Persistence leads to prosperity

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Marte Cliff Copywriting

Yes, this is a difficult real estate market, and many will drop out this year. But those who persist, and even ramp up their marketing, will prosper. Just ask those agents who worked through the last 2 or 3 real estate downturns! 

Persistence wins the race

 

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

 

—Calvin Coolidge

 

Stay in touch with those homeowners who haven't quite decided whether to list or stay put by sending them these Homeowner Advice letters. This is a set of 18 letters, plus two suggestions for "invitation" copy for your website. 

 

In addition to keeping you top of mind with undecided homeowners, they are also good to send to people who know they need to sell and are in the midst of getting a house ready for market. 

 

This set of 18 letters, mailed weekly, will keep you in touch for over 4 months - or longer if you intersperse market reports, just listed notices, etc. 

 

This set is priced at only $119 for all 18, but because the decision to sell is a difficult one for many this year, I've entered a $20 discount code. That code is the word future. Click here to get more information and browse the letter topics.
 

I wish you hearty measures of both joy and prosperity,

Marte

Persistence takes patience, and I said we all struggle from time to time with it, but  it’s totally worth it in so many cases

Yes it does, Laura Cerrano. But as you said, it's worth it.

Hello Marte - those words of wisdom from Coolidge remain relevant today.  And when combined with other factors can lead to better results.  Perhaps, prosperity.  Or a more positive outcome.   Many sorts of possibilities.

Persistence is definitely key, especially for those who manage their own businesses.

That's for sure, Kat Palmiotti - if you forget about people, they'll forget about you.

Good morning, Marte... call it persistence, call it consistency... it works. Staying in touch with one's data base is key in any kind of market. I've never had someone tell me I stayed in touch too much.

Marte Cliff

That's because you've never overdone it, Nina Hollander, Broker. There are some businesses I like to hear from occasionally, but when they send me multiple messages every day, I don't appreciate it.
