You missed it! The greatest send off in real estate training history!

After 7 weeks of training with the Floyd Wickman program, our SMART Realtor’s finalized their skills, were rewarded with some hard earned recognition, and sent their trainer, Steve Poscente, off in style. It started out with awards, moved on to a singing telegram, pushed through a testicle festival hat and ended with some music and a group photo.

Here’s Steve with the singing telegram we gave him. What a guy!

Check out more of these photos on our MySpace or Facebook!

Good job agents and thanks a lot Steve!

In today’s staff meeting we covered some very interesting topics. So for those of you who weren’t able to make it or for others who are just interested, here is a recap.

PMZ Home Loans market update:

  • Interest rates below 6% are still available including for FHA and VA loans.
  • Banks are tightening down restrictions on underwriting new loans. Contact a PMZ Home Loans agent so that they can step you successfully through the process.

Floyd Wickman Training update:
PMZ Real Estate agents are well into their 5th week of the 7 week training program. We heard from several agents that have found great benefit from the program. The program has helped one agent overcome her shyness, allowing her to do some phone prospecting without even breaking a sweat. Another agent learned how to consolidate all his contacts into one location and to contact at least 100 of them a month for referrals.

Today was the first day of Floyd Wickman training at PMZ University in Modesto. I stopped by to check out what was going on, shoot some pictures and take a little video.

PMZ agents were highly motivated keeping their trainer on his toes.

If you want to see what I saw, check out our MySpace or Facebook photo albums and videos.

Thanks to Jill Minerva for the tip!
