Rich Sands - The Lawsuits are Settled: What’s Next??

Your world has changed considerably in the past year if your world has anything to do with the real estate industry. NAR has settled and most of it has to do with compensation and Multiple Listing Services. Instead of fearing or resisting change, we need to continue adapting. Laws have changed, contracts have been revised, \the future is NOT optional. There is no opt-out button as far as I know. So, let’s adapt, and let’s keep it simple: 5 steps to transparency, excellence, and customer satisfaction.

John G. Miller - Personal Accountability and the QBQ!

Do you hear these questions inside your organization?

“Why do we have to go through all this change?”
“When is someone going to train me?”
“Why don’t they communicate better?”
“When will that department do its job right?”
“Who’s going to solve the problem?”

These costly questions are symptoms of blame, victim thinking, entitlement, and procrastination. Author John G. Miller’s message of “Personal Accountability and the QBQ!” is the solution.

Rich Sands - Marketing is so Freaking Simple. Why Aren’t You Doing More?

In a world where people overcomplicate everything, maybe it’s time to make at least one thing simple: marketing. By understanding what marketing actually is, and how to create content without damaging brain cells, or worse yet, outsourcing it, you can make your marketing easier, more effective, AND you can do more of it. You could be the greatest agent in history, but if no one has heard of you, you will struggle. So, forget those silly chicken fettuccine recipes, those sports schedules, and the motivational quotes, it’s time to share relevant marketing and do more business.
