QUOTE: "Successful people decide how they are going to live; they are not victims of circumstance. In good times or bad times, they know where they are going and they know that they are going to get there." Bob Proctor, Author and Speaker

I’M SORRY, I DIDN’T HEAR THAT, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? Another great article by Jeffrey Gitomer. http://www.gitomer.com/articles/ViewPublicArticle.html?key=ajcdMibak3N4buzS4v8YUA%3D%3D

REALLY GOING PAPERLESS FOR $130.00. Check out this site from Brothers. It is a very compact portable scanner for less than $130.00. Situation, you are at your sellers home and you are preparing one required form after another. The law states you must give the customer a copy of the forms they sign immediately. You plug in your compact scanner, scan the documents, and then, give the originals to the customer. You submit your scanned documents to the Paperless system and wella you are done. How much easier could it get? Here is the link, I am sure there are other such scanners, this is just one: http://www.brothermall.com/OtherProducts/ProdDetail.aspx?Model=DS600&WT.mc_id=BMG00104C&WT.mc_ev=click&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

JD POWERS LICENSE TO KELLER WILLIAMS; IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note, however, that we licensed the right from J.D. Power and Associates for all of us to incorporate the J.D Power and Associates survey ranking into our marketing materials, and that contract expires June 30, 2010!

What this means is that it’s time to stop using these claims and trademarks. Please note, however, that if we automatically added the J.D. Power and Associates logo and “Highest Satisfaction” information to your individual or market center Website, we’ll be able to remove it remotely – no action is needed on your part.

If you have included the J.D. Power and Associates information on any printed materials, you can complete your current inventory, but be sure that the J.D. Power and Associates claims or trademarks do not appear on new materials.

DEPOSIT CONFLICTS BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER FORM. To insure all buyers and sellers understand the company policy regarding any deposit that is in dispute between buyer and seller, a new form has been created and has been uploaded to http://www.slidellcalendar.com/ in the Document Sectin in both the Sales Forms and the Listing Forms section. The form has also been placed in both the Listing Form and the Sales Form binders in the Resource Room.

“DANGER WILL ROBINSON” (I’m showing my age): A report appearing in the Washington Post on January 13, 2010 indicated that 1.4 MILLION car accidents occurred last year while DRIVERS were using their cell phones. Of that number 200,000 were actually texting. No one appreciates personal freedom more than I do but the time has come where people need to be protected not only from their own actions but more importantly by the senseless actions of others. Unless there is a life-threatening situation there is absolutely no need to use your cell phone while you are driving. If you must use it, pull over; whether you believe it or not, you ARE a menace to public safety. When you make the pledge to NOT use your cell phone while driving you are protecting your own personal liability, the company’s liability, your safety and the safety of everyone on the highway. If you think this only applies to the “other guy” you need to look in the mirror – you can be and probably will be the other guy, it is only a matter of time. You can purchase a Magnetic Car Sign indicating No Cell Phones for about $9.00 from Signs Now next to Office Depot.
