I'm just recovering from last week...they say the truth hurts,

 With a plan to revise my web site again in the hope of getting more people to Make My Phone Ring.

 I contacted a Fellow Acid Rain  DIVA... Suzanne Stephens for advise. I am normaly ranking around 7 on Google, but seeing prospects inquiries falling.

 First order of the day was to determine my web site traffic, how long folks  stayed on my site, returning to my web site and of course why were they not  calling or emailing me to buy or sell Real Estate.

The results came in ...my traffic was great, returning prospects were great, time spent looking at me site was good...so why aren't they contacting me like they should was my question, so tell me how to make My Phone Ring  and what can I do to make that happen again.

 The answer send me to bed with a sleepless night and questions to my wife..Jane....is it true the Old Geezer has to go..she said probably a good idea. I asked how about a total make over?, Jane said... Just do what the lady suggested.

You see the conclusion was that many of the folks coming to my web site and online are half my age, and they do not feel an attachment to my age group..the old geezer club...too many Gray Hairs for them. I thought experience was good, Yes but you need to have them call, so drop the personal 64 year old photo(it's my birthday tomorrow so I'm being honest), I think Susan was kinder and said to replace the Grey Haired Fox image.

I put up a generic photo for now.... showing a couple with a Realtor of the Front lawn of a house with a Open House sign.

I already had a email from a fellow Realtor on AR saying how much they like my New Photo...Och!

It turns out another Realtor was having the same problem, and she dropped her photo(she looked good to me) and she saw her prospect calls Double the first month or so and still climbing. It maybe misleading but it seems to be working for this Realtor, I'll let you know in a few months.

So maybe those Realtors with ten year old photos or more on their business cars know something after all.

Cheers, I love Referrals, if you want to help the Old Geezer.

Have an awesome day!
