Isn't it funny how people think that being self-employed is so cool? They think that you get to take lots of vacation time and spend all of the profits. What they don't realize is that you put in outrageous amounts of blood, sweat, and tears to get there. They don't know that you have to take the blame for every single thing that goes wrong. They don't know how many times you fell flat on your face bef

The words that we see on paper or, for that matter, on many other media such as plastic, glass, wood or as embossed on visiting cards, is a technique made possible due to the art of printing. It is a form of technology that is defined as a process that helps reproduce copies of texts and images, mostly using ink on paper with the help of a machine called the printing press. This entire process is then term
Effective marketing produces results, not just activity. The best way to make your marketing effective is to make sure you understand the elements of marketing: the four P's of marketing.
Marketing is more than mere advertising. Successful marketing to Realtors means implementing a strategy. Using the four P's is one way of guiding your marketing strategy. The four P's of marketing are: Planning, Positioning, Packaging and Promoting.
Planning
A well thought out marketing plan is the foundation for your efforts. This marketing plan is your long term strategy of how you can attract the attention of Realtors. A good plan keeps you from making the same mistakes that most loan officers make: advertising not marketing.
Your marketing plan reflects the relationship that you want to attract and how you will attract them. When you have a plan of what you want to achieve, you can focus on how you will achieve it, and you know what you should ignore to keep from being distracted.
Positioning
The position that you want to focus on is the place you occupy in your prospects mind. Your position is a tool to reach your target audience. Positioning is your ability to connect with your target audience. You need to narrow your focus to position yourself as a specialist to that prospect.

One of my favorite moments on any project is the moment when, after spending hours investigating a process, an exhausted interviewee gives an exasperated gasp and says “Well, that’s the way we’ve always done it!”Most companies with a long and storied corporate history have a similarly colorful story behind their internal processes. System limitations, management fads and product introductions have

Do you know where in the office the most rumors are put out? It’s in the coffee kitchen! This is a place to gather in a company and you can learn a lot there. It is also the place where often mobbing starts. It is a place where employees feel kind of safe and not watched. There is a rule of thumb here: The worse the working atmosphere in the company the more frequented the coffee kitchens are.Manage

There is a story that, years ago a person high up in the U.S. Patent Office resigned. The reason stated was that “everything worth inventing had been invented.” That certainly was not the case as evidenced by my recent experience.I was invited to visit the Chicago “Casting Call” for “Everyday Edisions, ™” a TV show that airs on PBS stations. The format is similar to the popular “Antiques Roadshow

This is a true story.I was 25 years old when I answered an ad in the Toronto Star one day.It read "GROUND FLOOR OPPORTUNITY".

When you specialize or occupy a position in the prospects mind, you establish yourself head and shoulders above the competition. If you do not spend the time to focus your marketing efforts, to position yourself, your message becomes diluted.
Packaging
Your materials are often the first thing a prospect sees: your website, newsletters brochures, postcards, etc. They form an impression based on these materials of your service. As a loan officer, these materials are how you package your service.
Professional designed materials convey an impression that you are established, credible, and stable. It also makes your brand more memorable, and reinforces your brand image.
Promoting
How do you promote your services? Your promotion establishes visibility for your brand identity. To attract and build relationships with Realtors, they must be comfortable and believe you to be trustworthy.
Promotion is a matter of repeating yourself through every medium available. That means making clear, concise materials that use opportunities available to reach your target audience. Again, think about your specialization and develop promotional materials for that audience.
When you develop a solid marketing plan that uses the four P's of marketing, you attract the attention of your target audience: your Realtor prospects. A well developed plan at marketing to them distinguishes you in a crowded field of loan officers. Your prospects focus on you and your brand with the guidance of the Four P's.
