It’s been almost a year now, and will be in just a few short weeks.

I’ve been wondering if you’ve had time to read the last sentence of my last reply.

(I'm a fast reader.) I also just read your blog post about follow up calls. I have so many subscribers in my lists that I'm consistently following up with them, and I know they're reading the emails because I see the traffic coming from the newsletters. I've had similar conversations with real estate agents and brokers who complain about not making sales, and I ask them the same question: "Are you following up with your leads? And, if not, do you have a 'system' in place that will remind you to follow them up?" Most of them answer no. Sadly, most agents don't know that a good many of these tools are either free, or downright cheap. Myself, I still use the old paper system in my DayTimer. I've been using it for over 20 years now. And that "personal" touch has made me the "Go-To Guy" for my customers and has made me a very wealthy man... not only in money, but also in relationships. I have an automated software system on my computer that "wakes up" at 0300 every morning and "reminds" me of the notes I've put into it. Many of the reminders I have running concurrent each day. Others are specific to the day. Yeah, it's sort of like an appointment calendar on my computer but it's a lot more. I never turn it off, and it "hounds" me until I get the task done. I couldn't live without it. It's made me a lot of money. Some of these cooking schools you spoke about, and the BMW dealership, could use a little help in getting their act together. I used to sell cars, and I had people coming into the dealership asking for me by name. I had several dozen people waiting on me because I had "prospected" them on the phone to begin with. I don't do that anymore, but I also followed up with my customers and made a mint off of the referrals they gave me. In short, it's just like you said in your book: you have to take massive action and do that "extra" each day - that your competitors won't do - to eliminate your competition. I still get "hate mail" from some of the competitors I've put out of business! LOL! :-) Love your book. You have a great blog, too! I will be following you on my RSS feed from now on. Oh, BTW, I sent you an email. When are YOU going to follow up? Thanks, Ernest O'Dell Guerrilla Real Estate Marketing Rob,
