So I'm finally able to sit down and reflect about 2008 and the upcoming 2009. (when January hit, my to-do list grew exponentially overnight!)
I'm quite content with my sales volume in 2008. I sold over 2 million in sales, came in pretty high in my company, and managed to work part-time assisting the commercial realtor in our office as well. When I look back and think about what I can attribute my sales to, it isn't the thousands of cold calls made and doors knocked on. I didn't have radio and TV spots and big billboards. (of course, the obvious question here is: what would my sales have been if I had done more of the prebeforehandmentioned things??) Mostly - it was simply the attitude. I was there. I was available. I was ready to help with a down to earth customer service approach. Sure , I did those things to get business - monthly newsletters, open houses, email lead follow up, etc. - but most of my success came in the simple belief in allowing good things to happen. Throw your desires into the wind and allow the river to take you along. I somehow acquired a simple faith to know whenever I needed some business, it would be there. And it was.
So it is with this same optimistic attitude I look forward to 2009. With a desire to get new ideas and systems in place, more training for better service and goals set higher. (Hey - got a new house - they gotta be higher!!)
It's gonna be a good year.
Let's get to work.
