Open Door - online some Mondays, 1:00-2:30

Rebecca wants a conversation. She’s been to Best Client Workshop, but it’s been awhile – and she wants to know what’s new in Best Client world. There’s always something new in every world. In PowerCore world it’s Open Door.

Your question is the key to Open Door. When you see the Open Door icon click the headline and add a question in the comments. You’ll get a calendar invitation with the screenshare link. That’s it. Log on when you’re ready, log off when you’re through.

The next Open Door is Monday, 1 February, online from 1:00 to 2:30.  Interested?

Hector Lopez earns 5 in three.

The Whitlock Avenue Team cheered for Hector Lopez as he added a 5 Year Pin to a badge that shows active participation.

What it doesn’t show is that Hector has participated at three different times, on three different Teams. I asked him why he chose to return. “When I’m in a role where my responsibility is client attraction, my first thought is PowerCore.”

Hector knows your referrals shape his business.
Gratitude and applause both ways.

Physical Distance + Social Connection

Seven Members of the Buckhead Team show lunch at Hopstix is fun on a Wednesday.

It was Mark and Karen’s anniversary that day (there are two PowerCouples on the Buckhead Team) and Mark shared he was taking her to Kaiser Chophouse for dinner.

A bumble bee kept bothering them, so Robert “punched” it, and said that’s a great way to get rid of bees. (Good to know.)

It was enough fun that they discussed their next outing in a month!

Ames and Wise Toast 25 Years

It was October 6, 1995, when Kevin Ames and David Wise joined the Buckhead PowerCore Team — and for 25 years Ames and Wise have bracketed the roster.

To see what they’ve been doing, referral-wise, in the meantime, click their names to see their personal profile pages.

Friday morning they were feted by the Team, including Member memories and a toast. The TCO presented them each with a $25 gift card to Waffle House, because, as you can plainly see, it’s their 25 year habit to go to breakfast after the meeting.  With congratulations, and a cheer!

Paulding MtCO Presents PowerLinks Certificates!

During the last four months of video meetings the Paulding Team has welcomed six new Members.

This morning was their inaugural back-in-person meeting, and Jennifer awarded three PowerLinks Certificates!

Kurt, Danny, and Chris are supported by MtCO Jennifer Chadwick (on the left) and TCO Mike Lonati, Jr. (on the right).

Check them out from the Paulding Team profile page.

PowerPup Opportunity

Paulding is Quick to 100% - and that's not even the best part!

The Paulding Team had 100% participation answering the Referral Trigger question online at 1:02 on Monday – that might be a speed record!

The reason Teams answer the Referral Trigger question online is to give more content to Members’ personal profile page. and the Paulding Team’s answers were just that credible.  (Look at Keely’s answer.) Click here to read the value they get from FeedForward cards.

You Have Naming Rights

Last Wednesday at Virginia Highlands I saw Chip Ivie‘s email address under his picture. Makes it easy to send FeedForward.

Friday at Midtown Ed Torrence had his classification listed beside his name. When I shared Chip’s technique Bruce immediately recognized the benefit.

Without name badges, or cards in the box, I’m wondering if what we put under our picture is a way to differentiate and make ourselves memorable.

Good job, guys.

How John McColl Keeps the Time

Check this out – during InfoMinutes and 7-Minutes at the East Cobb Team John uses his phone to keep time.

Knowing we can’t hear the timer when someone else is speaking, he holds it to the screen, so it’s easy to see the time passed.

Great best practices: visual timer, count up.

Thanks, John.

Newnan Team - in person!

Thanks to a wide swath of activity by Members, effective preparation from the LeadershipCore, and communication with Members, the Newnan Team welcomed a Visitor (who said he’d be back next week, and asked about attending Information Monday!) for the accounting seat a this week’s meeting – their fourth at the new location.   Their focus workshop was The Care and Feeding of GateOpeners, and thanks to Danny, Cassi came up with a great customer service option for her marketing filing cabinet.  A profitable way to start the day.

What Was vs What Is

Have you entered the desktop zone yet?

We’ve been smacked with a reminder to never say never.
PowerCore Teams are reporting unanimously that an online meeting is superior to not meeting.

TCOs and other Officers have been getting updates and sharing tools.
Visitors and New Members are common — and Erik got his blue ribbon removed today!
It’s not life as usual, but it’s not life alone.
Go make money!
