consistency: PUBLIC RELATIONS IS NO MYTH
- 12/17/18 09:01 AM
Relating to the public appears to be easy on the surface. What could be easier? You have told & sold your friends, family, neighbors and select people various things over-time and for the most part everything went well and was predictable. Even if it didn't, the stakes were not high enough to cause blow-back, feed-back or get-back dynamics. Let's explore this to see how far public relations goes & why BUSINESS Try brushing someone off or ignoring them for any length of time (or first time) while expecting their business won't work. How do we know this? The paying (or hope to be) customer morphs into & … (6 comments)
consistency: TO DO BUSINESS YOU MUST BE IN BUSINESS
- 12/02/18 08:09 AM
What does this mean "to do business you must be in business"? Business is an arena that functions for a purpose and specific end result. It is a bare bones operation raw and precise leaning heavily on cause & effect dynamics. Anyone can do business but being IN business is a frame of mind and where success awaits anyone who wants it! The secret to business success is out. Practicing business however remains the challenge ATTITUDE Number one rule: You have to like people! These are not mere words but an underlying action that propels your success. If people bother you, this is a … (6 comments)
consistency: REAL ESTATE LEGS (any legs really)
- 01/02/18 06:43 AM
When I fist read Moby Dick by Herman Melville, it brought to my attention the adventure of going to sea for the first time. It sounds simple enough but in reality its an experience that cannot be rushed or substituted. One must put in the time and then, at some point is worthy to earn their "salt" as they say and then acquire their sea legs. That's who everyone wants to ship with EVERY PROFESSION REQUIRES IT Just obtaining a degree, diploma, license or permit doesn't make you ruler of all you survey. It is a purchase ticket to enter into and begin work in that chosen … (6 comments)
consistency: REAL ESTATE NEWS LATE TO ACTIVERAIN PARTY
- 08/06/16 12:24 AM
For years now, I have been a member of ActiveRain site & have been enjoying all the perks & privileges that compliment the business world of Real Estate transacting & all those that participate in it or are related to it along with interesting pot pourri. Well balanced subject matters with comments keep all who engage current & up to date on what is going on & why in the the vast arenas of Real Estate, life & all the peoples involved SOURCES I have noticed that every time I get a Realtor magazine, all of the subject matter is old news. Why? It was already … (11 comments)
consistency: YOU HAVE TO ANSWER THE PHONE?
- 07/07/16 11:33 PM
You don't have to do anything if you don't want to. With that said, the business world is based on interactive communications with purpose. The higher more expensive items of trade & services versus the lower run of the mill everyday wants and needs gives us a good contrast to explore customer service procedures. Another exception is the golden rule. He has the gold rules and may approach this as it befits them GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR When I have a product for sale, we are talking hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of transaction, peoples lives and a nice payday for the agents involved. This to … (18 comments)
consistency: THE TAKE A WAYS
- 04/13/16 12:49 AM
We all know how to enhance a situation or the self at the minimum and how it is subjective when doing so. When one makes an effort, you can see the effort at work. Whether it is effective or hitting its intended mark or audience remains to be seen. The opposite is true too. If something is missing or not running optimum, that is at work as well IMPRESSION A noticeable spot or tear on your clothes takes from the whole presentation. You can be dressed to the nines, but that one little defect can take down the whole point a few notches. I call them take a … (4 comments)
consistency: POST TOASTIES FOR BREAKFAST
- 07/22/15 11:49 PM
To me, Post Toasties is part of my morning-wake call. I like to post, comment and blog as part of my morning ritual which includes coffee, a newspaper, greeting the day, thanking the day-maker and then to my online activities. ActiveRain helps get that going rather smoothly too. I visit with various Rain-making people, comment and then my fresh Postings FRESH POSTINGS When going online becomes a habit or a procedure that is predictable, then expect a steady and predictable response from the doing of it. It is called cause and effect. What one does with anything in life, produces a return for the doing … (8 comments)
consistency: THOSE IN THE SHADOWS
- 04/14/15 09:01 AM
Many people don't know this, but when the last guest has left Disneyland for the evening and the place is emptied out of visitors, all the night lights come on and the night crews come to work. The place becomes a beehive of activities all over the park. Everything gets a look-over, touch-up and check-up! SEEING WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO SEE Now when the public once again visits the next day, they don't know, care or even have an awareness of the above paragraph. WHY? They are only interested in the reason as to why they are there and what is in it for them and rightfully … (25 comments)
consistency: TWO STEPS FORWARD ONE STEP BACK
- 10/21/14 11:54 PM
This works when you are doing it. Don't think about it, just get out there and practice your beliefs, habits, profession and activities. Life has a way of prodding us along and then ever so often, allowing us to see the human nature part up close. Two steps forward is the LIFE part, one step back is our part TAKE FOR INSTANCE... We wake-up one day and decide to become physically fit. We begin the regiment and then, for whatever reason, something interferes with it and we not only stop the forward progression but may even slip back to the pre-days of the … (5 comments)
consistency: SELL YOURSELF OR SELL YOUR SERVICES?
- 07/10/14 06:29 AM
The first rule of marketing is that people buy from people first and then the product holds up pretty well. Usually the product and the services are either in demand or they are not. The consumer is either interested and wants to do business or they don't. The hard sell to buy what you don't want days are long gone. People know what they want and what they don't GETTING TO KNOW THE PERSON AND THE PRODUCT When people get to know a person or the product intimately, the experience takes on a different dimension. Instead of stress or doubt, confusion or fear, there is an expectation to gain, … (4 comments)
consistency: WHAT IS USER FRIENDLY
- 05/11/14 11:56 PM
It is not taking a person and using them for all its worth...LOL. Ease of use or user friendly is a good subject for anything really. When I engage something, I expect it to be as represented. It should compliment and enhance whatever it is ITS ABOUT THEM NOT YOU People who offer professional services are included in this too. If you are offering professional services, everything being offered should be about the consumer and their wants and needs and it should be a pleasure to interact or exchange time or money while receiving your services THEY ARE THINKING THIS Whats in … (8 comments)
consistency: MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES
- 04/08/14 04:47 AM
This is not a post for horses but it is a call to work like a horse while you can. During our recent downturn, many people in the industry took a loss of income and then some and even if they wanted to work...there was NO work... PLACE MY PORTION HERE Opportunity also is something that should be respected and seized upon when it presents itself. It is no respecter of persons and YOU have to be ready when it appears. If not, instead of landing in your "portion" area to reward you... it just moves on... IN BETWEEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING For those that don't want to wait, then activate … (29 comments)
consistency: IT WAS A RAINMAKER WHO SET ME STRAIGHT
- 01/21/13 11:40 PM
Years ago when I fist started out on ACTIVERAIN, well it was a very pleasant experience in many ways. Over time I experimented with different things always looking for my online presence and identity. Sometimes you have to have a little fun while commenting, posting and blogging and sometimes you have too much fun and lose focus IT CREPT UP ON ME I remember keeping a balance on the subject of personal versus business and one day rather subtly I started having more fun than purpose. Perhaps it was from exhaustion, temporary indifference or ignorance who knows. How I came back … (14 comments)
consistency: ONE SUBJECT AT A TIME PLEASE
- 06/18/12 07:53 AM
Many times I am introduced to situations where someone is overwhelmed. I immediately begin a line of questioning to help out and what do I find? There are multiple issues going on making it near impossible to pin anything down. I am not saying that what is going on is not relevant NO. I am saying that we need to tackle whatever is happening systematically PICK ONE AND LETS BEGIN Pick one subject. I don't care which one it is. We will just start from there. Lets take buying a home for instance. To someone who has done this before or has … (2 comments)
