Seems our money can be spent better elsewhere. I have never been impressed with motivational speakers. A lot of money for nothing,.,

Now Gary… how long have you known me? You know that the motivational speech is only icing on the cake. Think about how to exploit for national marketing of our membership.

Lance Armstrong was too expensive by the way… $200K.

Gary’s request, the King in the Burger King commercial is unavailable. :slight_smile:

True,

How many times do I gotta tell you it’s McDonalds not Burger King :slight_smile:

How much for

Dave Chappelle :cool:

Bill O rilley?

I think you should give RR some cash to motivate some folks.

I would say his contributions over the years are worth around $35,000,00 dollars at least in my bank account.:smiley:

Thanks again RR for all you do.

I second it…:smiley:

Referral Rewards…:smiley:

How about Matt Foley, he can stay in his van…DOWN BY THE RIVER

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Pam Anderson gets my vote, she can stay in my van. I have to get a van.

That was too funny…pulling up his pants…etc…:smiley: :smiley:

Brian, where is the Landscaper living?..:roll:

REALTORs love This Old House. I think it would be really great to hire Steve Thomas with the condition that his pic go on the front page of our Real Property Times.

Gary can have Ronald McDonald in 2008.

Nick;

As an old and wise marketing guy you should know that the old motivational speaker scam is so last century.

Better spent of food and booze.

Uh, ya

Whats a better motivator than food and booze? Sports and the Nachette’s make interesting side dishes too

Nick,

I know a gentleman who walked into our town with $300 in his pocket and is now a self made millionaire. No Joke! There is a motivational speaker. The best part about it, he is a down to earth gentleman.
