Rules of Engagement

 

The honest truth? There are no rules for long-term success! What works for Bobby may not gain traction with Julie, so it's a singular business model, intrinsically self-driven by design. Am so thankful for my past marketing and advertising career.

 

Making connections with potential clients takes consistent effort and time. Relationship building means gaining trust through several integral methods. Three tried and true ways in particular have worked for me in the past and are still my trusted go-to. 

 

📍 Blogging:

Since 2009, writing has been an almost, daily reflex. From the moment I found a voice here at ActiveRain, 5,191 posts have been blogged about everything from southern Utah market reports, on how to garden, to spending time at the Silo. Many referrals have been sent by members, am forever grateful for that.

 

📍 Social Media:

Maintaining a positive mindset and relaying that on social media sites has allowed me to re-kindle family relations & friendships, helps to gather with like-minded people and to gain a loyal following. A little business mixed with sunrise/sunset photos, gardening, sharing parts of every day life, creates a degree of transparency.

 

📍 Direct Mailing:

Direct mailing has been a successful return on investment for me and plays a large part in the soft touch approach. Every quarter, a new greeting card is designed with real estate in mind, printed, then sent out, offering something of value. It has brought referrals every single time! Proof there is loyalty in this industry.

 

When first starting out in real estate, I joined as many local groups that were thought to help push business forward. Unfortunately, many only wanted a 'work crew' whose long-term members benefitted from, instead of eager, new recruits. Quality rules over quantity, a valuable lesson learned.

 

Attending industry events, joining beneficial organizations, participating in a online communities plus doing what works for individual success is up to every single professional. Clients rule, so engage!

A friend and I tried a new restaurant and I didn't hesitate to ask the people in the next booth for advice on what to order. Glad that I engaged them, Dorie Dillard Austin TX, because it was one of the best ramen noodle dishes I've had in a great while!

So true, Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543. Success is like buying a tailored suit. It fits you perfectly but not necessarily anyone else!

Thank you for the support, Will Hamm. If you and your wife are ever passing by, give us a little notice and we can join you both for lunch or dinner! Of course, if ever there, we could do the same.

We create our own ways of doing business, with a few adjustments here and there and it works. Of course, when the market changes, we adapt along with it to remain successful. Self-motivation always plays a key role too, Anna "Banana" Kruchten!

Oh Lordie Wanda.......we had a few agents that couldn't motivate themselves and they didn't last long.  Motivation is a KEY factor!  Hard to imagine not being motivated to the max.  Tude Speed!!

Your words are true and there is no surefire way to have success in real estate, but the best thing we can do is constantly stay in contact with our sphere of influence!

Yes, I agree with Dorie. The two words, 'real estate' are meant meant for action, more like flag football instead of full tackle though, Kathy Streib!

Well done. Motivation is key to success with anything. Many think all we do is lunch, put it in the mls and put a sign up.
