I guess the terms … “out of touch” and “the old dinosaur” … just don't apply the way they used to with the name Mike Ferry. I received a notification from LinkedIn this morning saying, “Congratulations! Of our 200 million members you are in the top 1% of the most viewed profiles in the entire system.” I've been on LinkedIn for less than 18 months and have 17,000 connections in the Real Estate industry. I guess the "old dog" still has some attraction. My company, much to my dismay, started a Facebook page last June. As of today we have over 14,000 likes. “What's going on here? Is the world changing right before my very eyes???”
Today, in Glendale, California, we have 700 agents who bought a ticket for our 4-day Productivity School. Of the 700 tickets sold, about 25 were purchased online through our on-line presence. 31,000 connected online, tens of thousands viewing my website monthly and 675 tickets sold the "old-fashioned way” … conversations with people on the phone and in person.
QUESTION ... do you want more listings and sales? TALK to people. Just a thought from your old-fashioned Sales Trainer/Technology guy.
