The Green Light
It’s been said, “To succeed you must believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.”
This week, I have the good fortune to announce the “reality” that some Pre-Paid Legal Services associates have created for themselves. Branden and Emilee Samaniego of Nuevo, California and Jeff and Erin Kebble (JK Consulting) of Marietta, Georgia have just earned their $100,000 ring and Carlo Brown of Capital Heights, Maryland is our newest Millionaire Club Member. Congratulations.
Here’s more on that passion and reality:
Frank/Theresa AuCoin Report – This past week, South Carolina held two “powerful” Super Saturdays – one in northern part of the state and the other in southern South Carolina. To make it interesting, they organized a competition to see which region would generate the most participation. With 864 participants, upstate South Carolina won and RM Dari Spurgeon and his wife, TaShauna, will be the dinner guests of Frank and Theresa AuCoin. Frank says Hardy Blash of Rex, Georgia did a “fabulous” job in his presentation at the upstate event, filling in for Mike Humes who could not attend due to an airport closing. Corey Muhammad of Charlotte, North Carolina and Ron Mueller “fired up” the attendees at the event in southern part of South Carolina.
Brooks Werkheiser Report – Brooks says he took to heart the phrase, “The woods are full of people looking for a way to earn extra income.” He says it’s an eye opener at meetings because it’s true. This past week, Brooks was Little Rock, Arkansas as a guest speaker. He highlights Debbie Mosley, Jan Whitney, Joel and James Johnson and Doyce and Lana Tarkington for their efforts in building that market. Brooks was scheduled to be in Mobile, Alabama on Monday; in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday; and in Montgomery on Thursday.
Larry/Doni Smith Report – Last week, Larry and Doni held a luncheon in Glendale, Arizona that included 32 associates and 14 guests. On Thursday night, Bill Harrel led an area meeting that included 40 associates and 10 guests and there was Friday luncheon with 10 associates and five guests. Julie Christopher reports their Monday night briefing included presentations by MCM Brenda Anderson and Joseph Wray. ED Harold Branch was the guest speaker at a Tempe event this past week that include 45 associates and six guests.
Bill/Linda Carter Report – Bill was in northwest New Mexico on Saturday for a Super Saturday organized by RM Mike Halona of Arizona and CMC Nona Phoebus. New RMs Matt and Valerie Cano are starting up a new business luncheon in Santa Fe and the meeting attendance at the Albuquerque meeting has doubled. Coming this Saturday, CMCs Anthony and Sandra Geck are hosting a special Saturday event, as well as another special program that will feature Mike Halona.
Ron/Norma Crutcher Report – “Heavy Weather” forced the rescheduling of last week’s Super Saturday in Dayton, Ohio; however, the area leadership acted quickly and “brilliantly,” replacing that event with a marathon of recruiting calls from noon until 10:00 p.m. More than 100 people called in with guests. Ron also congratulates GVP Amilda Coffman for her efforts in securing the involvement of three Kroll executives at the advanced product training on February 13.
Jack Buflin Report – TTMP (Talk to More People) is the new battle cry in Tennessee. With two new meetings launched this past week in Cleveland and Knoxville, there will be more people to talk to. Jack congratulates Debi Moseley and Nancy Mattox for the great work they are doing in the Memphis market. On Tuesday of this week, Jack is scheduled to speak in Chattanooga and he’s expecting a strong turn out because of the ongoing efforts of Donald Jenkins and Lee Duckett.
Ross/Cindy Chantrel Report – In addition the region’s regular meeting schedule, there is a new Friday luncheon Overland Park, Kansas that has generated strong participation thanks to the efforts of Director Don Dalrymple. On Wednesday of last week, ED Tracy Harrop conducted Missouri license test training. Ross says he is personally contacting Kansas City associates to enlist their support in rebuilding the Tuesday night business briefing.
Patti Ross and Ken Smith Report – Patti congratulates Gloria Houghton as the new regional manager for Alberta south. Gloria has been one of the top producers in the area for years. This week, a new meeting will start up Calgary at the Elks Lodge and Golf Club. In North Alberta RM Linda Rasmussen’s numbers are up more than 200 percent for the past week. British Columbia has a number of special events coming up and a new luncheon will soon start up. Katie Huff of Lola, Montana will be the guest speaker at the next advanced product training event.
Eddie Sturgis Report – Bill Stovall of Greenville, North Carolina will be in Oklahoma next week for group school and advanced product training. Eddie reports that new meetings have begun in Claremore and Muskogee. On Thursday of this week, he will be in Muskogee for a business briefing. It’s good to hear the Norman meeting is starting up again and will be supported by Steve Bratcher and other area directors. Looking forward, Eddie is scheduled to lead a leadership summit the first weekend in March.
Mark Michaud Report – Maine just held a successful Super Saturday with Aaron James of Chula Vista, California as the guest speaker. Mark says there was excellent attendance at the event and that Aaron “made a strong impression on everyone present.”
After reading this, I hope you agree that we have the “passion” and we certainly have the “product.” Now it’s only a question of the “reality” we want to create for ourselves. How big is your vision statement?
Cordially,
Harland C. Stonecipher
