There was a cruise ship that broke down 3 hours before departure. In a panic the cruise line called out their "big guns" in-house maintenance crew who arrived with 15 mechanics and technicians that toiled away for 60 minutes.
No Luck, no repair.
In a bigger panic the cruise line Googled the best 5 Star maintenance crew and had them rushed out to the cruise ship. They arrived with all the latest high tech electronics and tools, digital this and computerized that, where they toiled away for 90 minutes. No Luck, no repair.
With 30 minutes before a fully booked boat was to … (14 comments)

"There's no App for what we do, it's time to act like it and communicate our value to the public!"
We interview a man who is very misunderstood in this “bonus” episode of our Mail-Right Podcast:
Greg Hague is known for his STOP ZILLOW Campaign, which is now his www.plantosaverealestate.com movement.
Many of you have heard of this, but may not know the full story. This is about reclaiming our industry as entrepreneurs and agents; an industry we naively gave away over the last 10 years. NAR, CAR and our local boards have their head in the sand, it’s up to us! Too … (0 comments)

Sitting Down At Over 2,000 Tables 
Facing often two opposite-personalities, yet both making a decision.
 
I've been in sales for over 30 years. I've attended college courses, read hundreds of sales books, taken many years of sales trainings and continuing education and even worked with business coaches. But none of that is unique. Experienced, loyal, organized, good communicator, great negotiator, skilled problem solver; all true, none of it unique.
 
What is a USP? What is your USP? A USP is your Unique Selling Proposition; those qualities, tools, strategies or guaranteed results you offer that none can duplicate. Better yet, your USP's are your stories, those … (9 comments)

Your Finest Cheapest Service Please...

Dear "valued " Realtor,
You have done a great job staying in touch with us. We have enjoyed your annual client appreciation parties and the occasional pop-bys with great treats and timely information.
 
 
Oh wow, and did you ever get us the great deal on this home 7 years ago, (remember when we were first time buyers without a clue?) Well, we have $140,000 in equity according to our Zestimate! Plus, our neighbor sold for $475,000 last week, we're a model match to them, but we have an upgraded garbage disposal, new filters … (7 comments)

usp: Real Estate Is Easy! - 02/15/17 01:54 PM
When the market is hot, Real Estate looks easy.
Maybe real estate is easy and it's people that are hard?
The number of agents goes up too!
(50% of the licenses out there are not Realtors ie. not NAR members. So not all sales agents are Realtors).
Here's the stats:
2013- 1.04 M. NAR agents and 2.08 million total sales people with a license. 2014- 1.10 M.  NAR agents and  2,20 million total sales people with a license. 2015- 1.23 M. NAR agents and 2.46 million total sales people with a license. 2016- 1.70 M. NAR agents and 3.40 million total sales people with a license. "at the end … (48 comments)

usp: It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer... (2 of 2) - 11/13/16 07:36 AM
Yes,
It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer in a Commoditized World!
(part 1: It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer (1))
 
For your USP, (Unique Selling Proposition), the answer is not an adjective:
“I’m personable”,    “I make friends out of clients”,     “I’m full-service”, "I’m #1 in ____”    or    “I close 300- deals per year.” "blah, blah, blah". The answer is not your resume' or these features. Because everyone can say: “I’m full service”, “I’m experienced”, “I’m #1 in something”, “I’m friendly”, “I’m blah, blah, blah!”. More importantly, these have nothing to do with the consumers' concerns. The consumer as a priority, … (2 comments)

Yes,
It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer
in a Commoditized World!
(part 2: It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer (2))
Consumers see all sales agents and Realtors alike. They have no way of knowing our differences from the outside looking in; we all do the same thing, the same way, so why pay more fees than necessary if the results are the same no matter who you hire? 
 
Here’s the problem with that misconception: Not all agents are created equal. Skills, training, experience, personality, commitment, communication skills specifically, tools & tech, areas of expertise, and so on. Also, homes do not have fixed prices, they … (4 comments)
