**So, I get this message from Paula Wright yesterday:
**
*Hi Dean,
*Well I read your entry about personalization on the bulleting board and decided to kick it up a notch today and got
great results that I wanted to share with you below.
We just got to Pensacola on Tuesday evening and one of our Market Watch people has just flown in from California
to buy a home and Mark spent the day with them today.
We've been doing Market Watch by mail only and I'm loving the response that I get from people. I will never go back
to emailing listings unless they're a 2 star prospect.
Thanks so Much, we are really excited ;)

**She included the entire correspondence between her and a MarketWatch prospect.
It started out with the FINAL email in the 7-Step Connection Process...
**
*Hi Carol,
I didn't have any luck trying to reach you this week... and I just wanted you to know there's a real person behind these emails. :)
Are you still interested in a FREE MarketWatch subscription?
The reason I was trying to reach you is because we would like to know how many bedrooms
you're needing as a minimum, and when you plan on moving.
Would you just reply to this email and let us know any details that are important to you
about the home you'll be buying, so we know the best kind of information to send you.
Thanks,

To which Carol replies:
*Thanks Paula, 3-4 bedroom. I am a little familiar with the area but I need some help on best schools, prices, location, stuff like that. Also, I have a small med spa. Would like to know about small retail/office space as well. 816-686-7005. My husband is an attorney so we will both need to relocate. Feel free to call anytime.
Thanks, Carol
**Nothing special so far....but watch what happens now...

*Hi Carol,
My husband and I have been married for about 2.5 years and we're finally ready to start our
own family, so when we recently purchased I was considering schools for our future babies.
Realtors are not allowed to comment on good schools/areas vs. the bad, we are to recommend that you
check each schools statistics to determine if they meet your criteria.
Having said that, there is nothing that stops me from sharing "my" personal experience with you ;)
Not sure how old your kids are, but my stepson and daughter live in Navarre and the 12 year old
daughter going into 7th Grade openly admits that she doesn't like her school because the kids
curse alot in the school and on the bus and she says nobody does anything about it, the youngest
boy has no complains about his school
So when we were looking at schools, we heard alot of good things about the schools in Pace.
We bought our home in Pace and if you're not familiar on where that is, its just north of Pensacola.
Pensacola is still quite small, so to get from Pace to Pensacola Beach takes all of 15 minutes.
Everything is very close here. Pace gave us the most bang for our buck. We bought a 4 BR home in a
gated golf course community with an inground pool, 2500 sq ft,backing onto the woods with just over 1/2 an acre
for $365,000. We would have been able to get the same bang out in Navarre but we didn't like the fact that Navarred
has not been developed and I'm a shopping gal if you know what I mean.
Pace was close to shopping centres and supermarkets.
The Market Watch reports that we send out include all of the areas I've mentioned so that you can get familiar with
homes and prices in various areas, that way when the time comes to move here, you'll have a good idea of which
areas interests you the most
We sort the reporst by price range in thousands, please let us know which corresponding report you would like
us to send you:
under 150
150-250
250-350
350-500
500-750
750+
Last but not least let us know where to mail it
Look forward to helping you,

**And...here it is...the sound of barriers being penetrated....guards being dropped...and an INDELIBLE impression being made on Carol forever...
**
*Girl, you are so responsive!!
I have been studying Pace and thought it might be good. We come down to Pensacola Beach every summer, so I am a little familiar with how small it is. I have no real timetable for this move. I have always lived in KC and I hate the weather. I worked for the city of Kansas City and had to live there within the limits.
We are having a bad time selling our house because there is new construction still in the area.MLS# 1230212. If we can get it sold, I would come down for a while and see if it is something we would like. I am more adventurous that my husband. He would come later.
I have a business that I could move or open a new one there. Any ideas on an area for renting office/retail space?
thanks again, Carol
***PS I love how hard you work and I promise that if we do this, no matter when, we will use you.

**I Love how hard you work!
That says it all doesn't it?
I love the fact that you took 7 minutes to write a heartfelt personal reply and this woman is loyal forever.
Try spending 7 minutes on a reply to someone this week, and see what happens. People KNOW when you are going above and beyond...and when you are just going through the motions.
It's worth it to try harder.
