Sales Meetings on the Go

It is not like you don't WANT to go to your office's bi-weekly or monthly sales meeting, Right? (you can lie).

In all seriousness though, there is probably some great content and relevant data presented and discussed at the sales meeting. Not to mention the opportunity to chat and kibitz with fellow agents. All great stuff for sure, but you've got this little thing called time and time management. The biggest problem with time of course, it is finite. You really want to go to the meeting (you can lie), but between getting in the car to go to the meeting, drinking the three cups of coffee at the meeting, chatting it up with the resident agents, and then departing for the day. That one hour meeting turned into a three hour event.

There has got to be a better way, right?

Buckle up, here comes the hook. Here comes the keyword of the decade, TECHNOLOGY. As in, stay at home and log-in to the meeting from wherever you are. Here at our office we have implemented the online meeting concept to rave reviews. The beauty is those agents that live close or would rather come in to the office still have that opportunity. While others, due to scheduling conflicts or what have you, can log-in on from wherever and watch and interact with all the attendees in real time.

You can maximize your learning and your time management with the implementation of little thing called Technology. Amazing I know. In fact, most of your brokers/managers probably discuss that very keyword at the sales meetings. They may wax about the importance of getting your videos uploaded to YouTube or the importance of optimizing your website. Definitely sound advice, but what are they embracing at the office to help you?

Perhaps by bringing up the idea, you can help them take the necessary steps to implement some of these concepts and help you reach your goals.
