Sharpen your ax and go forth with a better chance for success!

Sharpen your ax before you set out!
I
love to watch that show on television called the "The Big Idea" that
constantly pumps us to do something with our ideas. They showcase
young millionaires and get them to explain how they invented their
widget and how they took it to market and they always get them to tell
us how we can do it too.
Tonight, they had a success guru that had some good advice for all of us...
4 rules for success for your business
1. Don't make or accept excuses - take responsibility and learn from your mistakes
2. Think and plan strategically - do the right things consistently
3. Be patient but not complacent - work your plan
4. Lose your fear of failure - focus on success
Just having a good list to work on is not enough. You have to take the time, every morning or evening to THINK about what you put on your list first! Do the right things first, every day, every week, every month, every year.
And one more time in case you missed this last week... REMEMBER TO CALL ME TO HELP YOU, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR JUMBO BUYERS! My
Regional Manager said that our jumbo rates are kicking everybody's
butts right now so be a hero and ask your buyers in the $417K+ loan
range to let us give them a better deal than the competition. We love
to compete and we especially..
...love those jumbos!

Weekly Tip - Negotiations. The fun part of Real Estate.

Camp David Accords - Sadat, Carter, Begin
In successful negotiations, everybody wins!
Negotiations are the fun part of selling, right?
Well, they can be if you know how.
In
a past job as a Materials Manager, before I discovered the fun of
outside sales, I was responsible for purchasing of all raw materials
for a large manufacturing plant. This was the fun part of the job. It
involved working with sales guys coming in to sell us their products or
service and hammering out deals that saved money, improved quality,
reduced inventory, etc. There were always things to be negotiated and
in the end, everybody won, most of the time.
In real estate,
there are many ways to work the deal besides price as you know
including the timing, repairs, leaving appliances, seller concessions,
leaving the window treatments, etc. By having a better understanding
of how you can help facilitate the negotiations, you are going to close
your deals better and faster so your clients refer you to all of their
family and friends for years to come.
Here is a link to a ton of
resources that you cut and paste into some good marketing material for
your information that you can share with your clients as you see fit.
There is some FSBO related information too so use as you think you can
to help your sales.
