Motivational Monday…Back to the Basics

Good morning, Kathy... keeping the basics are part of one's ongoing routine is what keeps the business humming.

Thank you very much, Kathy, for sharing some of your personal experience and advice.

Getting back to the basics will always give a business a much-needed jumpstart that is why it is so important to have solid fundamentals in place.

Hi Kathy - what you are saying fits in perfectly with my post today.  Part of goal setting or goal review is getting back to basics.

Kathy you are so right.  Get out and meet people is the key.  Have a wonderful Monday and sell a house. Bill 

Hello Kathy - this is more evidence that shift continues to happen.   

Keeping the basics in mind is the foundation for success in any industry.  Then being flexible to shift to the existing market is much easier.

Hello Kathy and basics are so important and we al need to remember that at all time.

Hi Kathy,
The tools of the basics may change (like no more Rolodex), but the premise behind them never does.

Hi Kathy,

This is great advice.  I, too, worked in the staffing industry and could tell when we were heading into a downturn.  My area of concentration was warehouse and distribution.  To this day, I see the effects of the two-year cycle of elections and how real estate slows down during that time.  For some, it may not be as noticeable because of the seasonal shift, but it is definitely there! 

It is time to get back to basics.  Rick and I have already been talking about how to change up our marketing plan for 2023. 

This is always the case. I often wonder why agents seem to shy away from business because it gets a little hard. Silly really.

Kathy we can't go wrong by sticking to what has been proven to work NO MATTER how old and basic it is.

I like the story and it is a great example and lesson to all of us when things slow down to keep doing what we know works. Working our relationships.

I always seem to have little trouble finding the chaos in the calm but hat is a totally different story Kathy 🙂

Yes, the tried and true work methods that continue to make a difference, especially in a changing/challenging market. I enjoyed today's motivational post, Kathy, thank you for sharing!

I had to smile at the mention of your rolodex, Kathy.  Interestingly enough, this morning I came across my little recipe box, that had index cards inside with client data.

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Kathy you are so right sometimes it is good to go back to basics, funny today I had four calls from someone in England... timing in life I was always on the phone.... no message left... should I call back Hmm not sure if I want to deal with someone who cannot leave a message, Endre

Excellent advice, Kathy. I have no doubt you were well trained. Sometimes I prefer old school methods...they always come in handy.

Right on! Some as our industry as shifted from paper to screen communication, we forget there is still a simple way to stay in touch...write a note, make a call etc. IMO back to basics means do something more human! Congrats on the feature!
