Yesterday Was An Interesting Day

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Oasis - Metro Brokers

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a day long group conference for my RE/MAX Masters Greenwood Village office.  You see, in lieu of a Christmas party, my office splurged on hiring a guest speaker to help us all jump start our business. 

I have to say that they chose well and for me, it taught me something very important.  

 

I am ahead of the game.  

 

A huge component of the day was talking about social networking and technology driven business strategies.  Now I am not any means professing to be an expert - but I could tell by the majority of the reaction that I am ahead of the competition.  I already knew that to an extent, but it was nice to have it confirmed.  There were a few new ideas presented to me, but for the most part, I felt very informed.      

One year ago that same speaker would have left me in awe of what I was not participating in.  But now, that is not the case.  

So, to my customers, you have chosen an agent that is using new technology daily to market your home and is constantly improving his strategy to stay ahead of the competition.  

And to my peers, that are now googling Active Rain and my name (after seeing me raise my hand when he asked, who is using Active Rain) & finding out what AR is and seeing everything I have done on it - see that button to your right that says Join the Active Rain Real Estate Network?   Click it now and sign up and you too can get with the game.  Or you can even click right here.   

If you need help, just ask - I am more than happy to show you how this too can be used for your own unique business model.  

1st placeOh, and that Science Fair I had to leave for that my son was in - he won first place in his category.  Congrats Kiddo, I am so proud of you!  It looks like we were both winners yesterday.

Hi Steve - that sounds like a great day for you and a science fair win to boot!!  ;-)

What a great idea your company had, and what a great way to help the whole office get the year off to a good start.  Who was the speaker you had there?

Steve, we are not doing an awards banquet this year.  Instead we are throwing a party for our past clients at the end of the year.  Should be better networking.

Hi Dena, Almost all of my son's work is now over my head.  I am glad he is so smart, I rarely need to help him.

Sounds like your son has some of the same skills as his father! Being ahead of the game sure feels good, doesn't it? Sometimes, it helps to find out what we are doing RIGHT!

Elaine - He sure had a pure genuine smile on his face when he got his blue ribbon.  I was pretty stoked as well.

Renee - I really don't feel like an expert at all, but just knowing that I am ahead of the pack is good enough for me.   There were a few others that are on it to, but not very many.  We'll see if they decide to give it all a try or not.

Thanks Teri - I think the day was a good way for us to all have spent our time and in this case a better use of the money over a Christmas party.  It was a great day all around.
