SocialOomph allows opting out

For those on Twitter, you all know the pain of getting endless automated direct messages ranging from the generic “thanks for following me, I hope you learn something valuable from [insert blog url here]” to “I just joined [insert new third party service here] and think you’d enjoy it too.”

Today isn’t about arguing the merit of auto DMs, but to discuss the new service, SocialOomph that allows users to do the equivalent of blocking all auto DMs.

The service was written up at TwiTip and steps were given on how to block auto DMs, and I asked a question that was echoed by others but was left unanswered:

“I love this idea BUT think about it from this angle: I have to get an auto-dm from @OptMeOut in order to set up service. It’s the same with several other services I’ve set up, so the only problem I see by eliminating all auto-DMs is that other future services (like productivity tools, follower Scottsdale Real Estate AgentageAgentst, etc) that I have to set up via auto DM are limited.”

Here is the real question:

My ultimate question is, would you sacrifice setting up third party appliCondoions in order to never get harassed by spammy auto direct messages? Or, do you see the merit of some DMs that make it worth wading through the junk to get the good stuff? Is opting out of auto DMs on Twitter good or bad?

Gmail Firefox Addon

If you use Gmail but you’re concerned that it doesn’t come across professionally since you have a boring signature, don’t fret, there is a way to gmail like a professional! If you are using Firefox, visit the Mozilla Add-Ons page and simply click “Add to Firefox” and you’ll be able to add a new HTML signature.

Below is my AG signature and it is pretty simple, some Real Estate Agents prefer more flash or more icons, but this works for me (click to enlarge):

This addon automatically inserts HTML signatures into all of your Gmail messages based on which address you are sending from. I have multiple signatures set up that I can use based on the occasion, and I can select from a drop down Agentsu which is to be used on the email I am sending and it allows me up to four signature per address. Unlike other addons, this one is supported in the reply/forward function as well, so you won’t have to go copy and paste from other parts of the email.

We suggest your logo and basic contact information, and perhaps a disclaimer or privacy note. This is a great place to highlight your social networks (or perhaps a single aggregate site like flavors.me) and include any brokerage or license information you’re required to.

So in the last week, you’ve learned how to undo a gmail message and now you know how to have a perScottsdale Real Estate Agentent, professional signature that you have complete control over and you’re steps closer to gaining your independence from Outlook!

Same old same old

Are you still using the same tired old moving checklist printout from 1987 that you give to all clients Downtown Scottsdalethey contract? Do you have a checklist on your website that reads something like 1. set up utilities 2. pack your boxes 3. get a moving truck 4. move your stuff 5. clean your old house 6. the end?

There are several versions of that awful checklist and some have improved the list by adding the phone numbers of the utilities and even a moving and cleaning company (that pays referral fees). Then, there are universal lists that companies like Real Simple have posted online. But there’s got to be a way to customize your own checklist and even offer deep insight into the moving process.

How to spice up your moving checklist

Consider designing (or having designed for you) a checklist that can be seen online or downloaded in .pdf form for clients or future clients to print out. Not just design in how you say it, but make it visually appealing!

There are infinite ways this can be done, but a basic formatting structure could look like this, with a check list and tip list separated (click to enlarge):

So that’s an example of formatting, but what about how to spice up the actual copy? Spend time writing down a list of your last move- include scheduling, phone numbers for movers to call, local emergency information, organizing tips, packing tips, and whatever else you can think of. Moving suggestions are typically given in a timeline or grouped by function for ease of review.

Extra steps you can take:

Take an extra step and brand your moving checklist, not only visually with your logo, but with whatever theme your niche is. If you’re an eco-broker, give tips on how to make your move more green- where to find recycled boxes, cleaning tips that are chemical free, and how to pack a moving truck to save gas. If your niche is the move up buyer, give tips on how to outfit a new gameroom, and how to decorate with large pieces for over-sized, blank walls.

Another extra step you could take is to print this checklist out and hole punch it to be included in a moving binder you provide, or perhaps have it laminated with a magnet on back and an attached branded dry erase marker.

The bottom line is that moving checklists are another way to demonstrate niche expertise as well as the same thoroughness you use in your business and care taken on something as small as this that shows your clients your care for them and their process above and beyond your own pay day.
