2010 SALES RALLY HEATS UP!
The heat is on! As the summer heats up, the campaign to boost the morale of Pro-friends’ in-house agents builds up!
That was what exactly happened at the recently held sales rally at Montefaro Village,
Imus, Cavite, themed, “THE FORCE: To Breakthrough Beyond Possibilities.” In-house agents were surprised as they received awards for hitting 20M, 100M and 2000M sales target for the month of January. The giving of awards for breakthrough sales performance was in itself a breakthrough, a first in the history of Pro-friends sales rallies.
The festive event was graced by all division managers and top management officials who were in "full force" as they came garbed in Star-Wars costumes. SVP Jojie Guman as Queen Amidala, Deputy Head for Sales and Marketing Cath Galang as Princess Leia and Sales Director Joey Teotico as Han Solo joined the in-house agents in promoting a culture of excellence through a stronger sense of commitment and responsibility in reaching sales objectives.
Following the recognition was the cheer and dance competition where in-house
agents showcased their intricate dance moves as well as their head-turning Star Wars inspired costumes. Each team demonstrated camaraderie and team spirit as members cheered for their respective teammates. And with no doubt, the judges of the competition were stunned and entertained as all teams performed an all-out cheer and dance battle.
The audience roared with delight and rooted for their favorite teams. Despite the close competition, one team emerged victorious. The coveted prize was swept away by Planet Thunder composed of On the Go, Tumangday, Valiente and Sardonyx. The judges also chose the teams who wore the best costumes. Two teams were hailed best in costume - Planet Da Heads and Planet DL Jets.
Team members of Planet Thunder said that their painstaking efforts to rehearse before the competition paid off. Inspired by their victory, they are more motivated to reach their target sales.
Right after the competition, all division managers were called to recite the commitment creed, a pledge that aims to instill among the in-house agents the passion to go beyond what they are aiming for, while uplifting the morale of their network.
Executive Vice President, Gus Leonardo gamely appeared onstage as Darth Vader and shared encouraging messages that certainly reminded every in-house agent that their success is a gift from The Force above.
Despite the heat and the intense competition among teams, in-house agents were able to grasp that with humility and good character THE FORCE will definitely emanate from them, thus, allowing them to make a breakthrough.

ALOHA! ILOILO
Iloilo agents were treated to a luau Christmas party at the Parc Regency Residences. Fresh fruits and flowers adorned the tables and the poolside. The Ilonggos warmly received the Profriends “Milestones” – an audio-visual presentation that featured the 10 years of the company since its inception in 1999, especially when it highlighted the Iloilo office and projects - Parc Regency Residences and Monticello Villas – as “flood-free subdivisions.”
The top sellers were Visions & Strategies, Inc. and Team Pineda Chua, followed by SGE, IGPRC and EMTYM.
Agents were gamely dressed in Hawaiian costumes, even performing a fire dance for the feel of the popular tropic island. The male and female stars of the night were those donning the best luau costumes.
Taking home the grand prize for best group performance was VSI, for its unique fusion of Christmas and the Hawaiian theme.
Employees and agents could’ve danced all night with the dance instructors and music provided by the live band.

CHRISTMASquerade
The Christmas party for in-house sales agents at the Palacio de Maynila had a masquerade theme. The women came in their lovely gowns looking like queens and princesses, while the men looked dashing in their suits.
Everyone lined up for a chance to get their picture taken at the dressed-up photo booth that showcased a lounge chair that had a mask and theater curtains as backdrop.
The “DMs” (Division Managers) wowed the crowd with their dance number that opened the main event. The crowd went crazy with the performances of the central, east and west groups who danced and sung ala-Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna, the Beatles, Village People and Diana Ross. The East sector was awarded the best group performance.
All top sellers were awarded with trophies, checks and brand new cars. The first Hall of Fame awardee was indeed given the royal treatment – a surprise video tribute, red carpet lined by cadets with swords, escorted by the EVP, welcomed by the president of Profriends and serenaded by Rannie Raymundo.
Profriends employees gave a fitting dance medley that included a waltz with no less than the EVP, Mr. Leonardo as the phantom, the team leads’ dancing to “Cinderella” and everybody joining in “Ever, Ever After” as the finale.

BELLEFORT ESTATES GRAND LAUNCH
One sunny Saturday in November, BELLEFORT ESTATES, the 110-hectare premier development of PROFRIENDS, was launched in Molino, Bacoor, Cavite.
Attended by close to a thousand guests, the Bellefort grand open house started with a motorcade, followed by a mass and blessing of the “Dressed-Up” and “As-Delivered” model houses, the linear park, training room and sales office. Activities such as stone painting, build-your-popsicle-house and kiddy golf, showcased the linear park. A linear park is the common open space behind every home in a block that can be turned into a playground or activity area. Bellefort’s “Dressed-Up” linear park has a swing and seesaw, which the kids enjoyed. Adults had their portraits sketched for free by the gazebo and fountain areas. Mommies trooped to the Training room for the scrapbooking demo sponsored by Memory Lane.
A press conference was held over lunch and in attendance as PCFI executive panel were Ms. Cath Galang, sales & marketing deputy head, Ms. Tate Santos, area director, Ms. Jojie Guzman, senior vice president and Mr. Gus Leonardo, executive vice president.
