We saw the movie The Forge recently and a key takeaway was a scene where a mentor tells a young man "Be a fountain, not a drain".
You could probably interpret that statement multiple ways, but the core of it boils down to being a positive contributor to others.
Why do many members come back to ActiveRain day after day, year after year?
It's about the ratio of fountains to drains.
Flashing back to our beginning years in the Rain, an early realization was that Rainers were very helpful and sharing of information.
When you're used to other agents being guarded about how they market and lead generate, it's amazing to find so many people willing to share what works for them.
Blog this way, not that way.
Tips for using direct mail.
Escalation clauses.
QR codes.
CRM comparisons.
News about industry changes.
The list goes on and on, and so many times ActiveRain was the first place I heard of the latest and greatest. ActiveRain reliably bested all our CE classes, brokerage training session and local board offerings. Lots of working fountains in the Rain!
ActiveRain offers a diversity of backgrounds and experiences, we each bring something different to the table, and a willingness to share that knowledge and experience is what makes this community special.
Be a fountain.
Until next Tuesday, just Ask An Ambassador if you need help,
