Firstly I would like to thank Jamie Moodie and Suzy Evans from 7Days2Exchange for hosting this event at their premises. Having an office above a pub certainly has its advantages.
Home Rescue
7Days2Exchange gave us an interesting insight into how the Home Rescue system works. Further Reading.
It has also given us in the “debt solution” industry, an additional valuable solution when it comes to helping our clients, and saving the family home from repossession.
On a personal note, I have seen 7Days2Exchange handle a couple of Home Rescues, their determination and inventiveness really impressed.

Collection Agencies
Andrew Grant gave us all a brief insight into the process of how debt is collected. Also the pressure that collection agencies are under, because of the league table system they have in force.
It was fascinating to follow the flow of debt from the very beginning to the final step in the collection process.
Personally now having a better understanding, I think this information will certainly change the way in which I handle some of my Full & Final Settlement angles, I will certainly test it to see if I get better settlement results!
Sunbelt Business Brokers
Christopher Jones demonstrated to us how his company was able to find a buyer for people wanting to sell their businesses, even for a failing business! Once again another solution was offered to us when it came to “debt solutions”.
It was also apparent that Sunbelt was nationwide, therefore wherever you are in the UK there should be a local Sunbelt representative near you. If you want to know who your local rep for Sunbelt is, then ask by replying to this post.

Networking
It became very apparent, within a short period of time, how well all of us who attended, could use each others services across the UK. By the use of this forum and regular face-to-face meetings, we will establish a network of trust and solutions that will ultimately increase our bottom line.
Actually it was amazing to see how much business was being done on the sidelines.
Future Events
Car Repossessions and Bailiffs, I believe that we have a couple of people who would like to present to us in the very near future. This will probably happen in the Bristol area.
Money Workshop, Saleah has agreed to do a Money Workshop in the near future. This will be held at 7Days2Exchange in Twickenham.
If you have an idea for, or want to host an event, please let me know. |
