What would your business look like if you could make 100 contacts in a week? What would your life look like if you could list 16 new homes in two weeks, close on three or have an $80,000 week?

That’s exactly what associates are experiencing in the seven-week BOLD Program from MAPS Coaching.

BOLD stands for Business Objective: A Life By Design. The goal of the program is to help you to align your mindset and your skill set into a conscious set of behaviors that will position you to best achieve your goals and desires.

Question: What is a re-tweet ?Answer: A re-tweet is when you post something on your Twitter profile that you saw on someone else’s. The purpose of a re-tweet is to share with your community something that you learned or found interesting. The proper etiquette for a re-tweet (RT) is to say “RT @their user name:___ repeat their message.”

As a general rule, it’s best to eliminate all ’sales’ language from your tweets. Use Twitter to SHARE and give valuable information, more sales will come!

We’ve got agents becoming more involved in Property Management. While I understand KW doesn’t have guidelines, how is it recommended we handle the mulititude of smaller checks that come through in the winMORE system. For example, we have one agent who is representing a client with multiple properties. She gets 10% of the rent monthly. The only way I know to handle it now, is to do a DA for each payment. This leads to lots of work for $100 checks. Is there a better way?

Our market center would like to do a live internet broadcast of the Team Meetings.   Can any recommend a very low cost way of doing this?  Is there a good website that will explain what is needed?

Thanks,

Recognizing technology’s powerful potential, Keller Williams associates created eAgentC™ — the Electronic Agent Consortium, an agent-focused technology group. The research, training and tools eAgentC provides let agents fully leverage technology in their businesses.
See for yourself in the video below!

A few of our most recent innovations include:

• Agent Websites – we provide every Keller Williams associate with his or her own agent website template that is easy to setup, customize, and use to capture leads.
• ProManage – we partner with Top Producer to provide an exclusive contact management system that executes The Millionaire Real Estate Agent’s lead generation principles.
• KWLS – we maintain our own Keller Williams Listing System (KWLS) which automatically send your listings to online marketing vehicles such as Trulia.com, Google, and many more! Your clients will appreciate knowing that you advertise their homes nationally using the power of real estate listing aggregators.
• My Listings, My Leads – Any lead generated from a Keller Williams listing – including those that come from KW.com – is routed back to the listing agent.  Would you expect anything less? You’ve earned the right to list your clients’ property, so in our book, you’ve earned the right to all the leads. We bring this philosophy to every technology solution we build.

As a real estate agent, you spend considerable time branding yourself among peers and in your local market. Now you can brand your Facebook page using a customizable vanity URL. What’s a vanity URL? A typical URL for a Facebook profile has a random string of numbers following the “.com/.” Now you are able to create a URL based on your name, your team name, group name or even your market center – it can be almost anything! For instance, the Facebook page for Your First Home: The Proven Path to Homeownership is www.facebook.com/YourFirstHome.

Simplifying the URL will increase your searchability on popular search engines, such as Google, make it more memorable to your clients, and simplify the look when you add it to your Website, business cards or marketing pieces.

Steps to getting your vanity URL*:

• Click on the box at the top of your homepage that says “Set your username now.”
• Choose either a recommended username or create your own custom version (keep in mind usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period (“.”).
• Once your username is created, your new URL will read facebook.com/yourusername.
• Remember, you cannot change it, so type carefully (Tip: type it in Microsoft Word for spell check capabilities, then copy and paste it into the custom creation tool).

*If you have not created a Facebook account, new users are not eligible to claim their username until June 28.
