eEdge training on Wednesday

This week on Wednesday at noon I am teaching an eEdge class. It is not a basic class (if you aren't yet registered or if you haven't spent more than 10 minutes in edge this is not a class for you) I will discussing how to get you @kwrealty email address into your outlook and/or your smart phone so that you don't miss a single lead email. We are also going to be discussing marketing in edge, how to set up plans, change those plans and add people to the plans you have created. Then at 3pm there is a webinar on eEdge put on by Maps, Danielle has been so kind to share her 8 weeks of coaching with the entire office. I sat in on the first class last monday and after about 5 minutes I went running to my office to grab my computer to take notes. This is a must bring pen and paper! I can promise you that this coaching program is one of the best I have sat in on, and I have been apart of many coaching programs. Beth, the instructor, walks live thru eEdge and provides all the little tips and tricks that we are still trying to figure out as ALC members.

 I urge you to take the time to train on eEdge. I have been working in the system for over 2 months and have generated 43 leads that I am talking to, emailing and showing homes to. Could you use 43 leads in 2 months?   Just a quick breakdown of what that means. The avg lead in my system is looking at a $200,000 home which is a $6,000 commission... if only 1/4 of those leads goes to settlement that is $64,500 in commission dollars!!!  Now I'll ask the questions again. Could you use 43 leads in 2 months???

Open house season, need signs?

A Realtor without the proper tools is like a carpenter without a hammer. Do you have your hammer? There are many things agents need in this business. 1. Sellers, 2. Buyers and  3. Signs. The open house sign is a must have for the serious agent. Don't spend money on a For Sale sign, you can get that when you get a listing, most companies will deliver in 24 hours. Open houses put in you direct contact with buyers who are looking to buy a home (that means commission dollars!).  Who the heck wants to be the agent who runs around like a mad person looking to borrow signs. Go buy them, they are cheap (they are only $32.50 for 10) . If you are going to do an open house, do it right. 10 signs, balloons, flowers, chocolate (no this is not a date), a sign-in book, sheets on the house, business cards and a Keller Williams Logo shirt. If you properly prepare you can get a great turn out. If you run around borrowing signs and putting them out 5 minutes before the open, well then you get what you get...a waste of a time going.


Lowen Signs

Corrigated signs 5 for $4.10 each or 10 for $32.50 (don't forget the H stakes (inexpensive ones - because they flex in the wind, the upgraded version does not) they also have metal signs and frames for $14.45 each.

There are many companies that have them, this is just one of the cheapest around, and great quality.
