Ahhhh, music to a real estate agent's ears... "Can I have one of your business cards?" Or even better, "Do you have time to work with me?"Regular readers of my blog know that I vehemently advise against accosting people you meet with your elevator speech or pushing your business card at every poo...

As my loyal readers know (my, that sounds pretentious, doesn't it?), I recently re-entered the Wonderful World of Real Estate Sales, after two years away on a sabbatical WRITING about the Wonderful World of Real Estate Sales.

In early 2007, I held my first teleseminar entitled "The Seduction of Your SOI." Notice I didn't call the seminar "Successfully Marketing to Your SOI"or "Mastering the Art of SOI‑Marketing." In fact, I refuse to even use the term "marketing" in conjunction with the concept of pursuing business fr...

As many of you know, I've reactivated my real estate license after two years away. Go, me. You may also know that I'm going to do it publicly, sort of. For over a year now, I've been blogging obsessively about the virtues of running a business based on the personal relationships in your life, rat...
