Practice what you say with your business cards

When you are exchanging business cards many times you will only have a minute to mention what your business is about. It is a good idea to practice what you want to say so you have the points down in a statement that has a little polish.

Here is a short quote to help you think through what you want to say:

"In a nutshell, that's what we do and who we are. Let me know if we can ever work together,"

Practice with some coworkers and friends so you have your polished nutshell statement.

Business cards for realtors - use photos ?

I just saw this interesting posting of question and answers on Yahoo.

Question:
Why do realtors have their photo on their business card?

Answers: (5)

  1. so you know what they look like.
  2. facial recognition - see a face remember a face- name comes after
  3. Because we realize that many times people remember the face before the name and in any sales biz recognition is everything!
  4. In addition to face recongization it helps while dealing with other Realtors and showing their listing(s). That way works as an ID as well a business card.
  5. Realtors are like little franchises. They work "WITH" the real estate company, they don't work "FOR" them. That being said, think of the many times you may have seen McDonald's advertising in a newspaper or magazine. They never forget to insert their logo, a Realtors' face is his or her logo. This is because as they are building their businesses, they would like you to recognize their billboard/face if you passed them on the street. This way when they are on their own and no longer working with ABC Realty, you remember them as an individual agent, not the company they previously worked with.

It pretty much follows our line of thinking.
