Why Did They Release A Great Territory? Posted: 26 Oct 2009 08:21 AM PDT I find this both amusing and shocking. People ask us everyday to put them on backorder for great territories and then when a territory is released, inevitably someone asks……. “Kent, if the territory is so great, then why did they release it?” Is it a good question or an excuse to let opportunity pass you by? The reality is what do you care? You know in the world of business as in our own personal lives, things change. Circumstances change. People move. A loved on passes away. A spouse gets relocated. A bad business decision is made and it has a ripple effect. There are A MILLION AND ONE SCENARIOS. Rarely, do people release a 1-800-SELL-NOW territory because it didn’t work. In most cases, people cancel because they have something else going on in their lives that requires their attention OR they have never used the brand and feel as though they are wasting their money (they’re right). Either way, if by their releasing of the territory you have the opportunity to grab on to the opportunity of a lifetime, should you really care about the circumstances that created this very opportunity? I am often asked about the “secret” to our success in so many different areas. How is that we can excel in multiple businesses when it seems that everyone else is struggling? I would tell you one VERY BIG reason is that we recognize opportunities when they arise and TAKE MASSIVE ACTION IMMEDIATELY! I have a saying in front of me that says “Those who think it cannot be done are usually being passed by those that are doing it.” Ask yourself, what side of that coin do you fall on? So, although I understand inquiring about why someone released, I would NEVER allow someone else to determine my fate or future. This one thing is so ingrained in me that it goes against everything that I believe and the very fiber of my being. I WILL LIVE MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND SHOW MY KIDS WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE. If I feel like there is an opportunity in front of me that makes sense THEN I WILL TAKE ACTION. READY. FIRE. AIM. This is the secret to extraordinary success! Do not misunderstand my point. We will always give you as much information as is available to us about why a territory has recently been released. But, don’t be surprised if while we are answering questions, your competition is buying the territory. 1-800-SELL-NOW and all of its features is one of the best values in the business today. Don’t let that opportunity slip through your fingers.

Twitter Applications – Building Your Followers Posted: 26 Oct 2009 07:15 AM PDT Use Twitter For Business Many of you have asked me about the applications that I use to build our Twitter following. In case you missed it, Twitter is one of the hottest properties on the web today. This powerful tool can help to explode your web presence and truly generate hot prospects for your business. Think of Twitter like this. You are announcing to the world that you exist and that because you are a real estate expert – people should care about what you have to say You need to make sure that your “tweets” are relevant about real estate and ultimately are driving people to your business or squeeze pages that help to generate leads for you Tweets are limited to 140 characters, so they need to be short and sweet – but compelling 90% of your tweets should have nothing to do with your business or about you attempting to drive people some where – they should be compelling about you or hot topics that you have found about real estate Once someone begins to follow you – they should occasionally be driven (compelled) to check out site(s) that you are promoting SO, here are some cool tools to help get you started with Twitter and building a really good list that will respond to you TWITTERFEED.COM – Use this tool to setup RSS feeds that will “feed” tweets into Twitter for you – making your Twitter account “hands free”   HOW TO USE:  Setup any RSS feed from related source/subject.  Once you have the feed URL, you then go to Twitterfeed.com – setup the feed to come into your Twitter account every hour/2hours/3hours, or daily.  EXAMPLE: “Foreclosure” – have Google Alerts create an RSS Feed for the subject – cut and paste that URL into Twitterfeed.com and every 2 hours – you will be posting a relevant tweet on foreclosure – hands free TWOLLO.COM – Use this tool to follow people on Twitter that are talking about the subjects that you care about.  Foreclosure, real estate, 1800sellnow, short sales, reo, etc. etc.  This tool will go out regularly and find people talking about these subjects and begin “following” them.  In most cases, once you do that – they will also begin following you.  This is a targeted follower that is probably interested in what you have to say. TWITTER KARMA – Twitter restricts the number of people that you can follow relative to the number of people that are following you.  This prevents you from going and following 1,000 people just to gain a 1,000 followers.  Using this tool you can “unfollow” anyone that is not following you.  Freeing up spots to go follow people that will return the favor. We’ll talk about this more in Vegas. However, this is a real good place to start and get going.
