Denver Activerain Meetup Welcomed Some New Faces

Denver Activerain Meetup Welcomed Some New Faces - The Denver Activerain was a success, they always Activerain Meetupare, sure we missed some of regulars but we had a handful of new agents join us this time and it is always wonderful to get their take on everything and to help share successes we have had along the way - 

Attendees included -

  • Joy Sousa (1st on left) who is very interested in learning more about how to use Activerain,
  • Wan Lim, (Not pictured had to leave early) who needs some more encouragement and I think found some great people to learn from, 
  • Jody Bruns, CDLP, CMMU (2nd from right) who is a rising star on Activerain and a very respectable lender in Denver and also helped to sponsor this summers meetup
  • Mark Hunke (2nd from left) who has also dabbled in the rain but not fully committed
  • Donna Foerster (3rd from right) and her husband Rich (the man behind the camera) always great to see them 
  • Will Hamm (3rd from left)who is iconic in Colorado on Activerain and was a wealth of information to the newer agents
  • Teaching Amanda Fische (my alter ego deep in my soul) who goes everywhere I go and is always interesting in learning from others to help others

After margaritasIt was interesting hearing from the newer agents (even those that did not show up) as to why they do not spend much time on the rain once they sign up, the answer more often than not was because they are intimidated by it all, so many people that have reached career levels that seem unreachable to them and  putting themselves out there is a lot for them to grasp. I think the group we had was pretty good at giving guidance and encouraging these newer agents to dive in with both feet and hopefully we will see some more productive Rainers and agents because of it.

These pictures were the before and after the Margarita-ville was fired up!

If you are a new agent and finding the road more difficult than you thought, please send me a note and I would be happy to help.

I enjoy helping agents to find their niche!

I'm so glad Rich and I were able to make it. It's been quite a while since I've been to a meetup! Nice to reconnect. (Hey, I don't look too happy in the first photo, do I?? What's up with that? Good thing I suggested funny faces or people would think I'm borring!)

Yes Donna Foerster thanks for suggesting the "funny face" photo, I am usually against those, but love how that turned out

John- Loved your pictures!!!  I still say that seeing pics from the AR MeetUps are some of my favorite things here.  I've met Donna when she was in town several years ago!

Kathy, it is nice to see "action" shots of those we hear about and to see different photos beyond their profile, and I need to make it a point to visit others when I travel like Donna and others do.
