Opportunities

Opportunities are everywhere - we just have to find them!

My SWMLS Policy Committee asked me to serve again as Chair, and we have a great new year coming up with policy making and implementation of some new changes. Change is always good. It's great being in the middle of it all, watching the ins and outs of procedure and being able to be a part of it.

Social networking - what a great way to touch base with past clients. I think that there is a new wave of communication that we need to be a part of.

I think the old method of hammering people's mailboxes with postcards is going to go away. I hope so for their sake and mine. Now if I could find out a way to get rid of all of these catalogues!

New ways to keep in touch - think ahead, be ahead of the curve. Everything is moving fast. Think - how would YOU like to have someone get in touch with you? Do you want to shove marketing at someone, or do you want to be able to touch and remind by way of your unique presence? Everyone can send out housing statistics...everyone seems to be doing so.

Thanks for the memories, and as we look ahead to 2009, let's think of new ways to re-shape and reaffirm how we work with clients and customers, and what we want them to remember us by. Let's become better educated and better informed as Brokers. Let's have a super New Year.
