16. Connecting with People, Content & Events in Connect 2.0 12/05/2024 7PM EST

Good evening, everybody. I see people. Okay. Seven o'clock. We're doing people's I'm ready. I'm ready. Yeah. Okay. Everyone say hi. Tell us where you're from. I know we do this every time, but it's kinda nice to see, like, which time zone everybody's in. Because Jen's yep. Jen's all the way in Nevada. There you go. And I'm over here on the East Coast in South Carolina, so that's nice to see where everybody's at. I see some of my agents on here as we speak. You sure do. That's awesome. Mhmm. So as we go, I will not be able to see the chat, because I'm gonna be sharing my screen. But if you guys have questions oh, there we go. There's miss Sheila. I'm going west West Virginia girls. Please go ahead and put your questions in the chat. Jen's gonna try and help me with that as we go, and then we can definitely get to those after as well. Definitely get it taking orders. Okay. Let's see. Technology doesn't fail me. Can everyone see that screen? Perfect. Okay. So when you first log in to LPT Connect, this is your main screen. Getting thumbs up over there. We are going to start with people, I think, is where we should start. It's kind of the missing link, with our one point o. We can get to different people different ways. So we can get to everybody, and I'm gonna do this for, like, Jen McDonald. There she is. We can search that bar, to be able to find her. We can do different things as within her profile to try and connect with her. When tokens start coming out, you'll be able to use this connect button. Robert's very clear that he wants this to be purposeful, so there's only going to be we don't know what that number is yet. A certain number of tokens for each person every week, because he does not want this to be just a spam of how many friends we can get, so to speak. He wants it to be very purposeful in how you're going to connect and why you're going to connect and really nurture the relationships with the people that you want to, have involved in your circle of people. So you will be So, Patty, the the tokens are when you wanna connect with people. Right? Correct. So, like, I'm seeing some connections. I've had some badges given. I've given some badges. Those don't have anything to do with tokens. Nope. Not that I'm aware of. There might be a way to earn tokens at some point, but I don't know that that, is a thing currently. So, yes, Jen has had received two recognition awards for great job. You can see the people that have posted on her wall and know that she's not one of my connections right now because, again, we don't have tokens yet. We have I think we have the one initial. Right. And so but you can see what everybody is saying about Jen on her wall and anything that she has posted. You can come over and see, again, her recognitions. If you wanted to recognize her, you would select the award, and then it's gonna ask for details, and you would submit that. And then that would get posted to her wall. It does tell you, of course, I think we're all gonna be near what her job title is, and you're gonna be able to see those different types of things. So she has two kudos received. She gave a kudos to somebody. You can just use these left hand tabs as far as, like, what's Jen doing. What's Jen doing, if you wanted to talk to her, articles that she has posted, discussions that she's a part of, events, videos, all of her things. So if you just wanted to see, like, what Jen was about, you stay on that profile, and that gives that all to you. And you don't have to be you don't have to use a token to see the results. Have to use a token, but you can, you know, start a discussion with her. You can see her all of her things that are going on there. Then you can, again, recognize and connect. So you can do that through any of the circles. So if you wanted to go into the circles and find out, like, who's in those circles, you would be able to go to, like, AAC, click on people on the left hand side, and that's everyone that is in that circle. But let's say, hey. I wanna I I wanna see all of it. We're gonna go back to that main stage button at the top, and I wanna search all the people because I need to find somebody, let's see, in Nevada Since general. How about Nebraska? Oh, Nebraska. There you go. I was like, let's see if we can find because I know we have some people in Nevada. I don't know. Oh, because I keep using the n e. I'm not sure why it keeps what are you? N v? So it is using the initials. Yep. Okay. I was trying to spell out the whole state, so it's using the initials there. But, yeah, these are all the people that are in that current Nevada circle. It looks like there's more than one page. Jen's got quite a few agents out there. That that number keeps growing daily. So you can search by state. You can search by, hey. I only know their first name. You can search, hey. You know, I saw this MLS listing, and here's the you know, it's not the listing. It's which one they're a part of. I need someone specific, in one of those boards. So I don't know what your biggest one is, Jen. But let's say, hey. I know they're in They're all big. Okay. You know, they're you know, I need to find somebody in that Las Vegas Association to help me out. So I don't have to be part of a specific circle. I don't have to be part of a specific state, but I can come in here and find anybody. Well and I think that's that's amazing for referral purposes. Absolutely. I need a Las Vegas agent. So let's see. Las Vegas, and there you go. Or I need a new agent. Yep. I'm gonna click on Jeremy. Got a got a nice smile. Let's see what Jeremy's got going on. So it doesn't really tell me a whole lot about Jeremy. So let's see if we can find a little more info. Let's see what Emily's got going on. Yep. So he she has she just joined as well, and you can see, like, what circles that she's a part of, any discussions that she started, same as we did Jen. We go back up to that main stage. We can start all over. Again, you have several different ways to find people. You can do it from the main stage. You can do it from your specific circles, and you can use that search bar at the top for sure. What was the one So we have a few questions in the chat. Let's do it. Go for it. Want what more, like, statements? Mine bounces to the main page when I click a circle. I get sent back to the home page every time I click a circle. Yep. Not all circles are open yet, so it depends on which circle you are talking about. I know marketing is open, and because we are in different positions on the corporate side, we may be able to actually see more than you can. But if you keep seeing that problem, definitely send a ticket in. Like, again, I know some of these are not open yet. Although they are there and we can click on them, I don't know that you can actually open them. Specifically, I know the state ones are not live yet. So Dana is saying the AAC? Don't know that the AAC is live, because I know marketing is the big one right now that they are Yeah. Marketing is definitely in focus. Definitely open. So I would definitely start there and see if that works. And if it does, it just probably means that other circle has not been activated yet on the back end. So I would say, like, until those circles are open, go create connections. Right. You know? Go give achievements to to people that you've worked with and that you appreciate. You know? There's a lot more to do in here than just circles. Yep. So much like there's events. Mhmm. So calendar. Yes. Yep. So that was gonna be my next like, if you guys when we talk about events, we're gonna go back to main stage because we're gonna have a calendar here on the left hand side. This top calendar is yours. We're gonna get to that, your personal calendar. But if you go to this calendar on this home page, on this main stage page, it's gonna give you all kinds of options. Come on. And then you can see the classes this week for the circles that I've signed up for, are all in here. Sorry. These are the main stage ones, not mine. But if I go up to this calendar up here where mine is, okay, these are the ones that I have signed up for that I wanna make sure I don't miss. You can change which calendars you see by clicking on that little gear button. So you can choose okay. I wanna see everything in these circles on my calendar, to be able to choose from and see what I wanna see. So if I come down here and take off main stage, some of the you saw some of those disappear, because I wasn't actually signed up for them. But I was interested in making sure I didn't miss them. If I click it again, they'll all come back. So and you can do that with any any of your states, any of those circles. I will say if you have not, done your time zone, please make sure that you're doing your that you have set this, because Jen's in a different time zone than I am. So if we were to pull up her calendar, those times would be based off of where she's located. And there is a universal time zone in your profile. I would say skip the universal and make sure it's in your actual time zone. Yep. So you can go in and you can look at yourself, and see what everybody else is gonna see. So, like, I have my maybe. Not at mentions. Where are we at? My connections. So I have two, not because I had more tokens, but one is one that I sent, to our region five broker admin and one that was sent to me. So I do have those. And then when you have people, you know, waiting for you, then that's where those connection requests will sit. I can go into maybe. I think we got a few more people on tonight. Go into, you know, my recognition. There's my points just like Jen's, my articles, discussions, anything that I've posted as far as content. So I have a ton of stuff in my states right now. What's going on with the chat, Jen? I just keep seeing things ding. No. I just see hello and Perfect. Thanks, and the morning coffee shows up in my calendar. Yes. That. That was the last one. Yep. Perfect. So, yeah, you can always go in. Let's just say, hey. I can't go to coffee tomorrow, or I can't go to the ten o'clock. That's not gonna work for me. I need to scroll. My screen is just a little bit. And then right now, it says no. And I'm like, okay. Well, maybe I change my mind and I wanna go. So you can click on it. You can change it to going, and then it will keep that on your calendar for your personal. But, hey. Now I can't go, so I need to take that off. So if you go over there and say no, it'll reset, and now it says, oh, wait. Now you're not going. It's put a lot an actual line through it for me. But, yeah, that calendar on that main stage where you can see everything that's going on with main stage with, LPT is fantastic. What else did we have on the agenda? People? Okay. So, Barry Blake says I am new. My LPT Connect looks different. Your LPT Connect looks different. Does it So, Barry, when did you join? If you don't mind. Because we just released it this week. Does it look like this? This is your main page when you first open it. If you are missing this information at the top where this is looks different, like, with a black bar with the information on it, you will need to send a ticket to two point o, at l p t dot com, to make sure that they get your profile reset. But this is the page. It's l p t realty dot com, sorry, that everyone should see when they first come into it. Now what if I need to go back, and I need support and I need help? You can click on support and create a new ticket. You can call them right from your phone if you have it on, if you have that set up. If you need old stuff, you're like, hey. I missed that. I need to go back. You can click on one of these. If you go and click on that one point o knowledge base, it'll bring you back to your original knowledge base. Not sure how long this is gonna be active because we are trying to build our our our state circles and our corporate knowledge base on, two point o. But for now, you can definitely go back and watch those money motivationals. You can go back and get all your state specific stuff. And then when you're ready to come back, and do things here, you can just go back and click that LPT Connect logo in the left side. And then, again, back to that main stage if that's where you need to go. So your transactions can live here. You can add a transaction that your transactions can live here. And then, of course, you can, still use that transaction original transaction button. But community circles is where a lot of your, I'll say, action's gonna happen, in what you're wanting to do and the people you're wanting to connect with. So if you have not finished your profile, because you can search people by keywords, not just where they are, not just by a name, you can so, I mean, if I I'm trying to think, Jen. If you have Nevada in your profile name look. Chris is there. But these people don't have Nevada in their name. But if you click on them, somewhere in their profile, Nevada Somewhere it's gonna say Nevada. Right. Yep. Somewhere it's gonna say Nevada. So it could be anywhere. If you take that out and put in South Carolina, somewhere these people oh, look. See their first names are Carolina, so it's popping up. And then, of course, the circles and then any content that's put put in there with any of those words. So you can search people by all kinds of different things. Again, state, city. So if you guys are working specific markets, I don't know if this is gonna populate anything, but we can try. I put I just put in Greenville just to say, hey. Maybe I'm looking for someone in Greenville. There it is. Born and raised. Greenville, South Carolina. His contact information. Let's talk. So it's just one of those, like especially when it comes to referrals or you're looking for people, in certain areas. I get a lot of commercial. Hey. Who can I talk at? You know, that does commercial. And then maybe I need it to be specific. And then you just add those keywords, and it'll populate. So I think that part's pretty cool. I don't know after that. So, you know, one thing, like, I having been here Patty and I both been here pretty much, you know, last year and a half. Yep. I can say, like, what I love about two point o is really, like, more the community. You know, previously, you know, if you needed a referral like, I need a agent in, I don't know, Tennessee. You had to go to the official Facebook page. Right? Filter through all those Facebook posts, to see, like, oh, looking for an agent in Tennessee. Like, there really is, like, a sense of community here. And I think with the state pages, the state circles being rolled out, being able to create, you know, different contacts. And what and I've only tested this with other staff members, but, like, the right under right under the LPT Connect, there's messages, notifications, emails, calendars, like and those are yours. So to be able to let's just say, you know, you're in how many states do I have? Fifteen, eighteen. Yeah. Somewhere. Somewhere. So you you're in Montana, and you you wanna find out about Montana, but and you wanna bring on an agent and you know that I am really a part of onboarding in my states, you can send me a message direct, not try to search me on Google, not try to figure out my email domain. You can message me direct about something specific that you have questions on, and I love that. Yeah. So they can go to your profile right now because they're not your connection, and they can write on your wall. They can ask a question within within discussions, right, or in your activity thing. If we were connected, we would be able to use the message to message. So, again the tokens. Yes. You gotta have the tokens so we can get those connections. And I don't know that this yep. So it only pulls from my connections. So if I wanted to send Candace a message, I'm just gonna say test, and see, you know, what that looks like and then message sent. But and, of course, I know Jen will be one of my first ones I want to connect with because we do communicate quite often, trying to figure something, you know, things out with agents and whatnot. So she will be probably my next one. But it will be important for us to be able to communicate pretty regularly. So really making those connections with those people just not just in your direct of, hey. You know, we wanna use it like Facebook. Robert really does want those relationships to be, meaningful. So he is going to be doing those tokens, I think he said every week. He just didn't know, like, what those numbers were quite yet. Because I just feel like it's really important. You know, in addition to creating a network amongst other agents in our company, that being able to actually reach out to the people that you really need to talk to. You know? Absolutely. We opened California a couple weeks ago. Actually, it's been a month. And I would get calls, and I would get some text messages. And just I'm not I'm not the broker of California. I oversee Cal or oversaw California. And I would just say, out of curiosity, like, how'd you find me? I'm happy you called me. I was I'm happy to help you. I'm just curious. And it was always, oh, I heard you oversee California. I Googled you. Like, this just is gonna eliminate all of that so that you can get in touch with the people you need to get in touch with. So and then when you do get those notifications of a new message or a new post, on your profile or people looking to connect, you're gonna use you'll end up with little numbers underneath this bell. And, of course, I got my reminders for my class, a new new member of different circles, things that are happening on or excuse me, happening. So, yeah, that will always be when you come when you come back to the screen, you're like, oh, look. There's a number. I'm like, oh, I missed something. So I'm pretty big about staying on top of things. So I got a new badge or I have a new connection. Right. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. I mean, it's fun. Pop up there. Mhmm. So I think that's pretty cool. But, yeah, as far as, like, your networking piece, you're gonna have your activity stream, your community circles. I would really encourage you guys to come in and when these circles start opening up, really digging in. I believe there will be an, LPT plus. So there I think there's going to be several circles in here that are not quite yeah. Yeah. See? KvCORE, Lofty, LPT plus. So there's going to be, tons of circles. And the more information we feed the system, the more helpful it is for the other agents around you. So because what's in here now is test. Right? A lot of the information we have in here came from us, came from leadership. So the more that you guys feed it and what you wanna see and what, you know, you want to get out of it, will be fantastic. Look at my man, Tony Smith in Nevada. Give me a while. We've been on the call. Nice. Tony. Like, woo hoo. So then we can go back and we're like, oh, let's go see that. We can just type in Jen's name. There it is. So thanks for all your help and support. So and you can come in here and like it. I think that's fantastic. I'm excited for her. Definitely well deserved. And, again, like, I can type in here too and be like, oh, yeah. Well deserved if I could spell today. And voila. And then you hit the little check mark box, and it'll leave the comments. But support your fellow agents. Support those connect really foster, those connections. And I think this is going to be a great thing for everybody. I'm excited. You know, one thing I do like is that, the way it's been set up, it it does mirror the old Connect, the one point o. So it it is somewhat familiar. Right? And, you know, we may or may not, kinda sunset out those tiles. But for for now, like, changes I just feel like change is always hard. So I thought this was really smart to mirror the old Connect one point o, but then add all the additional features without, like, where do I find my transaction? How do I look at my downline? You know, how do I set up my or go to my dot loop? Right. So I love how they have mirrored the one point o, but just added all the the additional features. Yeah. So it really isn't confusing. Yeah. One point o was really about making sure that the agents, you know, could access their stuff and get paid. It was all in a company company to agents, and now we are adding that piece for it to be agent to agent. I think it's really smart. I hope you guys are liking it so far, for what you guys can, do. But, yeah, your business stuff is here. You can go back and see for the performance awards, for yourself, your all of your business the LPT marketing. Let's see. Is obviously there. You're gonna go in, and you're gonna do all of your pictures and change all of your stuff. I think it's pretty cool. There's a lot of options there when it comes to marketing, and I know they're doing a class on that as well throughout the week. So if you guys have not taken that one, they go through this whole thing of making sure all of that is set up. So I don't wanna dig on their parade when that happens, but it's it's a pretty cool class. So they're also doing, how to get paid two point o. I think I did that one with Natalie last night. So if you guys have not been into any of those, watch that calendar on main stage. They are going to be recorded or excuse me. They are being recorded. I do not know what the turnaround time is for getting those in here, but they will be available. And if you haven't done one of the morning coffees with Robert, those are pretty cool too. So lots going on in here. It's a lot of information, but I think it's going well. You know? And then this week really was almost like an introduction. So Yeah. Next week's training will be definitely more of, like, a heavy lift. It'd be a bigger Mhmm. Deeper dig into two point o connect. This first week really was like, how do I find people? How do I give someone a recommendation? How do I find a circle? So next week will definitely be more advanced. Yeah. And in the meantime, like, we're we're transcripting all of the chats, and we've got all the questions, and then we can also address those next week. So I want there's a comment about editing a post. I have not posted, so I don't know that answer. She said she tried to edit it, but wouldn't let her know. From Sierra? Mhmm. Trying to edit my post, but it it didn't save. How do I edit a post? So we we'll look into that and and get back. Like, I haven't really made any post because we just let it out. I did have some beta access last two weeks, but I think what I'll do is I will do a post, try to edit it, and then I'll get back to you on Teams. And as far as, like, bringing in your team to its own circle, I think that may be a future, like a forward thinking, but I do not think that's going to be something, right available. However No. But it's been brought up. About your connections. When you make your connections, you make those connections with your team, then that's where they will lie in your own personal circle. Any other questions? Did I miss anything? You have to get the check mark to post it. Okay. So, yes, when you go to post, there is a check mark. And then you hit post, and then if you were to edit it, just like when I was on Jen's page, there's a check mark that you have to instead of the x, you would use the check mark. So they may be right on that. But Jen will do some digging and definitely get back to you for sure. And, honey, what do we what what is our topic for tomorrow night same time? Tomorrow night same time. I think we're talking about the introduction to circles. I think we're just getting into more depth with circles tomorrow for sure. So Yay. So I hope you guys all come back tomorrow, same time. I know for East Coast people, this is it's late. It it so all the day things are done. You can concentrate on this. It works. I like it. I'll be back to watch the ten. I think it's Shay. Shay's doing the ten. I just don't know who's doing it with him. So that'll be good. And if you guys see anything, please feel free to reach out to any of us. We're here to help. And Use your token to make me connect. Use your token. Use your token. I think it'll be great. I hear look at this. Notifications to my tone. Make me your connect. You can change your notification settings on your preferences. Let's see if I can show you that real quick. When you are in your I'm putting my phone number in here, so no token. When you go to your own profile, you can oh, there it was, and I skipped right past it. Let's go back. There are your notifications. I wonder if that's nope. That's just people from mine. So you should be able to edit your profile, and your notifications are somewhere. I know I have done it, because Preferences. You see it? Sys no. It's in system, like, preferences. Ah, there it is. Okay. So I'm gonna look. So do not send me notifications or send me email notifications. So if you do this, it will send you email notifications. I did turn my email notifications off when we first launched because it was clogging up my my other email that I needed to pay attention to. So but you can definitely get in and turn those off. As far as pushing to a phone number, I don't know that. I don't think that it does yet. We haven't gotten that far with it. So yeah. You know what? What I would say probably play as a To Jen, no tokens needed. Look at your comments. Here's my personal cell phone. No tokens needed. Right. There there's nothing that you can do in Connect two point o that you're gonna mess up. No. Okay? So click every link. Go add some friends. Go give some recognition. Whatever you wanna do, there's nothing you could do that is gonna change anything. And, you know, there's always something, like, we're finding out. You know, a lot of people didn't get access until, what, last week? We were at best. So, like, as we're you know, we go in, I look at things, I put links. When now when I was in beta, I was worried about making posts and and add she took circles and adding content. But in this version, there is nothing you can do that is basically gonna mess anything up. So go have fun because there there is so much that really even Patty and I may not know about. Right. Yeah. So agree? I no. I one hundred percent agree. I think there's tons behind the scenes that we haven't seen. So someone did ask about, hey. I'm trying to, you know, connect with Jen. I don't have any tokens. We're, I believe Robert said tokens are gonna start going out tomorrow or Monday. And then we had another question about being recognized. You can find that person, and then you can click this little recognize, pick which what award, and then it's gonna ask for details, and it'll show up on their wall. So you guys can definitely do those. Okay. Okay. So, Marie had a question. How do you send it back to someone? Yep. So that was the recognize. Okay. And then, realtor, Carla, I tried to send you a request, but it says I have no more tokens. Yep. So it goes, hopefully, we'll go out tomorrow. A realtor, Carla. Yeah. There's there's my phone number. No tokens needed. Done. Done. I noticed there's no place to upload an image and post. Will that be available? I don't know that. Let's see. Activity stream. If I wanted to post we have emojis. We have ats. I'm not a hashtag person, so that doesn't help me. So, no, not at the moment. There is not. But, again, it may be coming, and we just don't know. But currently, no. There's no way to post photos. But and as we continue to roll this out, like, obviously, there's going to be many, many updates, many improvements, hopefully, many more tokens. Right. So Monique is asking how do we find our tokens. I don't know yet. I'll be honest. I don't know yet. I don't know where to find them. Like, when we have them, I don't know where they're at yet. I think There's no way to actually find them. You No. Go request someone, you know, as a connection, and then you can they'll accept your request. And then when you go to request someone else, then you'll know you're out of tokens. You'll know you're out of tokens. But I think it's coming. Oh, look. See, someone's telling us something new. They're saying to tap on your profile and that should be there. I swear I have done that a million times, and I have never seen it. Well, look at that. My goodness. Oh, look. Oh, my goodness. What? She's got ten tokens, balance at the top right. I mean What are you talking about? We learned something every day. Look in the chat. My profile is has ten profiles. That shows tokens. The balance is the top right. Okay. So it's just me that doesn't have token. It's the best day ever. Thank you. Like, really, this is why we do it. Very cool. Yeah. I like it. More than us. For sure. Okay. Yeah. Hold on. Ray says they are in your blue profile link to the left of the page. Oh, I am digging this. There it is. Tokens remaining. Zero. Maybe because we're staffs. We don't get we don't have as many tokens. That's okay. That's okay. That's okay. Right. I mean, I have people. Yeah. Do not waste your time. Don't or tokens on us. Go make use your connections. You you get your connections with the tokens you have. Don't waste them on us. Yeah. I don't know. I think that's awesome. Everyone everyone, I think, starts with ten. Cool. David Martin has ten as well, I feel like. That's awesome. Don't waste time. On the q and a phone number in the chat again. I know. Right? I'm like, let me just put my phone number on there. On the q and a, I don't know if notifications are gonna push through through your phone as far as, like, a phone number, but you will get the emails if you have your notifications set up in your profile. I'm doing that again. I don't want anyone wasting theirs. Okay. That's Seven seven five five four four one three two eight. There you go. Boom. Alright. This will be fine. I think we're over. So Yes. We are. Yep. So we're gonna run, but you guys know how to reach out. Now you can find us. No tokens needed. And if you guys wanna come back, see you tomorrow night. Brian Lino, my favorite agent in Nevada. Bye, Sheila. Bye, guys. Bye, Jen. Bye, guys. Thank you. Bye, buddy.
