Flashback Friday… Want to get ‘Sold’?

I had to go there…  I have a few pet peeves, and one of them (maybe more than one) revolves around the language that real estate agents use when talking about what we do.

• I don’t like thinking of people as ‘prospects’…  I like the clients I work with, and I don’t see them as just a paycheck.
• I don’t ‘sell’ people houses…  I advise, facilitate and market… but I can’t bully or browbeat someone into buying a house they don’t want.
• I don’t ‘cold call’…  I don’t like having people call me about things I haven’t contacted them about, so why would I think it would be OK to do the same thing?  I would rather provide information and let you feel like you can call me without getting pressured.

There are more…  Here is the post from last year.
