This morning a class was being held in the office. The teacher was one of our three Prosperity loan officers. The students were agents who wanted to learn more about FHA loans. The topic is geared to the intermediate agent but the class is open for any agent in the office. It took two conference rooms opened up to accommodate the students and it was crowded in the space.
Last evening we celebrated our March volume by holding a Cinco de Maya party from three to five, at The Rio Grande restaurant. We just took over one whole end of the bar where the agents stopped by for a drink to say hello. It was a lovely party, a time to chat with other agents they already know but seldom see and to meet the new agents.
Yesterday the morning class was held for our beginner agents and was taught by Sarah T., one of our expert agents who along with Suzanne oversee the Fast Fundamentals. At the moment, we have ten agents in that class. Obviously, the content is basic but many of our experienced agents will attend, if the topic is pertinent to them or they feel rusty on the topic being taught.
Today at noon is grilled lunch, out in our garden, which is an eight foot wide area dividing the next building. Dennis begged, borrowed or stole tables and chairs along with umbrellas, so now we call the area "The Gateway Garden". Dennis and Jim light the two barbecues and agents and staff bring meat to grill, then we sit outside and eat lunch together.
One of the keys to a successful large operation is to have many many different opportunities for learning and playing. We at the Gateway office are very good at celebrating and very good at learning new techniques along with multiple opportunities to do both. It is certainly one of the keys to our success.
