I have recently taken some good information found right here on A.R., and put it to use!
In today's challenging market we need every tool available. I have recently gotten some very good results from my FaceBook page. My concentration has always bent towards deepening relationships both new and old via my facebook account. My "friends", for example, consist almost 75%, of people I've known for 20 years or more. I use other sites like, LinkedIn for my professional associations. From time to time, however, I insert a business related status update or industry comment. This has yielded 7 inquiry calls and 3 applications over the last 3 weeks, one of which is scheduled to close in 2 weeks. All of the activity was from old friends who I've known for 2 decades or more.
In a nutshell, over a very short period of time, I've built a small personal network that is beginning to pay dividends by rekindling old friendships via a convenient permission based interface. This is a low impact way to market myself, with the primary goal of "friends first". The trust is there, I just want to subtly remind them I'm one of the most trusted and reputable Mortgage Consultants in the area.
I just launched my FaceBook Blog to enhance my presence in the FaceBook community. Please click on it: Sean's FaceBook Blog and help to verify me as an author. Thanks in advance as I need 11 readers to verify me as the author!
The next phase is to launch a Community Page (RI Real Estate Financing, Neighborhood News and Real Estate Group), so that I can facilitate my friend's ability to network and highlight their skills within our combined networks. All things being equal, wouldn't it be great if you could support your friends by supporting their businesses? I hope to facilitate that via communities both on line and off!
Happy New Year!
PS: While my business is good and growing steadily, it is important for you to know that I am NEVER too busy to help those you refer to me: your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
