After inviting my friend Jimmy Cooper(competitor of mine in Dyersburg) to Activerain, I asked myself the question, "Why did I invite my competition to Activerain"?
Many of you here are asking this same question. Here are a few reasons I invited Jimmy.
First of all, there is enough business to go around. I have so much business now I cannot get it all done. If I could devote more quality time to each client the results could be much better.
Secondly, Jimmy is not my real competition! Who is your real competition in your market? I suggest to you that the FSBO's are your real competition. You are working with a good customer or client(good reason for you to be their buyer's agent) and the next thing you know they have contracted with a FSBO. I strongly encourage my agents to get the buyers agent contract signed with their clients. Most people want us to be committed to them so why not ask for that same commitment from them!
Thirdly, all deals should be a win/win and what better way to have that happen than when two "professional Realtors" are involved! I invite my competition here to learn how to be a more professional Realtor. I am in awe of all the professional Realtors here teaching us how to mimic them! Thank-you for helping to develop "me" into a professional Realtor.
Fourthly, technology is evolving so fast that even if the agents jump into Activerain right now, the learning curve is so great that they possible never will catch up with you.
Get out there and invite, invite and invite others to Activerain, even your competition!
