Office meeting notes 1/13/09

Congratulations to Evelyn, Dawn, Liz, Bill, Doc, Shirley & Mike for receiving excellent “Service Satisfaction Surveys” back from their customers. The excellent comments agents receive on these survey would make great comments to put on your personal profiles on your web page. Don’t forget “Passport to Success” tomorrow at Receptions in Eastgate. Tim Duncan has volunteered to drive his van so be here in the morning. We want to welcome new agent, Gail Ash, to the office. Please sign up to meet with Linda to do your Business Planning for 2009. Sign up sheet on side of mailbox next to her door. Please come prepared to meet. Check where your business came from in 2008, how much money you plan on spending on your business and how do you plan to do it. Linda asked everyone, in the meeting, to make 5 goals and then how to achieve them. Some of goals where to work on their data bases, keep them updated and classify them into group A, B & C. They also said to get more organized, do more networking, work on getting better computer skills, call everyone on their calendar list, update their profile page, give out more business cards, follow up with their school alum, family, friends and get a designations to name a few. They also talked about how Face book and linkedin.com was another excellent way to get involved and connect with other people. Rates are down so this is a great time to call your customers, especially if they brought a few years ago with a higher interest rate and suggest refinancing. This is a good reason to call and keep in touch and maybe their circumstances have changed and they are thinking of making another move. Don’t forget to mention to your first time buyers the possibility of taking advantage of the first time buyer money available until July. Mike did another demonstration of the exciting new electronic listing presentation, the benefit of the $99.00 enhancement on realtor.com, the one time $49.
