In September, Christopher Robert Best (son of Kirk Best, Special Representative, District 84) was sworn in as one of Oregon’s newest attorneys by the Chief Justice of the Oregon.  The ceremony was held at Wilmette University, home of the most senior law school west of the Missouri.  Chris graduated in May from the University of Oregon College of Law in Eugene, OR.

In the ABA-ethics portion of his bar exam Christopher scored one of the highest scores ever in Oregon.  In 2005 he graduated Cum Laude from Oregon State University in Corvallis. 

The Best family says, “None of this would likely have happened without his having been granted a George S. May four-year college scholarship, which was sufficient to cover all tuition and university fees.  Thank you to all of you for the great work you do to enable this company of ours to be able to continue granting these tremendous boosters of successes.”

Field Service Seminar

Posted by admin | Company Events | Thursday 29 January 2009 9:56 am
Our GSM Field Services Team is out to a great start for the New Year. Highlighting the Company’s theme for continuous improvement, an advanced training meeting was recently held in Salt Lake City for members of one of our top producing Districts. It was a real treat for Brian Vaill and Christine Kelly to travel to Salt Lake and exchange ideas on how we can provide improved services to our clients. Some of the subject matters covered in the seminar were:

The challenges of the present economy, and how we can assist our Clients in this economy.

What value a Client receives from a Preliminary Survey, and how to communicate that effectively. Introduction of the New Brochure entitled “What do you get for $350?”. This brochure details the 5 key elements that our Clients can expect from every Survey.

Review of the many new tools being developed in the Department.

Excerpts from Charles Green “The Trusted Advisor”, and how his analogies describe best how we are able to do our survey for such a low cost to our Client.

The importance of ethical behavior, and truth in selling.

Also included in this seminar were materials from noted authors Jeffrey Gitomer and Brian Tracy who speak to their audiences about selling value, not price, and how trust based selling always wins. These selling principles are a basic ingredient in the GSM selling system.

It was a full day of wonderful exchanges of information with all who attended and we all went home better prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities that 2009 presents.
