- Today’s SOCIAL consumer wants to work with companies who create a powerful and enduring emotional connection – and that requires TRUST. Delivering consistent customer experiences that people want to talk about positively with others takes effort, focus, a strong foundation… and most importantly, it is remembering it is about serving people.We are going to cover FOUR Be’s today… So let’s start with the first BE!
- Building relationships online is just like in person.Be yourself.Attract people who want to work with you.Do business with them.Do life with them.Do more business with them and their sphere…You get the idea.The issue is that you have to TELL it … not just LIVE it… for people to KNOW it online.So, how do you do that?NSYou share your story.
- Building relationships online is NOT about selling. It is about sharing, connecting, and listening.We all know that people LOVE to hear stories… But what is YOUR STORY?when we hear this, most of us – freak OUT.I hear – no way, I am NOT a storyteller… no idea how I would even start!To which I reply – you have two ways to tell your story:you do it – every single day.you build a solid foundation (you want this anyway), create exceptional experiences (surely you desire this already), and nurture relationship both online and off… and OTHERS will tell your story for you.Most go for #2 – so that is where we are going to focus today.In the end – what we are seeking is to share (and have our stories shared) to connect with and inspire our world.but do our friends and clients KNOW our story? what are they sharing?Have we armed them with the right words? shared the right information?Where do we start?NSINSPIRE PEOPLE with radical passion
- Friends and family have CHOICES on who to work with… LOTS OF THEM.So, the new consumer INCLUDING our sphere has made it very clear that they want to be INSPIRED to work with you.They want to KNOW YOU, be delighted by an EXPERIENCE that inspires them to buzz about you online.To engage, inspire, and lead audiences – YOU must have (NS) a solid foundation.
- There are a few elements I would like to inspire you to reviewFirst is(NS)What is your purpose… your WHY.
- Define WHY you are in RE. (click to surround WHY)What drives you to do what you do every single day? This is not about money – that’s the reward for work well done.This the fire in your belly. The essence of YOU… and… (NS)What do you get LOST IN? Passion?
- What do you get lost in?What FIRES YOU UP?Define what you are passionate about and What do you do to add spice to your life? Hobbies? Wine, golf, music???For so long we have focused on gas in the tank… not filling our personal tank!infuse that EVERY DAY.Then…(NS)Define your values and revisit that list every year.
- Define your values and revisit that list every year. Values (mostly the order) can change… marriage, divorce, babies, layoffs….. illness.Adventure looks different and maybe places different after you have children or the nest is empty!http://bit.ly/d11valuesexerciseWHY do I have to do this? Well, it all informs how you answer some key questions in every day life that help start the buzz you desire!NS#1 question?
- The #1 question asked in the USA when people meet for the first time?What do you do for a living?

Are you okay?? Thankfully - Now – not so much! ****Encourage WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN? Instead…. For RE agents, that is followed by – what QUESTION??(NS) How is the market??How you answer these questions determines how YOUR community views the RE Market.
- How is the market??How you answer THIS ONE questions determines how YOUR community views the RE Market and shares about it.Whether you answer it in person or online… it MATTERS how you continue this conversation.So, how do you answer this question? (we used to say – wonderful, “unbelievable”, and so on)Now it seems we start with – depends on if you want to buy or sell…Then talk about Inventory, Days on Market… – (maybe Interest Rates)… BUT – those things don’t usually “inspire” people… they have heard them before.ADD IN:What you love about your community!ONE amazing stat about local growth, new schools being built, building permits on the books… you get the idea.Something specific… This clarity sets the tone and vision for your business and conversations both offline and ONLINE.…(NS)Now you have your solid foundation set… it’s time to start sharing

Let’s start with searching YOU… see if/what people are talking about you.(NS)Type in search.twitter.com and you will seeScreenshot of SEARCH
- If you use Twitter for nothing else, use it to learn from and share with others. Head to hashtags like #SMB or #smallbiz for advice, resources and current news of the small business variety…Interesting people to connect with if you are looking to build your office and organization with biz minded entrepreneurs!Heading to a conference? Search the HASHTAG and see who is going… again think #genblueDo research on the TOPICS being covered at the conference – fast way to catch up on the LATEST NEWSRESEARCH is a big activity on Twitter…Using hashtag to find conversations about what you want to learn about makes it easy as 1-2-3!Now what?

Twitter is GREAT for getting opinions and more people will reply if you make them FUN!Give AdviceDO Give advice, share yours and other’s blog posts, etc.When promoting a blog post, ask a question or explain what’s coming next… don’t just tweet a link. That’s BORING.Promote your passion:Instead of answering the question, “What are you doing?”, answer the question, “What has your attention?”Share the WHY behind your company… answer the question WHY would an agent WANT to work at your office? Do that with words, pictures (using an app like Instagram to capture moments and tweet them out is a perfect combo!), video… PLEASE - Don’t toot your own horn too much. No #1 nonsense. It is a turn OFF.Or, if you are just too excited you can’t help yourself, try to balance it out by generously promoting the others as well!NSTalking to tweeps directly
- 50% of your tweets should be about engaging OTHERS…When they start with an @ symbol – they filter out of the main stream and only appear in the streamOf tweeps you share in common – and in your stream on your profile!If you want it to appear in everyone’s stream… just add a (click) dot in front of it and it will go into ALL of your followers streams.Still shows you directly engage, but shares the message to ALL NSAMPLIFY OTHERSWhy and how?

You can convert your LinkedIn group members to promoters and advocates for your brand.RE IDEAS:Growing your RE businessBuilding a strong referral business(What are YOU passionate about sharing??)• Merely starting a LinkedIn Group can be of no avail unless you effectively manage the group after you launch. Here are some useful tips and suggestions to help you manage your own LinkedIn group and derive optimum benefits.•The most critical part of successfully running your group is to have a competent person to lead and manage the group. If you represent a repute brand or fairly well known company, select a spokesperson that can function as the face of the group and actively interact and engage with the group.
