Hello old friend! It's really good to read you (once again)

Ever since I began my career in Real Estate (almost two years ago) I've been honing my follow-up skills to be the best Realtor I can be. Unfortunately, I've been so busy "practicing" my Real Estate skills that I've neglected an important piece of my business -- ACTIVERAIN. It's not that I don't value the benefits of Active Rain, it's mostly just that I've been negligent I must confess.

So during my latest business plan meeting (with myself, that is) I proposed an "ActiveRain Stimulus Package" which thankfully passed unanimously. The package entails that I HAVE to read and comment on at least three blog posts and create at least one blog entry per week in order to rekindle my "ActiveRain friendship". I promise I'll do my best to make this Stimulus Package work! (Cross your fingers everyone.)

A little bit a day. Just like all your other prospecting. Consistency is everything.

Pete, I left AR for about a year and missed out on so much. Slow and steady wins the race. Do a litle in the Rain and don't wear yourself out. It's a great resource.

I started very slow and now I'm very active. For sure.... doing something is much better than nothing.

Pete, welcome back! I usually do my ActiveRain activities the first thing in the morning. That way I have the rest of the day to do my business. Good luck!

Pete- I'm glad to see that you still have "pull" with your planners. :-)

I hope it works very well for you... I almost gave up on blogging... that was until I started to receive some business from it.
