Apex Incentive Trip Winners Soak Up Fun and Sun in Cancun
Setting sales goals at the beginning of the year is an important activity for all organizations. We do it every year at Apex to set the stage for the year ahead and provide incentives to reward successful Advisors for a job well done. I’m proud to say that all of our Advisors are dedicated to making sure our clients are taken care of and that deals are handled professionally and successfully.
Our biggest incentive is a vacation for the Advisor (and his or her significant other) and I’m happy to report that my wife Pam and I recently hosted our annual Cancun trip for our largest group ever…six very deserving Advisors!
Besides having the opportunity to show my appreciation (because they will tell you I’m not known to offer daily compliments) and to celebrate their success, it’s also an opportunity to build team bonds, recharge our batteries and refresh our minds.
We love going to the Excellence Resorts in Playa Mujeres because it’s all adult, all inclusive resort that makes it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves (Btw, the beach and spa are wonderful!)
This is a very stressful business, so getting away from it once in awhile is very important. I encourage every business owner to take a break periodically from the business to connect with family and friends and escape from the daily grind.
This practice was started by my predecessor 15 years ago and I’ve found tremendous value in keeping the tradition going. We’re often so focused on the deals, the ups and downs of transactions, and the process, that it’s sometimes too easy to forget about what’s important in life.
As I mentioned before, I’m definitely not the best at giving ongoing praise and feedback, so an annual vacation award will at least recognize those brokers who exceeded the goals we set. And it goes without saying that the significant others get to celebrate with us because they’ve been there to support us and have had to take on our stresses when deals fall apart, get delayed, or are just emotional transactions.
We’re already looking forward to next year’s trip!
