Things That Make You Go ... HUH?? If you're in real estate or mortgage lending ... or almost any business these days, you do. To some extent and in some manner. And if you've been doing the social media "thing" and Email blasts for awhile, you've probably accumulated quite a following. Exactly what we're ALL after. Loyal followers. Relationships. Business contacts and Business itself! But something I've been noticing fairly often, as of late ... is the messages ... the information sent, the link, the "blast", the comment to a blog ... that are sent to me, many times do NOT pertain to me personally. Even when I know the person or have conducted business with them for quite awhile. I especially see this, when I'm a member in a minority on some social media site. What do I mean by Minority?? Well, I'm a Mortgage Lender contributing within some overwhelmingly predominant real estate Agent sites. And the assumption for many that comment to me, is that I must ... MOST ASSUREDLY ... be another realtor. Part of the majority brethren. Nope! Take a look ... I've made sure it says Gene Mundt, Mortgage Lender pretty much everywhere you find me ... in fairly obvious and noticeable places. The heading of my blog, my profile on every social site, under my name in comments, on my personal pages. I plaster it everywhere I can. I'm shameless ... and also proud of what I do. I get emails that make me feel invisible or un-memorable also. From other Lenders! Asking for my mortgage business. Asking if they can assist me. Nope! Sorry. Ain't gonna happen. And when I receive these comments, emails, marketing pieces ... I often wonder. When did the sender lose control of their social media? At what point did they cross-over from the personal .. into the non-personal?? When did they get in such a hurry that they ceased taking the care they should with their social media or emails? And is it because they now choose to have someone else do their social media for them? Someone not as familiar or well-versed with their database(s) or willing to take the time to make sure that these little "oops" don't happen?? Call me old-fashioned, but I'm still doing this all myself. Okay, Okay! I'll cop to it. I do it with a bit of help from my right-arm, my wife. But I definitely give it a good stab ... and everthing's definitely All Mundt ... ALL the time! I'm still seeing to the details. It's not to say that I don't make any mistakes ... because I do. But ... Should you and I have any kind of personal or business relationship ... or should you have done business with me or asked to be on a particular database of mine ... I'm hoping that I refer to you as I should, if you're my client or a personal friend. That I refer to you as an agent, should you be an agent. Or at least correctly and pertaining to whatever your chosen profession is. I'm hoping that I always ask you pertinent questions, send you information, etc. ... in regards to YOUR chosen professional services, YOUR blogs, YOUR background, YOUR specific needs and requests. And I most certainly hope that I'm not haphazardly sending my mortgage lending marketing to you if your another mortgage lender ... seeking YOUR personal mortgage business. Afterall, because of our prior relationship or business conducted, I should know better ... right?? Those would all be things that just make me go ... huh??? * If you're looking for amortgage lender that will still deliver you old-fashioned, personalized mortgage service ... please contact me.
