2 things to remember this holiday week…

Cold calling to clients – do you make this “politeness” mistake?

Want more respect? Speak the language of success
Do you ever feel like you aren’t getting the respect you deserve? Your speech may be the problem… I don’t mean your accent, but the words you choose to express yourself. Your speech patterns.

Do you use open houses to gather real estate leads?
Do you use open houses to gather real estate leads? Sometimes they work, and sometimes all you get for your trouble is a few hours alone.

I Met Some Go-getters Today
The economy stinks and people all over are out of work. But I met two young men today who are taking matters into their own hands. They came to the house to introduce themselves and deliver a flier.
