Hey, that's me! My good friend Rich Gaasenbeek of IXACT Contact asked me some great questions about SOI and contact management and I must admit, I'm rather enamored with some of my answers. Enjoy! If you'd like to do a 60-day trial of my new favorite contact management system (that would be IXACT...

It's something we all struggle with - that fine line between being the very best real estate agent we can be for our clients and creating an atmosphere that is ripe for burn-out. While our clients have every right to expect our full attention, and they deserve to be our top priority, there's jus...

Last week, we did the first 2011 Rookie-to-Rookie show in the SWS Virtual Studio - that is - we brought in a few newly-non-rookies (agents in their 2nd and 3rd years) to share their secrets of success with the audience, which was mostly comprised of first year agents. We talked non-stop for 90 m...

A few times a year, we host what we call the "Rookie-to-Rookie Show" which is a teleseminar panel discussion with three or four newly non-rookies who Tell All about their rookie year - with the goal of helping the newer members of our industry experience all the success and FUN they're hoping fo...
