Kodak Video Challenge..I am a new agent at Keller Williams Realty

Kodak Video Challenge...I am a NEW Agent!


There were few ideas in the air when we talk about the video blogging - aka VLOG. Some of them are presented in the original contest post like client testimonials, introduction, visual tour.

So, I started waiting for a closing to happen (since late December 2010, after the contest was announced - and for whatever reason, it's been delayed - now pushed to Monday). When I looked at the contest deadline, I realized that I cannot wait till 31st January to enter (at least for the points - and if I am lucky, which I am since I started blogging regularly on ActiveRain, I may get little extra...points and Kodak goodies.)

No option for this testimonial now, I have to think 'out of box' for this contest and I got an opportunity.

It's just last week - on Friday January 21st, 2011, I joined Keller Williams Realty, Andover, MA.

What better opportunity it can be than to let everyone know that now....I am a NEW Agent (with a new company, new passion, new goals, new habits, new attitude towards my business).

So, here is my short introduction for this switch to Keller Williams - on video, and testimonials from my new colleagues, Ron Carpenito and Susan Rochwarg.



I plan to send this video (or a link to this video) to my client-base (may need to 'facelift' this video perhaps - what do you think, judges?)

Thanks Kodak and ActiveRain for the incentives - I finally did my first VIDEO BLOG! (Published just in time...before 11:59PM PST on January 28,2011)

"This post is written as a submission to the ActiveRain Kodak Video Challenge contest. I have the chance to win the KODAK PLAYTOUCH Pocket Video Camera, great for realtors looking to create wide angle home tours and real estate marketing videos!"

Praful, I like it!  You did it!  I had a similar experience getting mine done for the Kodak video Challenge.  I had the idea then got snowed under with those wonderful people "unexpected clients".  Needless to say, the clients took first place in my mind so I squeaked by and got mine in just seconds before the deadline.

Wow Praful!  You did just barely get your post in on time!!!  That was a smart idea to video your announcement of a switch to Keller Williams -- very clever idea and a great plus to have your team members vouching for you as well.  Congratulations!

Thanks for stopping by - just made it. (actually, there are still 6660 seconds left...lol)

@Terkel, thanks for the first comment. I was as much nervous about posting this as I was while creating. Happy to know ActivePeeps always welcome anyone who has a desire to do something different.

@Sue (of Robin and Sue - I kind of like that!), Thanks. After this move, I am looking forward to a 'quantum' jump in my production.

@Barabara, I will now have some time to go over all the posts and comment - it took lot longer than I thought it would as Windows Movie Maker will not lip-sync some portion for whatever reason. Advantages and disadvantages of free software!

@Melanie - wanted to do something different and this was an opportunity. I'll 'massage' this video and send it to my clients, I already posted this on facebook, BTW.

Jane, that's Slum dog Millionaire's Oscar Winning Song of 2008. Was very popular - here as well as in India. 'Jai Ho' means victory to (you) - and that's my intention with this switch.
