Quiet Desperation........

Quiet Desperation.....to me this is when your tone, inflection, mannerism's, action's, word's and direction is all about a sale rather than about building a business or what is in the best interest of your Client.

I am sure we have all felt this at some point in our lives. Especially in today's economic issue's leading the evening news each day.  When deals for many are few and far between.

It is not easy to get past the feeling when you have a mortgage to pay, car payments to make and children to raise and care for.

We must be vigilant in that we are to always appear that we are in control of our business at all times.  That we would rather walk away from a deal (if the Client is in agreement) than give in to any and all demands that are not in our Clients favor  Negotiation is the balance that ensures a transaction a Win-Win for all parties.

I think you have to walk the walk and talk the talk. I just bought an investment property and seem to be talking about that experience to a lot of people. I'm "in the groove" now.

Hi Dan. So are absolutely right. I have been dealing primarily with buyers right now and some of these listing agents are sounding frightened and desperate to find a buyer......my heart goes out to them, but we have to keep our emotions in check.

I've always believed that if everything I do is targeted towards building a viable long-term business, then I believe the short-term things will take care of themselves. Of course, there's a lot of short-term marketing and business foundation things that I can do to help build that long term.
