Washington DC, Normandy and the Kennedy Space Center.” - Brian Buffini “We had to get under Neil’s skin. He had all these amazing achievements. He was an action hero in his own way.” – David Fairhead “He was a very unique character...He was all about the technique and the skill and the adventure and the exploring of it...On top of that, he was an extraordinarily quiet reserved guy.” – Brian Buffini “It’s not all about the flag waving. Neil was a reserved person; he was somebody from a different era.” - David Fairhead “There were 400,000 people behind him to put him and Buzz on the moon, and he did not want to take credit for that achievement.” - David Fairhead “[Neil] was portrayed popularly by the press as being a recluse…He was not a recluse. He was a very busy man, and he was warm, and he was open, and yes, he was funny.” – David Fairhead  “Neil was in a shell. But if you could break that shell by talking to him about something that he was interested in, suddenly he’d be your best friend.” – David Fairhead “If you’re doing the best you can at whatever you do, then you’re doing well.” – David Fairhead “It’s about staying focused and doing the job to the best of your ability, and that’s what Neil did.” – David Fairhead “He was cool under pressure. He just did the job. He wasn’t afraid.” – Brian Buffini “[The interview with Neil] is the highlight of my career. I’ve never had anything like it, and I doubt I’ll ever have anything like it again.” – Brian Buffini “It was like sitting down on the floor at your grandfather’s house while he told you stories. People were just awed.” – Brian Buffini “The Apollo Program was set up to challenge the Russian’s dominance and to achieve a goal set by a president. And it did that…All these things lined up, and all these amazing things were achieved.” - David Fairhead “We're going to put a man on the moon. We’re going to bring him back safely to earth. And then we’re going to do it by the end of the decade. That was the most perfect goal.” – Neil Armstrong “Every night we looked up and saw the moon in front of us. We saw our goal in front of us, so that made it real clear.” – Neil Armstrong   Mentioned in this episode: “Armstrong” – Documentary “Last Man on the Moon” – Documentary    “In the Shadow of the Moon” – Documentary Brian Buffini Interviews Neil Armstrong – MasterMind 2002   Connect with Brian Buffini  http://www.brianbuffini.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini   Twitter: https://twitter.com/brianbuffini   Buffini Show Insiders: http://www.thebrianbuffinishow.com/insiders   Love what you heard?

A significant percentage of business comes from past clients, so it’s important to give them 5-star service the first time around. What little details can make all the difference in a client’s experience? How often should you check in with your clients? When a lead comes in, you have to solidify the relationship quickly. -Marc Demetriou   Three Things We Learned From This Episode Respond immediately (05:38- 06:38) Make sure you or your team are always ready to answer a client as soon as they contact you. A lag time of just 20 minutes could mean a deal goes to another mortgage professional. Solidify your relationships as soon as possible, so you don’t miss out on anything. Remember your personal touches (07:53- 08:46) A great way to give your clients 5-star service is by checking in with them every step of the way. Even as the deal is approved or as it closes, be sure to ask for feedback. Doing this ensures the client has a great memory of your service, and makes them more likely to give a glowing recommendation. Know your numbers (16:12- 17:01) It’s vital to know how many hours you work, and how much you charge for each of those. If you’re doing work that’s way below your pay grade, you shouldn’t be doing it. Once you’ve identified these activities, you’ll know what needs to be outsourced to others.   The mortgage industry offers great opportunities for repeat business, so making a good impression is always imperative. Make sure you’re dependable and easy to reach, and offer personal touches throughout the process. As a loan officer, you have the expertise clients are looking for. Make sure they know you’re the right choice.   Guest Bio-  Marc Demetriou is a branch manager at Residential Home Funding Corp. and decade-long President’s Club member.

(https://www.theh2duo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1074-x-366-podcast-template-2.png) The H2duO recap the Catalyst Mastermind Summit in their first solo show. Stephanie and Arianne, co-founders of Rogue Water (http://www.roguewatergroup.com) , their public communication consulting company, recently co-hosted Catalyst in San Antonio, TX.  Over sixty people attended the inaugural non-traditional summit. This summit literally traveled from a hotel ballroom, to a rooftop bar, to a jazz lounge and ending at a desalination plant. Catalyst (http://www.roguewatergroup.com/catalyst) is a mastermind program for water educators and communicators. The goal is to empower water educators from across the state of Texas with the ABCs of water communication–assessment, branding, content, and strategy while also inspiring them through collaboration and case studies. Together they break down some of their favorite takeaways for those who couldn’t attend and to reignite those who did. Takeaways: The vibe! From the get-go it was welcoming, energized, and exciting. The first night at the networking event gave us a strong sense of the tribal collaboration that would happen in days to come. Greg kicking off the event with some gut-punching “why? But, why?” Back to the basics. Nailing the basics: why, mission, values, is a powerful tool to move your programs, department, or yourself forward. The Hawk (aka George Hawkins) landed… and dropped some serious inspiration! “Water is the cornerstone of modern day civilization, so essentially the future of civilization rests firmly on the shoulders of water educators and communicators.” Tribal collaboration- yeah we took it locally, nationally and globally. Travis Loop (national level) broke down some do’s and don’ts of ways to message to people. Using strategy from script writing and poetry to evoke emotion from your audience. No one is a ‘social media expert’ because it changes so fast! Google Analytics is the best tool to see whos engaging with your content. Interns know the latest apps. Get inspired from what others are posting on your channels. Videos are powerful tools to tell complicated stories. Adults learn differently than kids. Megan Yoo Schneider teaches us brain-based learning and points out “death by powerpoints”. Respectfully retiring, yourself? No, your programs. Pebbles create ripples. Be a pebble. Show the impact of your education programs using water bills. Dr. Rudi gave us both quantitative and qualitative ways to show ROI.
