Community Weekly On-line
Friday, November 4, 2005This week's update contains the following articles and information for you:
Taking Control of His Time and His Life
William Mendoza, with Bay Area Mortgage in Baltimore, Maryland, was arriving home at all hours of the day (and night) and wasn't spending nearly enough time with his friends or family – until he joined the By Referral Only Community.
"Before I came to By Referral Only, my life was in chaos. I was flying by the seat of my pants. If a client wanted to see a house at 7am, I would show it to him. If a couple needed to meet at 10pm, I would stay up late. "Then my Coach suggested that I set boundaries for myself, and take control of my time and my life. I explained to my clients how my new way of doing business would help me to better serve them. And they understood – the people who want to work with you will.
"Now, I'm a lot happier and I've created more time for myself to do the things I never thought were possible. I'm no longer a slave to my job."
Talk to your Coach about which By Referral Only systems and strategies will help you take control of your time and your life.
Employee Spotlight
"He maintains a positive and cooperative attitude, is a team player, and commits himself to excellence." That's just one phrase that describes Curt Conant, our Employee Spotlight for November 2005.
As our National Sales Manager, Curt works closely with attendees of By Referral Only Half-Day Workshops and Main Events and mentors our Business Development teams who follow up with your referrals. He demonstrates superior customer service by continually dedicating himself to the success of By Referral Only and our members.
As Curt says, "Every day at By Referral Only, we help business professionals build their businesses. It's the most rewarding job I've ever had."
And, Curt's perfect blend of humor and professionalism keeps his team's morale high and their productivity soaring.
Tell a Colleague About Free Marketing Nuggets
In the November 2 Marketing Nugget, you read about Corrine Barlow, a Realtor who used a flyer campaign from the By Referral Only Member's Resource Center to pique neighbors' curiosity and generate new business. Her campaign was effective and inexpensive – she spent just $180 and earned $16,000 in commissions, an $88-to-$1 return.
