Street of Dreams...if you stand there they will come

By
Real Estate Agent

Well I am still standing on my little corner in San Antonio,Tx. I still get calls from people and website traffic. So far I have only been fortunate to convert TWO of the prospects to listings. I am not discouraged though because many times I have handed out my card to people this week and they look at it then look at me and say "hey I know you, Your the guy who stands on the corner". It reminds me of when I recognize someone on a local TV commercial...your the guy who says"I really will save you money" comes to mind (sorry thats from Houston but the guy migrated here) anyhow a man rolled down his window and told me today what I was doing was working. He said he sees me on the corner regularly and sees my AGENTBOWMAN.COM Vehicle all over town. I still have high hopes that the seeds I sow today will grow into a beautiful business.

 

    On a side note to all of you who follow my blog. Bob the newspaper guy got a new bike (used) He put money down on a layaway plan and finally paid it off. He is very happy because it has variable speeds and is not as hard on him during those long bike rides to the corner every morning. Go Bob Go.

Richard - While stopped at the light I chatted with Bob for a bit.  He's always good for a chat at the light.  I'll have to congratulate him on the new bike when I see him next.  He asked me where my sign was and why I wasn't out on the corner, made me laugh.

Rich you are becoming a local Celebrity!    Good job.  Let me ask you this. 

How long do you do this.  Lets just say you have more business than you know what to do with, do you still consider standing out there?  My thought is once the seeds start growing people are going to want to see YOU out there still. 

If you could, tell Bob a mam in Dayton passes on congrats for his new ride!  Im happy for him.  Slip Bob a few buck to put your flyer inside of his papers.

Thanks for sharing your adventures, Richard.  I also enjoy hearing about Bob.  I always wonder about those guys.  I don't do this anymore (usually) but many times in the past I have just given them a dollar but not taken a paper.  At least they are really working and not just panhandling.
