The Last 100 Days Of 2016: All Is Well, Blue Skies Ahead!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

Bob Crane has a new challenge for the last quarter of the year. This includes writing a post that shares our plans and how we are doing thus far.

 

In reviewing our theme for 2016 “Always Bring the Best Version of YOU to the Game,” we have a three fold premise:

 

-- Shift the focus of your game from marketing luxury real estate to marketing YOU

 

-- Exponentially increase the number of high-trust relationships you have 

 

-- Clearly articulate your Extraordinary Promise of Value (EVP) and have that message fully expressed throughout your website, so the site becomes your “silent salesperson.”

 

Mid-year we concluded that we wanted to do more business in our hometown of Santa Barbara, and spend less business travel time. That meant being even more selective regarding out of town clients and also expanding the scope of our local services.  

 

Our experience as leaders in brand strategy for the luxury real estate industry has yielded powerful insights that can and should be applied by any local service professional or local business owner who aspires to achieve top-of-mind status in their marketplace. Our top priority shifted to the goal of dramatically increasing LOCAL high trust relationships and referral sources here in town.

 

The last 100 days of 2016 will be focused on exponentially increasing our local sphere of influence. This required that we expand our EVP:

 

The Art of Local Niche Marketing in Affluent Communities

 

When you are clear about your EVP, it makes it easier for others to quickly spread the word about you. We are happy with our results, and blue skies ahead!.

\Wishing you a great rest of the year!

It's this time of year when the cycle begins to repeat itself which makes the perfect moment to rev up the EVP, eighty two days and counting!

Hi Ron & Alexandra - That's an interesting refocus of your strategy, and one that I'm sure will prove to be a great success, as well as a huge benefit to those local businesses wise enough to engage your expertise on their behalf.

I certainly understand your wanting to stay local in these trying travel times. It certainly frees up more time for you to work on your last 100 days goals with clarity and conviction. You two are masters and I'll bet there are clients CLAMORING to work with you both!

And I've travelled more this year than in the last few put together, practically! The airline Gods watch over me, I've had mostly the pre-check TSA granted, so no long lines and when I left my camera on the plane flying into Syracuse (with Larry to go to the Thousand Islands and see Mom), someone told me that they discovered it, gave it to a baggage claim person and when she told me that I had it back within less than 10 minutes time! (Whew...I was frantic--gave the young man a $10 tip for helping me).

Ron and Alexandra- as much as you both love traveling, I'm sure that your refocusing will allow you more time to explore different avenues in your own area. And your local businesses will be the beneficiaries.
