Hey, Stephen here. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for attending the Twitter class at Grand Canyon Title's Mesa office. I told you when I announced the Twitter class (in the video below) that I was going to change your perception of this powerful marketing tool. So... did I? Did I change your perception? Do you now feel like you understand not only what Twitter is but how you can use it as part of your online strategy? I have a horrible memory. My … [Read more...]
The other day I was teaching a video class. To get an idea of where the real estate agents in the room are technologically I asked "who is on Twitter"?. Of the 40 real estate agents in the room, 5 raised their hands indicating there were on Twitter. I dug deeper. "Who has sent a tweet in the last week?". Crickets. Zip. Nada. Zero. "Whyyyyyyyyy?" I asked. The responses were telling. I hope you can make it. This class is limited to 10 agents, 1st come 1st served. For … [Read more...]
Maaaaaan If I had a dollar for as many times as I have heard real estate peeps say "Twitter is dumb" I'd be rich, well I would have had a few more Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte's from Starbucks any way. How quick we are to discount or discourage something we don't understand. Let me tell you a story.... {dream sequence} It was a cold December 7th - a Wednesday I believe. I was cruising my Twitter feed, catching up with what the Twitterverse has been up to. In the spirit … [Read more...]

Twitter is awesome, we have already talked about that in previous posts. We talked about the way I use Twitter in marketing title which is sharing links and monitoring. Specifically monitoring. I am a title rep for a national title insurance company based in Phoenix, Arizona. I help my clients-real estate professionals-get found on the internet. Twitter is a great way to "get found".

Twitter sucks! If you don't know how to use it that is. As a real estate agent or loan officer Twitter has some real world benefits for your business. The problem is that most sales people, whether in or out of the real estate industry have not been shown how to use it correctly. I am a title rep for a national title insurance company and I'm based in Phoenix, Arizona. I help my clients (real estate professionals) get found on the Internet). That being said, Twitter is not … [Read more...]
"Twitter is dumb" Of all the things I have heard about Twitter, this may be my favorite. It's funny how we automatically ridicule something we don't understand. I remember when we switched from Tempo to Flex MLS, it caused an uproar of monumental proportions in the Arizona real estate community. You really would have thought that the world was ending. Fast forward a little over a year and you would be hard pressed to find any REALTOR that doesn't absolutely love Flex and … [Read more...]
I was reading a question in Toplinked about a week ago regarding Twitter. I believe the actual question was ” “Raise your hand if you don’t really get all the hoopblah about Twitter”. I think I was the 100th person to comment on twitter (The first 90 or so evidently didn't get Twitter either). Of course, after I commented I checked the little box to notify me of future comments on the blog. Over the last week I have been absolutely amazed at the number of comments that say … [Read more...]
