I have been listening and reading material by different people over the past two months, such as Jim Rohn, Jeffrey Gittomer, Dan Kennedy etc. Today as I was working out I was thinking "What one thing can I do for my customers today?"
My thinking was triggered by reading something about giving value, if you do not give value why do you deserve an increase in income, or why do you deserve the job you are in? Many people want more money, better health care or whatever, but what value are they giving to deserve that? In our profession of real estate our commission is under pressure, but if you ask most agents why are you worth x% of my equity in my house, they cannot explain what value they are giving. Then I jumped in my mind to the fact Real estate in 2008 a book was written during the NAR conference by all these realtors contributing to the project.
So I want to address this question to you today, whether you want to apply it to buyers, sellers or past clients, your sphere or your farm what can you do today to help them today?
I am not suggesting we write a book, but maybe we can with all the ideas from around the country, and maybe we can implement others ideas and see how we can improve our value for our clients. At least I hope that I will get some ideas I can use that I have not thought of, I have got 365 days ahead of me in 2008, so go to it Active Rain, let us know what one thing you can do to improve your value to your client/customers today?
Oh, I love this idea! Must put on my thinking cap and see what I can come up with, and keep an eye on this post to see what others come up with.
And maybe make a sign for my computer that asks just that question, right in front of me every day.
