How many of you remember when you had to crank the phone to get an operator that will place your call (I don't either but I've seen it in movies)?  Or when land line phones changed from the rotary to push button numbers.  I bet there isn't many of you had a home phone that shared the phone line with the neighbors. 

Communications have come a long way in the last 40 years.  It wasn't long ago the cell phone weighed in at 20 pounds or more.  The cost of a call was huge and you needed two jobs just to afford making calls.

That is all in the past and now you can use your cell phone (that fits in your shirt pocket) to browse the web, send emails, text your family and search for a home. 

Virtual tours are now on your smart phone, you can have a Realtor site or visit a Realtor website and view homes while having dinner with your family.  How cool is that?  If you could place a bid on a home from your cell phone that would make them perfect!

There's a lot of talk in marketing about building a brand identity. It's not just the visual aspect of your logo or brochure, it's what your customer experiences emotionally.

Customer service is what is going to set you apart from the competition. Are you smiling, cheerful and read to go the extra mile? Do you promptly reply to phone messages? Do you make an effort to get to know your customers and their families or hobbies? Ask questions, be genuinely interested and listen...but most importantly retain that information, so you can ask about specific people or topics at a later date. Repeat business will happen once they know they will get the same pleasant experience each and every time.

Quality products and services also help to promote a positive brand identity. High quality = satisfied customers which results in repeat business. We don't have anything to worry about in this area because we are Real Tour Vision dealers. We already provide the highest quality virtual tours available on the market.

You - The RTV dealer is often the brand. What do you say about your virtual tour company? What words, feelings or images do you evoke in your customers? Once you have defined the image and feeling you and your business evoke, the next step is to reinforce your brand with your marketing efforts such as vehicle signage, business cards, logo and customer service strategy.

Loyalty is what happens when your customers receive quality products and virtual tour services combined with consistently excellent customer service. They will become committed and loyal to you. Loyalty is what keeps you in the front of their minds, resulting in repeat business and generating referrals.

Your brand is your competitive edge and what makes you stand out against the competition. Take the time to carefully develop it and make every effort to support it...every single day.

HISTORY:
The results of a recent survey released by the National Association of REALTORS indicated that 46% of sellers desire online listing enhancement which includes virtual tours. Internal  Logs at REALTOR.COM showed that only 10% of listings on their site actually receive an enhancement of any sort. This indicates a disconnect between consumer demand and the services most REALTORS are actually offering their consumers.

THE JUSTIFICATION:
The mere fact that a REALTOR has contacted you to request a virtual tour for a property listing indicates that they are in a minority population of REALTORS taking one of the necessary steps to satisfy consumer demand and properly market a seller’s property. This justifies your endorsement.

THE STRATEGY:
Part 1: While you are at the property, make a point to compliment the seller on their choice of REALTOR. Be sure to emphasize the fact that the virtual tour will increase their exposure and that it has been proven to aid in shorter sales cycles and higher selling prices. The fact that their REALTOR is aware of this and decided to take action is going to give the seller an advantage over comparable listings that do not have a virtual tour.

Part 2: At whatever time you deem to be appropriate, make a point to compliment the REALTOR for their decision to use virtual tours in their marketing system. Explain that you work with many REALTORS in the area and their commitment to an effective marketing system that includes virtual tours is refreshing.

BENEFITS:
Complimenting the REALTOR to the seller will reinforce the seller’s confidence in their agent and boost their own ego for having chosen a good REALTOR.

The REALTOR will appreciate hearing that you spoke highly of them when they eventually hear from the seller that you offered a compliment and this is sure to guarantee a long term relationship between you and the agent.

The compliment will reinforce the idea that virtual tours are necessary to effectively market a property in the mind of the seller. The seller will be more likely to recommend to friends who are planning to sell their homes that they make sure to list with agents who use virtual tours thereby driving business back to you.

In my years at RTV I have seen a lot of photos. I mean, A LOT of photos. Some are wonderful and amazing, some are ok, and occasionally there will be some that leave me feeling like I need to wash my eyes out with hot water.

For a long time I would take note of who the good photographers were and avoid the ones that submitted less than stellar images, and I left it at that. But then I heard Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture and changed the way I did things. It made me realize that the message I had been sending you when I didn’t give feedback was “I give up on you. I don’t think you can do it.” And that wasn’t true.

I was just afraid someone would get angry with me. I like to be liked. I like to be nice. But I also believe in you and think you can do better and want you to do better, so now I try to tell you when things don’t come out exactly how they should. Or I make Melissa tell you, lol. My hope is that I am doing you a favor and helping you grow, and I think for the most part people take it that way. But sometimes they don’t and there are angry emails and phone calls to me and about me and I have to deal with the ramifications. And that’s ok, I’m a big girl, I can deal with it.

But a month or so ago I gave some feedback to a photographer hoping that he could look into what was going wrong with his shoots and figure out how to fix it. His response was so appreciated that I asked if I could share it with you.

“Jacque,

I wanted to Thank You for this feedback. I have been wanting this since the beginning. I have no idea what I could be doing to provide a better product without the opinion of someone else.

I had a feeling that we were going to have a problem with these last pictures. I noticed that I was having some problems with my lens about 4 months ago. My shots started having those halos and streaks through them. I have been trying to edit them out and it is just not working.

FYI, I have purchased an "L" series lens for my Canon 50d, as well as a portable, softbox, flash kit to help with the lighting in the darker areas of the hotels.

I also enrolled in a short photography class to help with these issues, if in fact, it is me and not just the lens that is doing this.

As for this last shoot, I will be happy to re-shoot this location when he calls me back out this Spring, as I do not like not providing what is expected from me.

Thanks for the information and please let me know when more information comes about the conference. I will need to know ASAP so I can schedule accordingly here with my work.

Mark”

His gracious response shows that he truly understood that my feedback was meant to help him grow. He also went one step further and offered to fix any issues that we had with his initial shoot. And that speaks volumes to me. His desire to learn and grow and also to provide the best product possible will keep him working with RTV for a long time.
