prospecting: Touching Your Sphere-Use Common Sense- Think Outside The Box!
- 02/01/09 06:46 AM
Most people send generic greetings for various holidays or a generic personalized news letter that really isn't personalized...a form letter with a name hand written at the top. Often times in this generic personalized newsletter..the words sending you a personal note seems to be part of the language and if you are thinking you are fooling people you are not! One thing I found is most will mail at the time when the rest of the world does the same Christmas.. Thanksgiving and the New Year...and often times...their sphere doesn't hear from them until next year..and you want them to think … (20 comments)
prospecting: Conversations With Rainers..Pinch Me Already!
- 08/31/08 06:03 AM
I am star struck by the net, that's right..who would have thought in my lifetime I would be connecting with people without leaving my chair..without spending millions. This amazes me and I never take it for granted. Often times we expect the net to work for us by placing posts or just having a website..the truth is you have to still utilize other forms of contact with picking up the phone and face to face..another words prospecting whether you are fund raising or contacting buyers and sellers.
Now when I say I am star struck by the net..its the whole … (19 comments)

When a transaction goes bad and I get involved, the trainer seems to come out in me! As a trainer I do pick apart a dead deal to see where we have gone astray. In most cases agents simply need to get back to basics to help prevent dead deals. In most cases they were never transactions to begin with.

After blowing through all my savings and spending it on senseless real estate tools I became frustrated. My biggest mistake was starting out with the wrong company, depending on floor time and most of all spending my hard earned cash on real estate products that I … (31 comments)
