Not too often does one find in their business circles something that is unique and different. Something that sets a new standard in the way information and news is spread. Well, I would like to bring to your attention two gentlemen at TBWS (Think Big, Work Small), Frank Garay and Brian Stevens.
Symptoms, Prescriptions and Side Effects
Watching TV in the evening, there’s a good chance that a new prescription drug will be introduced to you. The ad starts out with symptoms of a problem that Americans are experiencing such as E.D., stress, depression, etc. Then the miracle drug is introduced to us and in this section of the ad, it seems that the symptoms can be remedied. At the end of the ad, it finally gets to possible side effects that you can get from taking the prescription.
I have been busy getting trained at a part time job. It has been decades since I have had to “clock in.” And when I use to clock in, the time clock would actually stamp your time card which was made of paper. Now, you press a button and swipe a card made of plastic. Anyway, I digress………..
Ok, i tune in to watch Frank & Brian at Think Big Work Small every day. They are always great, but sometimes they really knock it out of the park (as in their FDIC/Indymac video), and is demonstrated in todays video (03/03/10). They actually show live taped video of Maxine Waters sparring with Ben Bernanke that will astonish you and leave you feeling frightened. It shows the total lack of understanding some of our top elected officials have with basic financial acumen. Please forward.
When was the last time that you updated your LinkedIn profile? Most people believe that LinkedIn is just a place to post their resume and proceed to leave it dormant for months and even years.
It is imperative to reach this rapidly growing community of over 57 million professionals (average household income: US $108,000), and find your potential client by a number of ways that I will share with you.
Rejuvenating Your Business
Rejuvenation often brings to mind plastic surgery. As a verb, to rejuvenate means ‘to become young again, to return to life or give new life or energy and to develop new youthful features’. Perhaps it is time to do a little plastic surgery on your business.
On Feburary 7th Frank & Brian sat down to write and produce a video that outlined the absurdly lucrative and onesided “loss share” agreement the FDIC made with One West Bank. They told the story from the perspective of an actual homeowner in Arizona. In a nutshell it appeared to us that One West Bank would stand to benefit from a foreclosure or shortsale in stead of a loan modification.
I still remember the week when 5 of our main lenders went out of business and my husband and I were scrambling to find new ones to replace them. All of our relationships with account executives went out of the window in an instant. You know how it is…That special relationship that you have with your specific AE’s.
Times are changing..In the mortgage industry and in the way we do business.
Five Reasons to Stay in the Trenches
I don’t know about you, but I feel that the competition is going to thin out even more in 2010. For many, last year and so far this year has been very challenging. I believe that we will continue to see challenging times, however; the strong will survive and here are five reasons to stay in the game.
In the coming weeks, I will be blogging about my life as well as other appraisers and how, because of HVCC, it has changed.
Recently I made the decision to take on another job. The appraisal requests I receive is very few. 6 in November of last year. 3 in December of last year and 3 in January of this year.
