WHEN REALTORS CRY, or anyone in sales for that matter. Every REALTOR should read this article. As someone who reviews listing and sales folders I see the results of REALTORS not believing in their own worth in the amount of commissions they are willing to accept. I know it is enough to make me cry; how about you? Read what one REALTOR says about our business and see if she is talking about you.

PANDORA COMPUTER FREE RADIO. Pandora maybe one of the most unique music internet links online. You choose the type of music or the artist and it searches for that artist or type of music for other of the same genre. You can then select if you like it, thumbs up, or not, thumbs down. If you do not like it, the service will not play it again. It is free online. Now they are offering a radio that does not need a computer connection and works off a Wi-Fi connection and it is only $149.00 with no subscription fee or monthly fees or you can upgrade to the premium service as $36.00 a year. It appears you could connect it to a speaker system to high quality sound or listen to the built in speaker.

USING ALL CAPS ON EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS. IF YOU HAVE READ LAST WEEKS NEWSLETTER AND WATCHED THE DAVID KNOX VIDEO, DAVID CONFIRMED THAT I HAVE PUT ON SEVERAL (MAKE THAT MANY) OF YOUR LOVE LETTER REGARDING YOUY MLS INPUT WHEN YOU USE ALL CAPS FOR EVERYTHING. In computer language IT IS SHOUTING! In computer language when you use ALL CAPS, what do you do to put emphasis on a point your want to emphasize. If either of these two reasons are insufficient, think of this, ALL CAPS ARE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO READ; THAT ALONE SHOULD WANT YOU TO CHANGE TO NON-ALL CAPS EMAILS.
