An article caught my eye yesterday when receiving a new issue of REALTOR Mag, and I felt led to comment. (i.e. blog) The Story was titled, "8 Ways to Make Yourself a More Likable Agent"
Heh, heh...figured it wouldn't hurt to read it, right?
I thought I'd comment on a few of them, below.
#1 Use people's names repeatedly. Someone confessed a few years ago she just calls everyone "darlin" because then that way it didn't matter if she didn't remember their names. Hmmmmm
#2 Let other people speak first. Well now this made me think of furniture store shopping where they follow you around... You know, we absolutely cannot get something we want without you...so we WILL approach you if you quit...stalking us.

#3 Mirror body language. ...Maybe not a good move if your arms are crossed or you're giving me the finger. (Just kidding, really)
#4 Shut up about my competence. Yeah, I guess you don't want to hear about my best acting trophy in Jr. High, huh??
#5 Show you have interests outside of real estate. (Do I?) Oh hey, yeah...wanna see pics of my three grand-daughters???
Seriously though, we can all use good tips to use in our communication styles, and this article was helpful and insightful. I just couldn't help but have a little fun with it. Sort of like my clients as well.
I am all businesses when the situation calls for it, but let's enjoy the process, shall we??
