The College Planning Blog

Hey Guys,

 

We’ve been pretty busy here at College Planning Central this past week - seems like every workshop we run books up solid this time of year.

 

If you’ve been on checking our site for any length of time, but haven’t yet had a chance to see either Jeff, Brannon, or yours truly up close and personal in a workshop, don’t put this off any longer.

 

I was chatting with a fella who took months before he decided to attend a wokshop.  It got me thinking.

 

Sometimes prospective workshop attendees view my ads month after month, see the emails, read the articles published by us, but don’t do anything although they know they need help.  Then they rush around at the last minute.  I think I know the reason.

 

It’s because they think there’s a “catch.”  They don’t see how a three guys who put themselves out there, week after week, promoting their business to the public, can possibly be doing anything other than selling something at these “free” workshops.

 

Well, here’s a confession – we do get an occasional client out of our workshops!  Yes, it’s true.

 

But that’s not because we are “selling” anything there.

 

In fact, we have a strict “no-pitch” policy at each of the locations we conduct - each location is a non-profit or educational setting:  community centers, libraries, colleges, high schools…places like that.

 

We’re giving the workshops as a community service.  Teachers, administrators, students and college advisors show up at our events. So do doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs and candlestick makers.

 

None of them receives a sales pitch.  Zero.

 

In fact, there are plenty of folks who attend our events who we could help, but specifically choose not to.  That’s because we’re extremely busy this time of year and can afford to cherry pick the ones who we think we’ll enjoy working with!

 

So yes, occasionally folks at workshops will approach us and, ultimately, become clients.  Of course that happens - duh.

 

But if you’re worried about having your arm twisted or being hounded to hire us, you can relax.

 

See, here’s what really goes on behind closed doors.

We educate you on the ‘rules of the game’ of college tuition discounts, scholarships and financial aid.

 

We give clear, tangible “nuggets” of information that you can implement right away to slash thousands of dollars off your college costs,

including:

 

*  The “secret” way to double or triple your eligibility for free money for college, regardless of your income;

 

*  How the Department of Education calculates how much aid you’ll qualify for;

 

*  and a lot more (this email is long enough already!)

 

But I promise, there’s absolutely no pressure to sign or pay for anything on the spot.

 

So if you’re afraid that we’re selling timeshares or used cars, chill out!  Forget about that stuff, you have more important things to worry about, like the high costs of college!

 

Don’t be shy, come out to one of our workshops!  You could walk away with information that could be literally worth tens of thousands of dollars!

 

Here’s the link to upcoming workshops.

P.S.  Not only do we not sell anything or mention our services, we actually GIVE you stuff!
