Is there a Doctor... My Sellers have "Telephobia" - ARGHH

Social Media for Real Estate

 

I am sold... What do you think?

Someone told me today about:  "Telephobia" and they claimed that 80-90% of americans are literally afraid of calling a human being that they don't know, especially about sales.  Is this a fact?  For real?!! WHAT?!!

 

Here are some quick bullet points that I thought of:

People can get more information from a the web than from an individual person

  • A website if done right, is fluid and answers all of their questions
  • For Real Estate, A virtual Tour or picture shows a property
  • Just Google your subject and learn without someone UP-Selling to you
  • The Internet has no Voice Mail or recorded directories

 

Who would have thunk it?  "Telephobia" - Is there a Doctor in the house?

The more and more that I keep thinking of this, the more that I really need to get the word out about Social Media for Real Estate and all types of business.  In fact, maybe I should start having all of my emloyees get on track with it.

Thanks and have a great day!
