There is often a lot of anxiety and fear over having to go out and "sell" your real estate media services and products. But what if we told you that not selling, sells? Steve Musser, Director of Sales & Marketing, along with Chris Voge, Sales Manager both of WOW Video Tours joins Craig this week to talk about an approach to business development that doesn't feel so...well...like you're a used car salesman. (Sorry any used car salespeople that may see this). What are some ways to approaching business development that will allow you to get word out about your business and build a clientele, without resorting to the myriad of "sales tactics & training" that feel less than...honest? Genuine? Authentic? You get the drift.
