While you’re at it, get all your information into your profile, make sure you have your name and full contact information. We don’t want prospective sellers to look at your profile and see incomplete information. Also, don’t forget that prospective sellers can email you directly from your ilovemyagent profile page, so please make it a priority to check your profile after you’ve entered all your information and ensure its accurate and complete. It is your responsibility to keep your page accurate and complete... any incomplete ones may be removed by us in order to protect the reputation of our brand.

Remember Gold members, apart from having unlimited recommendations online, priority in searches, and exclusive use of our logo on your marketing materials, you also have a very detailed profile to complete. It is there to talk for you and let you stand out as a professional agent of choice in your area. By searching you and reading your profile, prospective clients can really get to know you, like you and trust you enough to put you on their shortlist for a listing appraisal. This will save you time as you are more likely to be contacted by people who already have you in mind. Please make sure you fully complete your extra profile tabs... they can’t work for you if you supply incomplete information.

Oh and if you are not a gold member yet, what are you waiting for??? upgrade now!

Log into the site and find your profile, write down the url at the top of the browser that will take everyone direct to you rather than the main site. Gold members remember to add the logo to yours ( sorry silver members but use of our logo is exclusive for gold members only, you can add the link but no logo and change wording to silver membership until you decide to upgrade to gold). Here are a couple of suggestions you can cut and paste, or just make up your own….

The first thing to do is make a list of everyone you know who loves you already! These will be your easiest recommendations to get, depending on how well you have done in keeping in regular touch with past clients, will determine just how many easy ones you have but it should be easy to get 5 to 10 up there fast. Silver Members remember you can only have a maximum of 3, then to continue building your reputation on line you will need to upgrade to gold!

Firstly, write down everyone you know who loves you already, preferably past clients or other real estate or industry professionals you have done business with in the past. But if you are desperate you can use your family and friends as well. I mean, that’s the way it works in the offline world too. Now you need to call then all one by one, have access to your computer with a computer linked in ready to leave feedback for you.

Heres an example of the types of dialogue you could use…

HI Mrs ____________,

Karin here from ( use your company name). How are you? And chit chat about them…

When they ask after you and whats going on say

Have you heard about I love My Agent yet? Its designed to give consumers the power over building an agents profile and reputation…by getting them only to recommend agents they have loved doing business or at least liked…Anyway I have just joined as a (GOLD? SILVER?) member because I think it’s a great idea and you know how great I am at looking after my clients. I was wondering if I could count on a recommendation from you??

It will only take a moment of your time and I really would appreciate your assistance…I can type it all in for you - all you need to do is let me know what you would like to say and I can enter it now , apart from a few minutes now telling me what you’d like to say , all you need to do is to reply to a verification email that will arrive as soon as I have entered your comments. They won’t appear on my profile until you have replied but you can do that next time you check your email, it only takes a moment.

Great do you have a few minutes to do it now? IF YES proceed, if NO - ok when would be a good time to call you?…(Hint- focus on doing it for them, if they want to do it themselves it may never happen).

When a suitable time has been arranged hit the recommend an agent tab, and type in their name phone number, and email address. It is important to get all of these as random audits are undertaken …

Type in their comments and when you’ve finished ask them what rating they would like to give you..1 heart – recommend, 2 hearts – highly recommend and 3 hearts – passionately recommend! Then hit send... that’s it. Check the following day to see if its live yet, if not, call them back and find out if they got the verification email, and if not, get them to look in their junk mail/spam folder…

Then get onto your NEXT CALL!

Cant think of businesses that would be useful? Here are some ideas: accountants, solicitors, building & pest inspectors, removalists, schools, gardeners, cleaners, childcare centres, restaurants you love, supermarkets, greengrocers, locksmiths, maintenance men or woman, carpet cleaners, coffee shops, library card applications, newsagents with paper delivery offer, painters, architects, builders, contractors, plumbers, electricians, property managers, leasing agents, tutors, dace schools, sports clubs, mobile phone suppliers, landline suppliers, internet providers, video stores, favourite pizza and takeaways, best gyms in area. There... that should get you started!

Make sure these are businesses who really look after their customers, and that you genuinely love and establish a relationship with them….don’t just put anyone in there it will backfire big time… Later on, once you have an established relationship with them, you can explore joint ventures, joint events and tapping into their customer databases with a valuable offer, like a special report or something.

This is huge if you do it right!
