I've been wanting to post this for sometime, but last week something happened that made it more urgent for me.
Last week, I had two different past clients contact me. They contacted me usiing my same phone number and same email address.
I had switched companies back in January 08, and yes I had sent out a notice to my sphere. But, it is just noise to them until they are ready to move.
I have had the same cell phone number since 1995.
I have had the same email address since 1995, my own name. Missy@MissyCaulk.com
I don't understand and am cautioning you to get a email that you can take with you wherever you go.
I see many agents use the domain of their company Me@kw.com, Me@remax.com, me@localcompany.com.
When and if you move there goes your steady, consistent way for past clients to contact you.
I can't tell you the amount of notifications I get from agents or friends saying, "I have changed my email address."
Would these two past clients have found me, if I had not had the same number or email address? Maybe but.....maybe not.
I know many folks have names that are not easy to snag a email or domain name in their name...but pick one and stick with it.
It was a happy day when we could transfer our phone numbers to other carriers and I know most folks do.
Building a business, planning to stay in for the long haul it is critical that our past clients be able to find us. I always love to pick up the phone and hear a familiar voice on the other end, "Hi Missy, do you remember me?'
One of these I sold a condo to over 9 years ago. One I sold a home too 6 years ago.
We should make it easy for those past clients to find us.
