Dear William Raveis Family,
The Event '24 was a huge success! It was wonderful to see everyone so happy, full of energy, and excited to celebrate and network with friends both old and new.
Our 50th Awards & Celebration gathered nearly 1500 sales associates, managers, and employees including our former leadership team of Carolyn Deal, Mary Ann Evick, Joanne Paone, Terry Russo along with honored guests from LeadingRE, The Realty Alliance, and CT Realtors. Likewise, agents from Florida and South Carolina met and mingled with Raveis colleagues from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Everyone experienced firsthand our fun 360 Photo Booth, shopped Raveis merchandise, and listened to fabulous music by Mike DelGuidice and the Decadia Band. Raveis The Musical on Wednesday evening was a blast from the past with costumes and songs for every decade, along with an incredible solo performance by Stephanie Harnisch...very special.
Convention activities featured motivational speaker Amy Jo Martin, and Tom Ferry gave our group an insightful perspective on Buyer Broker at General Session. Our CHP training with mortgage and insurance was well attended as were all our Educational Breakout Sessions led by Dan Prud'homme, Byron Lazine, Christa Ross, Matthew Ferrara, and Chris Raveis. I expect participants came away with a lot of creative ideas and tips for securing business this year.
At William Raveis, we are committed to coaching our sales associates through every challenge and market situation. Building on this momentum, our leadership team is currently reviewing proposals from Tom Ferry International, T3 Sixty, Matthew Ferrara and others. NEXT WEEK is our rollout for specific training to help agents with value propositions for both the Buyer side and the Listing side. Additionally, Christa Ross and Cristy Dow will be teaching the nuts and bolts of Buyer Brokerage companywide. Please begin now and review Tom's slides using the link inside today's newsletter.
As the band leader, you have achieved nothing without the band and great people. You are the best in the business!
GO TEAM
With gratitude,
Bill
