referrals: GOOD ACTIVERAIN REAL ESTATE STORY
- 06/20/22 11:54 AM
Just recently, I was contacted via Active rain by someone who wanted me to sell their home. It came across as spam for this one reason. The email was signed "Popeye". It also gave a phone number and of course their email address. What did I do? Dismissed the whole thing via deleting and moved on. BUT WAIT, there is more
THAT NAGGING FEELING
A day or two later, this revisiting of what took place and what I did kept coming back to me until I finally honored it and decided to do a little investigating. I googled the email and phone and … (29 comments)

referrals: BUYING LEADS & REFERRALS MAKES FOR POOR SQUIRRELS?
- 05/06/16 12:45 AM
If there was a company or source, that had access to constant leads in the Real Estate arenas, why wouldn't they claim them for themselves? Why would they sell them for less than nothing as compared to a full blown thriving listing that went full circle and paid well for work performed? If you had this connection, wouldn't you want to realize it to its potentials?
CASE STUDY
Decades ago, I got together with two seasoned builder individuals and we discussed buying land, improving it and then selling it. What we didn't sell, we would keep. The plan was simple but also very revealing. Let me … (14 comments)

referrals: GOT A REFERRAL THE OTHER DAY OR DID I?
- 10/13/14 11:34 PM
I was in court so my phone was turned off and the call went to voice mail. If I wasn't in a meeting, I would have let it go to voice mail as well. WHY? The words UNKNOWN appear on my cell phone screen. In today's world of knowing and being known, UNKNOWN doesn't appeal to me.
WHOSE SPEAKING?
That used to be the standard everywhere you went for centuries in regards to meeting people. Everyone introduced themselves because it was rude, discourteous if you didn't and expected of them to do so and if you didn't, it stopped right there or got off to a … (17 comments)

referrals: WHEN TITLE COMPANIES WENT WILD
- 10/05/14 10:59 PM
The team I once worked with always had about 80 escrows going and many more to come because we were a land purchasing operation that assemble parcels for entitlements to larger projects. We were always being courted by Title companies. There wasn't anything the companies wouldn't do to get your business and the one who got it spoiled you to boot too
EVERYDAY SOLICITATIONS
This was around the early 2000 year mark and ran for several years. The competition between the companies was fierce. They fought over clients and accounts constantly trying to woo over someone from someone else. This went on daily non-stop

referrals: LIST OF "GO TO" PEOPLE WORKS EVERY TIME
- 05/02/14 12:22 AM
I have a good referral list of people who perform different jobs that come through every time. They made the list because they perform. That is how you qualify. If you are a plumber, attorney, doctor, electrician, agent, gardener, artist or (?) and perform as represented, you're in!
YES I KNOW OF SOMEONE
People ask me who can you recommend for something and I do gladly share my resources. I also add a couple of things when I do. First, a little story about that person that is appropriate and second my little comment of I don't guarantee the result as I leave that up to you … (6 comments)

referrals: I SAID NO AND THEY CAME BACK
- 04/10/13 06:03 AM
I got a referral one day and while on the surface it all sounded and felt great, at some point dynamics surfaced which were found in the details. I didn't like the conversation and how it was going and declined to do business. It just wouldn't fit my business plan. I am careful before I start anything because I know once I commit, I must follow through
SORRY..NO CAN DO
My NAY was put out as nicely as I could muster. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings nor did I want to injure the person who referred this person to … (2 comments)

referrals: I HAD TO SAY NO ON THIS REFERRAL
- 03/20/13 11:28 PM
Got a call in regards to managing some property from a person who said a satisfied customer referred me to them. FINE. I listened as this person told me why they were calling and described a situation that kept pointing the finger of many problems to themselves. I am being deliberately vague here. I asked some careful questions and arrogance, strong hold tactics, and unreasonableness came to the surface. This person wanted me to work for them
LACKING THE ABILITY TO REASON
If they could only hear themselves complaining about all these management issues and the part they play in it. … (7 comments)

I love this business and everyone in it...It is a people business and yes you can make a living at it too. I like talking with people and if I can help someone get in or out of a transaction successfully, I feel a great sense of worth and purpose in doing so. The SKILLS BANK has to go to work. I got a call from a woman out of state...

referrals: REFERRED SOMETHING OUT GENEROUSITY CAME BACK
- 04/03/12 01:29 AM
I have a list of people of whom I trust to refer others to should the need arise. I trust these people and no agreement is necessary. If I contact them, brief them and they accept, then we are game on. Now, we have to make sure our clients needs get met and successful transacting takes place.
HANDING OFF TO A PROFESSIONAL
I don't discuss amounts, time frames or tactics. My associates and peers know what to do just like I do. Their word to do is more solid that a supreme court ruling. Consequently things always go so well when … (0 comments)

- 03/13/12 08:30 AM
I am a full service Real Estate agent. More specifically, I like to list, market and sell properties for top, but fair dollar. I enjoy it as it allows me to use all my skills, gifts, talents, and abilities which gives one a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Just recently, I had to refer out a referral from a high source for a good reason

They were first time buyers. They needed a lot of time and attention and wanted to see and find the perfect home. I am in support of that and I … (2 comments)

referrals: I GOT A REFERRAL THE OTHER DAY BUT IT MADE NO SENSE
- 01/09/12 12:33 PM
The only part I understand is the business to business B2B. If anyone else out there knows what this means, please let me in on it...It brought back fond memories of when I used to order food to go...Other than that, I am stumped. Also, doing a spell check was challenging and I had to pull out of it....
避开外贸B2B价格战和探价询盘
外贸客户开发展会价格高，客户来源单一，B2B竟争激烈，询盘虽然很多但成交却很少，好不容易成交了一个单，价格压得没有利润，想用关键词排名却大把的钱投进去没有效果，靠自身网站去推广暴光率又太小，难道开发海外客户就无路可走了吗？
主动出击开发客户的重要性
要想和国外的那些展会里又很少机会正好遇得到的，又很少上B2B去压价比较的客户做生意.首先要找到他们和他们主动建立联系才行，如何去主动能找到他们，就要知道他们在哪里，顶易中国集成了世界上所有五大洲的主流搜索引挚，还有各种行业协会，让您轻松一键获取，别人很多步才做到的我们一步就能做到.

referrals: SELECTING REAL ESTATE AGENT EXAMPLE OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- 01/08/12 03:23 AM
Not everyone who is licensed to practice Real Estate knows all things in regards to Real Estate no more than a doctor who practices general medicine is expected to know everything about the human body. Some knowledge yes, but a good practitioner of anything has a special field of operation, something that they excel at and do repetitively.
THE SELLERS CHOICE
I am a sellers agent and love it so. I have marketing abilities and skills that I love to use. I like focusing on a specific pocket areas to bring my energies to bare, and I enjoy the interaction from … (5 comments)

referrals: REFERRALS WORK WELL IF EVERYONE WORKS THE REFERRAL
- 12/30/11 10:21 AM
I got the initial call. My local Board of Realtors Real Estate counsel recommended me to first time buyers. I have a short sale that would make a perfect first time buyer investment too. However these folks wanted another area. After much dialog, I decided that these buyers will need some TLC and told them I would be referring a top notch agent to them for that area.
A PAL OF MINE
I had someone in mind too. I meet a lot of people in general through out my week and have run into some exceptional Real Estate agents. Just like … (4 comments)

referrals: SANTA IS A LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT
- 12/27/11 03:06 AM
He is only licensed in for the state of Alaska specifically the North pole. He works Real Estate only part time too. This intentionally limits his practice making it kinda slow for him all year round. This is a good thing because of his full time job delivering presents and visiting with others which takes up most of his time.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY
He did come by this Christmas and left me 2 referrals and one short sale plus a potential deal worth looking into. He will be entitled to full referral fees once I get things underway and set … (6 comments)

referrals: CLOSING GIFTS....HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?
- 05/31/11 09:48 AM
First and foremost, the agreed to and intended results was the gift. You were hired to do a job and you did it. Services were exchanged for money and all walked away winners. However, it our industry of buying and selling, investing and servicing Real Estate, a gift to seal the memory of the deal is a common gesture
OK...WHAT DO WE GIVE?
What to give causes head scratching in the industry and to be unique about it can be challenging. Gift baskets, wine, calendars, gift certificates, magnet items, pen and pencil sets, flowers, plants, charity donations, vases, sweets, statues, food, … (11 comments)

referrals: 4 OUT OF 5 DENTISTS RECOMMEND.....then your product here...REMEMBER?
- 05/26/11 02:23 AM
Remember that marketing program? it all relies on the premise of why would your dentist lie? He wouldn't. Does anyone know of a lying dentist? Comment now if you do! Well, in the REAL ESTATE business, the same thing should be said about you...4 out of 5 people recommend....FILL IN YOUR NAME
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
You see if you are on top of your game and getting things done, well that says a lot. If you are winning friends and loving people as you do so, that says it all...The Universe cannot help but support a path being beaten … (11 comments)
