Private Websites For Clients

Vince McEveety — Thur, 05 Nov 2009 06:38:59 GMT

Does anyone have a thread or even an idea on how to keep conversion of prospects at a higher percentage with a "client only" website of bank owned listings? I read something like this somewhere with someone who had something like significantly better results.... Anyone? Anything? (it was probably Chuck)

The 9 Word e-mail

Sharon Littlefield — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:10:16 GMT

Hi Dean,

While I was listening to your audio about the 9 word e-mail, I started going through my leads notebook, and started sending out e-mails one by one. Before your audio was done, I got a response! "Yes, I've expanded my search and I'm still looking."

You wanted to know what I would say next. OMG!!!!!!! I don't even know!!!!! Help! All of my first ideas seem lame. Like, "How can I help?" That sounds like the cookie story - too broad.

How about "Would you like to go out house hunting this weekend?"

Short, specific, to the point.

I don't know. What do you think?

Smiles, Sharon

finally results !!

I have to admit I have struggled a little bit with this program. Imagine getting leads and not knowing what to do with them.???? After the fourth/fifth mailing my listing prospects received their lottery ticket. I called about 20 people so far and some have asked for packages on line. Some love hard copying of listings. Some have asked me to stay in touch for listing in the future. Some have committed to me. But they all have one thing in common. They want me to stay in touch with them because I offered to help them. Man oh man I have to have the slowest learning curve in this business . I have one confirmed referral so far but I only see sunny skies when it comes to http://www.condosatwalkersline.com . It did seem to help waiting after a few mailings because when I called the recognition was there. This is a program you can make your own. Thanks for any feedback I received regarding leads and what to do about them.

response failure rate? getting listing/com

carl stars — Thur, 04 Jun 2009 20:09:23 GMT

Hello to all Getting Listing People. An update I know have 39 active leads and unfortunately since my December Mailings 8 people have listed . I have received no inquiry's of the 8 people that listed. After my third mailing I put the clients on a electronic newsletter that is informative ( figured it cant hurt ) I have not called these people as Chuck doesn't and I understand the labour intensive nature of this program pays dividends down the road. This month I am personalizing the mail out a little more. I will likely in close a cookie of some kind , coffee card / lottery ticket etc??

I am seriously considering calling these leads and making a inquiry( soft sell )
Are they getting the package, can I help them with anything? do they have questions?

However I would like feedback from the veterans as 8 listings I missed out on is starting to cause me some concern. These numbers are causing me some concern. Of course those 8 people could be looking for FREE info as well? I welcome all thoughts - Carl

My packages have a full colour page and do look professional>
Was it a mistake putting them on the newsletter.?

Feel free to copy your response to my email carl@carlstars.com

travel and coupon certificates

Bill Kraatz — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:14:54 GMT

For the past month or so, I've been giving away certificates from http://IncreaseBusinessSales.com for 3 day/2nights travel as well as certificates for $1000 in supermarket coupons and $1000 of restaurant coupons.

I gave all 3 to a client this morning for a closing gift and they were thrilled!! The cost? $.35 per certificate!!!! My closing gift this morning cost me $1.05 and the perceived value to the client was a couple thousand!!!

Has anyone else used these? I'm trying to develop and collect innovative ways to use these certificates to bond and build relationships with prospects. It's extremely cost effective marketing with a very high perceived value.

Tax Assessment Protest Help Postcards

Vickie Hall — Mon, 04 May 2009 23:24:02 GMT

Have you ever had a postcard campaign offering your clients/sphere/farm help with real estate comps to protest their real estate tax assessment?

If so, how did it work? Would you be willing to share your postcard?

facebook

carl stars — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:25:12 GMT

I havent got any constructive feedback on facebook on the active rain site. other than dont do it? Has anyone notice a increase in business. Yes I do recognize awareness but my IT guy pointed out many negatives . He feels if your blog website is set up properly facebook is the last thing you need?

Any thoughts?

Has anyone figured out a logical application for twitter when it comes to real estate?

Zero Down Loan Question

Susan — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:00:27 GMT

Hi All,

I'm working with a lender who can help me field my "NEW HOME LOAN" requests from my website and I have a couple of questions I couldn't find answered anywhere else.

1. Do you guys just forward on the emails from folks requsesting this info to the lender and have them do the follow-up? I would be somewhat uncomfortable having a convo on loans as it's not my area of expertise.

2. Do you guys have anything you are sending out re: this? Loan tip sheet? Just curious. If so can you forward to me at susanlawver@gmail.com?

3. The website talks about No Downpayment programs that are no longer available. How do you guys deal with this? I know Dean says don't mess with a working system, but it does seem a bit shady. Do you guys ever get folks upset that there isn't a no downpayment loan? Thoughts?

Tour of Bank Owned Homes

Rick Cyngier — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:19:48 GMT

Hi Dean and Sony, you were talking about doing a "Tour of Bank Owned Homes", assuming these would include other distressed homes for the tour. Can you send either Kim or myself more information on how to set this up, and would it work with the higher priced homes as we are not interested in the homes being sold for less than $50k. Appreciate any feedback or direction on how I could help as a lender, perhaps having all of the tour participants being pre approved by me as a start, or reviewing any pre approval they currently have to insure validity and being current.

Hi Dean,
I am interested in your system but was told it would be advantageous to get it through by referral only. If I sign up for By referral Only, could I participate in your teleclass starting on February 19?

Thanks
