For years I lectured at the pre-licensing classes of the the college professor who taught my own real estate pre-licensing classes. I hadn’t done this for the last couple of years, but I did a class on January 24th, 2008. We made a video tape of my talk, but I hadn’t done anything with it until Sean Purcell’s post, What\u2019s Your Six Month Plan?<\/a>, got me off the dime. Sean’s program is more thoroughgoing. I’m just leaning on a bunch of kids to get busy now<\/i>, rather than waiting for money to come raining from the skies six months from now.<\/p>\n I’m linking an audio podcast from BloodhoundBlog.com<\/a> and the video in iPhone podcast form from BloodhoundBlog.TV<\/a>. The video is basically just Fred Flintstone shuffling around and waving his arms around a lot, so you might do just as well with the audio-only version.<\/p>\n I know there are a lot of brand-new and soon-to-be-brand-new Realtors reading BloodhoundBlog, so I hope y’all take this to heart. We talk a lot about passive marketing here, but selling is always<\/i> active — belly-to-belly. If you can’t push yourself to get belly-to-belly now<\/i>, with people who already know and like you, you will not somehow achieve miracle results later by direct marketing, social media marketing or any other form of passive marketing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Technorati Tags: arizona<\/a>, arizona real estate<\/a>, blogging<\/a>, BloodhoundBlog Unchained<\/a>, phoenix<\/a>, phoenix real estate<\/a>, real estate marketing<\/a>, real estate training<\/a>, technology<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For years I lectured at the pre-licensing classes of the the college professor who taught my own real estate pre-licensing classes.
