<p>You can have the greatest service and product made today, but if nobody can find out about you the business is doomed for failure.  A group of real estate professionals used teamanship to solve their problems and sell more services. I helped them realize an opportunity that all around them were foreclosures and investors waiting to invest.</p><p>A realtor, loan office, appraiser, escrow officer, and handyman got together to form a marketing team to make it easier for investors to find property. They came up with the idea to rent a bus and drive the investors to each of the foreclosed properties they had for sale. Their sales were incredible as they drove around town helping investors buy more investments.</p><p>Teamwork and a single minded purpose is what differentiated this service team to stand out from their competitors.  Because we refer friends, relatives, and business associates the word-of-mouth marketing news spread to many of the investors in town. Soon there became no shortage of business for this innovative team of professionals. All the while other real estate industry professionals continued to face greater challenges.</p><p>Leverage your word-of-mouth marketing to solve customer problems and you beat out your competitors every time. Archimedes, the early Greek mathematician once said "Give me a lever long enough, strong enough, and a place to stand and I could lift the world." Because the real estate industry had experienced a slow down did not mean that their sales should suffer. They learned how to achieve a creative approach out of desperation to make it more convenient for investors to buy more property easier and faster. They applied the group’s marketing leverage to earn more profits together than if they had gone it alone.</p><p>In your marketplace there are a number of strategic alliances and collaborations that will increase your brand and grow your reputation. Seek out and acquire only the best people to work with for team building. Remember that your reputation is on the line every time you give a referral and you should develop mutual trust and confidence. </p><p>Build a close relationship with team members over a long term by cross-referring and growing your relationship. Think of it like dating each other where you are inquisitive to find out as much as possible about each other. The Good-the Bad- and the Ugly. You also want to fall in love with your customers needs. Find out everything you can about each others service as you progress in your relationship to discover a marketing tactic to solve the consumer need.</p><p>The real estate service team had built a motivational environment.  They worked on a single-minded purpose to help investors buy properties more easily. During their referral success they exchanged ideas and committed to educate and support each other.  At the focal point of every problem there is a lever that can be applied as a solution to a marketing problem. Utilize your creative skills and design a marketing approach that promotes the skill, ability, and group strength of your team program. </p><p>Business networking applied to a focused approach with teammates can change your success strategy. The real estate service group had brought new levels of credibility by working together as a team, and helped build their reputations as professionals within their community.</p> 2008-10-13T23:21:46Z -16.5542 574 1945 true 4 18853 team-spirit-joined-business-networking 6 2008-10-16T20:35:55Z 2008-10-16T20:35:55Z
