The conference continued with a message from Jason Walter<\/a>, NLR CEO, and several presentations by different departments in the company.<\/p>\n

Ford Stokes, NLR CMO, and the NLR Creative team highlighted how it will provide NLR\u2019s 165+ agents with next-level marketing support in video production and blog creation, among others. Agents who had contributed a blog leading up to the conference also received a token of appreciation, an 8\u201d x 8\u201d canvas with the featured image and blog title on it.<\/p>\n

Ann Gaffigan, NLR CTO, followed up with an extremely informative presentation on several new back-end system features that will better serve agents with their comps sales sheets and other tasks.<\/p>\n

After lunch, Tamara Bunte, sales coach, shared how investing in oneself can lead to greater success. Her presentation gave land professionals\u00a0a closer look at her coaching process and the results it generates. A few of the agents currently working with her made a special appearance in a video<\/a> featured during her presentation.<\/p>\n

Aaron then led the first panel of the #NLRNextLevel conference featuring some of NLR\u2019s Top Producers.<\/p>\n

\"Jeremy
Jeremy Oehlert, Nick Ardis, Jason Burbage, Rick Gaul and Thomas Krajewski received questions from agents about their successful methods on listing properties.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The day wrapped up with an update on NLR\u2019s Commercial department by Nathan Fabrick, VP of corporate development, and transitioned into an uplifting session by Mike Savage, results trainer and coach, where he discussed how to develop successful behavior. Mike ended his presentation with a fun activity by getting everyone in the room to stand in a circle, join hands and see how each person\u2019s \u201celectricity\u201d affected one another. He closed with a motivating Paul \u201cBear\u201d Bryant quote.<\/p>\n

This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. Leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be a gain, not loss – good not evil. Success, not failure, in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After a day packed with valuable information, conference attendees were invited to a welcome reception where they mingled with friends and peers.<\/p>\n

Day two of the conference opened with a powerful presentation by Jason Burbage, NLR executive VP, titled \u201cDominate Life \u2013 How I found Success Through Jesus.\u201d Jason shared his inspirational story and how it has translated into his drive and passion today.<\/p>\n

After a new company chaplain was introduced by Jason Walter, a second panel led by Aaron featuring more of NLR\u2019s Top Producers was held.<\/p>\n

\"Ryan
Ryan Schroeter, Jeramy Stephens, Monroe Payne, Clint Flowers and Tommy Stroud Jr. shared\u00a0their expertise in selling properties.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With another inspirational session by Mike and Tamara discussing the top 10 skills of top income earners, the conference closed with a motivational reciting of The Husker Prayer led by Aaron, former\u00a0All-American center for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Huskers.<\/p>\n

The Husker Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Lord,
\nIn the battles we go through in life, we ask for a chance that’s fair.
\nA chance to equal all your stripes, a chance to do or dare.
\nIf we shall win, let it be by the code, with our faith and honor held high,
\nIf we shall lose, let us stand by the road and cheer the winners as they go by.
\nDay by day,
\nGetting better and better.
\nA team that can’t be beat, Wont be beat!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The First Annual NLR Conference was well attended with over 70 agents present. Overall, #NLRNextLevel was filled with great ideas and amazing teamwork.<\/p>\n
