The value of being true to your word give you so much power!

Building relationships!: My life revolves around sales, either as a business developer for the largest privately owned landscape company that is growing in a healthy rapid rate; or as a realtor! Day in and day out I revolve around sales. Sales are not just signed contracts, deals, and commissions. Sales is ?? about relationships! Last year I took a call from a potential client from realtor.com, I spent a good portion of time talking to the potential client, and set a time for further opportunities to help them move forward in their dream. They have choosen to wait a little while. During the process this potential clients sister and brother in law where in a tricky situation in a home build that they were trying to close. They felt like their agent wasn’t doing them any favors or helping them negotiate to be able to close. They reached out to me. I explained that I am limited in my ability to help due to them being in a contract relationship with another agent. I did what I could for a week or two before being asked by their agent to step aside. (I was helping with absolutely no expectation of compensation) As realtors we have code of ethics, these are real and true. I was trying to help the client, but I was stepping on the toes of their agent. It was a very tenuous position as the buyers begged for help, but their agent didn’t want any help. I had to tell this buyer that I was unable to assist any further because of the contract and the request of the buyers agent. Fast forward a year, and this buyer, who is a lender, has been my best client. I haven’t closed a deal with him and his amazing wife, but he has referred friends and family. As all who live in the sales world a referral is as good as gold! Relationships are far far far more important than a singular deal. I have closed deals, that where only a deal. I have built relationships that have turned to many many opportunities, both as a realtor and more so as business developer for Elite Grounds. The people I work with, interact with, and grow with are the reason I love what I do! I love meeting at properties, walking the landscapes pointing out potential opportunities to further enhance the beauty of their properties and communities! I love deepening relationships! Ever deal has a back story of hours and hours of relationship development! And every deal has the potential to lead to many many more opportunities, but those are only there if the relationship continues to be a focus! #utahrealestate #sales #businessdevelopment #landscapemaintenance #landscapeenhancement #elitegrounds #strattonandbratt #realtor

NORAD's Santa Tracker started on this day in 1955 with a simple typo. "A local Sears store in Colorado Springs ran a dial Santa ad in 1955. However, the number was a misprint. Instead of listing the number for Sears' Santa hotline, it posted the number for the Continental Air Defense Command Center. On Christmas Eve 1955, Colonel Harry Shoup began receiving calls while working at NORAD from kids asking to speak with Santa Claus. Instead of telling the kids that they dialed the wrong number, Shoup said that he wasn't Santa Claus but he could track him on radar. All night, Shoup and his team fielded calls, giving kids details about Santa's location as he and his reindeer flew through the sky to deliver gifts to children." This is how a tradition was born. NORAD opened its lines for Santa Tracking every year since.
