Every Seller. Every Friday. No Exceptions
I stopped by Doug's blog this week and found several great blogs with advice for all business people. My two favorites were the suggestion to communicate with all of our clients Every Friday, no matter what, as delayed communications often become failed communications. And his Lessons from a Car lot, great sales wisdom from some understandably successful professionals.
Thanks Doug!!!
Every Seller. Every Friday. No Exceptions
The best ideas are the ones we boldly steal from our friends. Late in 2012 I started systematically calling on expired listings. Very quickly I noticed a common complaint with sellers. "That agent stuck the sign in the ground, then disappeared". Tales of going 4-6 weeks with ZERO communication was not uncommon.
Delayed client communication is like constipation, neither get better with time. In talking to my friend and fellow agent, David Beckham, I learned that he communicates with his sellers once a week. Faster than he could say, "you owe me lunch", I adopted his idea and made it my own.
Now my sellers get a call on Friday afternoon regardless of circumstances. Just like lead generation, this time is untouchable. And I must say my life has gotten easier. Instead of avoiding that high maintenance seller I call him/her.
They may not like the message, but my sellers appreciate the news. Give it a try this week!
