Remember when the classroom was FILLED with students? Remember when they were all smiling...and so were you? Well, who s in charge of that? YOU ARE! As instructors we need to send a positive message to our students, and maybe that starts with a positive attitude within us! Come down memory lane with Marcie. Reminisce and restore your attitude! Are We Teaching the Right Stuff? The Real Estate Commission determines what the licensees must know for licensure; however, the licensee comes out with a license and NO skill set, NO customer service, people skills and NO business planning. So if we want agents to STAY in the business after they are licensed, we have to answer the question, Are we teaching the right stuff? What s Ethics Got to Do with Social Media? Have you seen all of the violations out there on the social media sites? Violations of not only ethics but license law are everywhere. Let s make a plan to help licensees become more professional in the viral environment called Web 2.0, and that includes trainers too! 3200 Presidential Drive, Atlanta, GA 30340 Tel 678.597.4118 Fax 770.458.6992 For more details visit: WWW.ANNUALSCHOOLMEETING.COM
