Good morning everyone! I gambled a bit last night. How did I do? Let's just say I cannot retire. Today's leadership forum features two speakers:
1. Michael Russer - The New Consumer: The Technology Generation
Russer will focus on specifics within a variety of trends that impact the consumer. The Young, Daring and Smart, asserts that Internet-savvy Echo Boomers (Generation Y) will change the industry by demanding a higher level of service and technology capability.
2. Dr. John Izzo - The Sales-Partner: The Engagement of a Generation
Dr. Izzo will discuss how your company can become THE destination for the required new breed of real estate professionals. His presentation will include:
- Approaching, recruiting and appealing to the Echo Boomer professional
- Developing the new generation of real estate professionals - capitalizing on their strengths and overcoming their weaknesses
- Opening and shutting the Swinging Door
- Keeping great performers engaged
- Promoting activities that keep Sales-Partners ahead of the competition
Following the presentations, there will be interactive workshops to focus on strategies in more detail.
Stay tuned, I will report back later today. Looking forward to seeing the Steinborn GMAC team later today. Tonight is our group dinner at Il Mulino's. I'll blog on that too.
John

Thank you for keeping us informed.
