Burned by the subprime mortgage crisis, banks and lenders have made it a lot harder for home buyers to get mortgage & finance. But for the right person with a solid paper trail of financial capability, it’s not so hard. As a matter of fact, banks have fully recovered from the recession, and are anxiously awaiting home buyers.

What’s different now is that a lender will need a sizeable down payment, regardless of other factors. Another noticeable change is that home buyers are playing it safe and heading for fixed rate mortgages. That is understandable given the chaos surround bad ARM loans over the last two years.

When it comes to the “follow-up” after you’ve gotten your customer, there’s a lot of this you can automate, of course. Autoresponders, for example, are a great way to follow-up with customers instantaneously in many instances. However, they’re not good for everything, and this is where being able to “man the phones” is going to benefit your business greatly.

When a person joins your list and takes whatever initial offering you give, they may need more than an email thanking them for their purchase or a welcome to the list message. In some cases, the follow up needs to be done by a live person one on one, over the phone. Let’s face it; have you EVER seen an FAQ section that answered every question you had? No. It doesn’t exist.

If you call someone live (or you have someone do it for you), the customer can ask whatever he or she wants to and get an answer immediately. Today, we live in a world of immediate gratification, where “right now” is the norm. To beat competitors, you can do things faster and better — and right now — with some live calls. Do things right, and you’ll stand out.

Print advertising

Marketing is visual. Individuals believe what they will see with their own eyes. Take some time to make a powerful print advertising campaign. Print advertising materials include flyers for listings, just-listed cards, business cards, letterhead and more. If you aren’t the artistic type, then it would possibly be worthwhile to hire a local advertising company to make materials for you.

Many businesses have implemented energy efficiency measures in their facilities over the past several years to help decrease operating expenses and aid the local and global environment. What a lot of these companies do not know is that sizeable federal tax deductions are available to them and also that time may be running out.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) provides generous, immediate tax deductions to businesses for making energy efficiency improvements to their buildings. The federal tax incentives center mainly on efficiency improvements to lighting, HVAC and building envelopes and can be as large as $1.80 per square foot.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 extended Section 179D and EPAct 2005 so the act will not expire until December 31, 2013. However, that does not mean that time may not be running out for some companies.

For businesses that implemented energy efficiency projects in 2006 it is probable they filed their tax returns before April 15, 2007. If they were unaware of the deductions at that time, they are now at risk of losing those tax deductions forever since the IRS only allows a three year period to amend tax returns.

In a meeting with my team of agents several years ago, I was laying out a new marketing strategy I wanted to test. One of my top agents appeared to disagree with my desire to test something new. I could tell just by his non-verbal cues that he wanted to leave things status quo.

Finally, he spoke up and said, “What we are doing right now is working. Why would we change it? As soon as we figure out something that works well, you immediately want to change it.”

The agent’s comments were sincere. I realized that I had not taken the time to see things from his perspective. He was thrilled that things were working well. Heck, he was selling 10 to 12 homes each month. He didn’t want to risk tinkering with our successful approach. I couldn’t blame him after looking at things the way he saw them.

I decided to share my thought process with the team. I went on to explain that if we continue to do the same things month in and month out, they would soon lose their effectiveness. That we must prepare for war in times of peace. This means we are required to constantly test new marketing and lead conversion systems within our business.
