PQ Webinar Series - Using Blog Sites to Communicate and Gain Market Share

It was my privilege to interview Randy Eagar last week on a webinar discussing how to effectively use a blog -- and how you can gain market share in the process.  You all know that blogging is important, but most people really don't understand WHY it is important -- or what your message should be.

In this webindar, industry expert Randy Eagar discusses the importance of a blog and what you should be posting to make your blog stand out from the crowd. I highly recommend you take an hour out of your day and review this webinar...and then start implementing the concepts that we discuss in your own blog site.

For those of you who don't know Randy, he's an expert on SEO, blogging and lead conversion. Randy has been in the real estate business for over 35 years and has gone from sales agent to manager to President of one of the largest real estate firms in the Intermountain West.

In 1990 he wrote the popular CRS 206 Technology Course and built a software program called Financial Keys that he later sold to real estate’s largest software vendor, Top Producer Software Systems who later sold it to NAR.  His speaking career has taken him to nearly every state in the U.S. plus he has been a featured speaker in Puerto Rico, Canada, Spain and China.

Currently he spends most of his time counseling real estate agents as a Search Engine Optimization specialist.

Are you Stuck? Free Webinar to help you Make Money in 2012!

A common experience for all of us who live in winter climates is to get stuck in the snow--and the harder you try to get "unstuck" the more your wheels spin.    

This analogy works in real estate too.  I talk to agents and brokers all over the country, and many of them are stuck, too, spinning their wheels trying to generate some business to get out of the “snow bank” they’ve been stuck in for the past couple of years. I guess they could keep spinning … or they could wait until spring when the “snow melts” … or they could call and get some help!

I can and want to help you—there is no reason to be spinning out of control right now. There are buyers in the market, sellers that need your help, and systems that will help you get to them. Just as your clients need you to help and coach them through the treacherous real estate transaction, at Pinnacle Quest we want to help you. We are prepared to give you the tools, training and trade secrets that will help you get going again. If you feel like you are already going, then we’ll help you get going faster and more efficiently!

Take an hour out of your holiday schedule this week and watch this webinar we presented on “10 Secrets to Getting Unstuck and Making Money in 2012”

Get Your Head in The Cloud...and Make it Rain!

Message From a Mongoose!

Every once in a while I come across a new concept or idea that is worth sharing. Several months ago I purchased a copy of a new book called “Surviving Your Serengeti” by Stefan Swanepoel. Stefan is a real estate industry leader and one of the most influence people in our space. I thought perhaps this book would be another “how-to” regarding real estate trends, or “how to” survive the downturn, full of information, because those are things Stefan is knowledgeable about. I could not have been more wrong!

The book is a fable of a young couple who visits the Serengeti of Africa to explore and experience firsthand that beautiful land. More importantly, by observing the behavior and unique skills of several the animals of the Serengeti, they learn more about themselves and how those attributes relate to their own interaction with others. Further, they learn from the animals unique skills and strategies that, when understood, can change their own lives.

The book itself is a fascinating and informative read, but one of the best parts is that once you understand each of the seven animals, you are directed to go to www.WhatAnimalAmI.com where you can take a quick and easy 21-question quiz. After you complete the quiz you will be instantly notified which of the seven animals you most closely resemble, along with a detailed description of the character traits. I did it – and I am a mongoose!

Recipe for Success!

OK, so I like to cook! I’ve learned that cooking and baking are very different. I’d have to admit that I prefer whipping up a Cajun chicken pasta over baking a cake. It’s not that I don’t like cake, but when I cook I am able to create, to use my imagination and combine key ingredients that create unique flavors and ultimately a great meal. The greatest pleasure I get from cooking is not from the meal itself, however, but from the reaction of the people for whom I am cooking (my core value.) I love to watch other people enjoying eating my creations.

Success in real estate is very much like cooking. You start with basic principles that always work (the recipe), add some personality and a variety of new ingredients, add to that your core motivating values and a coach that can help you make necessary adjustments along the way, and you’ll be headed in the right direction.
