Timing is everything!

 Timing is everything!

Isn’t it wonderful when everything falls into place like clockwork? Does it just happen or does it happen by design?  We live in a world where we are programed for instant gratification. Yes whether we want to admit it or not we are!

Have you planned your business to operate in this mode? If not you better re-think your business plan. Consumers want answers and want them when they think of a question. They can Google anything and have an answer immediately.

One of my clients just scheduled an inspection online from an Inspector who created a website informative, professional and easy to maneuver. In a few clicks my client was able to schedule a time and the kind of inspection he desired. No waiting for the phone to ring and getting a voicemail or receptionist who would have the inspector call back. It was as easy as 1-2-3!

Time is money…timing is everything!!!

Hi Dorie,

I have this feature on my web site. Book an inspection. I get these about ten times a year. Most client's just call me. But I like the feature.

Dorie-Yes things are moving faster and faster and people want answers quickly, if you don't have a business that is set up to deliver fast results and answers your going to be left in the dust.

Dorie: The inspector sounds like one smart cookie and should get plenty of business since consumers can set everything up from the convenience of their home.

Dorie you are absolutely right when people want answers they want them right away, they don't want to wait.  If they have to wait for you to give them an answer they just move on to the next person who can.  That is the way business is today and if we can't provide the answers quickly or respond quickly then business will be very difficult to come by.

Dorie, timing is everything especially in our busy world today, and having technology to set up appointments and still continue our busy schedules is a win win and also having a savvy real estate agent like Dorie or Bob to help them.
