It’s Here! Today is the First Day of eBay Live!

After all of our planning, today is the opening day of eBay Live. The Rock Stars will be getting their Swag Bags of Goodies this morning at the Food Court in McCormick Place. There are some surprises in store as each Rock Star has tons of prizes to hand out – I saw t-shirts, bandanas, tattoos and many other great items in my bag. Janelle Elms has outdone herself in putting this together. Of course, we will all be playing Spot the Rock Star, so if you find one of the 30+ Rock Stars at eBay Live, be sure to ask for a Spot Star Card to play for items such as a Flip Video Camera, CD’s from Janelle’s Success Learning Library and even a one year membership to OSI Rock Stars.

My daughter Regan is with me and we have our day mapped out. At 10 o’clock, she will be in the eBay Stores 101 class in room W-178a. This class is taught by my mentor Janelle Elms and is a MUST for anyone who sells on eBay. Learn how to have eBay pay you back 75% of your Final Value Fees plus many more “insider tips”.

Yesterday, I saw Jeffrey Gitomer at the Education Specialist training seminar. He has moved to the top of my list for today! Jeff is the author of many best selling books including the”Little Green Book of Getting Your Way – how to Speak, Write, Present, Persuade, Influence and Sell Your Point of View to Others”. His seminar will be held at 10 o’clock in Room W-375B, get there early, this is sure to be a standing room only class. He is the most dynamic speaker I have seen in quite a while. One of the men in our class yesterday said that he had attended many of Zig Ziglar’s classes and now Jeff Gitomer had moved ahead of Zig as his favorite speaker! Do yourself a favor and attend his highly motivational class on Creating Loyal Customers & Repeat Business.

Also, today, Squidoo Founder Seth Godin will be speaking on And Your Clicks for Free, Promoting Yourself Outside of eBay. Seth is one of the MUST SEE speakers at eBay Live! Your opportunity to see him will be today at 3 o,clock in room W-375b. Our own Giant Squid, Stephanie, will be there along with all of the other Rock Stars – be there or be square! Seth will be announcing the winner of the 10 Lenses in 10 Days eBay Challenge. This promises to be one of the most Fun and Rewarding classes at Live this year!
