The Secret To Increased Sales Activity

Gary -- I love that photo.. Yes, eye ball to eye ball is so very important... one needs to "press the flesh"~

Gary,

It is a people business afterall...thank you for reminding all of us about this.

Gary, Couldn't agree with you more..we are in the "customer service" business, I've never looked at Real Estate as selling homes but establishing relationships which you can't possibly accomplish sitting behind a desk.

Hi Gary~

Great post!  It is so easy to sit at our desks these days and just push out the emails...which most people delete without even looking at them.  Thanks for the reminder!

Gary, I LOVE this one!  The photo is great the lesson is even better.  Thanks for sharing.

Gary

That is a very compelling photo to illustrate an excellent point, one which I suspect we need to be reminded about in this day and age of social media and the Internet.

Congrats on a well deserved feature...short, sweet and to the point.

Like what Gloria said in #2 face to face & voice to voice, very true as I had most of my success through that route.

I always called it belly to belly. Difference between face to face and an email is like night and day. I delete hundreds of emails, but never delete a face to face meeting. 

Good morning Gary - you're so right. This is a people business. The more people you can talk to in a day, the more successful you'll be!

Thanks for the reminder. I agree we have to meet people in person to build rapport and sell houses.

Getting out of the office and circulating even if just running into a big box store can cause activity too. Hard work is great but a strategy works best that can be flexible and change with the real estate twists and turns.

We do need to make that close personal contact Gary!

Great photo.

Congrats on the feature!

Gary, I love your eyeball to eyeball photo and the message in your post. Where do you find your photos?

Yes, personal contact is essential and no matter how many emails or texts a person sends, they don't matter. The best client connections I've had always had a strong face-to-face element in their initial relationship.

Gary,

Great post!  You are absolute correct!  Real Estate is a very social business, and many agents are anti-social.  Wow!!!

You are right, even in our internet environment, the face-to-face is still important.

Gary - Eyeball to eyeball and belly to belly is so important, and I love the photo.

Yes!   It's still a personal business, this connecting of a seller and a buyer.  

Perfect post thank you for sharing
