Catch the Google Wave of the Future, or Sink!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RealSupport Inc.

You’ve got the idea of Facebook and Twitter.  So what now?  Say hello to Google Wave (sign in or sign up with any email address to check it out). Launched in May, this newer program has the potential to revolutionize the way you interact with leads and existing clients, and can be used as another powerful prospecting tool . Google Wave combines the concepts of Facebook and Twitter with Google Search, Google Docs, YouTube, E-Vite, and basically every form of discussion forum on the internet.  The potential is truly unlimited.

Imagine running a Google search of public conversations and forums, easily accessible and in the same place.  You can do that!  How about starting a discussion of your own, and inviting your contacts via email?  Sure.  What about starting a discussion and posting it openly to the public to engage?  Yes.  Organize your Home Buyer Seminar and guest list and agenda, even host a home buyer seminar live online, cost-free! 

Beyond networking, Google Wave will change and improve the way you work.  Track tasks, troubleshoot and work in groups, embed Waves in your website, ask questions, answer questions, and much more. Sure, it is young and there are still processes to streamline and improve, but better to learn and grow with the program.  Wouldn’t you love to be the one around the office with all the answers, rather than questions?

Google Wave is a game changer, and you’ll want to be ahead of the curve on this one.  So, I know, you want to get started.  There are so many possibilities, but as with all multi-functional, multi-purpose cool tools comes a bit of “how-to” to get your head around.  Try starting here:

Don’t get overwhelmed and throw in the towel on this!  You can find other suggested video’s provided by Google that will help you navigate the program.  Still need help?  Have questions?  Ask your real estate virtual assistant to help you catch the wave!

Have a great day!

I had heard that Google Wave was invitation only. I'm going to check out the link if I can.

It looks like you used the wrong embed code or didn't place in into HMTL. I can't see the link.

Hi Vickie! Try refreshing your screen, perhaps it took a moment for the video to appear in the post.  It is no longer invitation only! They opened it up to the public as of late May. To post a public wave simply address to Public@a.googlewave.com

How exciting, this is a great alternative to Evernote (which I have yet to dig into) I really love what Google has to offer! Google Voice is so helpful for my business. Thanks! Kim
