Marqeteer

Do you consistently ask for referrals? Ask for at least one referral today and make a point to ask for one every day consistently. In an age of information overload, it’s easy for people to forget a friend or relative who needs a realtor. Many times asking the question jogs their memory. Ask for referrals and make your marq.

Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually…have you “sharpened your saw?” Don’t forget to make your marq on yourself: http://rismedia.com/2010-03-06/4-ways-to-sharpen-your-saw-to-increase-production/

This is a wonderful article on the importance of your own daily personal maintenance and how it affects your daily work in terms of both attitude and overall production.   It’s been said many times before, but this is one of the best breakdowns of personal maintenance I’ve personally seen.  I hope you find it beneficial, too:)

You say you are a Realtor (or to use the non-trademarked phrasiology: Real Estate Professional).

Are you REALLY who you say you are?

This is the question most every new prospect has in their mind when they meet you. My hope is that the example in the video below will show why today’s consumer has become at bit, shall we say…paranoid. Even when it comes to familiar names.

Words are meaningless anymore. Consumers have heard it all before.

Actions speak louder than ever.

Let your music do the talking.

When it comes to your website, work with a designer who understands you. Too often you find random designers on the internet that are just looking to make a buck and will sell you a bill of goods just to get the job. Speak with the person who is going to be responsible for your web presence and trust your gut, you know more than you think you do about making your marq.

If you’re really good at what you do, you are inherently a competitive threat to someone. Don’t be paranoid, but do be wary of anyone quick to dismiss an idea or strategy that you truly believe will help you make your marq.

“Life’s not about being perfect. Life’s about getting better.”  – Colin Cowherd (ESPN Radio)

Do you have listings…or do you have inventory? How much does the word “inventory” affect your mentality toward your prospects and, therefore, your ability to truly connect with them?

Homes vs houses…treat them as homes and you will make your marq.

If there’s anyone in need of a genuine smile and words of truth delivered with compassion, it’s today’s homeowners.  Be the agent to do this and you will make your marq.
