Is The Customer Always Right?

Last week, Maritess and I decided it's about time to order the Kitchen Cabinet to be installed at my sister's unit at Berkeley Residences in Katipunan, Quezon City.

We were excited after getting approval from her to go ahead and buy the kitchen cabinet first from a well known supplier of CONDO items that FITS all sorts cabinets, which has an outlet at SM North right under the parking lot at the back of THE BLOCK.

What would you feel if they suddenly change the terms of the quotation saying that if we didn't order the "whole lot" the prices will be increased and that's because they have an internal memo about it?

Exactly. I felt betrayed and the worst thing was the manager insisted she was right because she just told me about it when I clarified the issue. She bang her hand on the table saying she knows what she's saying!

I have been in sales and marketing for a long time. That's not they way to deal with a customer. It would have been better if she admitted her mistake and ask me to reconsider and then go on selling the good feature of their product.

This incident reminds me of the importance of "integrity". We should honor our words (in this case, the quotation) and not blame the customer for our mistakes.

It was good my wife was there to mellow me down. I was ready for war! But then I remember, I was the CUSTOMER. Uhmmm.

Unstoppable,
Jimmy

The problem is if you don't have any idea how this works. Many real estate brokers rely on the traditional method of selling properties. Site visits wastes a  lot time and money nowadays. The trend is to visit the site through the magic of the internet and in 3D at that!

He is my mentor and is helping me in marketing real estate and other products ONLINE. I suggest you check his advice and ask for help on how you can best market your hot real estate properties.

INVESTING IS EASY, PROFITABLE AND SECURE!

My god-son and buddy, Ace Aguilar, president of ACELAND AND PRIME ASSETS INC. started young. Ace, as many call him, is a student of Robert Kiyusaki. I met him in a seminar hosted by THE COACH: AL HOLLINGSWORTH. Coach Al's very successful seminar, VERTICAL LEAP, was etched in my heart and has been a real blessing to many specially as we impart these teachings and practice to our young people today.

Ace is a REAL ESTATE broker and has built and sold houses. His first project was in Baguio. A two storey, tow unit townhouse built and sold easily through the investments of mostly "young people". This is the first kind of investment where everybody makes money.

Ace is an advocate of FAIR HOUSING. In FAIR HOUSING:
a. There’s transparency.
     e.g. Sub-agents are aware of the commission rate
b. Stakeholders like the clients can participate
    actively rather than be mere end-users.
     e.g. A group of clients such as members of a local
     church can become investors of the project
c. Everything is fair to all concerned.
    e.g. Investors, clients, suppliers and agents

Here's the thing, Aceland is now constructing an Eight (8) unit Townhouse in Antipolo. You see, this project is going to do well because the real estate in that area is booming.  Even as I write this, there are buyers lined up already. The project has started and the buyers made down-payments already.

There's Money in Real Estate

I recently attended Trace Trajano's THINK RICH QUICK SEMINAR. Mind you, this is NOT get rich-quick seminar. This was about making millions selling REAL ESTATE properties using only your "saliva" as capital. It is not just selling real estate properties but selling REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES the smart way!

                                   I am that guy (in glasses) right beside Trace Trajano to his right

So, why am I telling you this? For one, it is proven that doing things the smart way is better than doing things the way you used to do, like traditional. In selling properties, I've seen real estate brokers who have been in the business for many years now but are still searching for that precious millions in income.

So if you're interested, you can look into Trace Trajano's seminar and be one of his millionaires. I did, and I am on my way to becoming a millionaire!

To your great life ahead,

Jimmy

Melbourne, Sydney lead house price gains

Melbourne, Sydney lead house price gains

Update Melbourne and Sydney led house price gains across the country in 2010 although the pace of the increase tapered off towards the end of the year, according to a real estate research group.

Among the major cities, Melbourne’s median house prices rose 8.4 per cent in 2010 and 1.1 per cent, seasonally adjusted, in the final three months of the year, to $505,000, RP Data/Rismark said.

Sydney’s house prices rose 6.6 per cent for the year and 0.9 per cent for the quarter to a median level of $525,000, the researcher found.

It's good to know that investments are doing well in Sydney. We can look forward to more investments in properties this year.
