Hi Brad,
How did you fiind the ITI class with Tom Martin?
I would like to take that class and I can’t find the information.

Good catch on the spelling. And thanks for the comment. I especially like the dancing on a floor covered with golden buckshot. It underscores the need to be fleet of foot in our business as it changes rapidly.

What does the left half of my brain do when the right half is busy? Watches in wonder…

Tell Bear the wunderschnitzel dog to chew your tassled loafers. Wingtips don’t taste as good.

Dude,

First, it’s “elixir”, not elixar.

But no matter how you spell it, we all still gotta drink from a fire hose before we know we are drowning, and then, finally, we may begin to swim.

Mal has a great point. No matter how you do it, serving the client means facing them directly and meeting their needs: with great information, being transparent and available. I know you got that kung-fu under your belt, because you know it’s not the silver bullet that will create success-

…it’s the golden buckshot.

…and of course, being able to dance on a floor covered with it.

So, what does the left half of your brain do when the right half is busy?

I gotta go. Bear the wunderdachshund is chewing on my wingtips.

Brad,
Nice article and spot on. There is, however, one old thing that does work and that is service to the client. Our original purpose as brokers was to help the buyer or seller broker a transaction for which we get a commission. It is certainly easy to get caught up in all the technology and forever present cyber-activity…which can be helpful…but helping the client to achieve their goal should remain forefront for us. How we get it done will vary with the times and our inclinations.
Well done!
Mal
