This isn't Texas, and this isn't Emeril. This is about thinking outside the box.
I just got back from a Chili Cook-Off.
Yes I know, it's Monday.
It was put on by a local title company (First American Title).
It couldn't have been simpler.
They had a number of office workers prepare their favorite chili recipes.
They then invited all their clients to judge.
Let's see...
Free Chili, Free Drinks, Free Lunch - You bet I'm there!
Once there, I spent little time chit chatting about Chili and instead spent a couple of hours discussing the market, meeting new people, and networking with Agents.
The surprising part?
I had more quality conversations around the Chili, than I typically have at the local Realtor Marketing Meetings (and that's what those meetings are for)
As just one example I sat next to and started talking to a commercial broker, we started talking about the finer points of spices, and the conversation turned to the marketplace, marketing, and loans. The next thing I know - he invited me to speak in front of his entire office!
That must have been some great Chili.
Many thanks to Jorgelina and First American Title for inviting me.
It might have been an otherwise normal Monday, but instead it was a great out of the box kind of day!
