In his comments, Lennox thanked everyone for their hard work in closing more than 36,000 transactions in 2017. Lennox said the following are major areas of focus in 2018: Personal Representation, Certainty, and Living Life as a Contribution. Referencing upcoming tax season, Lennox said the government does us a favor every year by sending property assessment statements and thereby prompting a conversation about home values. He encouraged everyone to continue the conversation with their clients about what their home is worth.
Adam Vasquez, President and CEO of Made with Merit, recommended focusing on the following five components to remain dynamic and connect with consumers: tell your story; be a community guide; position yourself as programmatic; expand your digital network; be account-based.
