Summary

In episode #1079, we discuss the mistakes we made while putting on our first conference. Tune in to hear what went wrong and how we dealt with it. TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: 7 Mistakes We Made From Our First Conference [00:35] Check out the Marketing School Live videos we posted online! [00:50] We had a couple of last-minute hiccups, because there was a lot of miscommunication. [01:30] Another mistake was that the food was amazing, but there were no vegetarian options. [01:57] We didn’t have an emcee.  [02:45] Not charging for tickets hurt us a little bit. [03:00] There wasn’t an easy way to digest and download all the information we shared. [04:22] Eric underestimated the amount of work it would take to get butts in seats. [04:38] Neil thinks that even though people say they are going to come, not everyone actually shows up. [04:54] Last minute, they had a bunch of open seats that they needed to fill. [05:21] That’s it for today! [05:28] We are going to take applications for live intensive sessions.
