During your day, on your errands, bringing your children to school, or to soccer practice after school. Do people that see you during the day, know what you do for a living? Have you told them that your business grows if they send someone they know to you who may be thinking of buying or selling a home?
Often times, we become so busy during our daily routines, that we do forget to ask. Please ASK! Don't be shy! Let everyone that you come in contact with know, that you would be very interested in helping anyone that they know who has real estate needs.
This is the time of year to stop by your former clients and say hello. Bring them a small seasonal gift. A pumpkin, a calenday for next year, or any small item that will get you to meet with them face to face. For those of you who may not know me, we call these popbys. Meaning, you stop in, say hello~how are you, give the small item and then, leave. Not more than ten minutes. That way, you are not intruding and you can hit a couple of people that you know, each day. We try to do seven to ten each week. Once you get going, it is really fun. People love the little gifts, no matter what they are. Usually, the neighbors ask for a gift, too. Of course, that's if they are outdoors and see you coming up the sidewalk. That is less likely to happen at this time of year, in New England:)
Keep in contact with these people. You'll meet new people, maybe, receive some referrals! Don't keep it a secret that you are a Realtor or a Mortgage Officer! People need you now, more than ever!
Be out wishing everyone you know, season's greetings! Holidays are a good time to be visable!
Remember to, WIN THE DAY!
It's a Good Life!

Frances, I make sure that everyone that I know and come incontact with that they know what I do. One of the worst feels is to have someone tell you .............. OH if I knew that you did mortages I would have come to you for a loan on the house that I just bought. Those are words that I don't ever want to hear.
