Matt Lopes Promoted to Assistant Management

Congratulations to Matt Lopes for his promotion to assistant management!! 

BBS, Inc joined by several other New England offices gathered this morning to celebrate Lopes’ advancement. Tra Trombetti praised Matt for being “cool, calm, consistent and competitive,” while other attending managers expressed admiration for his easy going attitude, student mentality and unwavering persistence.

Speaking to his peers and colleagues, Matt Lopes shared his development from being “unable to say my name and Verizon in the same sentence” to being a leader both in the office and the field. “You are going to mess up, you are going to fail” he stated “but it is not about the challenges it’s about how you pick yourself up and move forward.” After a year and a half in the office, 360 days in the field, 300 days on bell and the daily ups and downs of acquiring and developing a team, Lopes possesses all the experience and characteristics that will make him an excellent assistant manager. Despite recognizing the significance of his promotion, Lopes emphasized that assistant management is only a stepping stone to his next goal: management. Before his next promotion, Matt hopes to promote one of his own team to assistant management because, as he stressed, it was only through the dedication and hard work of his crew that achieving assistant management became a reality.



In his hallmark quiet yet commanding manner, Lopes shared many of the lessons he learned along his path to becoming assistant manager. Condensed, his overarching message was clear:  “If you feel comfortable, you know you can be doing something different. I feel uncomfortable every day I come into work and this is what pushes me to learn more and improve both in the field and as a leader. Giving up is not in my nature”



Once again Matt, CONGRATULATIONS and we all wish you the best as you pursue management!!!!

Guest Presenter Jim Rothermel

Lessons From The Top...


BBS Inc. is thrilled to host Organizational Consultant Jim Rothermal!  This morning Jim met with each of the BBS Inc. leaders in small groups to offer guidance on how to advance and achieve success. Leader Ethan Hartly recapped Rothermel’s advice stating “The key to accomplishing your goals is to maintain a positive attitude through adversity.” In addition, Rothermel discussed the benefits of training each crew member to gain mastery of the systems while still allowing each person to develop his/her individual style. Teaching reps the skills to make money is the foundation upon which opportunity and advancement rests.


Following the small group discussions, Rothermel presented to the entire BBS Inc. team. Sharing his experience of moving from entry level to consultant in fifteen years, Rothermel stressed the importance of setting goals. “Start dreaming…price out your dream vacation…ignore the practical” he advised. “Figure out what you want in life and decide what you are willing to give in order to get there.” Ultimately, Rothermel asserted, one must evaluate opportunities based on numbers rather than emotions.  It is tempting to jump ship when challenges arise, but perseverance will yield payoff.
