I have been on AR for quite some time, and have sent links to some of my blogs to customers numerous times. I would usually receive an e-mail thanking me for the links, they would comment in the e-mail but they never commented on the blogs.
Imagine my surprise when I received this comment on my Catching The Sun blog:
Dear Jon
Thanks for helping us to buy our 2nd home in Daytona Beach Shores, You and your family are wonderful people. You are honest , smart and never too pushy. Also thanks for putting the sunset and sunrise pictures, you right when you explained to us that sunset is much better than sun rise, now we can understand.
Already lot of my friends are enquiring about buying property in Daytona beach, Fl
Thanks for everything
Ramesh & Bhagya
It made me feel good, which is so important. Especially because of the way how we started working with Dr. Ramesh. He had bad experience trying to 
buy a condo in Bella Vista in Daytona beach Shores. He was frustrated, and called me after he ran into my blog How To Kill The Deal...Creatively. It was a story of the failure, and it was a story of how he lost a unit he wanted to buy.
I did not know that he was the buyer on that failed deal, the Buyer that I was trying to find to help not lose the unit that he had under contract. That's why I was a bit surprised when he asked for the reference coming from a buyer like him. So, I asked my other client if Dr. Ramesh could call him (also a doctor), who just bought a condo a few months ago, and, check this, his name is also Ramesh.
Dr. Ramesh was not looking for a star guy with the most number of sales, or who was controlling listings in any of those oceanfront buildings. He was looking for an agent who would not drop the ball. He lost his unit because somebody dropped the ball. I wrote about it in $450,000-Long Story… This is a truly amazing AR story. Because of AR I was able to pick the deal where others have dropped it.
Back to Dr. Ramesh and Bhagya's comment. It was the last comment on the blog, and the world out there did not see it and share my excitement. On the other hand, if it were the first comment there, it would be more like self promotion...
It is always a fine line when you work with fine clients.
