BOOK RECOMMENDATION – TRAINING CAMP By Jon Gordon. No matter what profession people are in or what hobby people pursue, a handful of people will become the best of the best. Training Camp is an inspirational novel that is a compelling read (for you know who, that means it holds your attention). What do the best do to become the best, to stand out from the crowd, to become the person of their desires? This is a book that everyone in our Market Center should read and study. www.TrainingCamp11.com

MARKETING TIP: Create a domain name and web site for your listing. DomainDad.com to my knowledge still enables you to build one free web site with each domain name you purchase. So your listing address is 123 Maple St, you purchase www.123Maple.com. Use the three page free web site to upload info about you and your new listing. Include the domain name on everything you do, create a sign rider that reads, “For more information, go to http://www.123maple.com/ For about $14.00 you have one more tool to use. I have found that the neighbors to your listing check it out first making it a great listing tool. Buyers write down address already as they drive by, turning that into a web site to remember makes it easy. It also impresses the Sellers.

REALTOR.ORG QUIZ ON NEGOTIATING: This is an 8 question quiz regarding negotiating with customers and presenting offers and counter offers. For what it’s worth, I scored 8 of 8 correct; the bar has been set. Go for it!

BROKER BIT - LEASING AND DUAL AGENCY: If you have a Lease Listing and are offering coop agents a small dollar commission expecting them to simply “hand over” the potential tenant for you to work, you are effectively creating a dual agency situation provided the coop agent does in fact “hand over” the customer for you to work. As such, you are expected to complete all the required paperwork that would be completed whenever you are a dual agent including but not limited to the Agency Disclosure and Dual Agency Authorization. If you are the coop agent “handing off” a potential tenant to a Lease Listing agent, you still need to complete the Agency Disclosure before you “hand off” the customer.

JUST SO YOU KNOW. It seems like so many things start in California. Three major boards have joined a new MLS service that has intentions of going state-wide. The goal of the service is to capture all California listings into one state MLS system. It launched on August 17th and apparently while it has great potential, there are new system flaws that need to be worked out. Like so many things, if it works you could probably expect someone to give it a try in other states.

Market Center Online Newsletter for August 21
QUOTE: “If you’re in sales, now is the time to sell. Sell better and with more passion than ever before. Start with existing customers. Serve them so phenomenally that they buy more and refer you to others. That’s not a change you can ‘live with.’ That’s a change you can survive with, even thrive with.” Jeffrey Gitomer

REACHING THE AGE OF NON-ACCEPTANCE; ON MY TERMS! By Jeffrey Gitomer. We all get older, that’s a given. The difference between folks is the way in which they accept growing older, or not. This is how Gitomer approaches getting older.
http://www.gitomer.com/articles/ViewPublicArticle.html?key=ajcdMibak3NLaI35lRIAog%3D%3D
This Gitomer refers to a self test you can take in regards to Achieving, I have provided the link for you:

MARKETING TIP #1: Create double-duty property flyers. When you create a property flyer for your listing, include information on your other listings on the reverse side. When a property owner asks why you do this when you are suppose to be putting emphasis on their property you simply explain that all your other listings have THEIR home on those flyers. If you don’t have other listings, put information about other agents in our market center listings. If all else fails use MLS listings but do not put the other agents contact info on them.
MARKETING TIP #2: When your listings are shown but no contracts received, consider asking your sellers to write an Offer to Sell and give it to either the buyers that looked at your listing or the agents who represented the buyers who looked at your property. It just may be that the buyer has cold feet or are afraid to make an offer thinking it may be too low. Get the ball rolling even if it is rejected.

The revised form has been inserted in the Listing Forms binder in the Resource Room as well as uploaded to http://www.slidellcalendar.com/ in the Documents/Listing Forms folder.
MULTIPLE OFFERS: With the market improving, we will begin to see more and more multiple offer situations. Multiple offers present ethical difficulties and you need to know how to handle them.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND EXCELLENCE. By Jon Gordon. Very good article and appears to be a great book recommendation.
http://www.jongordon.com/newsletter-081009-questforexcellence.html
FALSE EMAILS: Before you forward emails that appear to be real, check them out at http://www.snopes.com/. It has been my experience that about 95% of emails that are circulated are false or based on incorrect material. Granted, some of them you want to believe; others are hard to believe and for good reason.
MARKETING TIP: Co-branding. “Back in the day…” I worked out a deal with a local locksmith and created a size 10 envelope type card to give to MY buyers that promoted my company, me, and the locksmith company where the locksmith gave 10% off on the rekeying of their new home if they presented the card. I considered it a value added service, a chance to promote my service and the locksmith’s service and generally was a good thing to do because no one knows for certain who has keys to the home they just purchased. Be careful if you do this NOT to give the card directly to another agent’s buyer. You can give it to the other agent but not their buyer. Obviously you can give it to YOUR buyers.
MARKETING TIP: If you use a brochure box, put only about 5 flyers in the box with each of them displaying a bright colored small tab stabled to the flyer. The tab reads, “This tab means my supply of flyers is running low. Please call to let me know. Gymbeaux 640-3564” For you-know-who, put YOUR name and YOUR number on the tab. They may not be interested in your listing but you get the chance to talk to them and hopefully get them as a customer. What have you got to lose? It works even better on occupied homes when the homeowner can watch the number flyers in the box for you.
