thanks Chuck and David! When do I take people off the AutoResponder?

J_Barbosa — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:10:45 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to take a sec to Introduce myself. My name is Jason Barbosa and I just purchased my website. Searchkingstonhomes.com

I am very excited. I joined BRO last year and asked Chuck about money making websites when I saw his.
He told me to hurry and get one before someone else in my community does and I wouldn't be dissapointed. Soon as I saw it I knew it was an amazing tool, but I had just joined BRO so I didn't want to commit to anymore monthly services.

Luckily knowone did buy it here. Also have to thank David Waters to since I called him to ask him about it before signing on.

Anyways, I am very excited about being a member and getting to share information with the great people on here. I have already spent over an hour just reading posts and have got some great wisdom. So thanks to all those who share.

My site went live about a week ago and I have 27 Subscribers. This morning was the first contact that had been made to me. One Form Request and One response to the first Auto response Email.

I made contact quickly and have been communicating throughout the day with them.

The Manual says that once they request the marketwatch to take them off the Auto Responder.

Do we do this for everyone who shares their plan with us.

The guy that filled out my marketwatch, responded to my first email to him saying that he was not interested in me wasting my postage sending him stuff cause he is not interested in buying, but that he was looking for Multi Units at a good price........so if one comes on to send him the listing. (so much for not being interested haha)

So should I take him off the autoresponder then?? and just make sure to look for properties for him??
or do i continue looking for him and keep him on?

other person just built but might sell in the new year and wanted to know the price of a home on her street. So I am taking her off the list since I know that she is going to most likely sell in the New year, and will just focus on maintaining communication with her until then....

Am I on track here? just not sure if I take everyone who raises there hand off, or just when they share what they want with me.

thanks

Marketwatch follow up packages...

I know what we're supposed to send for the initial welcome package, but what are you guys sending for the follow up packages every two weeks (in addition to the property listings)?

Shake the Tree

I sent an email to my databas last night.

Just Wondering

Are you looking at a certain neighborhood to buy a home in?

Regards,

Debra

I sent it out to 300 people and got 33 to respond. A couple were renters (I referred to a rental agent) and I have responded to 5 but no further contact.

When they told me where they wanted, my next email was:

"How many bedrooms, baths, and price range? I will be happy to send you some listings."

THAT IS WHERE I LOST THEM.

Dean,
What should my next response be to keep them in conversation???

Thanks,

Keeping track of email conversations...

Justin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:43:33 GMT

How are you guys keeping track of email conversations with leads as you're trying to develope them into clients? I usually don't enter just names and emails into my database. I have a really hard time tracking conversations where I send a second or third response to them and then I don't hear back. Sometimes I'm able to remember to send a "Hey xxx, Did you get my last email?" Other times, I forget. I'm trying to avoid cluttering up my data base with contact info like J Smith, jmith@aol.com

Thoughts?

What's your ROR (Return on Relationships)

DeanJackson — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:36:33 GMT

I'm curious how close you came to 20% ROR this year...and what you did to get there.

Also...how many people you have in your Relationship Portfolio.

IDX Solutions...

Justin — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:56:07 GMT

Are there any good free IDX solutions out there? I was with KW so we had one for free but I'm leaving for greener pastures and I'll probably need to find something for IDX now.

Curious....price point of your leads?

Justin — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 04:35:06 GMT

I'm curious....for leads that request a MW or Home Loan Report or Guide ect, what price point do they fall into in terms of the price ranges you have set up on the form?

Is anyone using, with any success, ads for buyers or sellers, on Craigs List? Is so, would you be so kind to share what you are doing and the results?

The power of time off

DeanJackson — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:55:33 GMT

Do you ever think of taking a sabbatical?

What would you do if you did take one?

I'm starting to get curious about the idea...

9 little word email

Justin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:01:32 GMT

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd post something that might help some MMW members out there. When I've been sending out the following following 9 little word email:

"Are you still looking for a home in _________?" When I get a no, especially this time of year, I ask them if they are going to pick up the search again in the spring. 70% of my no's have said yes they will. Food for thought...

Need Help with Systems for all the programs

debradavis — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 03:52:19 GMT

I'd love to talk with someone who has all their systems set up to handle their leads and prospects.

I am also doin the Finding Buyer, Bank Owned Homes and Tax Credit Guide.

Your thoughts on how to organize this to get the most value from the system. I am my assistant, ha. I'd appreciate any help you could give me.

Thanks so much.

Need Help with Advertising board..

RonCedillo — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:56:56 GMT

I purchased a board at the local high school (donation) to advertise our company. It is used for High School football games. If you had this board what message would you put up. Keep in mind I am in the foreclosure capital of the country.

So upside down sellers is a big issue here.
