New ideas need audiences like flowers need bees. No matter how bright and colorful, they will die unless others work to spread them.

One year ago, I had lunch with “Bob” my brother’s real estate broker (Hmmm) who charges $250 per hour to learn more about consulting.
He was ahead of the curve. For 15 years, this has been his business model.
“Bob” has no other compensation model, except he does sometimes make a commission when his clients have picked a property to buy.
His business was down last year, but he is paid something for his efforts because he does not work on contingency of a closed transaction.
Let me tell you a brief story.
Hi ACREs,
Glenn just put up a new video "Let the Buyer Eliminate the Risk". Really good job Glenn with the dialog - I hope ACREs take a few minutes to watch it and pass it along.
Another great new video from Simple Truths: One Choice.
As the evolution of real estate brokerage changes, consumers will become educated. Property owners and buyers may choose traditional brokers because they do not know a reason to choose a consultant. ACREs need to briefly and concisely tell prospective clients two important explanations.
There are two WHY? stories
We need to tell the reasons that the industry is changing.
Also, we need to have a company or personal Why?

Great webinar today to kick off our monthly "Skills Series" whose goal is to take the concept of consulting and apply it in the real world to gain more business.
I've posted a video of my opening presentation. We are working on getting the audio of the rest of the session so if you weren't able to make the webinar today, or you did and want a review, stay tuned!
This is the video of my opening presentation which discusses my take on consulting with FSBO's and other do-it-yourselfers. It does NOT include any of the rest of the session. Hope this gets the wheels turning!
I'm sure some of you remember the old TV College Ad..."a mind, is a terrible thing to waste", don't you? Yes, and that Ad should have prompted ALL of us to improve our education, daily. Did we do it? I'm sure some of us did. However, what about our body? Isn't our body, "a terrible thing to waste" too? As much as we need to improve our minds with the proper education, we certainly need to improve our bodies too, if we are to enjoy fully, the financial rewards of being an ACRE.
