Leads - that's our life

Well, I have come to realize that my family's whole life is about "leads" The art of generating interest in what we have to offer. Our church is constantly reaching out to people, trying to catch their interest in "New Life" and letting them know that God has just what they need. We have been so blessed to come across people miraculously - it was a God thing. Yes, there are days that it seems nothing is happening, but I lean on God's calling. I refuse to fear and be discouraged. This is His church and He is the ultimate "Lead Generator!"

Our real estate business is also about generating interest by getting our name out there and catching people when they are needing help with their properties. I have had so much interest lately that it has been amazing. I told Karla the other night, it has to be a God thing, too! I have friends in the business who have gone months without finding someone who is interested. I had another Open House this past weekend and picked up some leads. I have two lease customers I am working with that I came across on phone duty and had a call last night to get a CMA (comparative market analysis) together and possibly list their home. I have been quietly believing in His provision. Like I said, He is the ultimate "lead generator."

I went on property tour today with a fellow REALTOR® who wants to come visit our church! You know how the subject of church came up? We were all talking about what we had going in our business and this lady said, "Wow, you have the best of luck!" I took the opportunity to say, "No, it is not luck. I believe God is blessing me! My family is starting a work for God and He honors our giving." So, when we got out of the car at the next house, she came over and asked where our church was and what kind it was. She asked, "You're not one of those stuffy kind of churches are you?" LOL! Absolutely not! When we got back to the office, she went looking in the office for Karla because she wanted to meet the "Pastor's wife!" She left with a card and a HUGE welcome to come. The great "Lead Generator" is at work on all fronts.

These are just a few examples of His work. Isn't He just the best?

Congratulations on your successes! I loved your cookie bouquet. It is so sweet when a client appreciates the time spent with them. It is ussualy us realtors giving the gifts of thanks, but it is a nice surprise when a clients does something like that. I totally relate to the leads being a "God thing." I feel the same about my business. Some of the stories of how the leads came about are amazing!
All the best to you!
