If there is one thing everyone can use a refresher course on, it's business etiquette. Often times etiquette mistakes are not intentional, but can be perceived as rude. Do you tend to interrupt others? Or forget to introduce people? Does your phone ring during meetings? Don't be that person! Perform at the top of your game in every level of business and learn "Today's Business Etiquette". We welcome Cindy Brown from Hello West Michigan to update and refresh us on this important topic.
Members joined us April 19th for a classic spring mixer with WCR. Whether you are a new member, veteran, or just interested in finding out more about WCR, everyone was invited.

New WCR members came to our new member orientation preceding the mixer. Members of the board explained the ins and outs of the WCR organization. We covered everything from events to education to committees and volunteer opportunities. Thanks to everyone who attended!
Are you doing every thing you can for your seller clients? Sharpen your selling skills to win those listings!

Give your sellers the best advice and it will ensure the highest sales price. Let's get out there and show everyone that WCR members raise the bar!
WCR teamed up with the Michigan Mortgage Lenders Association (MMLA) for a special event. It's February and love in the air. Members came and met professionals that they will LOVE to work with! This was a fun networking event that mimicked speed dating. People asked questions to get to know each other before the timer was up. After the timer sounded, we moved onto the next person. Whether you are a Realtor, lender, title person, inspector, or stager, everyone was welcome. This game guaranteed you will make a handful of connections and hopefully "Meet Your Match". Your perfect business match!
