Websites and Yellow Letters

I met with the broker today to discuss the possibilities about his new website. The meeting went fairly well overall. However, it seemed to lack focus, we were all over the place with our meeting topics. I like structure and agenda, I’m organized like that. So when we were discussing things at random, I felt like we were wasting effort that would be better spent focused. But despite that fact, I think we were able to gain an understanding of each other. He basically wants a website that has all of the bells and whistles a site that the largest Champaign Property Management company should have. And I think I was able to successfully convey that I could provide that for him. I didn’t sleep last-night as the hours were spent drafting a plan for his new website complete with new ideas, comparisons of the competition, etc. Now, I just need to submit a formal bid to get the gig. I need that gig for mo’ marketing money!

I’m starting to doubt my original plan concerning diversification. Because I don’t think any of my non-related real estate ventures have even close to the ROI that real estate wholesaling does. I may be focusing too much of my time in other areas. However, I need marketing money so that I can focus on real estate. Kind of a catch-22 I guess.

After the meeting I slept from 10am to 3pm (some of the best sleep I ever had), I had a meeting with my assistant at 3:30pm at the library to pick-up my yellow letters. On a side-note, what’s with assistants and tardiness!? We clearly discussed in an email last night that we were to meet at 3:30pm today, apparently somehow she interpreted that as 4:00pm. But even if she did, she was late for that too as she showed at about 4:15pm! Stee-rike ONE!

Hopefully, it was just a mixup on her part. But if it happens again…”on to the next one”.

I got the letters now, there all stuffed and hand-addressed and ready to go. All I need to do is buy the stamps for them and send them off. And wait for the flood of calls. In a box of 900 letters, surely there is at least 10k floating around in there somewhere.
