Ken's 6 Month Business Plan:
Marketing: Very simple. Very traceable. Very effective.
I will hang 1400 neighborhood newsletters every two months. Rain or shine. 8 neighborhoods. 7 in Naperville. 1 in Lisle.
The neighborhoods were hand picked by me. I have a personal connection to all of them.
Quality marketing+strong personal presence+quality product=huge business.

The power of writing it down. Put that up and make it the first thing you see in the morning and it will happen. Look forward to hearing your succeses
Sounds like a good plan. I actually have been to both Naperville and Lisle. Very nice areas.
Kind regards,
Manolis
good for you for making a plan and some goals, good luck!!!
Ken,
Great idea to put it in writing. Good Luck.
Got to have a plan...but can you survive on one transaction a month or about 12 transactions a year?
Hi Ron, Rosalinda, Jessica, Manolis, and Jaco. Thanks for stopping by. I knew it was funny to some. But I will do it. I promise.
Ken
you go for it .. I did this for about a year aside from being a business builder it was a great skill builder .. I had to learn to give that 30 second at the door speech .. really taught me how to connect with people
Hi Ron.
12 would be a great improvement!:)
Ken
Hi Eric. Thanks.
I have plenty of time on my hands. The ink is expensive. But worth it.
Ken
Ken, Nice goals, good luck, gain name (and face) recognition and you'll far surpass your 6 solds in 6 months. Mike
Hi Mike. I would think so. But I am trying to be realistic.
Ken
Rain or shine.
Hi Ken,
You're a brave man to hang newsletters in Dec and Jan! What about snow?
Respectfully,
Bruce
Hi Ken - If people see you out in the neighborhood in December and January, I'm betting you'll get a few more than six sold listings. And don't forget to plan a trip to Family Reunion in Orlando to warm up!
Morning Ken,
Good to see you have a written plan. I will be anxious to hear how soon you close the first six sales. Best of luck to ya.
Hi Hal, Bruce, and John. Thanks for stopping by.
I will have to pick nicer days in January. It can be quite cold!
Ken
Great Idea to put it in writing, there is some power to that. However, only 6 in 6 months? I hope your talking $600,000 plus listings!
Hi Michael. It takes time for such canvassing to drive in business. I would feel great with 6 sold listings in 6 months.
Thanks for stopping by!
Ken
You are going to physically walk these neighboorhoods and drop these off? You will know what the mailman feels like. Nice, agressive plan. What else do you have in that business plan?
Hi Patrick. Yes I am. Every time I do it I see many neighbors. Familiarity breeds comfort.
The rest of my plan?
I have a block party I will be attending in Wheatland South on September 13.
I have a Oktoberfest party I will be attending in High Meadow on September 27th.
That's as far out as I go.
Ken
Ken, looks like a great plan. Just go and do it. It is like blogging the more I do the more calls and listing and sales we have generated. Go Cubs I hope.
Hi Frank. Thanks. Cubs sure layed an egg last night. Perhaps they can rally.
Thanks again for reading,
Ken
Ken - good plan; lest us know what kind of results you get!
Hi Bobby. Thanks.
I must say I am getting much more productivity from my blogging efforts, but I want to be out there in many different ways.
Thanks again,
Ken
Ken its good to know you wont be napping. There is something about taking action. We tend to creat even more action.
Hi Scott. You must be a long time reader!
I wouldn't mind catching a nap. Just hung 100 newsletters!
Ken- great job with the plan. Straightforward with easy to identify landmarks. I am sure you will complete it and will reap the rewards for your efforts.
Best,
Scott
Hi Scott. Thanks. We are about 1/2 way there. The weather has been great. So far!
Thanks for reading,
Ken
Saw this and thought I would stop by and ask how it's going? Are you sticking to it any slips? Are you setting goals for further down the road?
Hi Charles. Thanks for stopping by.
I am right on target. I will be halfway done next week.
Longer term goals? Certainly.
I plan on being one of the most successful agents in the Chicago area.
If my daughter wishes, she will inherit my business.
I would like to buy a house next year for my family. That will take some work, but thats what I am doing.
Thanks again,
Ken
