Do you attend Meetups for Real Estate?
Have you ever attended a MEETUP for Real Estate and if so was it productive? I have found the to be a great networking opportunity. I have never closed a deal at a Meetup but I have started relationships that resulted in closing some deals. I shared my business card and my 30 second commercial. Then I asked, "What do you do, I talk to people all day long I may be able to send some people your way?" Then I let the people speak. All I do is listen to see if there their services may benefit me and if my services will benefit them, But I don't sell I communicate.
My business cards have very little information and they are basic Vista Print cards. I see some people have a lot of titles and some offers like I give a $100 for referrals...etc
I am wondering does that work?
Should one show up to a MEETUP with lots of flyers or is the house you want to sell right away enough?
There seems to be a new MeetUP starting everyday. What does one look for before investing time at a weekly or monthly meeting?
What are your thoughts? Newbies want to know!
