Short Sale Success, Do Something Uncommon
July 26th, 2010
We are going to talk about mindset once more today. We have noticed a trend on our preferred social media website, facebook. Coincidentally, facebook recently surpassed 500 million users. So, that is a great lead generation method on mindset Monday. Just ask the 23 customers that we got through facebook and closed on.
The theory that we would like to talk about is that we have noticed lots of realtors on facebook that are complaining. We are not mad at them because many of them are our associates. Yet, we see a lot of the status updates about which lender you loathe. Also, there are loads of status updates asking if anybody has a good contact at this particular lender or that particular lender. In light of these facebook postings, we would like to take people back to the January 2nd installment.
The theory that was discussed on that installment was to do something distinctive. This isn't an installment to get mad at realtors. The purpose is to not get stuck in a rut doing the identical thing all of the time and hoping for distinctive outcome. You will have to do something distinctive.
One of the things that we advocate to realtors is to talk to somebody distinctive at the lender. If you are wondering how to achieve that, try jigsaw.com. We get emails all day for connection details. It is important to note that we will never respond with contact information, but we will regularly respond with a suggestion to try jigsaw.com
Just one example of doing something distinctive, Fred couldn't get a lender employee to stop talking today so he just started pushing buttons on the telephone. It almost certainly wasn't the most mature thing to do. However, he was doing something distinctive. If what you have been doing isn't getting you the outcome you desire, try something distinctive. The worst thing that can ensue is you will still not get the outcome you desire.
