One way to achieve that will be to send out letters, in which you outline your tax expertise, to all your current and past clients and contacts.
Another way, will be to contact, by phone, Real Estate Brokerages, and speak to the Broker of Record or Manager. You should then explain that you have some ideas on how to help Realtors or their Investor-clients resolve tax issues or reduce their tax liabilities, and request him/her to permit you to address his/her sales agents to explain your ideas! Most offices have regular office meetings at which you may be permitted to address sales agents!
However, if you do not feel comfortable speaking to an audience of several hundred people, then you may consider writing a letter to the Broker of Record/ Sales Manager to explain your ideas and asking him/her to make and deliver copies to his/ her agents.
You may, also, consider placing an ad in your local community newspaper to advertise your services.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to you! Good luck!

In my opinion, Realtors still host Open House events for 2main reasons:(1) To impress their Seller clients that they are “ really working hard” to sell the property! and, (2) to convert Open House visitors, who are not signed up with another Realtor, to become their Buyer clients!

Congratulations on your development of a new software! Have you tried Googling for investors or investment companies? What about inviting financial investors through the use of LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.? However, I would suggest that you prepare a plan indicating how you propose promoting your new software to businesses. Then, you can present your plan to Financial Institutions, such as banks, in order to obtain a loan to launch your product. I believe that this may be a better avenue for you to pursue, as individual investors tend to want a large portion and control of your business. Banks, on the other hand, just want their loan repaid. Plus interest, of course! To me, this is a much better means of raising the launch-funds you need! Good luck with the launch and successful sale of your new software!

The best thing a company can do to keep customers coming back for more is to offer friendly, prompt and honest service! Without those three factors, nothing else matters!
Develop a culture of respect and friendliness among your employees. Instill in them a habit of ALWAYS greeting anyone entering your store or calling your office, a warm and friendly welcome. Look them in the eye with a pleasant smile on your face. Or, if it’s a telephone call, politely ask for their name and address the caller by their name, thereafter.
At the end of the call or sale, thank the client/customer for their business/ call, and add: “ We hope to see/ hear from you, again, soon! Have a great day/ night!”
If you ensure that all your employees employ that culture, your customers will always come back for more!

I don’t mail out Christmas cards. Instead, I use the opportunity to deliver my calendars for the following year, along with a bottle of wine and tin of Christmas cookies and my personal wishes of “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays”!

Small business owners, and even senior personnel of big companies, tend to forget that the success of their businesses depend on the patronage of their customers or clients. Therefore, they are sometimes rude and dismissive to customers or clients, who complain about any aspect of the service or product.
Once, I overheard a small business owner rebuke a customer by informing her that she “needs his service “ , instead of the other way around!
We must always remember that no matter how good our product or service is, WE depend on our clients or customers for the success of our business! Always be patient, kind, respectful and helpful to EVERYONE!!

Hi Caminie,
Thank you for connecting with me and for your question.
In my business, there are two things that are challenging. The first is competing with realtors who discount their fees to an unprofitable level, in an effort to get business, and then fail to protect the best interests of their clients, by double-ending, that is, representing both the Buyer and Seller in the sale of the property.
The second challenging factor is going out to meet home owners, who want to sell their home.
Fortunately, i receive referrals from previous clients, who have experienced my business ethics and honesty.
I hope that i have answered your question to your satisfaction, Caminie.
Best regards.

I like Mark Mehling’s reply. It is subtle and his recommendation is strengthened by his last sentence! It would be very difficult to resist his recommendation that he repairs it after that last sentence. I like his subtlety

Tyler, thank you for asking my opinion and advice. I use exactly the same strategy. Sometimes it works, but other times it doesn’t unless you follow up by calling the a few months later to follow up and enquire how the repair is working out. That shows you really care and you can then ask, again,...
