Humans should be human. 😉

Yes, this. I’ve never understood the “your website sucks” approach some writers will take. If that person receiving your note wrote that website and loves it, you’ve just lost any hope of working with them.

I like to take a velvet-paw approach. I’m complimentary, yet will give my honest two cents, if asked, in a way that makes it sound like a collaboration.

Exactly! Who decides in just four houses? I’d say that realtor boxed himself in, too. The pressure wasn’t on us, but actually on HIM.

And man, did he lose!

When we moved to the Cape, we looked at 11 houses in 2 days, before we decided on the one we’re currently renting.

I have ideas on how I can add to the team when I pitch. I don’t denigrate what they’re doing. I point out what about their company is exciting and interesting, why I was drawn to it, and how I think we can take it further.

Paula, I checked up on him today. He now runs a food truck. Not surprising, either.

That Realtor expected people to make one of life’s biggest decisions after only seeing four houses? That seems a bit rigid. I know people who’ve had a Realtor show them more than four homes in one day.

His loss. Literally.

When emailing potential clients doesn’t work, I’ll try mailing a package or calling. It never hurts to mix it up.
