Monday Morning Wake-Up Call

Your Motivation, Inspiration, & Direction for the Week Ahead

 

Spring Back Into Action!

Good morning, everyone! Can you believe that it’s almost August? Did you take time for yourself this month? Are you well rested and ready for a great fall market?

 

All predictions point to a very strong market through the remainder of 2015. What an exciting thought! Are you ready? Here are some action items you can implement to hit the ground running:

• Have a marketing campaign laid out for the rest of the year. Don’t forget that your clients should get one marketing piece a month reminding them why you’re the best agent to handle their real estate needs, as well as the needs of their friends and family.
• Ensure your listing presentation focuses on discovering the seller’s needs, and then address those needs with your services and tools. If you feel like you fall short in this area, it might be time to sharpen those skills.
• Use social media to stay in touch with clients and maintain a constant presence. This is a great time to send a friend request to all of your friends, family and past clients.
• Plan a client appreciation party. The end of summer is a great time to throw a party and enjoy face time with those who know and trust you.

There are many things you can do to position yourself for success, and NOW is the time to lay the groundwork for the months ahead. It’s not too late to make this the best year of your career!

 

Something to Think About

NAR says that 10% of the people in your database will do business with you or refer business to you each year – if you stay in touch and maintain a presence throughout the year. How many people do you have in your database? 300? 400? 10% of 300 is 30 transactions a year from those you know! How do you stay in touch? One mailing a month that touts your service and results; four personal notes per year; two phone calls per year; one or two face-to-face meetings per year; and daily social media postings. Real estate is a contact sport!
