Are you ready to quit?

Are you ready to quit? I received a survey this morning—perhaps you did, too. The survey asked a very tough question: Are you ready to quit?

That question always pops up, doesn’t it? It’s a tough one, especially when a deal goes horribly awry or when business gets extremely slow, money is just not coming in, and all the contacts you thought were future business dry up. You’re not alone in this; many real estate agents face these challenges.

However, that doesn’t make it any easier and doesn’t get you a closing.

Why aren’t there any leads coming in? And buying leads is so expensive! Isn’t there a better way to get business??

First thing – DON’T QUIT!! Reach out to your past clients and contacts. They could be a real source of future business. Staying in touch with past clients is a missed opportunity for you, as maintaining connections with past clients helps generate organic referrals and builds a strong reputation and trust in the real estate community. While agents often have good intentions, the demands of securing new clients and closing deals can overshadow this crucial aspect of their business.

Was the day of closing the last contact you had with your clients?

Don’t worry – even if it’s been years, there is still a way for you to get back into contact with them and restart your fabulous relationship.

Here are a few ways you can break the ice!

Don’t worry—even if it’s been a few years, you can still contact them and restart your fabulous relationship. Remember – they loved working with you!

Watch the video below for a few quick ways to reconnect. However, if you want to maintain consistent contact so you don’t have the embarrassment of reconnecting, Bild a Better Business can set up your monthly or annual marketing calendar, automated emails, cards, and postcards.

Bild a Better Business can also set up House-iversaries every year and reminders on your calendar to make a strategic reconnect phone call to your top past clients. If your CRM has a texting feature, it will also be set up to send friendly texts. If your CRM doesn’t, a calendar reminder can be set up, and you can send friendly texts, which usually get a great response.

Sandy, you've done an amazing job getting me "plugged in." I will certainly be recommending you!

Sandy at Bild a Better Business continues to amaze me with her expertise and generousity!

“Sandy Bild is the most efficient and effective assistant I have had the pleasure to work with. She is ALWAYS on time with assignments and is very proficient with her work. She is able to mutli-task and keep work-load running smoothly. One of the things I found most helpful with Sandy is that she keeps on top of my busy schedule and keeps me organized. She is self-sufficient and a self-starter. The experience she brings to the field is invaluable.”

“In the past 3 ½ years Sandy has worked with me, it feels no longer like it’s my business but it’s ours. Together we work perfectly as a team. I know my strengths and I certainly appreciate hers. Sandy has been able to take down my creative ideas and put them on paper to create what I believe to be an outstanding reflection of my business. She has given me the ability to focus on what I do best, sell real estate! Instead of me using my precious time working on the details of advertising, blog posts, researching the proper materials for keeping my clients informed, I count on Sandy for that task! Having someone who “gets it” and then put it into text and production is essential and she does that!”
