\nLast Friday, I just happened to listen in on the Schell Brothers sales peeps casually talking about what gets them up in the morning.\u00a0 What a great time to be a fly on the wall.\u00a0 Our whole Schell Brothers team is known for being incredibly motivated and it was pretty cool to catch this group in the act of talking about it.\u00a0 While their motivations vary all over the place, the common thread is that their passion for what they do runs deep.\u00a0 \u00a0There were even a few tears shed when people talked about their families.
\nI\u2019ll start with Josh, who’s part of our Insight team and very focused on our country’s ability to be more self-sufficient in terms of resources.\u00a0 He\u2019s proud to work for a company that provides homes that are truly energy efficient, resulting in a world that will be better tomorrow than it is today.\u00a0 Pretty cool.
\nCindy, who sells at the Marina<\/a>, said quite simply, \u201cI guess to sum it up in the fewest words, I just love what I do.\u201d
\nThe longest story came from Michelle, who now sells at Sunset Harbour<\/a> after getting her sales start at Independence<\/a>.\u00a0 She compared her love of a good exercise workout to the thrill of choreographing every customer experience.\u00a0 Michelle said that one day she found herself competing with an unknowing teenager who happened to be next to her on the treadmill at the gym.\u00a0 When the girl revved up her speed, Michelle upped hers as well.\u00a0 Determined not to give up, she forced herself to stay on the machine longer than her newfound competitor, whom she ultimately outlasted.\u00a0 That day, the most notable thing for Michelle was that she didn\u2019t even check her miles when she left the treadmill.\u00a0 She realized it wasn\u2019t so much the end result that mattered to her \u2013 it was the thrill of the race, the drive to succeed, and the decision to enjoy the race as long as it lasted.\u00a0 The lively workout was the best way for Michelle to describe the energy she devotes to creating a fun and exciting interaction with every customer.\u00a0 She said, \u201cI love sharing time with customers and personalizing the buying experience for them.\u201d
\nLarry, our selections coordinator, talked about the thrill of watching the excitement build with customers as they make choices that ultimately result a unique dream home.\u00a0 He added how rewarding it is to hear new buyers speak so highly about other members of the Schell Brothers team on a regular basis.
\nThe other Josh on our sales team who sells at\u00a0 The Retreat at Love Creek<\/a> and The Villages at Herring Creek<\/a> summed up his motivation this way, \u201cEvery day when I get up it\u2019s for one purpose \u2013 to enjoy life and have fun.\u00a0 This company has embraced that.\u00a0 On top of that, I respect everybody I work with so much; the last thing I\u2019d want to do is let any of them down.\u00a0 And by the way, the happy stories we create with our customers \u2013 that\u2019s the best part of the job.\u201d
\nWow, who wouldn\u2019t want to buy a home from this crowd?\u00a0 I’m proud to work with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
