Monkey Island, OK. Thomas & Associates Summer Sales Meeting was held July 15-17, 2009 at the rustic Woody Crest Lodge on beautiful Monkey Island, Oklahoma. According to the results of a post meeting survey, this meeting was rated as “the best meeting ever” in the history of the company. Bev Keen from The Outlook Group, Inc. gave us a step-by-step advance training program on Funeral Service Follow Up. Now we can all be more successful implementing our Family Service Follow-Up programs. Jackie Hartman, Steve Paris, and Sheryl Zuker showed true grit in their presentations and cooking abilities. David Thomas took frying fish to a new level at a delightful fish dry at the Thomas lakefront home. Sue Dehart, Connie Rhodes, and Jackie Hartman qualified with number of contracts to draw for an additional volume to be counted toward October’s Flat Screen TV Contest. Good Luck Ladies! We welcomed Thomas & Associates’ CPA, Ann Willey, with questions regarding everyone’s personal taxes. We know what we can legally take as deductions, what we can’t take, and what we need to do in the future. It was a very informative hour. Plans are underway for the always popular January 2010 sales meeting.
