33 Things to Do (When there's nothing to do)

It takes money to make money. We hear it everyday. But does it really? Here's a list of activities one can do to boost business without spending hardly a dollar. I liken to electives. Do not have an appointment scheduled? Perform a few of these items below to continue your growth and opportunity in your business.

  1. Plan and write your schedule for tomorrow
  2. Call a friend or client and ask for referrals
  3. visit http://www.rismedia.com/
  4. Preview new listings in your farm
  5. Preview new home models
  6. Review and role play scripts and dialogues
  7. Review local news periodicals

  9. Watch a training broadcast on RE/MAX University - ATOD
  10. Knock on the door of a FSBO
  11. Hold a strategic open house
  12. Write a thank-you note

Activity breeds success!  Or as I call it, you need to circulate and peculate!  Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the list Tim!  You provide some great ideas when there is nothing to do...gotta remember, "When you're not working, you're competitors are"

There is always to much you can do.  When things are a bit more quiet, it is a perfect time to get to all those things done that we have been putting off for one reason or another.  And you are right...marketing does not have to cost you a lot.  Great list.

Thanks Tim: After reading your list, I just realized how much I have to do, I better get moving!

Bob Mitchell:  "Activity Breeds Success":  My first business was a small used car lot in Northern Wisc.  Facing my first "Dead of Winter",  business was zero and I sat waiting for customers.  After several weeks with nothing better to do I went out to the lot, raised hoods of a car here and there, moved vehicles around and oddly customers never failed to stop in, so I would like to add, "Just do something!"

Hi Tim!

I couldn't have said it better!  Also when you are doing chores such as grocery shopping...turn it into a business event by just talking to people!   I will share this list with my colleagues! 

Thanks!
