A Good Lead is Hard to Find By Shannon Peel In school you may have read Flannery O Conner s short story A Good Man is Hard to Find In the story the definition of Good has lost all meaning and the grandmother doesn t know a Good Man from a bad one Do you know a Good Lead from a Bad one Ask Yourself How do I define a Good Lead What do I say when I ask for referrals What questions do I ask a person to qualify them as a good lead Find Good Leads Get Involved The best thing you can do is get involved in your community When I was apart of my community s minor soccer association people started calling me to ask me questions about the community beyond soccer because I proved myself as a community resource Whether it s within your church your rec centres or the schools help committees associations and groups make things happen

Good clients are referred by good clients Offer the best service you can ask for feedback to improve and ask them to refer you to friends How to ask for Referrals Identify a group of people Add a reason they need your service Tell them what you want them to do If you know anyone who has kids in elementary school and might be thinking of getting a bigger place please pass on my name Or If you know anyone who has kids in University and might be thinking of downsizing please pass on my name

Ask in multiple ways Add a line of copy on marketing materials and your email signature to let people know you appreciate their referrals It can be as simple as Referrals welcome to subtle Your friends will love my service to an incentive Ask about my referral rewards program Send a follow up letter of gratitude and ask them to tell their friends and family about their experience Explain why you enjoyed working with them what you liked or thought of them and if they know other people like them to refer Give them a positive emotional experience before asking for what you want Ask in person This is the most important way you can ask because it is a personal and you can tell from their behaviour how open they are to referring people Personal service comes when we Want Help Gathering Reviews MarketAPeel s Reputation Management services includes review gathering service to make building your online reputation easy Click the Peel to Chat

There is only one reason Real Estate Professionals fail — NO SALES. Without sales there is no cashow and without cash-ow there is no business. Most small business owners As a real estate professional your ability to sell yourself, your listings, and help buyers make a decision, will keep the lights on or shut the door forever. There is a lot more to be-ing a real estate professional than just sales though and since your attention can be divided between clients, paperwork, and your own personal mar-keting, you cannot be in ‘sales’ mode all the time, which results in a feast and famine existence.

How You Say itBy Likky Lavji John felt like he was al-ways ying off the handle with his team at work. It seemed like everyone was unhappy and no one was good at their job. Af-ter his team missed yet another deadline, he brought them to-gether to discuss the problem and nd a solution. He started the meeting by saying, “Well, you all did it again, missed the deadline and now we all don’t get paid.” He grabbed a contract and ipped the pages. “Stacy, do you even know what you’re doing? It looks like you slapped it togeth-er last minute.” The rest of the meeting continued the same way with others taking up the blame game to direct John’s attention away from them. John left the meeting drained and confused. He knew the team was made up of skilled and experienced individ-uals who should be hitting the team’s targets easily. Were they the problem, or was he? When he mentioned this problem to a friend, he asked, “John is ev-eryone on your team incompe-tent?” John assured them they were all competent and talented individuals. They just were per-forming below their potential. His friend asked more questions and listened closely to how John was telling the sto-ry. He then said, “If you criticize their work constantly, you are setting the tone and they will not performfor fear of being yelled at.”Click Peel to Read
