Your friends are your biggest fans! They’re also the source of your best real estate referrals.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many people can you name who are famous but whose notoriety is not helping them… it’s hurting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the world of sales<\/strong>, and when I hear that word I cringe<\/em>, the biggest goal is to build up a ginormous pool of people who don’t just know you but like you! Even better? Make them love you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is this possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, it’s not<\/em> easy. It’s a lot of hard work and it doesn’t happen overnight. You must be proactive and plan for the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In real estate, my job is simply to serve my clients<\/strong> by offering experienced real estate advice in a friendly, professional manner. Is that enough? Not bloody likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most successful agents have boatloads of clients who think of them as friends, rather than merely specialized pros. Gaining that trust is step one, but building a bond of friendship is really the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Free stuff always works too, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being known isn’t enough.
