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.

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.

SELLER’S NET SHEET: There are quite a few sellers who prefer that the Seller’s Net Sheet NOT be prepared. A box has been included on the Market Center’s Net Sheet where Seller’s can elect to skip this form. 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. A document was attached to the forwarding email regarding multiple offers. The same document was uploaded to http://www.slidellcalendar.com/ under Documents, Sales Documents.
