We alll learn things everyday. Some days more than others. What did you learn this past week that could help others?

I learned to always be ready with your best sales pitch. I was at a REI meeting and told the main dude about my events webpage. I offered to allow RE agents to list open houses for free. He asked me to do a presentation right then for the whole group. We've been online for less than a month and I had not polished a sales pitch yet. I had about 5 minutes to give it my best shot.

I learned to ALWAYS have business cards on hand. I didn't have enough business cards for the above mentioned group. Lost opportunity.

I learned to capitalize on what you have. I putt around on my scooter and realized, everyone looks at the scooter, whether they like it or not, they all look. I had to go by the sign shop and got promo stickers made right then for the scoot. Now they all look at my logo.

What did you learn?:cheers:
