\"wiredThe cover of the April 2007 edition of Wired Magazine is pushing transparency. “Smart companies are sharing secrets with rivals, blogging about products in their pipeline, even admitting to their failures<\/a>. The name of this new game is RADICAL TRANSPARENCY, and it’s sweeping boardrooms across the nation. Even those Office drones at Dunder Mifflin get it. So strip down and learn how to have it all by baring it all.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

What does that mean for real estate agents across North America?<\/strong><\/p>\n

– start blogging about you, your business, your thoughts, your listings, listings you did not get, etc
\n– stop trying to get weak leads by hiding information (ie, free reports if you give up your name, access to the mls, etc), put all your information out there and the true leads will come
\n– learn how to podcast and discuss real estate, your business, etc
\n– do a video on yourself about who you are and what is important to you<\/p>\n

Basically, let people learn more about you, even your competitors, in the end you will win!<\/p>\n

===========================================
