A benefit of blogging... - 11/16/10 10:28 PM
An agent named Sonia sent me an email this afternoon:
Hi Ken, I'm with Keller Williams up in Canada. I've been around for awhile but never really got anything going, if you know what I mean! Today I have decided to get my R.E. bus. going and saw your post while looking for door knocking scripts! Thank you! Short and effective script! It certainly sound like it would work, and I am going to start using it tomorrow!!!Thanks again!

So I built a Facebook page. Now what? - 11/11/10 09:40 PM
A Facebook page left alone will act a lot like a website...
It can be found, but only if searched for.

I was running errands this afternoon.  It was a glorious fall day.  Temperature in the low 60's.  Sunny with little wind.  A great day to be out...
One of my last stops was at a friend's new business, Discount Mattress, located at 560 S Rte 59 in Naperville.
Kevin, my buddy, along with two of his friends had opened up the store only a few weeks prior.
I was curious to see how business was going...
I knew there was a lot of competition.  Kevin had told me, "There are 16 other mattress stores within a mile" with just … (2 comments)
