Got Apps?

I admit that I am a tech junkie, and anything new by Apple is on my must-have-now list. You may think that these things have nothing in common with real estate. Not so. The iPhone is a perfect example. When I heard about this marvel of technology, I ran to AT&T to get on the list to get one. They told me I was nuts, and THEY had no idea what I was babbling about.

Skipping forward to the three billion apps that have now been downloaded… I find that anytime, anywhere I am, seminars, supermarkets, book stores, dentist or doctor office, I have the perfect opportunity to market myself and real estate. I look around, see who has an iPhone (always one, usually more) and ask “what’s your favorite app”? This provides me with a perfect opportunity to speak with someone I don’t know, about something we have in common. We exchange favorite apps, and we have a chance to discuss our approach to discovering the extent of possibilities of iPhone uses in our everyday life. At this point I give them a business card, get their information I always have new apps to add to my growing app collection. What a social network! You have real time face-to-face contact with someone, you never would have met. This is cold calling without the anxieties or door shut in your face. More »
