No More Flyers!

October 5th, 2011 • By: woody Kristan Cole Team

Flyers Don’t Sell Homes? The ever changing real estate marketing world is exciting and just that “always changing”. In today’s “green” oriented world there is often a balance between “green” and proactive marketing. I’m excited to share our new sign rider below with text capabilities. Our research over the last year indicates we are 100 percent more likely to get calls from buyers if we have a text rider on the sign versus a flyer in a flyer box. This is a huge benefit to the seller in terms of both marketing and going “green” by eliminating flyers. We have added the below riders to both home and land signs during the summer selling season. This feature has maximized our ability to drive prospective buyers directly to our sales force so they can quickly and professionally address questions about your property. Our sales force then continually follows up with potential buyers. It’s like any sales industry, the more times we can get our sales representatives in front of buyers, the better chance we have of selling more properties. Over the course of this summer we have more than doubled the number of our listing that our sales force sold. Meaning we have sold over 40% of our own listings this summer by implementing prospecting based seller at a higher level. Our listings are selling for more money, in less time relative to our market as a whole.

Following the results of our research, we now have text riders on all of our signs, we stopped providing flyers, and plan to remove all flyer boxes.

BGO to Applicant Intro Letter_example

January 22nd, 2011 • By: woody NAIP
Hello Lucas,

Congratulations on your interest in the United States Naval Academy.

My name is Jason Woodward and I am the Blue and Gold Officer assigned to assist you, answer questions and complete the BGO interview portion of your application to USNA.

Application for the Naval Academy is accomplished on two tracks.

1.  Naval Academy Side:  http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/

A. Admissions board.  You must complete all required information including High School Transcript, Math and English teacher evaluation, SAT/ACT official scores among other items.

B.  Medical Evaluation.  When you have completed a majority of the application requirements you will be schedule for a physical and eye test.

C.  Candidate Fitness Assessment.  Basketball throw from kneeling, shuttle run, push ups, pull ups, sit ups, mile run.

2.  Nomination:
A.  Everyone should apply to their Congressman, both Senators and the Vice President.
B.  Other sources of nomination and their requirement may be found at: http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/steps4.htm

Last year over 15,000 people applied to the Naval Academy.  Just over 1,230 were accepted and began training on 01 July 2009.  You can get a sense of how competitive you will be and have many of your questions answered by exploring the Naval Academy Catalog: http://www.usna.edu/Catalog

Averages for the SAT are 600 Math and 600 Verbal; ACT 26/26.  You can take either test as many times as you would like.  Your best score in either section of the ACT or SAT will be considered.  The United States Naval Academy produces warriors for both the Navy and Marine Corps.  Athletics and Leadership are as important as test scores and class standing.

After you have completed the majority of your application I will interview you in your home with your parents available.  Please contact me to schedule an interview.

If your goal is to become a Military Officer I advise also applying to the Military Academy (West Point) http://www.usma.edu/  and the Air Force Academy http://www.usafa.af.mil/ .  As your goal is to become a Navy or Marine Corps Officer I advise that you also apply for the Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship program.  http://www.nrotc.navy.mil/

Please contact me with any questions (email is the best option).  Good Luck!

Very respectfully,

LCDR JASON “Woody” WOODWARD ’99
Naval Academy Information Program
State Coordinator – Washington (412)

Team Huddle 8/12/2010

August 12th, 2010 • By: woody Kristan Cole Team
KCT,

I think we’re finding a rhythm with regard to our weekly team huddle. It’s great for me to have everyone in one place and get a feel for team interaction/ camaraderie. I also love the weekly public accountability piece, makes us think, and if you have not read the book “slightest edge” here is a quick summary. Basically, if you do a little thing every day which constitutes moving fwd you are always gaining a slight edge over the guy/ gal that is not. i.e. If you read 10 pages out of a professional development book every day, at the end of the year you would have read 3650 pages (if the avg. book is 250 pages that is 14.5 books). Each goal you set and accomplish moves you one step closer to your bigger goals.

YOUR WEEKLY GOALS:

Shanna: Practice Scripts
Jesse: (I forgot to come back to you, so I just did)
Kristan: 1-3-5 Vision/ 172 Tasks
Brad: Back on track with Jesse
Karla: put four names in my new contacts book
Kelly: learn to print flyers
Woody: 172 Tasks/ complete REO system

Also, continue to work toward understand the documentation model from MREA and start a system for working on step 1 through this busy season. If you have questions, ask and please bring your system to next week’s team huddle, it does not have to be complicate and if it takes you more than 5 minutes to put together your system for completing step 1, talk to me first.

COMPETITION!!!!
I have a $25 Miller’s Express Card for the first team member to correctly answer the following: (hint I gave you the publication today) *to keep it fair, verbatim is the only acceptable answer.

1) Seller typically began updating their home ____ to ___ weeks before listing it.
2) In today’s market, applying the following three strategies with your seller – _____________, ___________________, _______________ – could potentially translate into more money for your sellers at closing time.
3) Who said the following quote and on what page is it in KW Market Navigator. “Sales is not a complicated business and success in sales comes from keeping the four gears in motion fueled by your scripts and dialogues.”

2 More weeks of BOLD!

Thanks,
Woody
