Small Business Marketing – Apr 20 – Day 30 of 45 Days to Freedom Challenge
Yesterday started out a bit early at 8:10 AM.
I had some administrative stuff which had to be dealt with including billing clients, e-mailing my coder over in Thailand, and contacting one of my clients about a paper click campaign we’re looking to get started.
I had to prepare reports and charts to show the progress of my clients which always takes longer than expected.
I also wanted to talk with Josh who I met at Sente Mortgage yesterday about who created and edited their promotional video for their unlimited video marketing workshop.
So that ate up my morning.
Steve was very productive with high quality phone calls yesterday. He got done with 18 phone calls and had 4 warm to hot leads of people looking to move or buy property.
Andrew also made strides creating more Craigslist ads as well as getting our video homebuyer series edited and uploaded. Now we’re ready to unleash the full marketing campaign to promote these videos.
Continuing education is always something you want to be doing so I checked into a luxury short sale home workshop. This is the area of the market we targeted to specialize in and so these tactics will be highly useful.
Also set up an MLS search which will alert us to any status changes in the properties we’re marketing. This is just good business because when a property goes into a contract pending sale and is no longer available to buyers you don’t want to keep marketing it on Craigslist because it will upset the community.
Respect the communities you run in and communicate in. This is just good business 101 whether it’s a free website or something you’re paying $5000 per month for.
Barb also met a potentially lucrative contact who works out at the reserves at Lake Travis. He just sold a lot for $2.5 million and says he doesn’t have any realtors to work with so we’ll be following up with this over the next day.
She made a couple of other excellent contacts of potential sellers. And she also starts the Bold training program through Keller Williams tomorrow which should be awesome. She’s going to be focused on getting listings which means honing in on expired, canceled, withdrawn, and for sale by owners.
Times are getting more exciting as progress continues to be made. Follow all the progress on the 45 days to freedom small business marketing challenge over on twitter.
