On Scheduled Thursdays, we will be holding a marketing strategy workshop and agent training.  All new agent orientations will be held on this day as well.  New agents must attend both workshops, but it's not necessary to attend both in one day.  Agents can attend one workshop or both as seating allows.

RSVP is recommended as seating is limited.

There will be an alternate training day each month to accommodate those who are unable to attend Thursday sessions.

If you or a partner you work with would be interested in participating in these workshops as an instructor or sponsor, please call Ginni at 513-896-1200 or email at ginni@j2res.com.

- January 2008 vs 2007

As we quickly approach the next real estate season, most agents begin to plan their sales and marketing strategies that will give them the best bang for their buck. 

The problem most of us face is being able to separate or distinguish the difference between sales and marketing.  Not recognizing the difference can cost more money in the long run and result in less impact on business growth.

 

For the next couple of weeks, you will be receiving a series of emails ("Marketing for Success in 2009") that will help you learn how to recognize the difference between sales and marketing activities, determine a sales and marketing budget, implement a marketing plan that's easy to execute and follow through, and more. 

In addition, look for articles in the upcoming OwnerLand Weekly Virtual Sales Meetings and participate in our FREE Marketing Strategy Workshops. 

As you read each email and article, and participate in our free workshops, you will be able to plan your budget and marketing plan for 2009 more effectively and see an amazing increase in your sales and bottom line. 

 

You will also find how effective marketing doesn't have to cost a fortune...it just requires consistency, repetition, and most of all a plan. 

The following are being added to our weekly workshops.  Since seating is limited in our conference room, calling ahead to let us know you are coming will be helpful.


Round Robins

 
We are adding Round Robin sessions to our weekly Thursday Workshops from 2:00pm - 4:00pm.  Each week a focus group will be featured. 

Currently, our focus groups are as follows:

Lunch 'n Learns

Once per month, we will be hosting a Lunch 'n Learn for our agents.  Lunch will be provided to our agents by our business partners like, Cincinnati Enquirer, Wachovia, Well Fargo, ACE Title, and more. 

This will give our agents an opportunity to learn about services that are available to increase their business and provide value-added service to their clients.

We are excited about what 2009 has in store for the Real Estate market.  Take advantage of all the services OwnerLand Realty is providing and get your business ready for Success in 2009!

This is where we will make you aware of agent support services that are available free or at a cost.  We'll spotlight one free and one fee-based service each week.
