It's very difficult to know in advance who might need your products or services. You have tom make a lot of assumptions and a lot of them will be wrong. A lot of reflexion and strategic thinking is made but action doesn't always follow. Small business is more about action that about strategic thinking. I see a lot of small business owners failing because they don't act not because they don't think.

I've been using this approach for years and have never had to advertise to be the top producing loan officer in the office. I have since retired from the mortgage/real estate business and have invested those commissions into other income producing assets. The system I used to keep referrals coming has become my full time business. SendOutCards will help anyone in sales or any business that needs referrals...and to stay in front of their prospects...to benefit.

I suppose that the obvious choices are mortgage brokers, home inspectors, repair people (many people make repairs before they plan to move), termite inspectors, and other services that people use right before they plan to sell or buy a home... just a thought... Thanks for sharing! Christine I hear ya Erik - real estate is a tough business!

What ideas do you have for a Realtor? Who is selling to my clients.....everyone in sales? My clients are anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Orlando area.

I'm not sure I have anything to add other than thanks for the refresher. Your article stood out amongst so much comfortable mediocrity. At the baldchemist we haven't used "targeted mailshots", may I call them that? But then again.... Thanks again for sharing your experience. You are welcome to use ours. Christine.
