She's Not Me! I'm "Me!" It's Wendy!

Email Gremlin

I am all over the internet.  Just type in "Wendy Realtor Mary Esther Florida".  I promise I'll pop up on page one of google at least five times.  You'd think that would help when the seller lost my telephone number. It didn't.  Sad ending for me, happy ending for another "Wendy".  What happened?

About a month ago a couple contacted me who wanted to sell their home in Mary Esther Florida.  They had gotten my name from a friend who had dealt with me. I discussed their housing situation with them, and determined they probably needed to do a Short Sale. I explained the Short Sale process in detail, and immediately emailed them my Short Sale package. I sent a subsequent email with my listing documents. I didn't hear back from the Mary Esther sellers for a few days, so I called and left a message.  They never called me back.  I figured they had changed their minds.  Next! 

One month later, my assistant, Beverly, asked whatever happened to the couple from Mary Esther.  I went through my files, found their number and tried calling them again.  Guess what???  They thought they had been dealing with ME for the past month, when it was a different "Wendy"!  The whole time, they thought the other agent was the "Wendy" their friend had recommended, and the "Wendy" they had originally spoken with (ME). How could it be?!  They said they never got my emails and lost my telephone number, so they did a google search for "Wendy Realtor Mary Esther".  They said they found another "Wendy" and it assumed it was me! Apparently, she didn't try to correct their mistake- the sellers must have referred to our initial conversation. In a way, it is funny. My marketing efforts have paid off nicely... for "Wendy"!

It's Wendy!

#1 Lesson to Salespeople: Tell the Truth

  Steak

Yesterday a salesman and his associate walked off the street into my Rulnick Realty office, carting a bunch of meat for sale.  I didn't send them away, and say "No soliciting".  Believe me, I give anyone credit trying to work hard to make a living, in any economy.  The salesman said, "I've got an overrun in my steak shipment, and am trying to sell the rest for $3 a piece-- they normally go for $8-$10 each".  We were really busy at the office, I had just hired a new agent, and I only had a quick moment. I thought that price sounded like a deal, and it would be nice to bring home a steak for dinner that night, and to help out the salesman.  I told him, "Sure, I might buy a steak for $3.  This isn't a sales pitch, is it, where you're going through a sales program with me?"  He told me it wasn't, and asked where he could show me the steaks.  I was in a huge rush, but grabbed my pocketbook, finding exactly $3 in it!  I brought him into the conference room, and he opened up a box.  He laid out about 30 steaks wrapped in plastic, and he started describing them.  Uh-oh.... I could see where this was going.  I said, "Sir, I really don't have time to listen...  I am in a rush."  That didn't deter him, he continued on telling me about all the steaks and the quality, etc.  I pulled out the three dollar bills from my purse, and waived them at him.  "OK", I said, "I'll take one".  What happened next was very weird.  Both he and his associate looked at me, and looked at the dollar bills in my hand, up in the air, gesturing to give them the money.  They just stared in silence.  Finally, the salesman said, "We won't sell just one, you have to buy the whole case."  I immediately shooed him out of the office.  Lesson #1 in Sales:  Tell the Truth.
