When You Go From Eggs To Bacon…

 

Have you heard the old joke…

 

A pig and a chicken were walking by a church where a gala charity event was taking place. Getting caught up in the spirit, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution.

 

“Great idea!” the chicken cried.

 

“Let’s offer them bacon and eggs?”

 

“Not so fast,” said the pig testily. “For you, that’s a contribution. For me, it’s a total commitment.”

 

As a seller, you are either eggs or bacon.

 

One is total commitment. Do or die. Not just trying it out. Total commitment.

 

If you are eggs, you are not committed to selling…but if you do sell, that is great.

 

Maybe you don’t “have to sell”.

 

Maybe you just want to see if you can get your price.

 

Maybe you just want to know what your house is really worth on the open market.

 

But you are eggs at this point. If it doesn’t work out, the sun will rise tomorrow and nothing will really change much.

 

You show the house if you feel like it, you don’t care about the broken countertop, and if your lawn is mowed, great, but it isn’t first priority – the house looks good to you.

 

But if you are bacon…you must sell.

 

You are relocating.

 

You don’t fit at your home anymore and there is no way you are building an addition.

 

You aren’t staying anymore! This is it.

 

You are totally committed to selling. You will price it right, be available for showings, work on your curb appeal, tell others about your house, fix items you can fix, etc.

 

Whenever a seller becomes “bacon” – it is the real deal! Their house will sell because they will make the necessary choices, regardless of pain, to get the desired results.

 

So ask yourself, if your house hasn’t sold…are you eggs…or bacon?

When You Go From Eggs To Bacon…

Here is a challenge for all of you.

 

It took me a few seconds, but then I got the hang of it... I've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I've seen it with numbers.

B - Back to Basics - Let’s review what makes ActiveRain such a special community.
I - Interaction -  Let’s meet and greet both new members and established members of our community.
G - Grow Your Business - Let’s share what practices work best for us.

Happy and Healthy and Successful New Year to All!  For some of us, just coming off the December 2011 challenge - this contest may seem like no big deal since we are in the rhythm. For others of us, especially newcomers, it may seem like a big challenge to write almost every day.  For me, doing a challenge in early 2011 led me - as a NEWBIE - out of the dreadful “BLOGFEAR SWAMP”.  Doing that one challenge helped me so much.

Qualifying for Points: Post each blog to the 2012 BIG Jumpstart Blog Challenge Group and any other groups you choose.  DO NOT POST at the AR Contest group - please - that’s the designated group for announcing contests.

Points: Of interest to everyone, of course:  3000 points on completion/verification

Begin : Monday, January 9, 2012 (12:01 am Eastern)  ~ ~  End: Tuesday, January 31, 2014  (11:59 pm Eastern)

* Each category (see below) is required at least two times during the Challenge. 

                                     ~~~~~                                     ~~~~~                         

NOTE:  In an effort to keep these directions both short and clear, only bare bones explanations here. If you need more info and/or want more details, go to the topic link - that takes you to a longer explanation of the blog topic.

 
B - Back to Basics -
a.) Community Guidelines: two blogs required
        Focus on a Community Guideline that you think makes AR the great community it is.

      Welcome at least two newcomers and do a blog about each and their AR experiences.
If you want, also post these to Craig Daniels’ “Gold Star” Group established for posts about individuals.
b.)  Invitations: two blogs required
      Profile two people who accepted your invitation to join ActiveRain. If you never invited anyone - send
at least two (honor system!) just for the practice. To substitute if no accepted invitations, profile two
members whose comments you enjoyed on others' posts which encouraged you to follow their blogs. Or contact someone who hasn't participated in a while on AR and invite them back again. If you want, also post these profiles to Craig Daniels' "Gold Star" Group established for posts about individuals.
(Invited folks but no one has accepted? Margaret Rome says: "Don't despair! I send many invitations for each acceptance!")  
c.)  Reblogs: two blogs required
      Reblog someone’s special post and in your 50 word intro, explain why you chose that post for us to enjoy.

b.)  Content: two blogs required
        Explain how you choose topics for your blogs and how you develop the theme.

c.)   Videos or Photographs: two blogs required
        Use your own original videos or original photographs to accompany the theme of your post.
If you are new to video or photo, use the SEARCH feature on AR blogs to find "How To" information.

Completion/Verification? Posts to 2012 BIG Jumpstart Blog Challenge Group will be tallied up.

Any questions?   Send me an email and I will answer both happily and as soon as I can.

Have a happy day -

"I'm Mayhem, and I'm Your Worst Nightmare!"

I like small children.

I surf the internet looking for them.

I don't have to bother with social networking sites.

I can use the MLS.

I know if it's a boy or a girl.

I know approximately how old they are.

I know their address.

 

I KNOW THEIR NAME!!!

 

I know they might respond to me if I call them by their name.

 

I'm Mayhem, and I'm your worst nightmare!

 

 

 

 

Parents, if your house is for sale, PLEASE remove any and all references to specific information regarding your children.  This may include name banners, awards, certificates, report cards, signs, etc.  Don't give Mayhem a chance with with your children!

Real Estate Agents:  Please encourage your listing clients to remove name signs such as the one above.  While charming, they could put a child at risk.  If the client won't comply, refrain from posting such photos.

This is one important piece of advice I give all my Connecticut Home Staging clients, and one that I would think all agents would too.  However, every day I see new listings posted on the MLS with this kind of blatant "invitation".  Let's keep the children's safety in mind!
