1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.860
Kelvin Jimenez: Anytime you try
to develop culture and want to

2
00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:05.310
develop a good team, you have to
start with the people first. I

3
00:00:05.310 --> 00:00:07.950
think a lot of times since its
sales were focused on the

4
00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:10.890
monetary monetary value of
things, but it's really just

5
00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:13.500
about the people and developing
them first, before you want to

6
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:14.460
create any great team.

7
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.400
Johny Fernandez: So we had also
a conversation regarding kind

8
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:19.920
of, you know, bringing new
people into your team, your a

9
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.010
president, you're the broker. So
kind of walk me through what was

10
00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:25.320
your takeaway in regards to
building a team so

11
00:00:26.790 --> 00:00:29.400
Kelvin Jimenez: It's not easy.
It building a team is not easy.

12
00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:32.430
And finding the right people is
all about, again, getting to

13
00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:35.940
know who those people are first.
Just letting them know what your

14
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:39.030
expectations are, as far as
values and kind of having to

15
00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:41.070
meet the people that already
been working with your group for

16
00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:43.350
some time, and see how they mesh
first, before you make a

17
00:00:43.350 --> 00:00:45.300
decision as to whether or not
you want that person on your

18
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:45.660
team.

19
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.300
Johny Fernandez: So let's have a
conversation regarding, you

20
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.570
know, actually, you know, after
the pandemic, so they kind of

21
00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:55.290
going back into the swing of
everything, and creating new

22
00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:58.380
culture from Oregon to home to
like making sure everyone's

23
00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:00.150
needs are met. Walk me through
that.

24
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:01.980
Kelvin Jimenez: Yeah, it was
about getting people

25
00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:04.950
uncomfortable again. I think
everybody got comfortable

26
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:08.190
working at home. So it's just
kind of like rebuilding

27
00:01:08.190 --> 00:01:11.340
motivation, getting people
uncomfortable, getting them back

28
00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.620
in action and letting them know
that look, you know, this

29
00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:16.770
happened, we're back and showing
them but making them believe

30
00:01:16.770 --> 00:01:19.350
that, you know, we still can get
things done. And nothing has

31
00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:21.660
changed, you know, just in a
different way, but that we can

32
00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:22.410
still get work done.

33
00:01:22.710 --> 00:01:25.380
Johny Fernandez: So for someone
watching this that isn't here in

34
00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:28.710
person, what would you say was
the biggest and the best

35
00:01:28.710 --> 00:01:31.980
takeaway conversation like we
just went into?

36
00:01:33.940 --> 00:01:37.390
Kelvin Jimenez: The key takeaway
is that, for sales, especially

37
00:01:37.390 --> 00:01:40.210
this type of business, you got
to get out, you got to go out

38
00:01:40.210 --> 00:01:42.250
there and you got to get into
the office and you got to be

39
00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:45.310
around your guys. So working
from home, it was cool, but

40
00:01:45.310 --> 00:01:47.560
there's nothing like being at
home. Being in the office with

41
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.290
the guys just helps develop
culture and that's what this was

42
00:01:50.290 --> 00:01:51.940
all about. Yup.

43
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.780
Johny Fernandez: Then for overal
Broker Fair 2021 what's been

44
00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:56.310
your experience here so far
today?

45
00:01:56.370 --> 00:01:58.170
Kelvin Jimenez: Oh, just great
people good energy. It feels

46
00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:00.840
like we never left um, it feels
like it was just last year that

47
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.830
we ran on the coach in the other
fair. So, it feels good, feels

48
00:02:04.830 --> 00:02:06.630
good. A lot of good people.
Great people.
