Crazy Like A Fox Gets The Deal Done

Gary, very well put. But... I thought it was supposed to be that the first one that speaks loses. ??

Gary - great advice.  I bet you could think of a way to enter this photo in the nature contest...all you need is a great title..

Announcing the "Nature & Marketing" contest

Gary - This is great advice, and advice that I could learn from.  There are times that I get a little excited, and need to sit back and listen when things aren't necessarily going my buyer or sellers way.  I just need to be cunning and intelligent about things.

Hey Gary, Great advice! And I just love that photo...that fox is so cute!!

Have a great day,

Gary, there have been times when I was so quiet the other party on the phone said "Hello! are you still there??" LOL!  This is when I can say yes and ask them to explain a little more, because I'm trying to understand what it is they want -also gives you time to think it through a little better :-)

Isn't that the truth... just like Mamma always said.  You'll learn more by keeping your ears open and your mouth shut. :) 

And what a cute and smart fox it is. Great post and a darling photo. You always write the best blogs!

;)

Hi Gary

First off, I like Jesse's momma!!  Secondly, this is an adorable picture.  Thirdly, I will never win a hand of poker.  But, I have learned to shut up every now and again.  xxoo

I love the picture....not sure I even took in the whole post...just kept looking at the beautiful fox.

Too often I catch myself talking too much. You are right. Shut up and listen. Only you said it so much nicer.

Gary - You are so right. When I interview folks I let them do all the talking, I can certainly learn many secrets about a person. I then can evaluate, and believe me folks love to talk about themself. You can apply good listening habits in everything you do. Folks have absolutely talked themself out of a job. (Ceil)

How in the world do you get those great pictures?  You are amazing!  Thanks for the great advice also.

Gary, I have learned that if you I quietly most times the other party will move my way without much pushing on my part.

Gary- I always enjoy how you tell it like it is- taking it all in makes youeffective when the situations needs it the most. 

GARY..Catchy..witty and adorable..Love it..Thank you

Hi Gary... I have always maintained that knowing when to keep quiet is equally (and possibly more) important that what you say when you open your mouth!  Great reminder!

Hi Gary, Love the ears on that little guy!  Great advice - be smart like a fox.

Excellent advice Gary! You sly crazy guy!  So many agents talk to much - but then that gives us a chance to listen now, doesn't it!

Gary - I learned early in my real estate career from a client who instructed me to handle negotiations "like a fox" - this is one of the best strategies of negotiations and with my client's permission i like to use it over and over.
