Short Sale Success, Do Something Out of the ordinary
July 26th, 2010
We are going to chat about mindset once more today. We have noticed a trend on our favorite social media website, facebook. Coincidentally, facebook just surpassed 500 million users. So, that is a magnificent lead generation process on mindset Monday. Simply ask the 23 customers that we received through facebook and closed on.
The theory that we would like to chat about is that we have noticed lots of realtors on facebook that are complaining. We aren't mad at them because many of them are our associates. Nevertheless, we see a lot of the status updates about which bank you dislike. Also, there are lots of status updates asking if anybody has a good contact at this particular bank or that particular bank. In light of these facebook postings, we would like to transport people back to the January 2nd installment.
The theory that was discussed on that installment was to do something distinctive. This is not an installment to get mad at realtors. The objective is to not get trapped in a rut doing the same thing all of the time and hoping for distinctive results. You will have to do something distinctive.
One of the things that we advise to realtors is to chat to somebody distinctive at the bank. If you are wondering how to accomplish that, try jigsaw.com. We get emails all day for contact information. It is crucial to note that we will never answer with contact information, but we will usually answer with a suggestion to try jigsaw.com
Just one instance of doing something distinctive, Fred couldn't get a bank employee to stop talking today so he just started pushing buttons on the telephone. It probably wasn't the most grown-up thing to do. However, he was doing something distinctive. If what you have been doing is not getting you the results you desire, try something distinctive. The worst thing that can ensue is you will still not get the results you desire.
