Need Help Picking The Right Property Management Software?

My brother and I love software. There are times though when you just dread having to make sure you evaluate the software that you need. I mean who really wants to spend the time visiting website after website and comparing different pieces of software. Before anyone starts telling me all of the different sites available that compare software let’s talk about a few industries that it is hard to find software for: Construction Industry Medical Software Retail software All of these industries... 

This Just In… Generate More Leads

This Just In… Generate More Leads

In case you didn’t know it you need to be generating more leads than ever before. Most of us are facing a sinking budget or we are at a $0 budget so now we have to generate more with even less and unless you love making “cold calls” then the options you have are winding down.

So let’s cover a few things that will allow you... 

Dress Up Your Pages and Posts For More Conversions

Dress Up Your Pages and Posts For More Conversions

The phrase “content is king” rings loudly across the internet.  For the most part it is certainly true because if your content is compelling (and people actually view it) you can quickly develop raving fans across the globe.  But, the best content in the world can be hurt by poor presentation.  Remember in school when you had to to a term paper?  If you felt your paper was only average you might take the time to purchase a better binder to put it, make sure the cover page looked excellent,... 

What Are You Doing With All Of That Traffic?

What Are You Doing With All Of That Traffic?

Seeing your website and blog explode with traffic is a truly wonderful experience. Finally all the hard work of writing new pages, creating detailed ads, submitting to directories pays off.  You monitor your traffic nearly to a point of obsession, because you know if you can just get enough people to your website that the leads will just flood in! Strangely, for many, as the traffic increases, the lead count does not grow to the same degree.  Even hitting those great bench marks, like 1,000...

REO Buyers Aren’t Liars They Just Need to Be Asked the Right Questions

My brother and I hear all the time “Buyers are Liars” and these days we hear “REO\Bank Owned Buyers are Liars”. Ready for the truth?

Who cares if you were “Top Producer” get over it and start selling today

Who cares if you were “Top Producer” get over it and start selling today

That’s right I don’t care if you were a Top Producer and I don’t care what you sold last year. The reason is you can’t use that to sell homes this year. Just because something worked last year doesn’t mean it is going to work this year. By the way I don’t even know what a Top Producer is anyway so get over what this means and just start getting back to business. Why am I saying this? Well my brother and I have been doing a few training seminars on “12 ways...

No one likes being told what to do

No one likes being told what to do

Remember when you were a kid and your parents told you exactly what you had to do? You didn’t like being bossed around, told what to do, and having absolutely no power whatsoever. It was a feeling of helplessness. If you didn’t feel that way I envy you because my brother and I did and we always stuck together to see what we could get out of. As an adult no one likes being bossed around. Sure every once in awhile someone has to tell us how to do something that we asked them for but we...

Sharpen your skills, even the ones you think you have mastered

The 5th day of challenging yourself and learning new skills is upon you.  We hope that you have already started to see some changes in your business.  If you haven’t noticed any change, ask yourself the question “Have I really pushed my limits and implemented change in my business?“.  The pursuit of mastery is one that is often overlooked in today’s age of “I must have it now“.  Pursuing mastery is a concept that is evident in time honored traditions like the...
