A Mentoring Group Can Kick Your Business Up a Notch!

I’ve been a member of the Cyberprofessionals since 1995.  The group originally met chatting on the old RE/MAX Compuserve forum and had an idea; meet in person and share tools, systems, marketing ideas and technology.  Only 9 agents attended that first meeting in Stamford, CT and we arrived by car, plane and train.  Each of the attendess presented a topic they felt would benefit other members of the group.  I remember being wowed by a presentation on Microsoft Publisher; another member spoke on representating buyers, long before buyer agency was commonly practiced. I talked about farming, a topic I am still passionate about.

Since that first meeting in Stamford, the group, now numbering over 50 and no longer just RE/MAX agents, meets twice a year in locations across the country.  At our meetings, we each share our "fifteen minutes of fame".  You’ll find the rest of our history and membership information on the Cyberprofessionals Website.  
 
Forming or participating in a mentoring group is a golden opportunity to improve your business and make lifelong friends. With the rapid rise of social networking sites, it is easy to make contacts with agents from across the country you might want in your group. Consider meeting prior to the NAR convention or another industry event like a Real Estate Franchise convention.
 
My advice…have few rules, keep it casual, and share your best stuff!
