I got a lot of questions on my previous post "How to drive leads to your website".  So in case you didn't get it...
It's okay, you don't have to think it's funny to understand.  Anyone who connects with the short video will probably visit the web site mentioned at the end.  If you noticed, once you get to YouTube, they posted 3 very short videos in a series designed to connect with those who are unhappy in a business partnership.  If you went to their site (which I also think is a riot!),  you quickly learn what they do...buy out people … (0 comments)

Faster & Harder - 02/19/07 02:30 PM

Anyone who thinks Texas is flat never ran through the center of Austin.  Last month's race was very flat...yesterday the course was full of hills.  Eating right the night before this time helped me shave one full minute from the clock, even with a more difficult course.  Official results for my second half-marathon:bib number:    H3907age:    32gender:    Mlocation:    Austin, TXoverall place:    769 out of 5133division place:    89 out of 334gender place:    554 out of 2127time:    1:49:18pace:    8:212m:    17:1010m:    1:23:26Want to see some really neat visual results?  Click Here.  Now it's time to upgrade to full marathon runs...ouch.

How to drive leads to your website - 02/15/07 06:20 PM
It's only a matter of time before more Realtors catch on to viral type videos that spread and generate leads through the web.  I did an earlier post about a team with Coldwell Banker in Baltimore doing just this type of thing, but it's the only example I've seen.  Thanks to Seth Godin for making me aware of this.
 The video is called LICK.  CLICK HERE to see it.

Call me back already! - 02/15/07 06:15 PM
Has the world become more and more unprofessional or have people just compeletly lost control of their own actions?  Maybe people are being bombarded with more messages than they can handle?  Here's an observation:73 = # of outgoing calls I made last week4 = # of calls returned.  And no folks I was not cold calling.Maybe one of the easiest ways to set youself apart from competition and show you care is to pick up the phone and reach out to someone.  If you just can't seem to get things done...consider buying this.  In two weeks it transformed me from a … (0 comments)

Tech Illiteracy - 02/11/07 06:23 PM
What is a blog?  What is RSS?  What is a podcast?  Is it acceptable to be unable to text message?  Anyone who keeps up with technology knows the frustration I'm talking about when someone you're trying to communicate with doesn't know how to text or can never seem to open that attachment.  But the bigger question is:  If your customers choose to communicate with you in ever changing and more advanced ways, is it acceptable for you not to keep up?

Keep it Real(estate) - 02/03/07 01:14 PM
Now that is a FRO!  The folks in Australia and the UK are at it again.  This is from the latest ad campaign for their Realtor.com equivalent.  In the first commercial, Wilson stands up from a couch and his hair is chopped off by a ceiling fan.  Now, he's a cult icon in those parts of the world.    Silly fun for a Saturday; See Wilson here.  Keep it real(estate), yo. … (2 comments)

3M Half Marathon - 1:50:28 - 02/02/07 04:05 PM
Here's what NOT to do the day before your first half marathon.  Take a pretty tough spin class in the morning, entertain family in the evening and have a huge plate of meatloaf!  I'm questioning my sanity even admitting in public that I ate meatloaf but there it is.  And needless to say, it was still with me as I ran.  YUCK (and painful)!  However, even with that and a starting temperature of 28 degrees, which might as well be the artic for a Texan, it was a fantastic race and left me feeling alive and accomplished.  The time, which admidately … (1 comments)
