What a great day we shared this week!  From the sales meeting with the Coldwell Banker Griffith and Blair team in Topeka, Kansas, to individual training, their excellent Chili Lunch with all their agents, and some one-on-one coaching, I thoroughy enjoyed the day!  Thank you John Green, John Ringgold, and all the CBGB REALTORS!
We talked about how to deal with both the opportunities and the challenges of our current real estate market.  REALTORS asked about how to better utilize email, text messaging, their smart phones, and web sites to keep in touch with their "Raving Fans," past clients and customers as well as their current sellers and buyers.  
I reminded them  to set themselves apart in everything they do!

• Get their priorities straight, beginning daily with what needs to be done for their upcoming closings, then for their current clients, and then for new customers! 
• Generate leads daily -- it's Job # 1 for all producers. 
• Do more with less! Don't spend money when you can do it better for less or free!  "Face-to-Face" contacts cost nothing but are priceless!
• Utillize the excellent tools available through their firm and their Coldwell Banker network!
• Expand consumer's options by knowing more about financing, foreclosures, short sales, REO's, tax benefits and programs, and their market than anyone else!

We discussed using the best tools available from smartphones to laptop and tablet computers, digial still & video camers, GPS's, presentation tools like animated PowerPoint presentations.  We discussed the hot topic, social networking, as a tool not a time-eater!  Use the best social networking tools to facilitate conversations, provide information, and make referrals easier to place than ever before.
Thanks, Coldwell Banker Griffith and Blair for an excellent day!
