Cordial Invitation to join new group - Best Business Practices

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with 3:16 team REALTY ~ Locally-owned Prosper TX Real Estate Co. #9001154

 I have debated about setting up this new group for a while. I understand that there are too many great blogs out there and many of which encompass this topic. But I would like to have this collection set up for those who want to find this in a snapshot - so here it is: Best Business Practices.

This group blogs about the "Best Business Practices" out there for the real estate industry. It could be technology, software, or even intangible aspects like customer service. What has been successful for you (or not), you could share it here with the rest of the Active Rain community.

So start blogging!!! There are no secrets here.

If possible, do think about one "best" business practice you have implemented for each month of the year so that you do not have 10 "best" business practices on this group.

Just some house-keeping rules: Anything that does not pertain to the objectives of this group will be deleted. No offense taken.

Also, if you think this is a cool idea, do blog about this group. That way, we could spread the word around much effectively (I could only submit this to 5 groups I belong to).....

Also do tag your blog Best Business Practices....

Can't wait to read all about your Best Business Practices.....

Join Group here.

Hi Loreena, I have joined your group. I'm working on a post that should be a nice fit once I finish it. 

By the way I have started moderating the Texas Real Estate group with Liz Carter.  You should check us out.  It is a good place to put your Texas localism post.

I appreciate the cordial invitation and I accept.  This looks like a great place to connect with others in our field and learn new techniques.  I predict the membership will grow leaps and bounds.

Hi Loreena.  I can't fund the "rules" for this group.

My recollection is that it was for the month of September.

My posts for the group are below.  Should I send them to Kerrie??

Good group and great topic for postings.  Thanks.
