6 Spring SMILE Stops™ to Help Build Your Business
We talk about SMILE Stops™ a lot in the POWER Program®; here’s why they are a powerful way to develop client relationships!
There is nothing we love more than seeing real estate agents getting creative in how they connect with homeowners! With thousands of fun opportunities throughout the year, we’re just in time for spring fun. This is also one of the best times for SMILE Stops!
What Are SMILE Stops™?
It’s pretty self-explanatory, but there is a secret that we want to share, too! Not only are Smile Stops something you can use to make your clients smile, but “Smile” is actually an acronym!
S: Service (focus on service not selling)
M: Meet face-to-face
l: Invite them to share their needs by asking questions
L: Leave behind a token of gratitude
E: Elevate the relationship
The premise of these stops is to use fun little gifts or treats as a method of thanking your past clients for their business; complete with your name and number so they can call anytime they have questions, and particularly so yours is the name in front of them when they decide to list!
