On How I Advise Agents to Spend Their Money
This is a typical response I give an agent who is thinking about using my services but not sure where they want to best spend their money:
Feel free to bring your issues and ideas to the Tuesday/Thursday training classes. I don’t push my services above other options and it is my job to help support you. I’ve helped advise and guide agents for over a year before we felt their production was enough to not only afford my website but to market it as well.
I completely run Debbie Beam’s website now. It was an expensive design and built with a very old web editing software…the developer’s equivalent of hammer and chisel. It is a beast to operate and, until I can fully port it over to my method, one of the biggest pain in the neck projects to maintain and update.
My template (scottsadler.com) is what I recommend. If you want to make it look and like debbiebeam.com, we can do that. I would recommend against drop-down menus because they don’t work in all browsers and the search engines can find them. But again, if you want them, we can do that.
Once I study a topic intently, I form very strong opinions on how things should be done. Scott’s site and variations of it are my opinion on the way to go.
