A few of you have asked why I’m doing so much traveling. Well, I am doing it for several reasons. Mainly to keep learning, and networking with others. However, my trip that is coming up in just a few days where I’ll be going to Dallas is for a totally different reason.

I’ll be doing a workshop with Robert Puddy. You can read all about the workshop by going to: www.TomeyMarketing.com/wsspecial

After I got the below email from Robert, it reminded me why I still work so many hours and why I still continue to teach….

Here’s Robert’s email….

I’m having a hard time putting my thoughts down on paper today
even this virtual paper. I had 2 phone conversations over the past
48 hours that made me stop and rethink the whole strategy
for the Focus Marketing seminar in Dallas in 2 weeks.

With just 2 weeks to go I deleted the sales letter on the site, and
deleted the email series I had set up in the auto responders.

Thousands of dollars of adcopy scrapped, even my two business
partners have no idea what i just did. Hopefully they trust me
enough to see why I did it and wont get mad at me.

So what were these two phone conversations?

One was from an attendee of last years event, She pre paid for
a ticket for this years seminar way back in May 2006. She called
me to make sure I hadn’t forgotton her, when I told her that
we hadn’t forgot her and she was on the list of attendees

Her exact words were
“oh i’m so glad, I was worried I wouldnt be able to attend, you
changed so much for me last year I just had to make sure
I had a seat before it sold out”

Not I was making sure incase i had to ask for my money back
but making sure we didnt forget her and she missed out.

The second call was from a gentleman who is a first time
attendee.

During the conversation it came out that he had used part of
his rent money to pay for the ticket, was he having second
thoughts and asking for a refund?

No he was also making sure we had his name down for a seat
he was just checking everything was in order and he could
attend.

The first call made me very happy and proud, its part of the
reason I do this.

The second call made me feel guilty and I said so, his response
was “dont be I know this is exactly what i need, I have the
talent I just need the contacts, I know next year I will be writing
you a testimonial”

Calls like that are the reason why I’m sitting in a hotel room
4000 miles away from my wife and family, or why I spend
my time putting on workshops and setting up mastermind
groups.

Now this email is officially longer than the new salesletter up
on the site. But I wanted to give you an insight to where my
heart is with the Focus Seminars, its about changing lives

I want to change yours, Please read the new sales letter
at internetseminarsindallas.com/tickets/ and look into
my heart.

Your success
Robert

So, this is why I’m going to Dallas to do this workshop with Robert Puddy. Because we think alike, and are goal is to help you make it in this crazy busy. That’s where our real passion is. It’s in teaching and watching others succeed. I hope you’ll come join us in person in Dallas on March the 15th, so that we can enjoy teaching you too!
