Don't be a Secret Agent

We all know we need to market ourselves so remember to promote yourself everywhere, and be unique.

Most of us have the same old advertising and the same as everyone else's.

Try something new and different.

Think about your responses when you are talking with clients/customers. If you meet or hear from someone new ask them "What did you hear about me?" not "How did you hear about me?" You will get way more info this way and maybe you can incorporate some of it into your marketing and promotional material.

Don't say "I did 100 hundred transactions/ends" - why not say "I was involved and assisted / helped 100 families move into their new homes" or whatever it is ........... it is far more effective. They don't care if you are Mr. or Mrs. #1 in Canada but they do care that you can help them.

When people ask you how you are doing or how business is, always be positive and upbeat. They don't want to work with someone who is negative or struggling or down in the dumps. Be upbeat and positive and for goodness sakes don't listen to those negative people around you! There are opportunities out there. Let your clients and customers know that you are in control, doing great and it will make them want to work with you. Keep your sense of humour!

Don't be a Secret Agent.

People love real estate and they want to talk about it. Where your name badge or the REALTOR pin when it is appropriate which is pretty much all the time unless you are partying or going to have road rage or something like that.
