Making yourself accessible to your clients and prospects... Create an Impulse Trigger!!!

We all have cell phones and PDAs, and we have email and a contact page on our website..... But it is static. Meebo makes it more DYNAMIC!!!

But what about that shy prospective home buyer who wants to ask you a question anonymously and is afraid to contact you out of fear of being hassled? Quite simply.... Invite your prospects to engage in an anonymous chat!!!

Now, other than the occassional 'Go Big Red' dropping into my chat applet from the likes of Renee Burrows or another colleague, I get several chats per week and some of them turn into clients!!! I call it my Impulse Trigger!! A way to entice the prospect into engaging into a conversation so they can get comfortable with my style and professionalism. At one point I try to get them to take the conversation to email or phone.... but only after i sense that 'whew' on the other end of the chat.

       I like to think of it as my little cash register.... when it dings, I ring up the sale!!!

I have links everywhere inviting people to log into 'Live Texas Home Loan Chat' for a convenient and less intrusive way to 'get to know me'.... And I really feel that most people don't need to be sold, they just need to sell themselves on YOU.

Although a few chats will drop with little chance of coming back.... because maybe they are someone just checking on the info they are getting elsewhere.... I have converted lots of chats into real prospects that turned into REAL COMMISSIONS!!!

Isn't it about time you too rang up some 'Impulse Purchases'?

 

The DallasLoanGuy offers Free Credit Counseling to my prospects.  A no obligation Mortgage Consultation to get ready for that big purchase.

Tom... I know a few people on AR have Meebo. I haven't looked into it as of yet. Just something else to play with. Generally, my clients can get me with my cell phone or e-mail, both controlled by my cell phone. And they all know that they can call or e-mail me from 8 am until 8 pm... and some sometimes later. Meebo would just be something else to keep track of....I guess.  thanks for the info.

yes, it is a gadget.... and something to keep track of.... but it is working for me. while most will not use it, i think it will fit a few people

the key is for the prospect to have the ability to ask an anonymous question without giving any personal info.... even an email address.

some people think 'capturing' info is more important.... i like this subtle approach. it is a 'soft sell'

thanks for dropping by

I used something like that years ago and the gentleman who helps me with SEO told me to take it off.  It was some live chat or something like that.  Do you know if the search engines are friendly with the Meebo?

Nice!  Are you still using it?  I had to quit and take it down because I am in the field more every day and answering the phone, dealing with emails and prospecting is my main goal during the times when I am online and actually in my office.

I still use it. My 'work' is more in office stuff.... so it works for me.
