Pay the Maxment marketing fee (if any) by the 10th of each month for the previous month’s closed deals. Track referral/lead sources and closed deals from the following sources:

  • Your local group or network.
  • Your national network or group.
  • Maxment Auto Lead System(s), such as Maxment Homeowners Group (MHOG), Maxment Homeowner Subscribers (MHOS), and Maxment Top of Mind System (MTOMS).

MaxmentPro Program (Daily/Weekly/Quarterly/Yearly) Guidelines (Recommended Practices):

  • Weekly (Optional): Initiate 1-2-1 online or in-person meetings weekly with one or more members to learn more about their businesses and build deeper relationships.
  • Quarterly (Optional – once generating $100,000 in annual referral business through Maxment): Implement a business management system (e.g., the EMyth-inspired 6Q10S framework or any other similar system) to manage growth and prevent business implosion. This involves answering 6 core business questions and updating 1 of 10 core business systems quarterly using a Google Sheet or CRM software.
  • Quarterly (Optional – for real estate agents): Serve as the group admin once per quarter or 3 months per year to develop leadership skills. As admin, invite 10% of group members each quarter to serve as group moderators for the next quarter. If you cannot find enough volunteers, select 10% of group members to perform various group management tasks, such as welcoming new members and enforcing group rules.
  • Quarterly Offline Meetup (Optional – for real estate agents): Organize quarterly social gatherings and invite all group members. Expenses can be shared among members if needed.
  • Quarterly (Optional): One of your key goals should be to earn enough ($360,000–$1 million) to secure your future against AI disruption.
  • Yearly (Optional): Share your business purpose with all other members (see 6Q10S framework details). This allows other members to better understand your business and help you achieve your goals.
  • Yearly Offline Meetup (Optional – for real estate agents): Organize yearly social gatherings (e.g., Christmas, 4th of July) and invite all group members. Expenses can be shared among members if needed.

Code of Ethics (Pledge to be made quarterly):

  1. I will provide quality services at the prices quoted.
  2. I will be truthful with members and their referrals.
  3. I will build goodwill and trust among members and their referrals.
  4. I will follow up on the referrals I receive.
