If ever there was a time to rise-up and light-up. This is it. I wrote this for AgentGenius. com. You can read the whole story HERE . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HelpProblem.

You're sipping tall, Iced Cinnamon Dolce Lattes. Chit-chatting. Your girlfriend shares, " I need to make a sale in the next 37 days or I have to quit the business." She confesses. I don't have a single active listing or any qualified buyers. She's dead in the water. She's broke in bank and spirit. She's drowning and frowning. She pleads for your advice, "What should I do to make a sale? Now!" What advice would you share? What do you believe is the most productive thing she can do to position herself to make the required sale?

Here's What I'd Do...

First, I give her a big hug, tell her she can make it happen if she wants too, but it won't be easy. Here's what I'd advise...

The Jessie James Solution.

There's not enough time to focus on taking a listing. Odds are, it will take too long to sell. Laser focus on attracting a qualified buyer is required. Don't worry about listings, you'll attract them naturally as well. It's time to Get Your Jessie James ON! Whoa! Not that Jessie James, this one:
Judge Roy Bean, "Why do you rob banks?" Jessie James, "Because that's where the money is."
I'd implore my friend to hold public Open Houses. 10 Open Houses in 30 days. Here's why?
  • This is the buying season and buyers browse Open Houses like banks hoard house money.
  • The looming expiration of the Homebuyer Tax Credits (FREE Money) will create qualified buyer urgency this month. Not next month. This month.
  • It's an activity that allows you to take action, make contact and attract serendipity. I'll explain what, why, when and how in Open House Tips below.
Open House is not, showing up late, planting a couple of directionals, flipping the lights on and hoping something lucky happens. It rarely does. Lady Luck mostly ignores the lazy. I'm going to suggest that if the end is near, or you want to create sexy success now, you need to take Dramatic Kick-Ass Action and amp everything. As if your career depended on it. Because it does. If it was me, instead of she, I'd hold 10 Open Houses in 30 days. Strategically selected, well planned, powerfully promoted and passionately executed. Here's the tips I'd share.

Great advice!!!  I would add that it is time to get on the phone....I was much in the same spot at the start of the year!   I uber focused myself on calling and my business is awesome!!!   I turned it away from me ...and focused on helping other people to take advantage of the awesome prices out there....it really worked...not to late to tout the tax credit incentives as well!

thnks for a great post!
