Wisconsin Spring Tech Tour Wraps Up – Minnesota Tour Takes Off!

Are you looking for some top notch training in a small-group setting that also happens to be close to home?

Check out our Spring Tech Tour stopping at three locations throughout Minnesota next week!

Members of the RE/MAX North Central regional staff just toured Wisconsin, making stops in Madison, Waukesha (see picture), and Neenah.  Each training featured timely information on today’s hottest tech tools, upgrades to RE/MAX systems, and best social media practices.  In addition, the groups were big enough to network and gather new ideas from but were also small enough for some one-on-one attention.  Don’t miss your chance to take advantage of this unique training opportunity!

 

Spring Tech Tour Takes to the Road

Happy first day of spring!  As we warmly invite this new season into our lives I thought it would also be appropriate to invite you to join us at the upcoming Spring Tech Tour.

This tour will criss-cross Minnesota and Wisconsin, stopping at six different destinations between the two states, and will tout the newest information on RE/MAX systems, tech tools, and social media.

“A Fresh Look at RE/MAX” will share all that is new with RE/MAX and present you with the Top 10 RE/MAX tools and practices you should be using to generate leads and save money.

“An App for That” will cover the various handheld tools currently on the market as well as the applications you’ll want to add-on to make them worth your time.

“Social Media Made Simple” will teach you how to effectively build your networks, implement them into your business, and develop them to help make you money.

A lot of information, plus a fair share of fun, awaits you on the Spring Tech Tour!  Click here for more details and to REGISTER TODAY!

It’s a Convenience Thing

remax_nc_trainings_headerWe know you’re busy.  We also know (because we ask in all of our surveys) that you also want to keep up with RE/MAX tools and systems and the ever-evolving technology that’s out there.  That’s why we’re offering more and more online training sessions.  This way, you can access timely and relevant training courses from the comfort of your own office, home, or favorite coffee shop.  It’s a convenience thing!  And if you haven’t tuned into a webinar lately, it’s really simple to log in.  I mean it.  I’m by no means a tech savvy person, and if I can figure out how to register and attend, you can too.  Of course, if you prefer live training courses we have a few of those as well.  Just peruse the list below to see all of our January training sessions’ dates and times and use the link to learn more and to register!

Pretty Dang Lucky

remax_webinar_logosmall-copyI don’t want to sound like I’m complaining, because I know for being a north central region we’re pretty dang lucky with our mild fall weather, but I will say the recent dip in overnight temperatures has put a little chill in my bones and I find it’s easier to stay inside once I’m inside.

Well, if you’re feeling anything like me, you’re probably going to love the fact that you can get in on a ton of great RE/MAX training opportunities without even leaving the building. Heck, you get in on them without even leaving your desk!

Join RE/MAX North Central  from the comfort of your warm office or home for any or all of these upcoming webinars:

Need a Great Idea? I Have a Few!

It’s a busy time of year – wouldn’t you agree?  As a real estate agent I have to believe you’re running around from one showing to another, to a listing presentation, to an open house (maybe?!), to closings, to whatever else it is you do!  And I’m sure you’re just as busy in your personal life: cutting the grass, attending weddings, hometown reunions at your local town festival (don’t lie – you know you like it), baseball games, trips to the lake, so on so forth.  I get it!  I’ve been right there with you!

But…..I would hate for you to forget about some really important events.  RE/MAX TRAININGS!  That’s why I’m here to tell you there’s one coming up tomorrow!  An Intro to LeadStreet training is being held tomorrow, Wednesday, August 10th at 1PM at the Northland Plaza Suite 140.  You can click here for details.

Wait!

I have a better idea!

Click here – it’s the link to our Training Calendar tab where we post all of our upcoming events: live trainings, webinars, conventions, etc.  You can actually see it from here, just look up to the bar with all the tabs.  It’s right there smashed between Home and Events.    See it?  Go ahead, click on it, you’ll see all the wonderful events we have coming up.  And check back often because we are constantly updating it!

In fact I just had another great idea…..bookmark it!

Come on – what are you waiting for?
