Facebook Fridays - Losing Biz Before It Is Secured!

I belong to several local Facebook groups (I highly encourage this if you want new traffic and potential leads) and about a month ago I was called out in one of these groups for being a "taker not a giver". In this particular group the offended people were right and I quickly made amends and have worked hard at doing a better job of actively participating (push vs pull). After that incident it really got me thinking...when I get complacent online what image am I portraying to consumers who are a big part of my online prospect, lead, and client base?!?!

Hopefully you do not neglect your online audience, but it is worth a long retrospective look to ensure you are not putting off the wrong vibe, regardless of the social media platform you use regularly. None of us want to lose business before we have the opportunity to secure it!

Of course the meat and taters of this post is below...5 Rainers to go visit and perhaps learn from or become future referral partners with and plenty of links to tips and advice to set your Facebook presence zooming down the track!

As always, show some Rainer love...PLEASE stop by the Facebook Fan Pages below, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a minute and return LIKE those that stopped by your Facebook Fan Page. Helping each other helps us all on social media...enjoy Rainers!

More real estate professionals should be taking advantage of the networking opportunities with Facebook groups.

Anita, I think it's very easy to drift away on some of our SM venues.  What was easy at first might get infrequent as other things take priority.  I don't post to Pinterest as often as I should, so perhaps some weekend catching up to do.

Good morning Anita Clark ,

I can't imagine anyone calling you out as a "taker not a giver!" Everyone has their take but they certainly don't know you! You are the one of the biggiest "givers" in our industry and I listen to what you have to say..all makes for good business practices!

What kind of local groups do you belong to, Anita? I'm in a couple of homeowner groups, some local yard sale groups, and a Realtor group. Do you have suggestions for others? I have a few ideas and of course it's another opportunity for a post! :)

Good morning Anita,

Somtimes complacency happens and there is someone who will get us back on track.

All five done.

Make yourself a great day.

Anita, it's easy to not check in on our SM groups as the days just fly by, although I have a hard time seeing you as a taker. You're one of the most generous people here in the Rain!

Anita I have a hard time believing you are a "taker not a giver" on any site.  That surely is not the case here on AR, where I feel you are ALL GIVER!!!

Woot, woot...thanks Kim. ;-)

Conrad: Not readily sharing information...

Michael: It works as many who share their comments on Facebook Fridays each week can attest to.

You rock...congrats Joe!

Faith: That is exactly what happened to me.

Happy to assist, Gita.

Sandy/Norm: Agreed. We can definitely learn from checking out new FB fan pages.

I completely agree. Thanks Roy.

You are awesome...thanks a bunch, Gabe.

Sheila: I was in that instance...misunderstanding now rectified.

Dorie: Thanks. I try to share when I see value.

Pat Starnes In addition to those you mention I also belong to a local military wives group, a local british support group, community/civic group, and a couple of mom's groups.

Thanks for supporting Facebook Fridays each week, Raymond.

Amanda: Like I often say, helping each other helps us all.

I knew you would be showing up, John. Thanks for your faithfulness to FB Fridays.

Thanks Noah. I am glad you enjoy reading it each week.
