The very first 10 year Member on the Whitlock Avenue Team is… Kriston Sellier! Ten years, when you joined, where was your business? I was in my basement. Where is your business compared to 10 years ago? We’re in Marietta Square. We have a beautiful space, we’re doing work for clients that are in revenues of 500 million…
Gold Star is the icon given to Members who have invited 5 people who joined. Jim, what do you see that makes you think, “I think I’ll invite them.” When I’m out in the field, just doing what we do every day, I’m looking for people who are ready to share their capabilities and get involved. You…
In my mind, when you joined, Scott, you were at the very beginning stages of your own business. That’s correct. When you first came to the table, what was your fear? I couldn’t produce enough referrals. What was your hope? That I’d build a run a successful business, and help other people on the way. What has happened that was better…
Amy, you weren’t really a Member during CoreGroup, but you attended a lot of those meetings because you were subbing for someone from your office. The minute you got a chance, you joined this Team, so it feels like you’re one of the original Members. You have options, right? You could have said, “No, I’ll let…
The Peachtree City Team cheered congratulations to Carol Jensen-Linton as she added a 15 year pin to a brimming badge. Let’s start with math: 15 years, 50 weeks a year, that means 750 meetings at 7am- plus leadership responsibilities. I asked Carol if she’s gotten any value from this. A solid third of my business comes…
When the Candler Park Team celebrated Howard’s 20 Year Pin – yowza that is an achievement – I asked what had kept him engaged that long, and he said “The relationships, obviously.” I know Howard well enough to push back, so I said – what? not the money? Obviously, it’s the referrals. You’ve always got to think…
Don’t you want to know what has kept Trent attending a Tuesday morning meeting for 15 years? That’s 750 seven AM meetings. I asked. He said: I actually just walked in the door 15 years ago, looking for referrals and really just kind of took to heart the concepts of referral marketing. And I’ve actually just…
My question for Melanie was: did you know when you came to the very first planning meeting for this Team that you’d be at this table every morning for five years? “No, you tried to talk me out of joining.” That’s true. And you said, “I think I can do this.” What made you feel this would…
Louis was an active Member – and then life took him in another direction. Still, he came back to his Team. When people come back, I’m always interested in why. So I asked: “I like the structure. I like the credibility, and I like the accountability that we hold each other to. It’s very important….
JB pinned his business card on a bulletin board at a gas station. Tommy Schlosser called, asked how that was working for him, invited him to visit the Whitlock Team! Five years and five Officer roles later, JB added a 5 Year Pin. I asked why he’s attended this meeting every Friday for five years and participated in…
