Jennie Gehring led the scripts & dialogues session last Friday. She started by sharing a quote she has hanging on her door..."Our attitude is more powerful than our circumstances" by Roger Crawford. She suggested we celebrate every success, large or small, especially now that every transaction can be more and more challenging. She passed out a recent blog post from Tom Peters - you can access "Dealing with Recessionary Times" at http://is.gd/pf3K. After reading this again I just have to say...wow, we should each read this every morning. She said if you don't sweat the details, as he lists, you cost your client - or yourself - money. A few of the other things Jennie mentioned:
  • Don't put yourself in harm's way. Don't be stupid.
  • Communication is key - trials will be a lot less difficult if you keep everyone in the loop.

Here's a tip - Jennie keeps an organized binder for each transaction she has - with tabs for all documents, and keeps the binder close by at all times. Binder tabs include:

  • Listing Contract
  • Title Work
  • Survey
  • Purchase Agreement
  • Miscellaneous

  1. Sorry I missed your session, Jennie. The Tom Peters blog item was outstanding. I'm printing it off and attaching it to my business plan, so i read it every day!
