The Long Tail -- Why Selling Less is More

defaultI really enjoyed this book. It can be a bit dry at times but very good message.The book outlines how niche markets are becoming a powerful force. Consumers are demanding more specialized products and services, instead of the limited selection main stream industry/retailers are producing.

The information will keep you very interested. When you read it, think about how your Assist-2-Sell office fits with the long tail.

 

Jeffrey Gitomer's Little Black Book of Connections

defaultA big thanks to Dave Crumby in Phoenix for recommending this book.

One thing I have learned over the years is business is all about relationships. As the saying goes, it isn't what you know but who you know that is important. People like to do business with people they know and can trust. In real estate we like to do business with Lenders, Title Officers, Inspectors, Appraisers, and other agents we know will do the job right.

We also need to establish long lasting relationships with our clients. Establish good connections with your clients and the business and referrals will pour in. The beautiful thing about Assist2Sell is you have more opportunities to serve more clients and establish more relationships.

This is a great book that will open your eyes to the connections all around you.

 

MicroTrends---What is the next trend?

 default

Ok I have posted a few classics, now a newer book.  Micortrends by Mark J Penn. I just got done reading this book and enjoyed it. I'm a bit of a numbers guy so I was captivated. This is a great book for Real Estate professionals because many evolving trends and niche markets are outlined. The book can be a bit dry at times but over all was excellent. Well worth the time to read

 

A Classic -- Think and Rich

 default

This is a classic that should be is everyone's collection. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill . The title speaks for itself.  I had to post some of the classics.

 

The Secret --

defaultThe first post for books to read is The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. A great read to bring some focus and direction to your life and business. I get distracted by all the "noise" in the world. TV, Radio, Websites, and newspapers are constantly pounding us with toxic messages and negativity. Focusing on positive, empowering, and creative thoughts will change your perspective.
