The importance of listening

Twitter is awesome, we have already talked about that in previous posts. We talked about the way I use Twitter which is sharing links and monitoring. Specifically monitoring. I am a title rep for a national title insurance company based in Phoenix, Arizona. I help my clients-real estate professionals-get found on the internet. Twitter is a great way to “get found”.

Case in point, My wife was in a a car accident 2 weeks ago. Everyone was fine but her Toyota Sequoia was banged up pretty good. We rented a 2010 Buick Enclave from Enterprise Rent A Car in Scottsdale, Arizona. 2 days ago I saw on the national news that the car was recalled because of faulty seat belts in the back seat. I have 2 children! I was surprised I received no call asking us to return the car or at least be aware of the recall so I like a good digital citizen, went to Twitter. Below is what happened, and what happened after that.

 

 

This shows the importance of monitoring Twitter for your business. Realtors should be monitoring their keywords, Name, Niche, Brand. It used to be someone unhappy could tell 100 people max about a bad experience, with the internet that could easily be 700,000. I use Hootsuite to monitor keywords as well as Google Alerts. This underscores the importance of monitoring. Enterprise was able to address the situation immediately and has proven that they do care about their customers. I will be going back to Enterprise again. Thanks Enterprise Rent A Car!

Not using Twitter in your real estate business? You are missing out on a great resource that could cost you business. If You are a Real Estate professional in the Phoenix, Metro area that would like help with social media, blogs, SEO, etc… Call me, lets meet for coffee.

That is a great example of how your reputation can get out on Twitter without you even knowing...we all like to know how we are perceived.

Monitoring allows us all to know immediately if there is something good or bad going on.  Its just as important to acknowledge both asap...

 

Gary, you ready to come over to the "darkside" yet?

Great informative post.  Social media is fantastic, but as with everything you need to be aware of what is being said about you.

I love Twitter.  I am not one of those who tweets my every move, and it is such an effective way to communicate with a lot of people at once.  Great post.
