Have you noticed lately that your local agents are dropping like flies?
The other day I stopped in at one of Sam Walton's Super Stores and there in the media isle stood one of my former agents. We will call her X-merelda. Now, X-merelda was truly a very conciencious Agent when she was selling homes for our company. She was formidable, trustworthy, hardworking, honest, and her follow-up was darned good.
She stammered a bit when I hugged her. "I just wasn't getting enough leads, she said. We simply needed the money so here I am!"
"HUH", I said.
We said our good-byes and that was that.
There is actually a point to this story. The point is that we can all give up when the going gets rough or we can advertise! That is basically our option these days. Advertise or wilt into the garden of dried up flowers.
Our reputations, as flowers do, need to be nurtured, watered, pruned, and loved. At times we have to cut the stems back and work like mad to grow a new "start". Working like mad, staying on top of Social Media, allowing our presence to be known is eXactly what it takes to get ahead these days.
I plan to take my own advice and not drop like a fly! My mantra now is to learn all I can to eXercise Social Media, and with the help of Jonathan Usher, Social Media Guru, I am going to make that happen.
Have a wonderful evening and get back to work.
