My Secret Fishing Spot theory (Pemigewasset River Woodstock NH) /A.K.A. You might be a Realtor if you do any of the following:

*You spend 15 minutes on the phone with the wrong number, so you can look up the right number and give them directions to a good restaurant, while you have them on the line.

*You volunteer to hold keys (for out of state owners), to let in the carpet cleaner & furniture guys, and your clients are comfortable enough to call you at diner time to ask if you would check if they shut off the coffee pot.

*You've coached the pee wee boys soccer for five years, your children are girls and they are now in college.

*You buy tickets to the chamber of commerce dinners', show up late for the cocktail hour (cash bar) and have to leave before the dinner you paid for is served.

*You take calls on your only day off (at home), rush to the office for just a minute and still miss the bus when it comes at 3 O'Clock.

*You carry different watt light bulbs,a shovel, jumper cables,hammer & Nails,Glass Cleaner,paper towels, and flat fixer in your car just in case.

*You run into a customer /client an hour away from home and they ask if you are on vacation.

*You tell people you just met, where the secret fishing hole is and suggest what bait or lures to use there.

 When I was in college I worked at night in a restaurant, tired from burning the candle at both ends I asked the owner "if no you comes in after 10 can I close up"(we were open till 11). The owner said no we never close early, because  people won't come back for a second try if they find the doors locked early this time. He went on the say, he knows for sure that if you provide wonderful service your customers will tell a friend, but if you provide bad service these same customers will tell everyone they meet (even strangers). I never forgot that advice!

Make sure your customers and clients get great service, because if they don't your name will be mud.
