience of being there. But if a knowledgeable and energizing speaker -- and a couple of days of hanging out with other excited people in business like you -- would be the best way for you to learn and apply the lessons (and to get really psyched about selling), then the "experience" part may be worth far more than the cost. It is to my seminar participants (or they get their money back).

I hope this helps in your decision (and I hope you get some input from someone who has actually attended).

Hi there,

Seminars are good for meeting your business role model who have been there and succeed, learn from that person, feel the energy of all motivated attendee's & networking.

Reading book motivates you, inspires you.

You can also write off seminar expenses and enjoy new place at the same time.

Every thing has a price and in future if you will write book & host seminar, you will also charge people for your service.
