Don't Be A Bar of Soap - Get Liquified

Real Estate Agent with DFH Real Estate, Victoria, BC 800-668-2272

It was just last week that I was in one of our local drug stores looking for bathroom stuff... you know, the old stand bys like shampoo, soap, q-tips etc.... and I couldn't find a large selection of bar soap...hmmm...what's going on? There were lots and lots of liquid soaps of all colors by many companies - but hardly any bar soap!

Consumer's tastes are changing and changing to liquid soap. And I would imagine that if you are a soap company and don't have liquid soap, you are gonna be out of luck!

It's the same for us in the real estate business: we have to change and keep up with the times: social media, web sites, blogging, etc. etc. And if we don't.....

So don't be a bar of soap - get liquified!

So true.  I am constantly trying to keep up with the changing times.  Finding a good balance is the hard part!

Bruce, What a wonderful analogy!  I preach this on a daily basis to my agents.  Change or get out of the way :)

I would love a drink, thank you very much. (That's what you mean by liquified, right?)

My soapy friend, I recommend you read a great book "Who moved my cheese", it basically delivers a similar message, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Brian, Pamela, Elizabeth: thanks, I had fun with this...although I started with internet in 1993, I'm still feeling I've got so much catching up to do...

ILM - sorry I don't know your name, but yes indeed get yourself a drink: it's the Holidays!

Henry - thanks for the tip...I'll pick up the book.

 

Happy Holidays!
