Did you Spring Forward your business?

Every week I review our business plan and goals, I can not believe how fast time flies. It is no different that this past weekend when we had to Spring Forward the time, I thought, wow, I can not believe it is Mid March already.

This year, we have been doing a lot of offline marketing. We tweak many of our offline direct mailing, database, going through our contacts and update them. For those of you who does a lot of mailing knows this is a lot of work and time consuming. It is no excuse but this is probably why you have not seen us too much on Active Rain (bad! bad! bad!) and we also have been selling in this competitive market place.

I want to know from my fellow Active Rainers, what have you add to your business this year? Or new focus?

How is that working out? I would love to know. There just seems so much to do and we always ran out of time to do them.

SELL AWAY this week!

Eileen, it is amazing how time has flown already this year. End of the first quarter is in sight, and luckily my business plan is ahead of schedule. Hope the rest of the year continues this way! I know you & Morgan will enjoy a great 2013!

I hired a real estate coach (Tyler Webb with the Mike Ferry Organization). The focus right now is on calling (expireds, FSBOs, just listeds), an area I have neglected in the past.

Joan, you are doing so good! It is great that you are ahead of your marketing schedule. You must be a busy bee.

Doug! We love Mike Ferry, we are fans of Ferrys (Tom, his son, and Mike of course!)

JEFFREY! Offline marketing is equally important, it is always about being relevant in the direct mailing to your audiences.

Eileen,

We actually decreased the volume of our blogging over the past 9 months. And quite frankly, we haven't skipped a beat with rankings or business. Nonetheless, we are not sitting idlely. Videos begin the 2nd quarter, as well as geographical blogging and we are consulting with a social media marketing expert to glean some broader perspectives. Basically though, we are trimming some of our protocols to concentrate on those that are really profitable to the client as well as to the business... g
