Unlike Jerry Maguire, My Motto Isn’t ‘Show Me The Money’
There are numerous parallels that can be made for the activities of a sports agent and a real estate agent. In the movie, Jerry Maguire, they were quite obvious:
The effort to get a client
The work to get the best deal for the client
The continued support for the client
The reward at the conclusion of the negotiation with a commission
Unlike the portrayal that was made as agents being money hungry and dollar motivated, with little care for their clients as people, a true professional works to get the best deal for their clients. As they become more involved with the clients, they will also come to warm to them and their families and the relationship becomes more of a partnership with both looking to get a successful conclusion.
We work daily for our business, and no one would deny that we do work for that check. But we also expose ourselves as the caring people that we are with our client relationships and the nature of the way we market ourselves through our blogs.
It’s been demonstrated often by posts written of the warm receptions received by fellow ActiveRain members when going in to make listing presentations and being told that they were the agent’s of choice based on their Internet exposure and presence. In other words, ‘you had us at hello’.
We are all characters living out our lives and working our jobs and the more of ourselves that we put into our work, the more productive and profitable it can become.
