michael krisa aka That Interview Guy® on the importance of working your past clients with your contact manager.
All too often we get caught up with the latest and greatest new technologies and in the process … forget that sometimes the easiest and best way of doing things is right under our very noses.
This thought occurred to me while Kayaking the Beaver River so I created this video for you to stress this very point.
Working your contact management software … HINT … if you don’t have one -get one … is one of those easy ways to generate business.
Why you ask?
Because these are people that you have already established some sort of relationship with.
They know, like and trust you which means you can focus your efforts on “How Can I Serve You?” vs. “Let me convince you why you should listen to me.”
Dr. Rober Cialdini in his book Influence speaks to this point when he discusses the principle of like.
We like to work with people that are like ourselves and staying in touch with your past clients is the easiest way to generate business because of it.

Yep. Contact Managers are cool not only for staying in touch with clients but for keeping your transactions on track
Good Stuff. I like the fact that I can import documents into that persons data file and have it on my computer and in her records. Less to carry to the office! Gee maybe someday I will not feel the need to contine with a paper file. Thanks for the tips and ideas.
Hey Carol,
The scary thing is that one day we will probably have implants put in at birth and not even need computers 🙁
Until then … enjoy the beach!!

Michael,
Loved your kayak. It matches my car! As usual you are right on target. Most agents with a database don’t use “groups”. Everyone in their database should be in one of 8 or 10 groups; like past clients, current buyers/seller,or raving fans. Each group should be tied to a specific action plan to help the agent stay in touch and continue to build and or maintain their relationship.
Keep up the good work,
Gee
Hey Gee,
