As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Thanksgiving is a reminder of my favorite WKRP in Cincinnati episode called "Turkeys Away." Station manager, Arthur Carlson thought dropping 20 live turkeys out of a helicopter would become radio's greatest Thanksgiving promotion. Instead his plan backfired.
Mr. Carlson didn't realize that the turkeys couldn't fly. Therefore, his holiday promotion quickly to turned to disaster as large turkeys splatted to the earth wreaking havoc in downtown Cincinnati. Folks knew who to blame too, a banner trailing behind the helicopter read, "Happy Thanksgiving from WKRP."
Do you promote turkeys that can't fly? I see a lot of overpriced turkeys on the market right now. Houses that are clearly and ridiculously overpriced. Is a listing, just to have a listing, worth your reputation? After all, folks know who to blame - that's your sign in the front yard.
Perhaps you can steal the famous WKRP line, "as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
If you're looking for a Realtor who accurately prices properties and refuses to overprice them - let's talk turkey.
