Scarlet Management Group Learns Leadership Skills in Miami

Our Top Performer Retreat that took place in South Beach, Miami over the past weekend was a fantastic experience all around. It was a chance for our top reps as well as administrators and Directors to put their toes in the sand and enjoy the great food and atmosphere that Miami has to offer and relax on an all-expenses paid vacation. However this retreat also acted as a refresher for our top performers, giving them the chance to fine-tune their leadership skills. They had the chance to listen to keynote speaker Carlos Linares at the Awards Ceremony dinner on Friday night where he spoke about transformational leadership and personal development.

Carlos Linares is the CEO of M.I.T. consulting group and a founding member of The President’s Advisory council in the John Maxwell Company. He received his MBA in business management at the University of Miami and started his Direct Sales career in 1998. By 2000 he was already opening his very own corporation and throughout the following years he gained a reputation for developing leaders. He has also been extremely successful while running his own company, never earning less than $250k a year and peaking at 4.6 million a year. Linares has also been personally mentored by John C. Maxwell, who is a world renowned leadership expert and coach. As a direct result of his partnership with Maxwell, Linares became a founding member of the President’s Advisory council in the John Maxwell Company and is now a certified coach teacher and speaker.

At our awards ceremony in Miami Linares’ speech focused on transformational leadership, and he discussed the steps to becoming the best leader you can be. Some of the best advice that he relayed to us was that to become a leader you first need to lead yourself, and that any leader needs to constantly be specializing their knowledge so that they can better pass their knowledge on to others. It was an incredibly informational and inspirational speech and we are so thankful that we had the chance to meet Carlos Linares and soak up some of his knowledge while we were in Miami!

Scarlet Management Group Attends Top Performer Retreat

This past weekend a select few of our sales representatives, along with our Director Rob and Assistant Director Travis, flew out to South Beach Miami in Florida to attend our highly coveted Top Performer Retreat. It was an incredibly exciting weekend filled with relaxing poolside, beach parties and dinner at some of the top destinations in Miami. To qualify for this trip reps had to hit a standard number of sales for 8 out of the 12 weeks that the contest ran.

Last year’s Top Rep Retreat took place in Chicago, Illinois and while it was definitely a weekend to remember we were determined to make this year’s retreat even bigger and better! The retreat started for Rob on Thursday when he flew to Miami and attended a Director’s refresher followed by dinner at BLT Steak and relaxing poolside at the Shore Club Hotel. On Friday Travis, Colleen and Brittany arrived in Miami where they attended a Meet and Greet Mixer in the Shore Club’s Penthouse with reps and Directors from our other locations across Ohio and Michigan. After the mixer they were treated to dinner and a recognition ceremony, where keynote speaker Carlos Linares spoke about leadership and personal development. This was followed by an after party in the penthouse suite.

Saturday at the Top Rep Retreat was a day for fun in the sun and relaxing on the sandy Miami beach behind the Shore Club Hotel. There were umbrellas available to lounge underneath as well as jet skis, banana boats and volleyball nets available for our use. This was followed by dinner at Baoli in Miami, which is one of the hottest restaurants that transforms into a night club when the sun goes down.

Sunday afternoon before departing we attended the “Shore Thing” Sunday Pool Party at the hotel, which is one of the hottest South Beach pool parties and is rated number 1 on the Thrillist rankings best pool parties in Miami. After such an exciting weekend it was hard to leave Miami’s sunshine and sand behind, but everyone who attended came back refreshed and excited to see what the next year brings!
