As anyone who showed up to work last week already knows, the CEO visited our Carrollton office last week and then came to our Mckinney office, which I consider our “superstar SALES office!” She sent me an email saying that we first totally need to consider how people do online business. She saw Jon shopping for sneakers on a rep site, which makes me think you aren't even aiming to hit that end-of-year bonus. She also saw Juli watching her cat on the cat cam from the cat treat cam all stalkerish, but when I told you all this in a series of emails, you all thought I was sending too many emails. Just because I told you it was fine once to "get your business done but don't leave the office unless you're with clients or a quitter,” it means that you can do any business as long as you stay in the office nonstop.

Like I always say, the business has to get done if it has to get done. That means you meet the sales goals. I hope this motivates you because I find it motivating too. “DONT LIMIT YOUR CHALLENGES. CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS” (do not challenge the limits on social media and shopping). I don't find it motivating because some people think my new policy on social media and online shopping targets them, instead of just making one clear policy. So, fine, you write it and figure it out. I understand your concerns about the need for flex time and ways to keep clients focused on our sales goals. Do you know what I mean? Like Mr. Miagi says, wax on wax off. Let's get a new policy written for online time and fun time because all our time is work time.

The social stuff like TIKTOK and all the texting and relaxing on your breaks – where’s it going to end? I'm guilty too! Everyone knows my deep feelings about Friends who golf, but limits are limits, and this is coming from the CEO and Juli, who said I couldn't just close my office door to play. I get it. There’s a window that has been made clear to me several times. I have a lot of experience with this issue that can be useful to you. Why don't we work together to write a better policy? We could answer a few questions on the road to writing up this new, better policy. Some questions could be whether social and shopping help anymore. Low-key gaming may be okay. Golf is networking, and networking is sales. What happened to clear 10-minute breaks? Could a phone lock-up work instead? I could text you for an hour with no societies and shopping or gaming goal reminders. Should we have phone breaks like our old secretary June who used to take her ridiculous smoke breaks before quitting? Should we ban using the Internet on our work computers? Should email and our screens be private, or should everyone be able to see everything? Can you use it for personal stuff like fantasy sports? We did a screen share where everyone’s desktops appeared on one big monitor in the main area. That way, we could even help tag the team on sales meetings. What if we stopped using the Internet from 1-4, especially with a ppt setting? It would be unconventional for a sales agent office, especially on weekends, since employees need the Internet to enter things into the MLS. Post listing, but then they - the SALES Agents - could focus on doing the real work of working in sales and hitting the streets and making bucks. Closing. That's what matters. Also, with the new law in TX about texting & driving.

As we know, since we saw Mick get a ticket in the parking lot, how would you close that sale anyway? Everyone needs to be extra careful about watching TIKTOK or playing WORDSWITHFRIENDS while driving, so we all avoid getting tickets while driving around clients. Very awkward. You’re not all as good as Mick. Suggestions? You’re the young people who like social, so you tell me because this isn’t my problem as golf is networking. Networking is sales like I said once and need to repeat. Get my drift. Maybe the office girl can put together all the comments. Since its Friday afternoon and many of you left because it's 6 pm, get me back all these comments by 10 am Saturday before I head to the lake on my new boat - Let's keep focused on our sales goals.

Let me know ASAP about the new policy unless you have nothing useful to add. I wasn't happy with the breakroom policy's feedback last time I sent an email to get everyone's thoughts and hopes, although the sales goals were met, so. FROM Tim McArthurtonPS: I thought this was appropriate! The sales and millennials conference I went to last week said young people like these MEEMS. LET’S STRATEGIZE OUR SOCIAL.
