			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love &#8220;refi booms&#8221; because I find this to be the best time to win Realtor Referrals away from other Loan Officers!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been setting aside 2 hours every week to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">prospect</span></strong> for new Realtors and another 2 hours to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>meet</strong></span> with them!   My goal is to establish 2 new relationships each week.  Now this is where it gets fun!!!</p>
<p>You already know what other Loan Officers have offered them to earn their business- mainly &#8220;product dumping&#8221; and the famous weekly call &#8211; &#8220;your loan is doing fine and oh yeah &#8211; You&#8217;re the Greatest&#8221;!  While they&#8217;re schmoozing, I&#8217;m adding value.</p>
<p>I make sure that I have so much in my arsenal that it is impossible for a Realtor to say &#8220;No&#8221;.  The Big Guru&#8217;s call these USP&#8217;s (Unique Selling Propositions).  I just call them having more bullets for my gun!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ben&#8217;s Rules for Annihilating the Competition:</strong></span></p>
<p>a)  Remember- it takes a little money to make money and capture market share- so don&#8217;t kid yourself!<br />
b)  Do what everybody else out there isn&#8217;t doing  &#8211; <strong>Work</strong>!!!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ben&#8217;s Marketing Weapon of Mass Production #1:</strong></span></p>
<p>The first marketing weapon I&#8217;d like to share on the Top of Mind Blog is called <a href="http://www.epropertysites.com">ePropertysites</a>.  When I call on a new Realtor, I like to take them by surprise and ask them if I can help market their listings!  ePropertysites has a program that allows me to:<a href="http://www.epropertysites.com"></a></p>
<p>a)  Create websites for their listed homes<br />
b)  Post them to Craig&#8217;s List twice a week (plus  ePropertysites posts them to ten other sites such as Zillow and Google Base on a daily basis)!<br />
c)  Then I create the Realtors their own accounts &#8211; so that the leads go straight to them!  I make them look like heroes to their sellers!</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ll be writing some more articles soon with other marketing ideas I&#8217;ve been using to dominate my market. </strong><strong>Until then, have a great week!<br />
</strong></p>
