Hi Everyone,

Its been exactly 45 days since my last update. (That felt a bit like confession!) Must do better, like one every two weeks....(which is my new goal!)

Its been a busy six weeks here at Corum Real Estate Services, we’ve been out on the road attending quite a few conferences - the Laing + Simmons Annual Conference, the Century 21 Annual Conference, and of course AREC 09!

This year Corum had two stands at AREC, one dedicated to Corum Real Estate Services, the other dedicated to Corum Training. I’m really proud of both stands this year. Real Estate Services theme was “Don’t blow your money on transaction fees” and we had a money blowing machine on the stand, with lucky winners at the end of every session trying to grab some great cash prizes. It was heaps of fun and definitely attracted a lot of attention. The theme for training was about getting FIT for your job, and we had a masseuse and a WII Fit on the stand which seemed to release the “competitive” side of a lot of the attendees. My marketing team were certainly busy for a couple of weeks leading up to this, but I must say, they did a fabulous job!

I’ve put together some photos of both stands that can be viewed on the web site.

Historical Reports for Agents now available on the web!
We are also about to release another product enhancement to the Agent Websites which will hopefully be a great time saver. As you know we email agent reports daily, and at the same time, they are made available on the website under your client account number. This has not changed, but now historical reports will be available for you to download at anytime. (Previously these were sent manually by customer care.

So if you need to “step back in time” for any reason you can now do so simply by logging into the agent portal. This enchancement goes live on the same day that iPhone 3.0 goes live - the 18th of June.

Congratulations Deborah Wallace
For the past two years, Deborah Wallace has worked very closely with me in developing business and providing some great customer service in the QLD and NT regions. Many of our QLD customers will know Deb well, as she has travelled extensively up and down the coast during this time -- not to mention all the events that she has attended. As I have taken on some additional responsibilities at Corum I am pleased to announce that Deb has, for her wonderful efforts, been promoted to National Sales Manager for Corum Real Estate Services. We are now keenly looking for an Account Manager in QLD to work with our BDM in Brisbane, Shaun Hosking. Please join me in congratulating Deborah.

That’s about it for this post, have a great week!
