Yesterday was a long day, but an interesting one. As I had mentioned before our Agency got together with agencies from Nashville and Clarksville at a Summit at a State Park in the Area. There were about One hundred and forty something people there.
They grouped us at Table by what we did with the company. So we could talk and brainstorm on how other agencies did their jobs, and how they handled customer flow and things like that. It was really very interesting. It was surprising to our folks and the other people how we do basically the same things, but how differently we go about it. Some of the testing we have and do for clients, they didn’t do….and some of the ways they do things surprised us. But I think everyone got a lot out of it.
The Park was beautiful…as most State Parks are. Set deep in the woods with lots of wildlife running around. But there were no signs posted as to where the building we were supposed to be in was. So that was an adventure…some of the staff had put balloons out on the trees but the Park Rangers took them down…LOL
Lunch was interesting…the bread was frozen, as was the lettuce, and tomatoes. The Chicken salad was good and of course the ice tea..*grins*
The speaker we had in the afternoon talking about work ethics between the generations. How work ethics have changed over the years, and the differences that are faced with each generation. She talked about how Baby Boomers look at work differently from Generation X and Y’rs.
We all made some really good contacts, and found folks that can help our clients in new ways. It was a good day…but a long one. I think I crashed before 8:00 o’clock last night. LOL
