SURVIVE THE STORM...Look at some statistics.

The National Association of REALTORS tells us that 66% of all
the business generated by 95% of successful professionals
today comes from only four sources:
1. Family
2. Friends
3. Acquaintances
4. Referals from the first three.
It is *16 times more profitable to market to these 4 sources than it is to find new business.
What does this mean? It appears to mean that the "plan" will include time each day paying some attention to these VIP's.

This is a quote...with all the credit to Jeffrey Gitomer:

Your mother taught you everything you need toknow about connecting before you were 10 years old: Make friends, play nice, tell the truth, take a bath, do your homework.

What a formula for developing a career in real estate. In fact, what a formula for a marketing course in real estate.
