Are you leveraging all the technology you can for your real estate business?

The Tied Down Land Line vs. The Mobile Smart Phone....let the calls begin!

I am often amazed by technology and often I can be resistent to change. This is a battle I sometimes have to face. What about you? Its like having a VHS tape player, then we changed to a DVD Player and now there is Blue Ray. Wow, just when I get use to using one thing, BAM! POW! KABOOM! a new better thing is out and available.

Last night I was at a restaurant and saw somehting you do not see much of anymore.....a pay phone. There they were hanging on the wall outside the restrooms, were 2 pay phones. I had to laugh as a young child asked their Dad what are those???? So often in life we understand that life moves fast. Technology almost moves as fast as our lives. If you blink you could miss it.

When it comes to your real estate business are you using technology to help you? Are you leveraging others to help you? Are you going to conduct business by using pay phones or cell phones? Are you going to have an old fashioned brick phone or a smart phone?

This is your time to make a decision if you want to embrace technology or run from it. A land line can limit you to how far you can go. A mobile phone is just that, it allows you to go anywhere. Are you going through each day tied down like a land line or are you out and about and mobile and can be anywhere at any time for any potential lead to any potential deal?

Now I completely understand that you can be on a call and the call can drop....with the famous NO SERVICE. However, you go ahead and make the call again. Its life we face things that happen. These things that happen are lessons for us to learn from. The key to remember is be mobile, be out there and things will happen. Make the call! To a Cash Buyer! To a motivated seller! JUST MAKE THE CALL!!!!

You will begin to realize all the great things out there to make your business run better, faster and smarter. As you network with others ask them what they are using to help run their business. You can get good ideas from everyone you meet. Be sure to network for deals, network for buyers but most importantly network for information!
