I'm looking for ideas here. There are many levels and different types of recognition and rewards for top producers...
My local MLS offers - Broker of the Year, Salesperson of the Year, Million Dollar Club, Five Million Club , Ten Million Club, 25 Million Club, Lifetime Achievement Awards, Volunteer Service Award, and Spotlight on Community Service Award.
The OAR (Ohio Assoc. of Realtors) offers - President's Club, Realtor of the Year, Distinguished Service Award, OAR Certificat of Merit Award, Excellence in Community Service Award, and a Realtor Promotion and Advertising Contest each year.
We have the NAR (National Assoc. of Realtors) that offers - Good Neighbor Awards, among others.
And then we have awards within each brokerage.
In the midst of all these awards, other than adding to the credentials and the increased recognition among the Realtor community, what do these agents receive in return for their efforts and achievements?
I commend those agents who have earned, been recognized, etc. for their accomplishments. I am in NO WAY Knocking Awards. I'm looking for ideas! What perks, if any, do you offer to agents and on what basis do they earn those perks?
Are ONLY top producing agents being rewarded or do you have a program in place that rewards everyone from a rookie agent to the average agent to the top producing ones? Do they receive the use of professionals on retainer? Do they receive a bonus check? How about 1 month without an office fee?
