Your sellers, buyers, clients & leads aren’t afraid to walk away…
…So make sure they’re not lead astray.

Question: are you a giver or taker this holiday season?

GIVE folks the right dose of care, nourishment and relevant information. And RECEIVE lasting results. See what we mean, below…

1) GIVE 10 minutes: Sleigh bells ring – make sure they’re listenin’!
Provide relevant information to 2 prospective sellers and/or past clients by adding them into your Seller’s Corner system.

*RECEIVE: Your website comes bearing gifts for both you and your clients. Delivering these merry updates will give your homeowners the information they need about home values, while simultaneously being directed to your personal website.

2) GIVE 10 minutes: Avoid being on the naughty list.
Reach out to one memorable client from 2016 reminding them of their value and your ongoing commitment to meeting their real estate needs. Request a brief testimonial from them endorsing your quality work.

*RECEIVE: A winter wonderland of approval. Even if it’s just one success story, these narratives further humanize you and build outside trust and recognition. Always strive to feature more reputable business highlights and affiliations on your website.

3) GIVE 10 minutes: Frolic and play, the realtor way!
Call someone once a day. Just say hello, start friendly conversation:
Any plans this holiday season?
Can you believe 2017 is almost here?
Do you have any big plans for the New Year?
The more you know about your clients and leads, the better equipped you are to meet their needs. If they don’t answer, leave a voicemail. Need scripted content to navigate conversations? Check out this Phone Script For Your Sellers and Phone Script For Your Open House Follow-Ups for guidance.

3 cont.) GIVE 10 minutes: Give your business card to 2 people this week.
Whether it’s at an open house, a client or homeowner you reach out to or cross paths with – this is your chance to engage in face-to-face encounters that put a warm and genuine image to your business.

*RECEIVE: Obtain insight about critical life happenings that will influence living situations for current and potential clients. And your efforts of contacting them will serve as a memorable (and favorable) lasting representation of your business. Enough said.
4) GIVE 10 minutes: Spread some cheer on behalf of others.
Promote other businesses that live up to your standards – and that your clients will appreciate (ex: reputable food drives for the needy, best gift shops, nicest cafes, tastiest bakeries, etc.).

Next, get creative. Think of another group for your contacts (ex: based on sports/athletic aficionados, pets-lovers, film buffs, etc.) Customize your e-mail marketing that reflects your versatility and range of satisfying people’s interests.

*RECEIVE: Enhanced branding of yourself as a diverse agent with a deep interest and consideration for your clients from all walks of life. And good karma when it comes to promoting other businesses- remember, what goes around comes around.
5) GIVE 10 minutes: Warm up to your clients on slower winter days.
Send out a personal holiday e-mail greeting sharing photos of you at your office, include quick home inspection tips for the rainy season (ex: checking leaky roofs), ask clients to send in photos of their home decorations and post your favorite on your blog. Share updates about neighborhood holiday activities. Come off as cozy, not “salesy”.

5 cont.) GIVE 10 minutes: Sneak a peek. No – not at the gifts under the tree.
Review your client tracking activity – take note of patterns in MLS searches and send out friendly reminders: I noticed your search history includes 2 bathrooms, you might be interested in these listings…. Stuff their stockings, while you’re at it: MLS Searches should not be at 0. Set up a few for clients based on their activity history. Make that list and check it twice!

*RECEIVE: Jingle all the way to 2017. Engaging with clients will continue to foster better relationships into the New Year.
