Effective Feedback

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

I have a question. 
Do any of the other VA’s out there (or agents that handle this piece on their own) think making feedback calls on showings is that effective? How often do you make these calls? Every 24, 48 and 72 hours? Or do you just make one live attempt and then send email requests […]

CRM - keep it clean!

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

What does your client database look like? Do you have a client database?

I have another cool link to share called Giveaway of the Day.

If you’re interested in search engine optimization, a website with a […]

Fun with Advertising

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

I posted this on my blog over at ActiveRain but thought those of you that might not see it over there would get a kick out of it too. This billboard hangs on the outside of one of our local shopping malls and I just had to take a picture. Clever advertising!

So You Want to Blog, Huh?

If you’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon and start blogging, consider why it is you’re doing it. Is it because it’s the latest trend? Everyone else is doing it? Or is it for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)? Perhaps you just want a venue to speak your mind. Whatever your reasons for blogging, you should […]

What do you do when your Internet’s down?

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Have you ever really thought about how important the Internet is to you and your business? Well, I got a real lesson in that recently. All day yesterday and most of the day today, my Internet was out. I could barely do any work at all! I never really realized that for just about all […]
