Short Sale Success, Do Something Uncommon
July 26th, 2010
We are going to chat about mindset yet again today. We have noticed a tendency on our favorite social media website, facebook. Coincidentally, facebook just surpassed 500 million users. So, that is a wonderful lead generation technique on mindset Monday. Merely ask the 23 clients 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. Still, we see a lot of the status updates about which bank you can't stand. Also, there are a lot of status updates asking if anybody has a good contact at this specific bank or that specific bank. In light of these facebook postings, we would like to bring people back to the January 2nd episode.
The theory that was discussed on that episode was to do something unique. This is not an episode to get mad at realtors. The goal is to not get caught in a rut doing the identical thing all of the time and hoping for unique results. You will have to do something unique.
One of the things that we advocate to realtors is to chat to someone unique at the bank. If you are wondering how to do that, sample jigsaw.com. We get emails all day for contact details. It is critical to note that we will never answer with contact information, but we will usually answer with a recommendation to try jigsaw.com
Just one example of doing something unique, Fred couldn't get a bank employee to stop talking today so he just started pushing buttons on the phone. It probably wasn't the most grown-up thing to do. Nevertheless, he was doing something unique. If what you have been doing is not getting you the results you desire, try something unique. The worst thing that can happen is you will still not get the results you desire.
