Congratulations ActiveRain Ambassadors

What can I say?

I feel like I need to make an acceptance speech and start thanking everyone on earth that I can think of.  But instead, I've chosen to say a few simple things.

ActiveRain - Thanks.  I'm honored to in this group and think it's going to be a great time.  I appreciate all you've done for me (both as a network and on a personal level in interacting with you at different times).

Ambassadors - I look forward to seeing what we all can do.  I've said it before, but I truly think some of the businesses that call us on a daily basis should take a look at these sorts of programs.  The internet as far as agents are concerned is not a place to advertise, but to speak honestly about products and services and figure out if they work for you.  I think that as we speak with the new members we will be able to show them the cold hard facts based on the stories, successes, educational opportunities, and friendships we've built.  Hey, I found my broker thanks to my involvement in ActiveRain and now 2 of 44 Ambassadors are in the same office in San Antonio (Go RE/MAX Access!).  That's a pretty great ratio!

Can't wait.

Loreena - What's the saying...?  "Texas is the reason."

Steve - It's pretty exciting to be up there with many of them.  In reality, many of them were those that acted as Ambassadors to me when I came along.

Barbara - I can't wait.

Matt... how funny.  Go read my 2nd comment on Brad's blog.  I made that comment before reading this blog or yours.  ;o)  In any case, congrats to you and looking forward to working with your and the other Ambassadors.

Looks like there is now 45?   Awe shucks..that skews that ratio!

In any event....AWESOME JOB.  Can't wait to hear of the success stories from being an Ambassador holds.

Er, does this mean that I need to call you Sir or Lord of something along those lines?  HA HA

Matt, I though after my little "Naked" stunt that I would be out of the running----and then they feature the thing----go figure.  Do you suppose they would be ready for the "Naked Ambassador?"

I'm excited, but I need 10 minutes to slow down in this week.  Where does all the time go?  Yikes!

Sheila - No Sir or Lord needed, but I did hear Brad say we are entitled to really favorable commission splits.  In fact, I think he said we get a cut of our broker's commissions too.

Bob - Bring it on.  As long as you can find a building with air conditioning.  I doubt your servers could handle what we're going through right now with some serious a/c.

Steve - It's a great experience.  I've had a few conversations with new members already, I just need to squeeze some more time out of the day.

Chris - This office is about to get even better.  Watch Kristin's blog, she's usually the announcer of all.  We're small, but we're growing and it's growing with the right agents - not just a pulse and a license.  I couldn't love it here more if I tried.
