Okay, I am excited.  I just returned form the NAR convention and filming over 150 video vignettes with our speakers. What we have found in the last three months is that both “Technology” and “Marketing” are hot, hot topics.  Most Realtors (those of us who are baby boomers) find today’s social media networks mysterious and even scary.

What we have discovered in over 20 webinars and over 50 agent interviews is that basic training on both marketing concepts and applying today’s technologies in real estate are in demand.  From getting started using social media to driving traffic to your web site your sales associates both want and need the training.

In the coming months we’ll be promoting highly skilled instructors with great content and broad classroom experience like the folks listed here:

Randy is not only a past CRS President, he has written numerous technology courses for CRS.  He has a powerful real estate background, is a search engine expert, and is a very good instructor.  You can see his online webinar schedule at his site www.Webstarget.com   His one day CRS course, “Driving Traffic to Your Website” is excellent.

Amy Chorew delighted audiences at NAR with the latest in social media secrets.

Don’t miss her webinars or speaking engagements.  You’ll see why the  Women’s Council of REALTORS(R) books her regularly.  Great content, easy delivery style, and she’s great to work with.  She is currently developing her 2009 first quarter calendar.  I’ll keep you posted.
