That’s right – with the return of the International Pawn Symposium we have secured a speaking opportunity from one of the most widely recognized Pawn Broking Bullion Specialists in OUR space and a PCG Focus Group Member and much more, Mr. Sam Reading!
PCG International Pawn Symposium
2025 Theme – In search of lost knowledge and treasure, in the ancient city of Atlantis!
Dates are October 12th – 17th and will be hosted at the World Class Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.
This Blog introduces another one of our very special presenters one of PCG’s newer friends, client, and Focus Group member of which our attendees will be blessed to hear from in Paradise!
Mr. Sam Reading whom is considered to be one of the most accredited professionals in the Pawn and Bullion Industry’s today!
Sam came on the radar with PCG several years back and petitioned our legendary PCG Focus Group for membership and succeeded in getting voted on. This was immediately followed up with him volunteering up a group session with our members in Boise Idaho.
Sam is a newer entry in the Pawn Space (2015) and took so much of the input from our group members and ran with it! Should be noted that recently he has even mastered adding a luxury brand to his growing chain of Pawn Shops up in the Boise Idaho area.
Bio On Sam Reading
Sam Reading is a Marine Vet (Semper FI), a Software Visionary, and of course a Pawnbroker.
After serving his country first as a Marine and then as a contractor with Palantir he opened his first Pawnshop in 2015. In February of 2025 he opened his 5th Pawn store.
He started dabbling in gold and silver bullion in 2017, and got serious about it in 2019. Getting good at bullion (through years of trial and error) has allowed him to double his revenues year over year for 5 years straight.
Now he wants to pass his secrets on to you at the PCG International Pawn Symposium and give you the shortcut to replicating his bullion success in your stores.
Symposium Bullion Masterclass Rundown:
Sam provided an abbreviated version of the Bullion MasterClass several years ago at one of our focus group meetings up in Maryland. One of our members from that gathering, told the group the following year he had already done over 5-million dollars in bullion business from the lessons obtained at that group session.
The steps and the education of these sessions alone will more than pay for ALL of your investment to attend the PCG Internatioanl Pawn Symposium in Atlantis this year!
Sam will be providing a condensed format of his live weekly training he currently has running into (3) sessions at the Symposium event.
What you will learn:
-A framework for ethically “spying” on the competitors in your area and how to use what you learn to dominate your local market
-The 4 step testing/authentication method Sam uses to be 100% confident in what he is buying so he can offer more than anyone else
–Sam’s rolodex of industry contacts and partners you will need to be successful
-How to fund your bullion business almost completely with other people’s money.
-The marketing tactics Sam uses to attract big bullion deals like cheese attracts mice.
-And everything else you need to know to crush it in the bullion game.
A footnote from PCG – Producer of the International Pawn Symposium
Our events are not trade shows nor conventions. They are high level inter-active educational seminars conducted by numerous experts within and outside the Pawn Industry.
These events also center on close interaction of ALL of the participants by keeping them together for all of the functions, seminars, food, and ALL social functions which are a primary component of the event itself.
In effect, High Level education and social networking on steroids.
AS for exclusivity, we keep attendance at a controlled level to insure maximum benefit of time with our educators, presenters, participants, and sponsors. All of which are required from our experience to obtain the best of the best, from the best!!
This event is limited to 100 attendees and is only $1495 per head – which includes all meals, social functions and the seminars being presented at this world class resort.
We are currently accepting paid participation to guarantee slots on the roster. We have about 85+ participants on the list currently and paid reservations are coming in now.
We have also procured a room-block at this EPIC resort of only $149 a night plus their resort fees.
IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND THIS EVENT – CONTACT ME DIRECTLY NOW TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR ATTENDNACE PAYMENT AND CONFIRMATION AND WE WILL PROVIDE THE ROOM BLOCK HOTEL PASSKEY TO GUARANTEE YOUR DISCOUNTED ROOM AT THIS WORLD CLASS RESORT.
