The Rules:

• Some of what I say today is my opinion. You can probably do it bigger, better, or different.

• It is more about good content than

it is about technology.

• Anything I say today could be outdated tomorrow.

• Social media is a conversation.

• I am here.

Task Management

Clients:  Clients are anyone who I have done business with and as a result, earned a commission.       Sphere of influence Prospects:   Prospects are people I hope to do business with in the future.   This list includes:     CMA prospects, Orphans, Movers and Shakers

Family and Friends:   They should be on your mailing list too!  Sometimes they need to be reminded you are in the real estate business.

Out of Area:   These are past clients who have moved out of the area. 

Vendors, for people like painters, cleaners etc.
