Will there be no paper tomorrow . . .

Yesterday, I wrote about my experience in a certification class dealing with the digital universe I work in.  I love the Internet, and I hate cold calling and knocking on doors.  So, the use of Internet to generate business is a perfect fit for me.  That isn't true of everyone, but it works for me.  Take a look at the video below and think about your digital footprint.  How big is it?

I bring this up for one very good reason.  Eighty percent of all new business that comes to my office that is not a referral, friend or family member comes directly through the Internet. What we're building today will be the payday of tomorrow.  It can be overwhelming at first, but if you take your time and learn today, you will be a force in the future.

great thought on our digital footprints Mike, looks like you are casting a broad one.

It's time we all embrace technology and make it work for us rather against us

Internet or In-Person ... both are valuable in different ways.  Regardless of which one we choose, building relationships will always be a key component to building business.

Morning Mike great video and I liked the music that went with it.  It has been so long since I've used the social media but I guess it's time to get started again.

Stay at it Mike.  80% of my new business is referrals.
