Thank you for the comment, Laney! Analogies are indeed very powerful. I think we tend to learn better when we discover that one thing is a lot like another.

Now I’m going to play some poker! :)

I don’t play poker, but love the analogy. Analogies are so powerful when you are aiming to get a point across and ensure that the idea sticks in someone’s mind. Thanks for sharing.

Holy crap. Will Jamieson? Great to hear from you, dude! Beers and chess sound good but I’m not where you think I am. I moved to shiny Winnipeg.

… But I’m not interested in reliving my personal life on my blog so I’ll send you an email.

Thank you for your comment, Gravity Gardener. These are good points. I’ve been looking at video for a while (but, unfortunately, haven’t had time to implement it).

Hey Hoos. You still in SK? How bout a couple beers and a game of chess? Be in your neck of the woods next month. MM1 forever.

Incorporating PR techniques along with the standard template website can set the progressive realtor apart from the rest in the eyes of the prospect.

3 Things that a PR campaign should have:

1. Satisfied customer testimonials – As clients close on their homes, the agent should ask for a small sentence or two outlining their experience and satisfaction with the agent. Placing these testimonials on their website can provide some instant credibility to the agent and their ability to service the customer.

2. Promotional video – A small 60 second video can be created in a professional studio for less than the cost of one direct mail campaign. Using an unbiased spokesman touting the agent’s strengths and experience can go a long way toward building an impression that can stay with the prospect for weeks or longer.

3. Real Estate Newsletter – Creating an e-mail subscription campaign to distribute information about the real estate market will continue keeping the agent in front of potential buyers and sellers over time. The agent is more likely to be contacted when the time is right as they have built a rapport over time.

Realtors need to do more than the traditional business card at the grocery store bulletin board to get new clients. Creating a PR campaign that creates a web funnel of prospects to your door is not as hard as it sounds and can cost a great deal less than the traditional marketing most agents are following.
