Seriously...Realtors, don't spend money on ads like this...

Real Estate Marketing Made Easy...A 30-Day Plan for Top Producer Profits Does your ad state that you are" the greatest," "work hard for your clients," "specialize in such-and-such properties"? Truly...all agents say something to that effect and honestly it's not all that interesting...or eye catching! Most people gloss over these type of ads since they are a dime a dozen. It's sad, because advertising ain't cheap, is it? So if you're going to do it, why not say something of value. For example, if you run an ad in your local paper or city magazine, tell people what's going on in the market and give them a reason to stop and read your ad! It doesn't have to be long and wordy (by all means, keep it brief), but a little section that gives a glimpse into something that local area residents would be interested in would be a key component. You could tell them what areas are selling, what price ranges, how to stage their homes for q...

Is your home party plan business failing?

I've done a TON of work with the home party plan industry and here's what I've found in the past nine years of working with and for them: 1. They want to succeed, they just don't get the right tools to do everything they can with their business. Why? Because many well-meaning mentors still use old and out-dated methods that most people just are not going to do. For example: Talking to everyone you know about your business...really? Only the most out-going (and dare I say, irritating?) people might be able to accomplish this. Another gem: Circle of influence. Yes, it's a great start, but boy-oh-boy can it be limiting. You have to get out there to make yourself known and it usually goes way beyond your own social circle. 2. They don't have lots of cash for marketing. Most home sellers make about $10,000 a year (or much less or more). It's just an average figure and one that doesn't give lots of room for spending money on marketing. Even $...

Small Business? Check Your Marketing Against This...

Great book! "Many great tips and tools for motivating employees and teams. Nice that it's a quick-book and I didn't have to read a 300 pages of fluff to get the information. Well written by an obvious expert." Marketing a business is and isn't much different than it used to be (how's that for commitment?) First: How it is the same: -You still have to get it out there and create trust -You still need to let people know what you're all about and how they can get it -You still have to spend money -sometimes- to get your business some exposure Here's how it's changed: -Getting it out there is more about connecting than advertising -Social media has changed the game -somewhat- -The internet has changed the game HUGE I visit lots of sites (and even brick and mortar businesses) that just don't seem to get it. They think plastering a Facebook logo on their site or commercial is all there is to it. Who cares? --Are you giving me ...
