FBK First Annual Seminar (2023)

Thu, 09 May 2024

What a great experience!

So little did we know that we have such a big FBK family, the amazing part was having young potential clients for the future, how amazing was that? Imagine filling up Propaganda doubled the expected capacity, just for the seminar not to mention the number of people that were part of the first and second session. Imagine having people in tears just begging to enter the gate, which was a bit stressful but at the end of the day we managed to accommodate new and existing clients, effectively so. We are just out of words as the FBK team, the support was on another level. The first and second session went very well the interaction with the clients was on another level, not to mention the participation and concentration. We also had the unplanned session by the parking lot, which was for accommodating the people who were unable to access the venue because of the attendance capacity. 

Having three different events in one day is no child’s play. The first event was due to start at 9 am but because of certain logistics that the hosts needed to fix, the event ended up starting a bit later than expected. Nonetheless, the attendance was more than the expectation of the hosts which was FBK and Propaganda. Having people already waiting outside before the event started is a display of how people are committed to FBK and also how FBK is committed to both their existing and non-existing clients. Judging from the attendance one could tell that there is a commitment to the extent that even if the entrance wasn’t free entry, you don’t want to know about a mother who brought her 2-month-old daughter just to attend the seminar, bringing us a potential client for the future. The age range from 18 years up to 65 years was exuberant. Amalgamation is everything in this 21st century that we are living in, how jolting was it to have African, white, Indian and coloured population at the seminar? This on its own shows that FBK doesn’t capacitate a certain race, this shows the dynamic aspect of FBK online services and also how everyone is welcome to learn and trade with the business. The atmosphere was very lively, pertly and very warm. The engagement, participation and discipline of the people that attended was on another level. People were willing to learn and they were asking questions in such a way that there was even a price for one of the existing clients in which his account was funded with 5 thousand Rands. The part about the cash prices was the most exciting part for the clients because they got themselves money for simply answering questions, this shows the commitment since people were able to answer questions correctly. An amount of about 50 thousand Rands was spent just for our incredible clients, this includes both existing and non-existing clients for FBK Markets. There is no event without guests, right? Our guests were super incredible, one of the guests was the key individual within the financial services provision business who was Sanele, most importantly we also had a guest by the name of Cornet Mamabolo who is better known as T-boss in Skeem Saam, he is also involved in the financial services sector in a form of a brokerage which is for insurance. This shows that the event wasn’t only reduced to what FBK is doing but also capacitating what other financial services providers are doing.
