Do You Know Where Your Contacts Are?

The Holidays are right around the corner!  And for real estate agents, there are so many wonderful “seasonal” opportunities to “touch” your sphere of influence and clients.

But just as you start planning to send those heartfelt Christmas and Hanukkah cards, spooky Halloween greetings, Daylight Savings Time reminders and Thanksgiving Thanks… Reality Hits You!

Your contacts are scattered from East to West, from your PC to your phone and from office to home!

You need those addresses, labels and emails before you can send the first thing!

Don’t worry, don’t give up!  There’s still time to get your database in order and send those Holiday Greetings… if you take advantage of a little help from your friends at AnotherME Virtual Assistants and a special discount!

 

** OCTOBER Database SPECIAL **

     40 Cents/Contact – includes entering name, address, phone & email

$25.00/Hour – Set up Email Campaigns, Postcard Designs, Mailing Labels, etc

PLUS …

  Custom Return Address Label Design with Your Order (5 styles to choose from)

Email Greetings are very popular today and there are so many types to choose from (I’m partial to the animated ones myself). However, if you’re thinking everyone might be too busy to read the e-mails that come through their inbox… maybe you should consider sending a real card by US mail!   Getting a card in the mail will be a pleasant surprise!   (We can help with that too!)

Call or email today – and we’ll get started!

What’s in a Name?

What’s in a name?  Everything – your reputation, your family history, your personality.  So why aren’t you using your name in your email address?

I see so many agents using MSN.com, Gmail.com, Yahoo.com, etc for their main email address.  It’s not the most professional impression.  How would you feel if you were conversing online with your bank and the account executive used Yahoo.com as their main email?  Not too confident?

Your Name

 

It’s easy to register your full name as a web domain!  So you can send emails from sally@sallysellsrealestate.com or sally@sallysmith.com.  If you haven’t, then go right her to GoDaddy.com and buy your name!

If you have an odd name or a different spelling – then buy a domain that’s easy for people to remember.  For example, it’s not easy to remember this email for Jane –  “jane@janelewczyk.com”  however, “jane@realestatejane.com” or “jane@contactjane.com” makes more sense when someone is trying to remember your email.

And then, you can forward that email address to your Yahoo, MSN or Gmail account.  It’s easy!

Your brand is your name/your company name… use it!

Happy Emails!

Agents! End the Spin and Win!

Are you stressed…burned out? Are you juggling too many balls in the air at once? Are you starting to resemble a “Plate Spinner” from a circus act? Do you find yourself running from one project to another to keep everything moving and everyone happy? Is it getting harder and harder to maintain peak performance without dropping the ball? Do you have a clue how much your time is worth?

This economy is forcing us all to do more with fewer resources and the result is our businesses are suffering, not only from the economic downturn but from our inability to keep the plates spinning. Agents, it’s time to end the spin and win! It’s time to hire a Real Estate Virtual Assistant!

What exactly is a Real Estate Virtual Assistant?

In a nutshell, Real Estate Virtual Assistants are independent specialists who outsource their services and are only paid for the time they spend on the specific task. It appears that as the “unemployment rate” for full- or part-time assistants has increased, the “employment rate” for Virtual Assistants has increased. The reasons for this are simple…

1. You only pay for the time spent on the task. This doesn’t include bathroom or smoke breaks, lunch or any other time spent doing something else besides the job at hand.

2. Real Estate Virtual Assistants (REVAs) specialize in real estate-related functions, such as website design, social media, marketing, closing coordination, email traffic, mail-outs, drip campaigns and many other services.

3. You don’t pay for health insurance, unemployment insurance or state and federal taxes.

4. You only use a REVA when and for as long as you need them.

5. REVA’s have all of the latest technology at their disposal including computers, fax machines, scanners, etc. all at no cost to you!

Don’t wait until all your plates start crashing to the ground and your business begins to lose momentum. Call me, Patty Griffin Keller at AnotherME™ (770.414.9393), and I will be happy to answer all your questions regarding the professional and courteous services we can provide for you. In the meantime, please visit our website at AnotherME.com.

Delegate So You Can Celebrate

As a real estate professional, you know that during the holiday season, your business begins to taper off while the stress of your personal life builds up.

Have you done your holiday shopping yet? What about wrapping all the presents? Which parties, company get-togethers, school functions and family gatherings will you attend? And of course, you’ve got to send your holiday cards, calendars and gift items to clients and prospects, as well as your family and friends.AnotherME Virtual Assistants

Back to your business… With the phone not ringing quite as much, this is the best  time of the year to take on all those administrative tasks you’ve been meaning to do; like working on your 2009 marketing plan, updating your contact database (crucial for holiday cards), revising your listing presentation, updating your buyers’ packet. Are your Listing and Closing checklists up to date? Do you have a “New Client Information” form?  Now’s the time to create one! (this is a great way to gather birthdays and email addresses)  Or perhaps get to work on that email campaign you’ve been putting off.

The holidays are for family and fun… and the perfect time to delegate those administrative tasks so that you can enjoy the season and all the special occasions. It’s a good time to start working with a Virtual Assistant who can  handle all the above-mentioned tasks, plus mailing cards and calendars. If you’ve hesitated in the past, why not prepare for the New Year by calling AnotherME and “Delegate so you can Celebrate!”

Let AnotherME help you put the “Happy” back in “Happy Holidays.”
