Purchasing beverages is optional, but recommended to keep the hotel happy.

5 Seasons Brewing, Sandy Springs, GA
Come be part of the Small Business Group on Thursday, February 11th at 11:30AM at the 5 Seasons Brewing at the Prado located at 5600 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs where where Business, Coach and Business Strategy Speaker, Jeff Lovejoy, of ActionCOACH will be sharing with us how to find your way to true success.

Jeff will teach you…
- How to run your business efficiently
- How to have SMART GOALS
- How to create Strategies and Tactics to keep you on track to reach those goals

With more than 25 years of experience building and leading corporate teams in the financial industry under his belt, Jeff brings a passion like no other to the practice he formed in 2008 as a Public Speaker and Business Coach with ActionCOACH.
Jeff has found that a great many smart people are unable to find their way to true success. While their innate or developed skills and talents have carried them to a point of significant achievement, they still can’t quite reach that golden ring.
By helping them define and develop processes, systems, and an infrastructure to support their goals, Jeff assists clients in closing that final gap, often reaching culmination in both their professional and personal life.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Our next All Inclusive Marketing (AIM) Group Meeting is Wednesday, February 10th at 7:00PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs.
Let me ask you a couple of questions:
- Do you know what tools to use to get all the leads you want?
- Do you know what tools to use to sell all the deals you have?
- Do you have enough time to do very in this business and still have a lot of time to enjoy life?
- Are you able to find enough deals to have a sustainable flow of leads, and buyers to have a successful real estate business?
If the answer is NO to any of the questions above, this meeting is for you.
If the answer is yes, and you want to improve the number of deals you want to do or just improve the quality of your life, then this meeting is for you, too.
One of the keys to any successful business man or woman is their ability to know what tools to use and investing in them. Therefore, I will be sharing all the tools of the trade, what tools to use to find tons of leads, what to use to sell all your deals, how to reach thousands of people within minutes and much more.
Marketing has been one of my strengths and I am very proud of the results I have produced over the years from most of my marketing campaigns. I will share all the tools I have used and am using to run all my marketing and most of my business on autopilot.
We will meet Wednesday, February 10th at 7:00PM at the Hudson Grille located at 6317 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs at 7:00 PM. Be there at 6:30 to order your food and drink.
I will share all the necessary tools of the trade, all the small but vital details of how to set them up, where to get them from, and most of all, how to automate you marketing and business.
At the meeting, I will show you what tools are necessary to have which can help you with:
- Email marketing
- Call blasting
- Direct mail marketing
- Text blasting
- Social media marketing
- Posting ads on websites
- Placing classified ads
- And much, much more
This is a must attend event! We will meet at our usual location at the Hudson Grille at 7:00PM and be there until 9:00PM and then hang out and have our Late Nite Networking. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting!

After the conclusion of our All Inclusive Marketing Meeting, we will be hanging out at the Hudson Grille for “Late Nite Networking” to socialize and build stronger bonds.
