How to NOT be an old fogey in the real estate business
If you even know what the word fogey is, you might be one.
5 tips to keep up with the times
1) Don’t say "www" before every website. We know it’s www, that’s the only world wide web out there, and the search engines or your clients no longer need the www part spelled out for them (unless they are fogey-ish).
2) Every time the word computer comes up, don’t claim to be “computer illiterate” or “such a dummy when it comes to computers”. We’ll take you at your word and take our business elsewhere. The business world revolves around computers and if you can’t run yours…………what else can’t you do?
3) Don’t write super long email messages. Most business people now check their messages on their phones and it’s a pain in the neck to read a foot long message on an iphone. Many won’t bother, except for the first line or two. The way to go is TEXT or a short email.
4) Be proud of who you are and your experience. Have a current photo of yourself on your business cards and websites. It’s too much of a shock to meet you when we thought you were a dashing figure but find that was in 1975.
5) Text with your thumbs, like the kids do, instead of pecking with your forefinger. You’ll get the hang of it and It keeps you young.
