NIE TOP GUNS

Team - I wanted to take a moment to share with you some exciting news!!

     I am excited at the opportunity to present to you the 2007 Top Gun Class!!  Given our current business environment, it is more important than ever that we continue to focus on people development and, more importantly, leadership development.

     The Top Gun Program was developed in 1996 for high-potential leaders in various disciplines in order to train them to become mentors to new hires and provide those new hires with a ‘safety net’ as they learn the Pulte culture and a proven methodology for selling, building, and servicing homes.  Over time, the Top Gun Program has continued to evolve and is truly one of the best Leadership Development Programs in the homebuilding industry.

     When Top Gun was introduced, a commitment was made by the organization that it would not be "just another training program." We knew it had the potential to revolutionize the culture of the organization if we stayed consistent in our vision, expanded it to include a variety of disciplines, and adapted it over time as necessary.  The Top Gun Program has set a new standard of excellence throughout Pulte, driving higher performance, higher energy, teamwork, empowerment, and a supporting environment for all.

      The following individuals have been identified as someone who helps set the standard of excellence in the NIE Division and have been acknowledged as top producers in their discipline:

 

Bob Paradise- Land Dustin Stites-Construction Todd Kinghorn- Construction Francine Wallace- Sales
John Bray- Sales  Michelle Munro- Sales Erick Montano- Sales Chris Bagwell- Cust Relations
 
Tom Allen- Cust Relations Steve Shields- Cust Relations Roxanne Bagwell- Admin  

Please join me in congratulating each of these individuals in this awesome accomplishment!

 


GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND!

Top Gun’s Support Doing the Right Thing!!
Cypress Pointe Community

Mr. and Mrs. Barajas, COE 1/18/2007. Both in their 90's and just moved here from El Paso, Texas. Did not have homeowner's insurance and were burglarized on Thursday night while they were out for the evening. Burglars originally tried to break in by kicking the man door handle off. The deadbolt made that entry attempt unsuccessful, so they kicked in the entire back slider. The burglars turned the homeowner’s entire belongings upside down and made off with an undisclosed amount of valuables including the homeowner's bank checkbook. She notified me on Friday morning and when I arrived she was still very upset. Her son had arrived and was asking me to contact the window company and he would pay for a new slider. We spoke about the weather being in the 30's at night and that they would have to get a slider installed ASAP. After speaking to Mark and Sean about the situation, they decided to grab one out of production to expedite the process. I showed up at the house and expressed my concern for their unfortunate situation. We let them know that we would cover the cost of the replacement slider. Our team showed up, along with CSM, to help clean up the broken glass and reinstall a new slider. I spoke to Guy Evans and Jeremy has agreed to have they door repaired as well. I am personally proud of our entire Cypress Team and trade partners for stepping up to the plate and " Doing the Right Thing " for our homeowners!! Their sons comment as we were leaving was, "I wish the new home I just bought was a Pulte Home"
Thanks everyone.

 



Top Gun’s Stand behind Community Involvement!!
BBQ at Cypress Pointe Community

Top Gun would like to thank the entire Cypress Pointe team for all their efforts with the BBQ on Saturday. It showed what TEAMWORK and Camaraderie is all about!
     A big SHOUT-OUT to the entire team, Ed, Preston, Cristina, Larry, Dan, Mark, Sean, Allie, and Francisco with CSM. A BIG thanks to our great sales team Erick, Michelle, Brian and Shig.
    The excitement from our Homeowners, their kids, future homeowners, and folks just looking at our homes was awesome.
     The jumper was full all day, the caricature line was never ending, the excitement from the raffles, all of the JD power drawings. Great food cooked by Mark, Sean and BK on the grill…Mark also plays bongos……a little messy huh Mark? I still can't see out of my sun glasses. We all had a great time sharing with our homeowners and for me, meeting them was exciting too.
     THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU all for your awesome efforts and TEAMWORK up here and your continued dedication to our homeowners and each other.
