Watford November 2021 Meeting

How to profit from an empty field! - Philip Saunders 

Phil lives in the Peak District, a beautiful part of the country nestled between Manchester and Sheffield. One of the keys to property investing, especially when you’re just beginning your journey is to invest locally and Phil has found a unique way to monetise the opportunities on his doorstep.

During Philip's talk presentation, he will walk you through the process he took when making his first deal. A R2SA on a piece of spare land that he eventually turned into a Glamping site with an ROI of over 50%. Along the way there are several key learnings he made that can apply to all business.

•    Take the RIGHT action to get results. 
•    The power of ‘Going for the NO’ a great mind state for selling. 
•    The importance of a powerful ‘reason why’
•    Getting the right specialist knowledge at the right time.

This is a very visual presentation which incorporates aspects of Phil's interesting hobbies, his passions for living and lifestyle.
