OT08 Wrap Up and CB Works

Happy Friday All :) My Office Tour 2008 finished yesterday with my last manager meeting. What a trip - it was so great to meet all of the managers and spend some face time with each one.

Working on the class schedule for the rest of the year today (almost ready to publish) and writing out some new classes over the next two weeks or so ... also scheduling my regular office visits (usually two each week) for the rest of 2008.

I popped in CB Works this morning as I normally do and thought, what the heck can I blog about today ... then of course - Getting Into CB Works!

I just had a 3 year + agent say to me yesterday, "I never go into CB Works, how do I get in again"? Don't worry Steve Lecco of the Philadelphia Office, it will be our little secret ;) OR NOT! How do you get into CB Works as a new agent or get in again as a not-so-new agent? It's not as scary or hard as you might think.

TRICKY PART - if you don't remember which email address you used to set up your CB Works account originally, you will have to call the Help Desk. Luckily, their # is also right here for us when we try to login, under where it says, Need Help? Yes. Get it here.

For the Diamond folks, since we have not been changed over to Hearthside yet in the Coldwell Banker systems, you will need to enter your @diamondrealtors.com email address.

Good luck and as always ... email me if you have any questions.

Have a great weekend!

Moving on OT08

It's pretty sad when I have to look at my calendar to remember where I was this week :) On Wednesday, I visited our Southampton Office and met with Jim Smyth. It seems like every time I meet with another manager I have an "aha" moment and think of something else we can add to our Education Program. Jim did not disappoint - I was scribbling down ideas the second I was finished. Jim and his Admin - Janet - happened to have lunch next door where I was lunching with a few Willlow Grove friends, so we couldn't seem to get away from one another.

On Thursday, I met with Andy Decker out in our Hellertown Office. Andy is the manager for our new (and not yet open) Allentown Office. Andy has been with Coldwell Banker franchises for the last 9 years and really knows her work. Her excitement was infectious and I can't wait to see what she does up there.

OT 08 will come to a close this coming week with visits to Doylestown, New Hope and Rockledge.

We have so many things to discuss! More soon :0

More OT08 - Buckingham and Willow Grove

Okay ... just a few more left, I promise. On Monday, I was in Buckingham. The manager here is Nancy Bremble. Nancy is also has ownership interests in a handful of the Hearthside Offices. This is a small boutique office up Route 611 in Bucks County.

The agents in the Buckingham Office were great - a few pics below ... that's Nancy below - middle pic on left side. Thanks for a great office visit!!!


Today, I was in Willow Grove. This is where my office is located and where I started my real estate career, so I am right at home in the Willow Grove Office. I attended their Sales Meeting this morning along with a few other special guests. We discussed eShowings, Toolkit CMA and RealFast 2 Go. Then I met with the manager - Pam Sheehan to go over my Education Plan. Pam was my boss over at CB Diamond, and the whole reason I am here at all, so this was a day that I was looking forward to for awhile.

I didn't take any pics today, but this is an older photo from February of this year ... from the Coldwell Banker International Business Conference - that's Pam and me with Thing 1 and Thing 2 in Orlando.


Up next ... Southampton, Doylestown, New Hope, Rockledge. See you then!
