Are you tired of losing deals you know you should have won? Have you ever walked away thinking, “I could have gotten a better deal”?

You’re not alone — most negotiations fail.

Not because the deal wasn’t good, but because small, avoidable mistakes killed it.

During this full-day seminar, I’ll show you the most common reasons negotiations break down — and how to avoid them. We’ll cover everything from preparation, trust-building, leverage, communication, and the one mistake almost everyone makes that costs them thousands.

You’ll walk out knowing exactly how to control the process, keep the conversation moving, and turn more “no’s” into “yes.”

What You’ll Learn

• How to prepare so you walk in with confidence
• How to build trust and rapport quickly
• How to uncover what the other party really wants
• How to keep emotions from killing your deal
• How to create leverage even when you think you have none
• How to pick the right strategy and tactics for every situation
• And much more — including live role-play exercises so you practice these skills on the spot.

Bonus for Attendees

Everyone who registers gets a FREE PDF booklet with my top negotiating techniques — a take-home playbook you can use right away in your own deals.

Who This Is For?

• Real estate investors who want better terms and more accepted offers
• Business owners who negotiate with vendors, partners, or clients
• Anyone ready to stop leaving money on the table

Date: Saturday, September 20th
Time: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

If you’ve ever tried to start a real estate business before, you know how frustrating it can be:

• What kind of entity should I set up?
• What tools do I need to find leads?
• What marketing should I even run?
• And how in the world do I keep it all organized?

Most people hit overwhelm fast – jumping between YouTube videos and coaching programs. Even if you get something off the ground, it still feels like something’s missing.

It’s not just motivation – it’s a clear, complete system.

Real estate doesn’t have to be hard – it just needs the right foundation.

That’s why I’m inviting you to a full-day, in-person workshop that shows you how to structure and launch your business using cutting-edge AI tools that will blow your mind.

What Took Months (or Years) to Build… Now Takes Minutes

In the past 18 months, AI has changed the game. What once required:

• A full marketing team
• A paid CRM
• Endless hours of follow-up
• Costly freelancers or VAs

…can now be handled with tools like:

• ChatGPT – for high-converting content
• NotebookLM – to organize and recall info
• n8n – to automate workflows
• Publer, Zapier, Canva – to schedule, connect, and design

This isn’t just about tools – it’s about building a machine that runs your business.

What We’ll Cover – Step-by-Step

This event is for beginners and rebuilders alike. We’ll start with:

• Choosing the right business entity (LLC, corp, etc.)
• Structuring your business for simplicity and protection
• Naming, branding, and positioning to attract deals

Then we dive deep into AI and automation to help you:

• Create lead campaigns in minutes
• Set up automated follow-up systems
• Generate emails, texts, voicemails, and direct mail in one prompt
• Organize everything in one AI-powered workspace
• Automate your lead funnel from first contact to closed deal

By the end of the day, you’ll have a clear, repeatable, AI-supported system built to grow.

Who Should Attend?

• New investors ready to start fast
• Part-time investors with limited time
• Burned-out investors tired of doing everything manually
• Entrepreneurs who want to systematize and scale

• A structured, legally sound business
• A working AI-powered tech stack
• A lead generation engine ready to launch

The Beginning Investors Group Online (BIGO) is meets ONLINE ONLY on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7PM on Zoom Webinar with your host, Dustin Griffin.

On Monday, May 19th at 7PM our special guest speaker will be Jay Conner who will be teaching us how to raise private money to fund our deals without having to ask for it. RSVP Now to learn how!

Most investors think they need to ask for money. The pros don’t. They get it offered to them… because they know how to position the opportunity the right way.

This Monday, we are hosting a power-packed Beginning Investors Group with Jay that is designed to change the way you raise private money — without ever having to ask for it.

Imagine unlocking a floodgate of funding that lets you flip, wholesale, or hold more deals — all without touching your own cash.

This isn’t theory or fluff — it’s the exact strategy used by the top 1% of investors to secure unlimited, low-cost funding with zero pressure.

In less than an hour, you’ll get a step-by-step, proven system you can put into action immediately.

Plus, stick around for the live Q&A where Jay will answer your burning questions.

If you want to close more deals, maximize your leverage, and have the freedom to say YES the moment the perfect property appears — this training is a must-attend.

Don’t miss out — see you Monday! RSVP Now
