Redding CA - Senior Realtor Makes Disparaging Remarks About ActiveRain--I recently heard from a fellow Realtor in my office that a Senior Realtor with many years of experience who has great technical skills and reputed to be knowledgeable about "The Internet" made a comment that was disparaging about ActiveRain at our Tuesday Company meeting.
It was very surprising to me to hear about it. I have great respect for the Realtor and it came as a surprise on his very demonstrable opinion of AR. His physical gestures were described in detail and offensive to this member of the AR membership.
I guess you either "Get it" or you don't! I've written about this phenomenon previously and it still remains a conundrum to me. Having spent the better years of my professional life at Apple Computer working on team development and later in life running my own software development company that was engaged in helping work groups in performance improvement, I find such short sighted vision rather interesting. The best thing any individual can do is to engage in a learning infrastructure that produces a second derivative for learning and improvement. That is in essence what AR is. It IS a learning and improvement infrastructure for business development and performance improvement.
My experience here in the RAIN has been rather astonishing. I've learned so much here about SEO and building that pervasive marketing presence. It results in all my business. I don't do floor time. I don't do direct mail. I don't do print advertising. I answer my phone to people that want to do business with me. I don't sell anything....I just answer my phone. I have good skills and so I close the deal and have new clients.
It's all about the web and organic SEO. The combination of a custom IDX solution, Hyper Localism, and 15 blog sites that market niche markets provides me all my business. Where did I learn how to do this.....AR! THANK YOU ACTIVERAIN.
It remains the way of the few and while we have seen it change from 4% to 6% who blog, we are still leading the way for the real estate industry. I have over 3000 hours of learning here in the RAIN and the RAIN remains the anchor to my business. I have three AR accounts. One for my main real estate business, one for Ranch and Land and one for our software development business.
Google my name and look at the results. Google my listings and look at the results. My marketing brings me ample business for the lifestyle I choose.
If you don't know what you are criticizing....better left unsaid. One has to wonder on the motive of such remarks!
Redding CA - Senior Realtor Makes Disparaging Remarks About ActiveRain--I am Jeanean Gendron and I personally think that ActiveRain SEO rocks and if you'd like to talk to me about it....bring it on. I guarantee that you will loose the debate...why...because I know first hand and you don't. Walk a mile in my shoes before you talk about what you don't know! You can reach me at 530 276-7417. I answer my phone. While attempting to hypothesize why such a Senior Realtor would make such comments....I'm going to remain positive and think it due to lack of knowledge and not of a mean intention. Word of Advice: knowledge is powerful when understood and shared. Lack of knowledge is dangerous and can actually hurt others who may need what you can't see or don't value.
