July 2021

This year is flying by!

The NBA championships have finished, the Olympics are in full swing and movies are back in theaters. Per our conversations, many of us are experiencing a strong momentum shift back into activities. Let's lean into that momentum collectively. For our next Zoom call, we will brainstorm on strategies to build and maintain momentum in our collective fields. Please be on the lookout for a Zoom invitation. Lastly, we are going to schedule a few area meet-ups in the next 30-60 days. If you are interested in hosting at your location, please let us know. We will also select a couple of neutral options for convenience.

Thanks,

-Kofi Nartey and The Sports and Entertainment Society Team

2022 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO GT FIRST DRIVE REVIEW: PEAK PERFORMANCE

CNet.com

Many in the business world are “business card ninjas” who litter events and emails with their card saying “call me if you ever need a _____.” This focus is all about selling one-on-one. Let’s face it, that focus is a lot of work with very little ROI.

What are different strategies you utilize to inspire greater performance from your employees/team members?

In my opinion, the best kind of companies are those where everyone works together cohesively. Encouraging and promoting teamwork boosts productivity because it makes employees feel less isolated and helps them to feel more engaged with their tasks. You can do this by regularly holding team-building exercises and opportunities for your team members to bond and get to know one another.

How do you utilize different strengths and weaknesses between different employees/teammates?

We spend a great amount of time educating ourselves, and each other on different personality traits. Our team completes DISC profiles, so we can better understand and communicate with one another. In addition, we spend much time and resources on our clients personality traits and communication methods. Over time and experience, we have learned that it’s best to have a team with different strengths or competencies, as no one individual can be great at every aspect of a transaction, and every person prefers to communicate differently. Many customers will gravitate towards one team member or another subconsciously because their personalities match.

What are the different measures you look at for employee/team member performance?

The biggest measures I look for in employee/ team member performance are work ethic, comradery, and communication. To me someone’s willingness to continue growing and working hard is a testament to their perseverance and dedication to the task at hand. Also, there is no stopping a team that gels well together and can communicate amongst each other.
