Chicago
September 12 - 19, 2004


During the week of September 12 through the 19th, I made a trip to the lovely city of Chicago for Finance and Insurance (F&I) training.  The training was held in a suburb entitled. Bannockburn which is 30 miles outside of downtown Chicago.  It was held by an insurance company by the name of PROTECTIVE.   I learned a tremendous amount of information about the F&I industry's laws, regulations, practices, and most importantly; selling techniques!   The course definitely introduced me to better selling techniques!

I did get the opportunity to do a little sightseeing while visiting.   Did plenty of walking downtown.  Had yummy Chicago Style Hot Dogs, deep dish Chicago style pizza, and had some Caramel Popcorn!

Below are some links to places and restaurants that I've visited:

Garret Popcorn Shop
Bob Chinn's Crab House
Giordanos Pizza
The Signature Room on the 96th
