Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Database

Pineville La Real Estate

While shuffling back to the car from the Friday night football game, I ran into a former co-worker. "Hi Doug, how's it been? I follow your posts on Facebook".

This fellow who I have not had a meaningful conversation with since 2002 follows my blog posts (which find their way to Facebook). Shame on me.  For starters this guy has a wicked sense of humor. To this day I still use some of his one-liners. Why did I let this friend slip away?

And from a greedy capitalist's perspective...Imagine how many transactions I have missed out on? Everybody knows somebody with a real estate need. The trick is being in front of them when they need it.

 Time for me to buy this fellow lunch and get the friendship back in order. Then add his contact information to my database.

Once we got into the SUV my daughter asked why I was smiling. Just doing business my dear.No wonder why the offspring think their dad is a dork. But daughters are expense, so daddies must work. Even at football games.

Doug, suggested this post. I know I've missed out on some business for this very reason. It's all about building relationships. I met a nice man who owns a car dealership in my area and he is a talker..talks about his youth, his army days and each story takes at least 10min so I've been avoiding him. Your post convinced me to pay him a visit!

I have missed out on a lot of business by not staying in contact with all the people I have had relationships with, but I find it difficult to stay in touch with everyone.  I know lots of former acquaintances of mine are not interested in a monthly real estate report, so I need something else to stay in touch with them.

Doug, I love your sense of humor, too, especially at your own cost.  And yes, I agree daughters are expensive.  Keep working even at football games.
