I woke up yesterday morning and saw Greg Robertson's post on Vendor Alley. I've been a devout follower of Greg's since Vendor Alley started. You know when you're on Vendor Alley you've hit the Big Time. (Oh, I swear that picture was my 1 attempt in 10 years to grow my hair and it will never happen again!!! )
Tons of folks reached out to me, from South Florida to Vancouver, New York to Southern California, Chicago to Dallas. There were Tweets and DMs. I received countless emails congratulating me. Honestly, I was floored by the kindness and support. Yesterday afternoon I found I was also part of Russ Bergeron's emails (if you don't receive his daily updates, get them). Wow, Vendor Alley and Russ!!!
I heard many times "you are the perfect person for this job!" and "they made a great choice." I believe in myself, my children, parents and family believe in me. My friends believe in me. Yesterday I found people I barely know believe in me.
At the end of the day I was on cloud 9. Everyone loves to hear how wonderful they are! I floated into aftercare to pick up my Compact Carrs and my little Pixie looked at me and said, “Mommy, you look horrible. No really....your hair is a mess!” She made me smile. Come back down, Princess, take off the tiara, roll up your sleeves and get to work. There’s a lot to be done, you can do this and you can do it well but it isn’t going to be all Rainbows and Butterflies. Time to pull out the power tools and get something done!
Thanks to everyone who took their personal time to offer support, it means a lot to me.

Within the masses, there's some fear and trepidation out there about RPR, some bitching and crying, and some unknowns.
ReplyDeleteBut we can say one thing for certain about RPR.
They know how to hire people.
Thanks Jay! Anything new always causes some fear. I've said this many times since November but I truly feel like RPR is something my entire career has been built on - I was at MRIS with Dale Ross and have seen the value of plugging all kinds of real estate and demographic data around the listings (remember...I am a data geek). I actually found a blog post I started about a year ago and never posted - I need to dig it out and post it...it was about getting more information about a specific area where I wanted to live. When I bought my house I didn't realize the land around my subdivision was zoned Industrial! Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnyway...thank you for the support!!! I'm excited!
Sometimes it's not such a good thing to be on Vendor Alley. : )
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is not. This time...not so bad.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kristen, RPR is a game changer if it can iterate around the hurdles in front of it. It certainly is building a dream team of talent.
ReplyDeleteCan you forwards Russ's email. Can't see where they come out from.
Regards, Duncan.
