Had an idea tonight.
I was thinking about the atmosphere of an office and the benefits of having an agency that I go to every day with other agents around to talk to and "compete" with. When I started in this business I wanted to escape the office scene...but sometimes I find myself missing it now. I don't really want to open an agency but sometimes it would be nice to have someone kick me in the rear for playing Nascar on my Xbox for two hours instead of making telemarketing calls. So I thought maybe we could start a separate forum on the site for that.
This forum would be your very own "virtual office" where you report to daily and tell everyone what your goals are for the day or week or month and where, at the end of the day, you are accountable for your time. How many calls did you make today? How many appts did you set? What was your funniest case today? Whatever...stupid stuff that i sometimes miss about being in an office.
Haven't really thought about how to structure it, but wanted to toss the idea for either brainstorming or a good laugh. It would have to be something where you are signed up for it and there is something like a "chalkboard" (you know the ones, you Ex-UA, Ex-NAA, and Ex-MEGA people) where your name is written and your monthly, weekly, and daily stats are visible to all (for accountability and competition). Of course, many people would hate this, but I think for many of us this would be a great way to improve our productivity.
We could also do weekly or monthly training sessions using something like vyew or gotomeeting.com where we education one another on new stuff pertinent to our industry.
This could even be fee-based to offset administrative costs...a portion of those fees could go towards awards for top cold caller or top deal closer or whatever.
What U think?
Each subject title could be that days date...you log on and report to work...time and all. I think this would be a great way to track results and motivate one another!
