We had some words of wisdom from our resident legal eagle ( Mr Richard Jones). He passed on some interesting examples from his 30plus years as a practising solicitor. For example, one half smart witness being questioned by a barrister, saying that he ( the barrister) is asking the wrong questions!! Also a tall tale but true in relation to a client using " Insulting Words "
On a more serious note, Nairge has asked that we all complete and leave with her a copy of a prepared 30 sec advertorial for use when we may be away. Perhaps use both sides of the supplied note card, to cover 2 x 30sec addresses that cover our individual businesses. Nairge also re-confirmed that we are allowed 12 absences per 12 mths, any longer and for protracted absences, a sabbatical approval needs to be obtained from the Executive Committee. Otherwise you may lose your spot!
We also were given a short training update on the Lead Cards and confirmation that the dollar amount from a completed lead can be placed on the reverse of a blank.
Total completed leads for F/Y 2008 $ 248000 - well done!!!!
Power Partners ! - Do you have one in the group, would you like one ? Identify a power partner that would assist you in your business and if we don't have one we will actively source a new club member for you.

15 members attending and 1 visitor.
Our speaker today was Libby.
Libby is our Graphic Artist. Most of her work comes from referrals. She showed us her portfolio put together over 17 years.
Libby sees her job as problem solving. She spent 7 years working in UK where she worked for the BBC, Oxford University Press and Sony. Back in Australia she spent 3 years with Australian Hereford Society (a whole lot of bull!!).
She has started a magazine from scratch something graphic artists dream of but rarely achieve.
All in all a great showcase of her work. Well done Libby.

Speakers 5th June 2008
Edward Singleton - Ray White Samford:
Inspiring talk " Persistence & Perseverance"
As June 30th approaches - good time to formulate & think about goals & thoughts for the year ahead. Having been in the real estate industry for 13yrs, has seen the market go a full cycle from boom to bust. Since 200 when the First Home Owners Grant was introduced there has been unprecedented growth . In this time of "correction" there is more requirement for
a/ Persistence : Character trait exhibited by winners &
b/ Perseverance : Keep on knocking even when the door is shut!
Edward included a quote Luke re a widow with both traits, and reminded us to set goals.
Peter Varcoe : ACOFE
Background on the Sub Prime Crises:
See link to presentation if provided, however;
NINJA loans .....No Income No Job or Assets;
these loans, written at low rates for a "honeymoon" period eventually struck problems when rates increased past what they could afford and they walked out of the property/loan.
Meanwhile these groups of mortgages where on sold to various entities/banks around the globe and they have all suffered huge losses......sorry we stuffed up!!!!

30 second promotional. It is important to use your full time and to pass on information as to what your business offers as sometimes we don't know some things you do and therefore miss the opportunity of a referral.
Speakers- Terry and Audrey.
Audrey warned us against putting a For Sale sign on your vehicle- it attracts a $400 fine.
The hydrogen car is on the way. Maybe just in time in light of rising fuel costs.Expect it within the next 12 months.
Servicing tip - keep an eye out to see that what the invoice says has actually been done. Not a problem at reputable service places.
Terry told us how he does property maintenance at hotels in the city. He does the job properly which can take time. Hotels don't like down time in renting out their rooms and are usually price conscious. In one instance where his price seemed cheap to us and the hotel doesn't want to pay the group thought he should sue.
Well done Terry in not just doing a cheap cover up. Keep your integrity.
Leads 18, 12 external and 6 internal. Remember that external leads are the best.
