The Question is... Which Homer will tell your tale?

Tricia and I went to a marketing seminar today and listened to a speaker talk about using video to market real estate listings. He showed us a couple of examples. One of the example videos was really bad and the other was really professional on a really expensive house. Neither of these approaches really work that well for the "middle third" of the agent population, so how does the average agent get started with video marketing? There are 3 simple steps to start making video work for your real estate marketing: 1) Create your own video channel on You Tube (0 comments)
Here’s the situation: Most business owners and sales professionals, just like yourself, know that you will absolutely lose business if you are not in contact with your customers on a regular basis. It’s a documented fact. The average organization loses 15 – 35% of its customers each year, primarily due to not being attentive. Just ask yourself, “Do most of my efforts go into trying to get new customers – while my existing customers drift off to the competition?” We all have good intentions for personal communication with our clients and customers, but (0 comments)
Watch our new video to learn more about scheduling an A-R-E-I-O with your top clients! Scheduling and A-R-E-I-O means setting up an Annual Real Estate Investment Overview with your past clients. It’s a great opportunity to listen to your clients joys and concerns and make a plan for future changes to their real estate portfolio. You don’t want to run into your client in the supermarket and then have them ask you “Why haven’t you called???” You should start by picking your top 48 clients and schedule one A-R-E-I-O every week!

(The top 20% of your clients that is..) “So, how do I know who are my top 20%?” Ask two questions: 1. “Who are my most profitable clients according to my financial sheets?” Measure each customer’s ROI by the profits they’ve generated for you this week/month/quarter/lifetime. 2. “Who are my profitably-hidden clients?” Don’t confine yourself strictly to financial docs. Several members of your actual top 20% won’t be so profitable on your financial docs; however, they bring with them lucrative associations that make you more profitable.

email marketing: Week 42- Do you want to fly like an EAGLE?
- 10/19/11 01:41 PM
Fly like an Eagle Fall is the time when eaglets learn to fly! In order for an eaglet to learn how to fly, the mother eagle simply tosses the little eaglet out of the nest. Because they are scared, they jump back into the nest again. Next, she tosses them out and removes the soft layers of the nest exposing sticks and thorns. When the scared eaglets jump back into the nest, they are pricked by the thorns causing them to jump out again on their own. Next, mother eagle tosses them out of the nest and into the air. As they (2 comments)
1 ) Don’t treat email addresses like email addresses, treat them like relationships. An email address is a personal invitation to send your messages to a place where he or she sends and receives personal and business communication. 2 ) Remember the 3 P’s. - Proposition. What value do customers/subscribers get from your e-mail? - Positioning. How does your offer differ from the competitors? - Personality. What tone and image do your e-mails convey? 3 ) Be Authentic and Relate to your Audience. You have something valuable to offer your audience, show them that you can relate to (3 comments)
