Today is officially my fourth day in business and I made my first virtual tour sale! I intended to get off to a fast start and still, I am a bit surprised by how fast everything is progressing.
Like others who begin this endeavor, I was a bit taken aback by the sheer volume of information to digest. I knew the best course was to just read, study and practice to get enough information to get started. I think I could study this material for weeks and weeks and still feel a bit apprehensive about getting out there and promoting my business.
I have learned over the years, that sometimes it is just better to "get your feet wet". I know I will make mistakes along the way, and I also know that I will learn and grow from those mistakes. So I just decided that I had enough information to get started. I don't think we need to learn every aspect of this business to get started. What we need to do, is to get out there and talk with people. A mentor once told me that "people do not do business with companies, rather people do business with people." Do you want to be another face in the crowd, or do you want to stand out and be recognised?
RTV has provided all the training,software and support to get started. It is ultamately up to us as dealers to "get out there" and get our feet wet. We don't need to "reinvent the wheel," we just need to go for it.
I am very confidant that this first sale is an indication that Connecticut Virtual Tours will be well received in my community, and that we can make a difference for so many agents struggling in this historic down turn.
Come on in, the water is fine!
