"It’s not just the flow of information," Shirley said, "What it has to do with is having mechanisms where you are interacting with people who are outside of the office in a meaningful way. And I’ve got to look for every opportunity to do that–ways that aren’t scripted, ways that aren’t controlled, ways where, you know, people aren’t just complimenting you or standing up when you enter into a room, ways of staying grounded."
Shirley sounds like a social media savvy real estate agent right?
She sounds like any number of experienced bloggers here on ActiveRain.
You might expect to find her blogging. She's running mobile apps on her phone like TwitterBerry. She has many friends on Facebook and Flickr.
You'll find her reaching out to new potential buyers and sellers on LinkedIn.
She's active on Yelp and participates in local gatherings through MeetUp as well.
She spends time learning, searching and exploring new ways to connect in meaningful ways.
What if I told you Shirley wasn't really in Real Estate?
What if I told you she’s not really a “Shirley” either?
And that office she’s talking about – maybe we should call it a HOME OFFICE instead...
You see, it’s actually a quote from a recent interview with our President Elect.
Yeah that’s right! To fool you I changed just two words; Shirley and Office. That’s it.
Go back and read that again.
That sure sounds like something a modern day Real Estate Agent would and should be saying.
Which leads me to ask you…
- How are you interacting with people outside the office?
- Are you doing it in a meaningful way?
- Are you looking for every opportunity?
- Are you looking for ways that are not scripted?
And if not, do you think you should?
