My friend and colleague Brad Carroll, CEO of Dakno, a Real Estate Marketing Company turned me on to something that was just so phenomenal that I had to write about it immediately. So often we talk about “leads.” I have even made the mistake at times of using this term. First, I want to apologize for the usage of this term. From here on out, I will make a conscious effort to forsake this term, because these are people looking for information. When I reduce them to a lead, I have done nothing more than make them a number, or put them into a category. The truth is these are people who want some information, maybe it is not specific to what you were hoping for, but have you ever thought that these people are asking for information from you because they find you trustworthy, you have relevant information on your website, or possibly they may have nowhere else to turn. Even if this is not the type of individual you were hoping to speak to, the fact that they contacted you puts the ball in your court. You have a responsibility to contact them, even if it is with a recommendation to someone else. To ignore these people is the worst thing you could do for your future business. These are people, these are people with questions, these are people with needs and wants, and they are looking for someone to help them. Are you that person? Watch this video, compliments of www.1000wattblog.com and I think you will see what I mean.

Answering every person who contacts you is the right thing to do. By not doing this you may be missing a chance to buy or sell and isn’t that what your there for. You can also become an expert in your community and many will call you to get your opinion on something and that is not to be missed either.
I believe that what you do reeps what you receive. So treat everyone as an important person and try to assist whatever it takes and it will reward you dearly in many ways.
