Every day there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I try to highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Hi Kathy... read seven of these. Passed on the pop-by post. I've been a Buffini-ite for more than a decade. He was first to preach the pop-by message. I rarely do them... too time consuming and I find my clients are generally so busy popping by interferes with their days. I find other ways to keep in touch and it works... 85+% of my business is repeat and referral.

Nina Hollander, Broker That's an ideal way to run your business!!!  It looks like you continue to keep your pipeline open by focusing on previous clients.
