Estate agents that get involved, get the problem solved
This news feature, like many before,
is on Twitter. Many estate agents have now set up their
Twitter account and are now being faced by the daunting task of
using Twitter to their advantage. Have they completed this task? A
small few have, many haven't. Twitter is like any other new social
network, it is intimidating at first, but like anything other tool,
instrument or device, it takes practice to get it right.
Firstly estate agents with a pristine profile will start to look
for people to befriend or follow. If you are stuck at this stage,
add us at www.twitter.com/RTechniques or go to Twellow.com for a
yellow page of Twitter users.
Once estate agents have a stream of twitter messages or 'tweets'
on their homepage, they find that many messages will be continuous
self promotion on a large scale. Estate agents should not be
deterred by this, behind all the self promoting messages are still
people that are tireless sending out promotional messages. Buck the
trend and send them a message. You'll find that they'll message you
back, and with enthusiasm.
What these 'Tweeters' forget is that social networking is about
creating connections between people. They see it as another
advertising medium where they can send out message after message or
estate agent promotion after estate agent promotion.
All it takes is one message a day to one person. Introduce
yourself and ask what they do. Estate agents will be surprised at
the variety of responses that they get back. Not every message will
produce a lead but taking that first step to start contacting
people it will kick-start the networking that estate agents are
craving for. Try dedicating 5 minutes a day or 5 minutes a week and
estate agents will be surprised at the responses that they get.
