Traveling, Learning and Growing

by Brandy Brown

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Canada to attend Exclusive Training for EXIT Realty Franchisees and Broker/Owners. As always anytime I m in the room with my EXIT Family it's inspiring, and most of the time life-changing. Why do you think that is (besides that big "I" part of my personality)? I think it's because the attendees are the only other people who can truly and in reality understand what we go through as owners of franchises every day. They are the only other people who can know what it is like to carry all of your own stuff and then carry all of your brokers'/agents' stuff too. Couple being in the room with people who are exactly like me (but definitely not like me either) and the support of our Regional Ownership Team it's pretty damn inspiring. Oh I just got started.... then you sprinkle in a little back office and Franchise Support Team, add the secret sauce, our corporate training and mentorship team, and then you get Craig Witt our CEO up there to deliver the most heartfelt bottom-of-the-9th bases loaded coaches talk, add in his Canadian counterpart Joyce Paron AND HOLY MOTHER OF MY GOD WOWZER!! Not to mention they start each day with our founder Steve Morris and man if you haven't ever listened to him for even 5 minutes you probably should go right here: Up Close & Personal With Steve Morris No one and I mean no one believes in EXIT Realty than he does and it's incredible to listen to how we started, where we are now and where we are going. He has a continuous vision for us and we are the only company in the industry that has our Residual Income Opportunity to build long-lasting wealth.

Well not only did we go there but they brought out our VP Of Technology to teach us a thing or two with our industry-leading technology that includes our mobile business cards, our personalized smart signs, our social media library, and our app. Yeah, we actually have our own functional app!

We got Thursday to cut loose and have dinner together with our corporate leadership and our unmatched franchise support team. I did a lot of dancing.

On Friday we finished out our last day with our Fabulous US Division President Lori Muller and of course our Co-Chair Tami Bonnell. Since the two of them mentor me and they are extremely powerful women leaders I can't help but be in awe when they talk. I always get a whole bunch of information from them, but mostly I get their support. "I've got you" is said over and over again by these women in fact by everyone in our Corporate Structure, and I actually believe it. Can you say that about yours?

A couple weeks after that I attended the Upper MidWest Regions Annual Retreat for Broker/Owners. Bob McKinnon was there, I always enjoy the opportunity to spend time with Bob and listen to him. He has so much knowledge. He said something this time that will remain with me forever, "do you have batteries included?" I need to know if you do before we can do business together. And I am getting really comfortable at saying it out loud. I have to say that my Regional Team Bill Pankonin and Cade Pankonin, these guys have got the stuff. They brought the best of the best in our region together with over 50 years of combined real estate experience to speak to us as to how they have built successful EXIT Franchises. This is amazing. I am recharged, reorganized, and ready to continue to bring the best of the best in the industry to Colorado Springs. EXIT Realty has the stuff and I'm going to tell you all about it. Let's have lunch. 719.373.9864
