		<description><![CDATA[One of the more deceptive sales tactics out there is the FREE LUNCH. Financial advisors invite investors to educational seminars that include a free lunch or dinner. This sounds benign enough, but it is a popular sales tactic that low quality financial advisors use to meet investors.
Advisors can&#8217;t sell you investment or insurance products until they meet you on [...]]]></description>
