Have you ever talked to a client or agent over the phone, and in the end said "well I'll get to work on that right now, and email it on over when I am done, what's your email address?"
Okay so maybe not those particular words, but I am sure almost daily you ask someone for their email address. Its easier, its less time consuming, they can read it or view it when THEY have the time, and your already on the computer so why not just send it over that way (in most cases)?
But have you ever had a client or another agent say, I'm sorry I just don't "do" email. You know, they just aren't with it. They don't send, write, read or recieve emails.
Wait, what?!
I just don't understand how anyone, in the work world can go without something as simple as an email address. I think that people who don't have an email address should be told how they are not only hurting themselves, but they are hurting their potential clients, or people who work for them. Having something as small as an email address is very important in this business as I am sure most of you are aware. So how do people go without it?
Sometimes people are hard to get into contact with, their never by a fax machine, so sending an email over is just about the only way to go. What do they do in that case? Send them a letter, leave them fifteen voice mails?
What if it is late at night and you want to get something over to your client right away, but they don't have an email address, they can't meet until the following evening, they have no fax, and you can't drop it off by their work? Without having the right means to stay in contact with someone, the system that us Realtors use fails.
ANY THOUGHTS? What do you say if this happens?
