In our video series, Ali Reda’s Road to Sales Success, we’ve told you a little about us and a little about our new friend, Carlos – a new salesman working under the tutelage of our very own, Ali Reda. In the first few weeks, Carlos is already building a business of lifelong relationships that he’s cultivated with friends who know, love, and trust him. He’s also putting himself way out there to find new relationships. That’s what this week is all about! 

What can we do to grow our apple tree? Show up. Show up. Keep showing up. 

I invite you to watch this week’s video and be inspired to reach out to your community.

Community is all around us. It starts in your own backyard and its reach is long. Communicate with the world just by being in it. It’s really that easy. 

• Community Centers – Volunteer, play basketball, be a tutor, a big brother or sister. Just be a part of it all!

• Local Sporting Events – Help out with fundraising, pass out Gatorade, donate to uniforms and gear. Cheer them on!

• Charity Events – Haven’t found your charity yet? Your dealer has. Pick any of the many charities that your dealer is part of, and just show up! It means so much to people when you care for their cause.
• Life Events (Weddings, Baby Showers, Funerals, Graduations, etc.) – Showing up to these life events is a tribute to these people, to their meaning, their accomplishments, to their happiness, and their grief. Showing up for them here is where it really counts.
• Inside of Your Very Own Dealership – You have a community of connection at your fingertips!

Oh, right! And don’t forget about all the other places you go – your dry cleaners, gas station, your kid’s school/s, their plays, your religious community, or even where you pick up your coffee in the morning. Everywhere that you already go, be there. Make sure you’re involved in OUR community too. Follow me on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter so you don’t miss a thing!

Anything that you have a connection to, be involved! There are no limits. Become a member of anything that excites you!
