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... 

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...

Being in the land of gurus I felt that everyone had mastered the latest of technologies available.  I knew that each one ran a major business online and to do such they had learned a myriad of skills and probably kept up on just about everything to maintain their competitive advantage.  Of course we were all there to learn more so it was revealed that we often share the same struggles with learning.  Each of the businesses operated in a different niche so they had different approaches to advertising,... 

I spent the last week in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  Many people I told that I was going said “that’s awesome; you will have lots of fun!”. I received some great tips on enjoying the beaches and nightlife that it had to offer before my trip.   I certainly was looking forward to fun, but probably different fun than what most people thought.  My fun started the first morning that I was there.  There was going to be a small group of online entrepreneurs gathered to learn from each...

I am being serious here. Many times in real estate I hear people’s goals of 24, 30, 60 or even 100 transactions a year and then I ask them their plan and it is made up of showing up to the office a whole 1 day a week. Now I am not taking a shot at those who show up every day, prospect, do their marketing, and work real estate I am talking about those who view real estate as a 2 day a week job where you can just make a bunch of money. This past weekend my brother and I were the first ones in... 

Rodney Dangerfield,"I get no respect" Rodney Dangerfield said it and in real estate we feel it all the time. We feel that our customers never give us any respect. We never get treated the way we want and we just kind of grin and go along with how people treat us. So how come with put up with it?
