“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence
wins championships.”

- Michael Jordan

So said an individual who was commonly recognized as one of the greatest “producers” in his field. But even “MJ” recognized the importance of teamwork and collaboration. As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” The fact is, this is one of the aspects of “Social Media” that is not given enough attention. Having a community of individuals united by common interest is a powerful tool at one’s disposal. If you wandered into your local coffee shop, how many folks in there could you talk “Insurance” with? Not many, I’ll bet. Narrow that down with even further criteria, like “how many people could you talk about E&S lines of Insurance” with, and you can see that the odds are heavily stacked against you!

Some features on CompleteMarkets that allow you to do this brilliantly are Groups and Discussions. These features contain targeted dialog with peers who are united in your same interests. As is the nature of any group/team there will be varying levels of expertise there, differing viewpoints, and different levels of experience. But that is exactly what sparks creativity, inspiration, and motivation. In fact, you yourself may be able to help others there with knowledge you’ve gained in the arc of your career. They say the best way to learn is to teach. When you teach someone else, you have to first crystallize the information in your own mind, so you can share it effectively.

Another great feature about groups – often overlooked, or never even considered – is that they can be made private, as well. Why would this be useful? Imagine having your own “real estate” on the internet where any of your office personnel can log in, post comments, and collaborate in real time – all for FREE. They can do this from any Internet-capable device. And since it is a private group, no one (other than whoever the groups’ administrator allows) can see it! To build a similar feature into your own website would cost significant money and time. If utilized to its fullest potential, the value of this one feature could be astounding for your organization.
