When I first began in real estate, I worked with two very experienced men in our office who had very different, yet successful styles. One was very direct and was the first to pick up the phone and have a direct conversation with his clients or with agents. Everything about his marketing was direct. He hosted fun, large-scale events and smaller dinner parties at his home. He also made a customized premium item each year and hand delivered one to each of his past clients. His clients really liked his direct approach and referred him tons of business. He also had tons of repeat customers. The other man in my office was very systematic. He implemented a By Referral Only program and he had templates and campaigns.
