You should consider hiring a business coach.  That sounds self-serving, I know, but really it's a great way to gain (or regain) your focus.  And it's an amazing tool for accountability.  I'm working with a realtor right now and he's doing MUCh better than before (and he was pretty good before) simply because he has a sounding board and someone to hold him accountable.

Considering that your business is a business, you probably don't need help with the real estate side of it.  You probably need help with lead generation ideas.  Or maybe conversion from lead to customer.  Maybe it's another area all together...but the point is you don't need a realtor or real estate coach to help you.  You could use a business coach or someone who can look at your work from an outside perspective and give you real feedback.  Look at some of my blogs (search for the one on "measure and test" for some ideas.

Best of success!

Peggy,

You need to learn how to use the keywords here at active rain, in posts that you write about your market, to improve your internet search engine presence. I can give you some tips if you want to Email me. It really works. You can also find articles on that here. AR has huge SEO power

Peggy,

I know this is like your response from the Business Coach (self serving), however the power of the Internet is huge and The Real Estate Book feeds to a ton of sites for free as a paying page member. This being said, its not only a valuable selling tool to sell homes it is also a great way to list homes as you have the power to tell Mr. or Mrs. Home seller that you can have their home online with x amount of sites in 24 hours. Now that is key. Good luck in your ventures in Alabama. I dont know how this got so big, sorry.

Hey Peggy, I'm going to call you right now.

Thanks

Travis

I would keep blogging -- going to event, networking, leave your business card everywhere -- and call past clients to see how they are doing... simply cast a broad net.  One real estate agents got metal plates to put on his car to show his listings!

Hello! Thanks for adding me as an associate ( I just added you also!). I have all my past customers in a data base and I do mailings to them about 6-7 times per year. I always receive something from that. Give the some new info or just reintroduce yourself if you have never done it. And alway ask for referrals. E-mail me and I would be happy to send you a sample letter. Best of luck Brenda :)
