At the end of the day we all just want someone to care about our needs and opinions and the best way to express your interest in your clients is to ASK QUESTIONS! But don't stop asking them questions and following up once the transaction closes. You are right about using their input to create a "lather, rinse, repeat" cycle. Once you know what converted them you can continue utilize this information to gain new clients. Now I have to go finish sewing you an outfit with "B" emblazoned on the chest and a red cape...

What did you think? What information could I put there to help other buyers and sellers? " I think I am going to use these more often now. I always felt a little shy asking others about my own site. i don't know why but I guess I always felt that I would make the other person feel as if I am marketing him my personal website too. After reading your post, I think I should get over with this fear. I mean I am doing business with them, why not make a little friendly conversation about my site and if they don't know about it (some people never pay attention to visiting cards except for only phone number) I think I am going to tell them about it but just to make sure that if this is the right approach, could other Realtors share their opinion about this? “Have you seen my blog?
What did you think?
What information could I put there to help other buyers and sellers? ”

Just as what's your phone number ? Gave way to what's your email? That question may need to give way to these new questions. Very perceptive. Great Post!

Your readers DO want to know about you. More than the about page. I've noticed a definite trend. When I open up, on occasion, I get more response. Pure business is found boring. I think people do want to know who they are reading...for better or worse. But a little goes a long way. Benn, I would agree with everything but argue this one point.

Often, I get so involved in the transaction, I forget many of these things. You're right of course, who better to ask how we are doing online than a client who just found us online. With their help, we can cetermine what is working best. Can you say AHA moment? Thansk so much Benn! Often, I get so involved in the transaction, I forget many of these things.

I like your list of questions...things I stumble around but generally don't ask directly.
