I personally don't care for weekly sales meetings. I hear they are good for comraderie, knowing about the office listings, pushing your own haves and wants, etc.... I find them to be a waste of time though and more often then not, they take away an hour or 2-3 with the following tour that I could be doing much more productive things.
As a Realtor with a usually higher level of production, I am amazed at how much time agents socialize in the office or at meetings. When the market is tough like it is, you'd think everyone would be digging in, locking themselves in their office to make calls, send emails or regular mail to their sphere or out in the field meeting new people to add to their sphere. I add about 65 people a day on average to my sphere of influence using social networking. I would probably add 2-5 a day if I spent as much time as agents in my office BS-ing in the copy room and going on tours and free lunches offered by lenders and title people.
Do you all feel that socializing in the office is out of hand or that most agents just don't know how to go about effectively using their time they have? I am all for a good quality of life and I think I'm pretty balanced with work, family, owning and promoting our other business, Exquisite Home Tending and taking care of myself with exercise and personal ME time once in awhile. How do you all deal with the freedom of schedule and are you PRO sales meeting or CON?
