Ema
il tracking allows you to see if the person receiving your email has opened it or not. In real estate, where prospects and leads are very private, this is a very good thing to have in place. Email tracking, will track where other not the recipient has clicked/opened the email. This is a process that happens in the background, therefore the recipient may not even be aware that their actions are being tracked.
By tracking your open rates and click through rates, you can determine who is an actively looking at what you are sending them. This allows you to zero in on your focus and spend follow up time on those who deserve it the most. You may also be able to determine when a leads motivation or time line has changed, if there is a significant difference in their open rates.
By tracking the click through and open rates, it gives you insight into your clients needs, motivation and allows you to follow up with the best approach.

Social Media Best Practices
Social media is an effective way to increase your brand awareness and potentially your transaction per year. If done correctly, you will most definitely reap the benefits, however if you do it incorrectly, it can do more harm than good.
Before you go crazy with the postings and scheduling updates, ask yourself these questions. This will help you come up with a viable plan of attack (so to speak).
- What does your audience most like about you?
- Who are you trying to target or reach?
- Who do you want to do business with?
- Are you easy to find on social media?
- What are your competitors doing?
- What do your clients expect of your brand?
- Are you happy with their expectations? If not, how can you change their expectations?
Once you answer these questions, you will have a better idea or dare I say vision of how you would like to proceed.
