Favorite Quotes on Commitment
I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do
The something that I can do. ~Edward Everett Hale
Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway.~Mary Kay Ash
CARDS
-Thank You cards should never be forgotten. Be very diligent about this. Send a Thank You to the guy at the car wash who did such a wonderful job detailing it. Send a Thank You to your beautician after your new do. Send a Thank You to the lenders, EO, inspector, appraiser. Most importantly send a Thank You to your client. When you eat out, leave a Thank You with your business card. Every Thank You should include your business card.
-Birthday cards. Send them to everybody in your SOI. The first time you meet your clients, make sure you get their Birthday’s to add to your database. Of course, put your business card inside.
-Anniversary cards. Put the closing date of each client in your database and send them an anniversary card.
-Holiday cards. Make sure you get these out as well.

C’s don’t forget to check out Mariana Wagner’s post for an Alphabet for Localism http://activerain.com/blogsview/166775/An-Alphabet-of-Localism
CHANGE Maybe it’s time for a change. If it’s not working and you keep getting the same result, change what you’re doing. Use a different script, get out there and door knock, pick a different farm area.
CALLS-Keep up on your calls daily. Make it a positive. A lot of people dread the idea of calling people, but if you put a twist to it, you’ll make it more exciting. Provide the homeowner on the other end with some useful information. Try the alphabet phone system for your SOI. Start with A's on Monday and work you way through to Z in 26 working days. That way you will have contact often and they'll never forget you're in real estate.
CHECKLIST I’m a bit OCD on my files. I have a checklist for everything. You’ll never miss a beat if you just give it a try.
CHARITY This is the good stuff that you need just to keep your heart completely full. There are so many opportunities:
-Blood Drives http://www.redcross.org/
-Food Drives
-American Cancer Society http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp
-American Heart Association http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1200000
-American Diabetes Association http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp
There are so many opportunities available to help. Pick one and put your heart into it.
CALENDAR put all your appointments in your calendars. Your outlook, phone, Dayplanner. Try Google Calendar
COMMUNICATION keep in contact with your buyers, seller, lenders, title, inspectors. Return your phone calls, respond to your emails. Be at the front line. That gives you value to your clients.
CHALLENGE yourself in your personal and business life. It keeps the spark going. Take a new class, get involved with the community, run an extra mile, climb a bigger hill, whatever it may be that challenges you DO IT!
