Getting Busy? Seize the Opportunity to Care for Your Clients!

This blog was actually written back in 2009 (I think) as some of our markets were showing some hints of recovering... but from what I'm hearing out there now, it's even MORE applicable today!

Getting Busy? Seize the Opportunity to Care for Your Clients in 2013!

A lot of agents I’m talking to are seeing a glimmer of hope – that is – they’re busy! The phone is ringing! The email’s jangling! Listing contracts are being signed and buyers are getting approved! Woo hoo!

I always say that when you’re busy and feeling like hot stuff, go look for more. You have momentum, you have MoJo and that’s apparent to everyone you meet. Even if you’re feeling overwhelmed, do more of whatever it is you’ve been doing to generate business, with a smile on your face and gratitude in your heart.

BUT

Don’t lose sight of the fact that since you actually have clients, this is a wonderful opportunity to knock their sox off with your service. The very very very best source of future business is your Satisfied Past Clients, so even before you run off to do “more of what you’re doing that’s working” make sure all these current clients are tickled pink with you. Stay in touch, keep that brochure box full, hold an extra open house. Return phone calls quicker than you have to. Aggressively pursue and deliver feedback.

There’s no better prospecting strategy than taking exceptional care of your current clients! If you’re busy right now, don’t miss this opportunity!

Sage advice as always, Jen.     The thing that it brings into my mind is the concept that we all need to be looking for that "moment" when it's time to bring someone in to help you.  Whether that's another agent, an admin, a social media person, or whatever might be appropriate for you.  

It's hard sometimes to know when that moment is.  One clue is when you find yourself frequently having to consciously choose between growing your base and going that extra mile to provide galaxy-class service to your existing "family."

So so so soooo TRUE~ But for many, (the true pro's) it actually gets easier to do this when you are busier!

It is difficult to think about marketing in this busy market. Having systems in place helps to keep us in front of our database.
