For realtors the Internet can no longer be ignored. Significant numbers of home buyers on going online to do their preliminary research for real estate and agents. Recent surveys suggest over 50%.I personally know a number of local realtors, and it is interesting to see how some are easily adapting to this media, while others are sitting on the sidelines wondering why they are seeing a decrease in prospective buyers.The Internet is not going away, and if someone plans to make real estate
Scenario 1
A new mother has signed up to a message board you visit often. Her first post may sound something like this:
"I'm looking for a way to work at home, can anyone help me?"
Take a look at what you know about her. If she hasn't said anything but "I'm looking", then all you know is she is a mother in need of an income. That's it. So to reply with a plug for your business is not only rude, but also does not help you or the person posting the question.
Get to know this person first. Find out what her interests are. Signing someone up that's not interested in your product is a waste of your time and theirs. By showing interest in this new person, you are not only proving yourself worth of friendship, but also laying the ground work for future recruits from those lurking. If they see you give a general interest in the person, and spot your signature line, they are going to much more likely to join should your business be what they are looking for.
Also another point that needs to be made - never email or send private messages unless that person has specifically asked for this information. Word of mouth travels far, and people remember those that "spam" them.

Have you ever put on a jacket you haven’t worn in a while and found a twenty-dollar bill in one of the pockets? You'd forgotten all about it, so discovering it is like getting a gift. If you've been in business for a year or longer, you may have gifts in forgotten pockets — sources of additional revenue waiting to be discovered and tapped.There are four ways to increase your net profits: reduce costs, increase prices, attract more clients or sell more to existing clients. When you consider that it costs y

It results in one of the biggest breakthroughs my clients have.Once you know what an average customer is worth, one of the first things you’ll notice is that there is likely more than one type of customer coming to you.We reviewed the average value of a customer for one of my clients, discovered that there were at least 3 different types of customers, each buying a significantly different average amount, some were buying only

Have you ever come across a piece of mail that you almost threw away, but something made you open it up and read it? Then there it was -- sandwiched between the blah blah blah and the bigger- than-life promises –- a piece of information that was the very answer you had been searching for.Skepticism has caused many to automatically label something as junk or useless without even reading it. Instead of seeing the potential, we assume that there's a hitch or it's just another get-rich-quick scheme. Such w

Scenario 2
A new mother has signed up to a message board you visit often. Her first post may sound something like this:
"I'm looking for a way to work at home, can anyone help me? I might be interested in selling Candles or Children's Toys. Any suggestions?"
First and foremost, DO NOT reply with your Gourmet Food business or any other business that does not have anything to do with Candles or Children's Toys. She's already mentioned that she's interested in these types of products. Replying with anything other than what was requested can actually make you one look like a fool and two makes you look like you're not interested in anything else BUT recruiting. You didn't even take the time to see what she wanted in the first place. That doesn't seem like you care much about their wants/needs.
Scenario 3
Message Board Post:
"Hi, I'm interested in the Mary Kay business opportunity. Can someone please post a little more information?"
As mentioned above, do not reply with ...
You've got mail! OR I've PMed you! First of all it makes the business look "sneaky" like there's something secretive about the business. Secondly, she didn't request to be bombarded with emails or PMs. She asked that the information be posted there. Need I mention spam laws?
Lurkers...
There are way more lurkers on message boards versus actual posters. Some people just prefer to lurk and don't ever post. If you post the information right there, lurkers will see the informati
