Inspired by Kimberly Wester's post What a Stager Really needs... Stamina, I wanted to add something else.
I chose only one big thing - just one. I joined a business/networking organization to increase my visibility and develop some lasting relationships for giving and receiving referrals.
You've heard that success is both What You Know and Who You Know - networking brings the two together. It's fun to spend time with your clients, and share a meal with them. Find out what going on in their lives, check out their FORD (family, occupation, recreation and dreams) - … (7 comments)

I recently came across another online networking site similiar to Active Rain. Zolve, actually says it's the myspace for Real Estate professionals.

Have you ever wondered about a creative way to market yourself to your neighborhood/farm area during Halloween?
How do you view other agents/brokers? Do you perceive them as competition or opportunities? How do you view others in the same profession you are? Are you willing to help someone new to the industry or do you try to keep all trade secrets to yourself? The reason I ask is … (2 comments)

Earlier today Nancy Moeller posted a blog article called Questions to start a conversation. It included a great group of questions to ask when you meet people to help you start to build rapport. I thought I would answer the ones directed to an insurance agent.
I had a great question from my last blog and as I was responding, I realized it was probably too long of a response for a return comment, so here's the blog on it.

Hello out there.
Relationship marketing is the means of making things happen. 
Our business depends upon people. All kinds of people. All levels of socio-economic strata.
A few years ago I designed a program called OllieNet. It was based on a flawed concept that a group of like-minded business people will share information freely. OllieNet was a TBN (trust-based network) that was like an ultra simple LinkedIn. It allowed a private groups to share trusted contacts. We … (0 comments)

I was curious to find out what others felt about weekly networking groups, like LeTip, or BNI, etc. At times I feel that I should start my own group, since ones I have gone to are either non-productive, or un-organized.
Hi Everyone-

Even though I speak at large venues almost every week, my ugly little secret is that I am basically a shy person.
I had a "brainstorm" moment at my local association networking breakfast as I was "pitching" my listing that had just fallen out of escrow because the buyer was too frightened to go through with the purchase of my client's home because of all of the negative media attention about the real … (5 comments)
I am sure some of you know the advantages of having a mastermind group but not everyone does. 
If you're on this site, I don't have to tell you twice that blogging and networking sites have taken off. Most recently, MySpace and Facebook seem to be the most popular.
I have seen a million and one networking groups. I don't play golf, participate in yoga, (what is up with a downward facing dog????) and am not much of a drinker so many of the after hours social groups don't have a big draw to me, however, I have found something … (0 comments)
