Avaunt MarketingTip 2014By Geoff AllenCreative Director/Brand SpecialistAvaunt Technologies Inc.
“Customer point of view. Always. Filter everything you’re doing, saying, and pitching through that and you’ll improve just about every metric you care about today.”
With the growing emphasis on stage-based marketing, which involves catering your content and marketing messages to your prospects’ stage in the sales cycle, keeping your customers’ preferences in mind is going to become even more important in 2014.
We often market based on our own perspectives and experiences which lead to lower expectations when the client/customer fails to respond. Walk in your customers shoes and look for ways to stand out. Get a gimmick or something that sets you apart from the mainstream of brokers. Your website and all your marketing materials should look custom and unique.. that will attract ten times more than your templated approach to marketing.
Space is limited so reserve NOW!

Facebook Success Story!Tony and I re-met a friend (husband and wife) of a friend at a birthday party in Ballard back in January (I was friends with them both on FB). We spoke briefly about them buying a home in the next few months. I saw a comment she made in her newsfeed about finding their dream home on Zillow. I liked it and sent her a private message offering help with next steps including her husband and Tony in the direct message. I then asked permission to put them in touch with a local lender and sent their email to Craig with Absolute. He booked an appointment to get them pre-approved. Away we go!
Warm Regards,Marisa

CBD got back on the right track and had a record breaking January in Gross Commission Earned by our brokers. We are very encouraged by what we are hearing from our brokers concerning how busy you are. All indicators are leading us to believe we will have a similar year as last year. We are off a bit in unit production numbers compared to 2013, but we are making that up in our Gross Sales Volume increase. Read the NWMLS report to get a more details.

CB Brand Report - The Value of a Profile PageBy John James
If someone offered to hire you and pay thousands of dollars for your services to represent them in a real estate
transaction simply because you spent a few minutes of your time would you do it? Of course you would, since that is why you are in the real estate business. Unfortunately, there are a number of Associates that are missing out on being selected simply by not taking the small amount of time to setup their profile page on ColdwellBanker.com.

Here is a great example from Joyce Lowe, CB Danforth Federal Way Office. Click to the left to view Joyce’s sample preview file.
British Anthropologist Robin Dunbar has taught us that the primate brain on average can only have meaningful relationships with an average of 150 individuals. Some can manage larger numbers of relationships successfully but for the vast majority of human primates, the number centers around what is now known as “Dunbar’s Number”. Many other professions have used this number for event planning purposes. Wedding planners for example work on three hundred guests (150 for each of the individuals) and 150 for a funeral ? Well, what does that mean for your database? Noted Realtor and motivational speaker Michael J Maher, author of the best-selling book “The Seven Levels of Communication,” has reminded us that it is almost an impossible task for Realtors to manage databases with numbers much larger than 150 names in a way that allows you to be in the “flow” and result in significant repeat business or new quality introductions (formally known as the hackneyed word “referrals”).
What does that mean for you as a successful Coldwell Banker Danforth Realtor who plans to ensure that one’s database is properly managed, added to and provides an income for life? Click here to view Roger’s complete article.

GPS Escrow is now on Social MediaWe have active social media channels that provide you with interesting information from the world of real estate. Please take a moment to find us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and on our website blog. We promise only the most important and interesting content – or at least promise that it will be a quick read and something easy to pass on to your sphere.
CONCIERGE EXPANSION: Just to brag a little! Our Marketing Director is also now our Project Coordinator. Kudos to Mike Laverty for exceeding all requirements on our first two hands-on remodels: a swimming pool resurfacing and rehabilitation, and a major kitchen do-over. Hope to have before and after pix on the website soon. Just one more service your CBD Concierge can offer your home owners.
VENDOR CONTRACT RENEWALS: We are currently renewing contracts for our 200+ categories of vendor/ contractor services. If you have a favorite plumber, landscaper, carpenter,
bed bug detector, appraiser, etc., do them a big favor and recommend them to your CBD Concierge. We are seeing many requests for services coming through the CBD Intranet. Usually those services are available on the Concierge Website. If not, the Concierge Director can locate vendors, verify their credentials and reputation and connect them to you or your client. The Concierge Director will stay involved until you and your client are satisfied. Our Project Coordinator can also step in as needed.
NEW VENDOR AND VENDOR PRAISE: One of our new vendors is Peter Braun (Contractor), a very professional and diverse general contractor, available in
all areas. Check out his listing. Also, we received a very complimentary testimony as follows: “Coldwell Banker Concierge Service has been a great investment for Ellis Design Staging and Redesign. I have received several staging projects through them. I find the service very affordable compared to other “preferred vendor” type services that over charge and under deliver. There’s no high pressure, slick sales pitch either, this services is the real thing, I highly recommend it. Pamela Ellis”.
CONCIERGE SITE USAGE: Click onwww.cbd-concierge.com and follow instructions on “How to use this site”. If you need help anytime, contact the Concierge Director, Roy Kauer at: 253.332.3197.
Monday’s content is motivation based and on Tuesday there is something directed to real estate professionals. Wednesdayis Home Improvement and onThursday local real estate related events are featured. Friday is a bit lighter with the popular Crazy House Friday photo extravaganza or equally enticing “This Week in Horrible Listing Photos”. None of the posts are any real burden on your time and will be of interest.
Our social media channels provide a way for us to stay connected. Our effort, service
features and dedication to the important job we do provides a way for us to make a difference to you and your clients.
