Hear From Your Peers

“I started posting blogs, commenting and asking questions. Within 4 days of actively using Facebook, an old acquaintance contacted me via Facebook for a refinance. I would have never thought it was this easy! Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn will all be a part of my business plan for 2012 assisting me with my goal of doubling my numbers.”

“I have managed to set up a few appointments simply by following agents on Twitter and engaging in conversations. Never thought social media would be this big in our industry. It is clearly here to stay and will continue to evolve.”

“I have actually used LinkedIn as a way to find agents information so that I can call

on them…I use it sometimes for the contact info and I also review their work history so that I have knowledge of the

agent and I can better tailor the conversation.”

Compliance Tip Of the Week:

• You must have your VP website listed under the website section of your profile so there is a link back to your NMLS #, disclaimers, etc.
