Real Restate Professionals and Clients could Learn about LOYALTY! from NASCAR

By
Property Manager with Gibson Management Group, Ltd.

I recently posted a blog about LOYALTY and I think that somewhere it got misunderstood.  I'll try again.....with NASCAR as my reference. 

A recent press release announces that Best Buy will be staying with their sponsorship of the FAMED #43 Richard Petty Cup car driven by AJ Allmendinger * RPR has gone through several ownership, manufacturer and driver changes over the last few years and yet Best Buy is staying with them in 2011.

Likewise, NAPA Auto Parts stayed with Michael Waltrip through the #15 Chevrolet winner of the Daytona 500 when he drove for DEI, the #55 Dodge when he drove for Bill Davis for 1 year and now through to the #56 of Martin Truex, Jr. in a Toyota * 3 different numbers * 3 different manufacturers and they have stayed with Michael and MWR.  Yes, he gave them GREAT commercials!

Sure, I understand that LOWE'S wants to stay with a WINNER like Jimmy Johnson for a possible 6th championship; however, why would sponsors stay with teams that have not won very much and are changing manufacturers like I choose hairstyles and what shoes to wear?

LOYALTY!  To their potential, their performance and their representation of their company!

44 days to the 2011 Daytona 500!

Wallace,  Loyalty is one of those concepts that seems to be in danger in this world today.  I certainly enjoy seeing it displayed!

Wallace, I am afraid it is only we as real estate professionals who are loyal to their clients. Many of these same clients do not remain loyal to us however.

Ah, Loyalty.... how I wish this would be put to practice by many. Mike does have a point there too!

Love it, Wallace.  I know Jeff Gordon's sponsor is now the Drive to End Hunger.  After many MANY years, Dupont has decided not to be Jeff's main sponsor anymore.  I think it has much more to do with money than not wanting to be loyal.  I miss the MW commercials with NAPA ("55's your number, Michael, not the speed limit!") :)
