Stop Giving Away your Commissions!

Feb. 24, 2008

I keep reading blogs and hearing in my classes about the number of companies (people) who want to get a piece of your commission.  My wife the REALTOR gets mail and email almost daily from somebody offering her a deal she just can't refuse!  Guys just stop it!  Take a look around you as times tighten up on how you can save money and prepare yourself if things don't recover as quick as we would like!  From companies wanting you to pay $40 a month to keep your contacts and calendar to the crazy amount of money people are paying for web presence, JUST STOP IT!

This company will blog for you, over here we have a lead company, oh how about getting you number one in Google, folks just say NO.

I teach and believe REALTOR's need to stop giving away their commissions to companies that will not deliver what they say they will and roll up your sleeves and work smarter.

I recently picked up a new coaching client who was spending $90 a month for in her words a "Suckie site", currently we are building a kick a** site for $10 a month.  Her opening email to me "you are awesome, and seem to be frugally minded (I don't know if frugally is a word?), so I believe this is a good value and I trust what you say".  I am sure she will be happy.

So guys take a look at where your money is going and who is promoting the "greatest thing since sliced bread" and be sure it's a service you can live without!
