Not long ago I responded to a posting about someone not answering a referral... UGH! I replied, "send me one and see how fast you get a reply,"
Fast forward. Monday I am on the AR enjoying my day off, before we went to the fair to hear JO Dee Mackinaw, and I go to check my stats. Well I see this registration sign up for referral under a blog in July. I click and I see someone had sent me a referral for an area I love to show houses. A second home buyer who wants immediate sale. Oh man, how did I not see this!!!!!
I immediately e-mail the sender and apologize for not responding. When I have gotten comments on my blogs it always show up on my e-mail and I know right away to check my blog or just click the e-mail line to read it.
Why didn't it happen with a referral. Different rule??? Do you need to check your blogg everyday in-case you might have a referral? Maybe someone in Seattle can come up with a signal that make your referral e-mail blink off and on so you know you have one, then we would know right away and reply ASAP. Anyway I was ticked off that I missed on on this. I just sent a referral to Paul Huckabee in Wilmington NC. and have had a great time with it. I am so sorry I have become one of those people. (the ones that are to busy to answer a referral)
Some days you don't have time to do it all. Don't beat yourself up over it.
