Giving In

I've spent a ton of time in the last two years training agents and managers about blogging ... why they are important, where to find the best free blogs and accessories for your blogs, what to write about, plus all of my little disclaimers (be careful! it's a commitment! blah blah blah) and in the end, I ALWAYS said, as much as I love to read blogs, I wasn't into writing one of my own.

Well, obviously I've officially given in today. If any of our Hside agents are really out there reading this - and I know that's a big if, I hope to provide you with helpful information that you can actually use. I may also try to be funny along the way. Just bear with me.

My first task as the Education Director for CB Hearthside is to re-work the entire education program. I am excited about all of the possibilities involved with this endeavor. We had some great little programs at Diamond that I hope to combine with some of the great education that Hside is already offering. Since we are now 23 offices strong and spread over 5 counties and two states, our training program has to be state-of-the-art and top notch all the way. Being a geek, I of course want to take some of our programs online via web-ex or video. I know the idea of this scares non-geeks, but I promise to make the transition as painless as possible. Classroom training will not go away, it will only be enhanced.

For my Diamond agents (who are not reading this either) ... all Learn 2 Earn sessions are on hold for June & July. Sales Academy will be on hiatus after the last two classes of our current session 6/9 and 6/16. Office visits are also on hold for the summer. My office is moving from Pottstown to Willow Grove, so feel free to call me there if anything comes up. Otherwise, I will keep everyone posted via this blog, the EDU 2.0 blog :)
