It is important to us that our agents feel like that are a part of a collaborative team, and we believe the creation of an online community will provide agents with the opportunity to learn from peers, share best practices and leverage the knowledge of other successful agents. We are thrilled our innovative approach to social learning has been so well received and the Brandon Hall Group has chosen to reward our efforts a second time.”
