Sales Meeting/Training

Hello all,

"Sales meeting/Training"

Tomorrow we will be holding a joint office sales meeting at Montgomery Country Club starting at 9:30, breakfast will be served. We have not gotten together for a bit so I would love to see as many of you there as possible. It is time to start getting ramped up for the second half of the year. Lisa and I will be doing a listing presentation training in the Potomac office August 29th at 11am. This will be helpful to anyone (both offices are invited) new to listing presentations, is feeling a little rusty or if you would like to pick up a tip or two. Veterans who attend please come prepared to share. We will cover the steps you go through while you are there, pricing and Lisa will show her presentation from her IPAD. Please RSVP to Michelle, we will get pizza delivered after so we need a head count. 

Enjoy the coffee,

Joe

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." 
~ Victor Hugo

BE IMPULSIVE!

There seems to be a lot of anger in the world today. Forget the national and global squabbles, and just take a look closer to home - on your TV, in the schools, among fellow employees - right in your own backyard

There's another attitude issue that could stand some help - disrespect. It seems like the days are gone when youngsters (even 20-somethings) value their elders, social customs, even the laws of the land. Common courtesy and politeness, even among adults, seems non-existent at times.

Want to be a changing force in your personal world? It's easy, costs nothing, and goes a long way towards making a meaningful contribution for the better. It's accomplished with an electrical impulse. Really. Consider your brain. Everything you think of, each idea you have, each action you take begins with an electrical impulse - a single thought. The thought required to cause change is called an "expectation."

Teachers use this thought daily in their classrooms. They EXPECT students to listen, to observe silence, to walk single-file, to not cut in line, and to learn. They EXPECT not to be challenged, disrespected, or ignored when they speak. The best among them EXPECT nothing less than excellence. Know what? Their students respond positively to those expectations.

The electrical impulse called "expectation" is simple to enact, yet more difficult to enforce. You have to really mean it. As a country, a people, even families, we've grown soft on expectations - and it shows. Fear of offending someone seems the rule. Why not be "impulsive" for the next 30 days with those you love by setting a new, higher standard of expectations. The results will both amaze and delight!
