email: Say more than "Gobble, Gobble." - 11/15/17 11:43 AM
Howdy ActiveRainers,
FYI: Thanksgiving is next Thursday, November 23rd.
From getting as much office work done as possible beforehand to buying everything on your checklist for the big day - I realize you're probably incredibly busy.
Feel free to literally, copy, paste (edit at your discretion), and send the message below to folks in advance to save some time.  ;-)

Email Subject Line Option #1: Have a quick sec before Thanksgiving? This (and you) really matter to me…
Email Subject Line Option #2: Your generosity is enough to be thankful for this year. 
Email Subject Line Option #3: Your home is in good (and thankful) hands.

Howdy ActiveRainers,
Halloween is a couple weeks away.

email: This Real Estate Agent Knows Best (Re: Father's Day). - 06/14/17 01:13 PM
Howdy ActiveRainers,
Tim here - how's your summer going?
Heads up: Father's Day is this Sunday the 18th.

Given the fact that parent-child dynamics vary from person to person, I tried to be as inclusive as possible when drafting the greeting below. Let me know what you think - and feel free to use the content in an email marketing campaign (it's never too early to schedule one - you can literally copy, paste, fill in the blanks and send it).

While you're at it, remind folks that father YOU know best when it comes to meeting their ALL of their real estate needs.

email: There are 5 months until 2017, so let's get back to the basics. - 07/26/16 04:14 AM
We live in a digital age where information surrounds us.
The Internet has become our expert advice and where we go to find answers.
But...
In our digital age, human interaction suffers.
You may have experienced the sad sight of a family at a restaurant, all eyes glued to their phones or tablets, or the unfortunate, common occurrence of kids outside on a beautiful summer day, heads down, staring at their smartphones.
Let's connect with people organically and genuinely. This is a people business. Or put more of yourself in your Facebook posts and your emails. Connect with people directly. Try texting. Be yourself. Experiment. Be the … (4 comments)

email: Hosting an Open House this weekend? Keep in mind this mantra - 05/20/16 04:20 AM
 
The neighbors that you meet are curious for a couple of reasons:
1) They don't have a real estate agent providing them with neighborhood information to keep them informed.
2) Like many, their agent has left the business because they weren't able to succeed.
 
Why do we say this? 
-Every Email Counts.
-Every Call Counts.
-Every Conversation Counts.
Tomorrow you may meet someone that is considering selling in the future.
Tomorrow your database will get a few new names.
Tomorrow, engage in conversations that matter and ask questions that last. 
Let this be your mantra: 
Tomorrow you will forge new relationships and meet new people that will see how driven, … (3 comments)

Mother's Day is just a few days away.
Have you set up your Mother's Day email campaigns yet? 
(Keep reading if you need Mother's Day email texts!)
Have you thought about calling your contacts and beginning the conversation with, "Happy Mother's Day!" or "What are your plans for Mother's Day?" 
You can even weave in a reminder to people for them to not forget to pick up that important Mother's day gift or bouquet of flowers.  
Remember to update your social media posts, as well. 
Ask questions, post something funny, or encourage people to share 
their favorite photos of mom or memories of mothers at home.

email: Think of it this way... - 02/10/16 03:45 AM
There is a month and a half left until spring.    Set aside 15 minutes to give out your business card.
 Here is one that you can do for 15 minutes two, three, or four times a week:
Pass out a few business cards in an area you want to sell homes.
Make sure your website's domain name is printed on them.
It can also be at an open house.  It could be someone you simply cross paths with today. Perhaps now that the weather is better, try going door-to-door. The farmer's market, your local coffee shop, a community festival...the list of places to simply say "Hello," is endless.
This is your chance to engage in face-to-face encounters that put … (5 comments)

The real estate springtime rush is here- make sure your pipeline is fully nourished for spring.
The average person knows 3 real estate agents.  It's time to eliminate the other 2 real estate agents that are going after the same business you are going for this spring.
You have days to let your past clients and leads know that you are their agent. To remind them of your website. Your name. Your exceptional, warm service. You have a few days to become top-of-mind before the busy season.  Cut in line and take the business that you deserve.

It's not "who you know" but "how well they know you."
Just because you have someone's name and an email address, does not mean they are a client.
Their name and email address is simply a key to open a door. It is your job to knock on this door until they answer and ultimately invite you in. Once you are in is when you can begin to develop a relationship.

Relationships >> RElationships >> REALationships
A guest post by Tawd Frensley, PropertyMinder's VP of Marketing and Sales
 
 
A lead is nothing until you communicate with them.
This falls under qualification (that is, leads you have purchased or that have been routed to you from your broker).
This communication will prove the lead as either "hot" or "cold".
However, just as hot water slowly cools off, so do leads.
Your consistent interaction via email, text, or voice maintains the warmth of the lead throughout the sales cycle.
But what creates the most "warmth?" Emails are often ignored since the average person opens only 10% of the emails they receive. So you … (0 comments)

Maybe you are doing a little online shopping, or you are resting in between meals. We have an idea of what you can do a few minutes a day to get your business the attention it deserves come January 1, 2016.
(Which is 40 days away, folks.)
Organize your database by placing clients into the appropriate groups in your CRM.
For example, if you have a cousin that bought a home in 2010, they should be in your:
- Referrals/Family Folder
- Sellers’ Folder
- 5-year-owners' folder
