Open houses have been one of the marketing strategies in selling a property. Over the years, real estate agents and sellers conduct them in the hope to pick-up the right buyer. However, with the rampant usage of internet and virtual open houses, questions have risen as to whether it is helpful or not.

Most home sellers and buyers aren't aware that the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) has a secret data field which contains important information that is only visible to real estate agents. This hidden data field is where the commission rate and special comments about a property are published. "Soooo what", you say? This unknown field is precisely where professional home builders discreetly advertise huge incentives to agents whose clients buy their homes. For example, a Las Vegas builder, American West, recently offered agents a $15,000 bonus to sell homes in its Glen Eagles development, provided they come in with a full-price offer within 30 days. Home buyers would not be able to see this incentive...

Keep your business promises, no matter how small they may be. Sounds like the most basic of business principles, doesn't it? Why then do so few businesses keep their day to day promises? This is something I've always taken for granted in my business dealings, but my own recent experiences have highlighted how much of a real differentiator reliability can be to online and offline to businesses that excel in this area. If you want to make people remember and trust your brand, keep your promises, no matter how big or small. Think about it this way. If your business website promises delivery within 24 hours, but your actual delivery time is 48 hours, what does that say to to your customers? Surely...

It is so true that many network marketing lead generation companies make a fortune selling leads to people like you who really need them to begin with. The question that bothers most people is this: If those leads are so great, why don't companies use it themselves to promote their own network marketing business? Why do they sell them for as high as $5 a lead? The fact is that lead generation companies know that it is more profitable to sell leads than to follow up on them for a business opportunity presentation because they already know the conversion rate is incredibly low. So does that make it unethical for them to sell you those kinds of leads? Fact: There Are Many Reputable Lead Generation...

For the uninitiated, Point and Figure charting is the only charting method that analyzes price without the noise of time. The noise amplification of time in other forms of charting - Candlesticks, Heikin Ashi and OHLC is visually disruptive as you toggle between daily, minute, weekly and monthly charts. This visual confusion is removed with Point and Figure charts. They are binary in their construction - either there is a buy/sell signal or buy/sell pattern or there is not. It is in this style of clear-cut clarity that Jeremy du Plessis writes his book. Jeremy trained as an automotive engineer, then studied as an economist, but gave both up to become a Technical Analyst. He founded Indexia Research...

Maintaining sales motivation in an uncertain economy is tough when we become a product of that environment. As the world is discussing the downturn in the economy more and more, we are also attracting a downturn in our behaviors. We spend less, do less and wait it out. That is the wrong thing to do! Wake up! Refuse to be part of any negative environment or uncertain economy. It will only bring you down.

You are a professional and have to maintain professionalism in all that you do. That means, to keep doing what you have always done...

One of the most effective ways to improve the gross margin you earn on each sale is to focus on gross margin rather than markup on cost. As I have written many times, it's easy to get into a markup rut; that is, into the habit of using the same old markups over and over again to arrive at your sell prices. While this is certainly a convenient way to price merchandise, it is not healthy for yours or your company's gross margin. One of the most effective ways to optimize gross margin when pricing is to "think gross margin." In other words, think in terms of how much gross margin you wish to earn on a sale and price accordingly. The way this is done, of course, is to divide the cost of the product(s...

What does it mean to short a stock? This means that you borrow the stock from your broker to sell to a third party. The idea is to buy back the stock at a lower price, returning the shares to your broker while leaving the remaining cash in your account as a profit. Put another way, a short seller does not own the stock before they sell it. Instead, they borrow it from another investor who already owns it. At a later date, the short seller buys back the stock they shorted and returns the stock to close out the loan. If the stock has fallen in price since they sold short, they can buy the stock back for less than they received for selling it. The difference is your profit. Short selling is a...

You are probably wondering why I decided to write an article to explain how to sell an investment for a gain. But if you are anything like me, you have probably also seen a gain on an investment melt away and ending with you eventually selling the investment for a smaller gain or a loss. Selling for a gain in contrast to selling to limit a loss is a pleasurable experience. In this article I will suggest strategies you can use to maximise your gains. Movement of the share in the ranking If you buy stocks based on a ranking or mechanical strategy, such as a low price to earnings ratio, low price to book ratio, or high dividend yield, the movement of the stock from cheap to expensive through the...

One of the Forex Day Trading Strategy that is often used by day traders is to buy and sell the same currency pair, same lots same time. In other words, you are taking both long and short positions in the same currency pair at the same time. For example, buy 1 lot of EurUSD at 1.4239 and sell 1 lot of EurUSD for 1.4234. Note the difference between the buy and sell rate. This is the spread. Why pay the spread? The reason for buying and selling the same currency pair, same lots, same timing is that you are hedging your position. The up or down movement of the currency pair will provide you the opportunity to make profit. Place a stop loss of 5 pips and take profit of 15 pips on both the orders...

Many times new traders who have done well in a demo account open up a live account and things start to fall apart. Having real money on the line is very different emotionally than trading pretend money. When losing in a live account, every pip can result is feelings of frustration or pure joy. These emotions can cause traders to make different trading decisions in that live account than were made when trading in the demo account. This usually leads to more losing trades. But trading live and making the same decisions when no money was at risk is key to your success as a trader. No matter how hard you try, you cannot move up to the next level of trading until you learn how to risk real money. That...

Buying a new horse fence can be a very expensive undertaking and is one that many people like to think about very carefully. However, when the need arises to have something new, most people replace what they had with the same sort of fencing. This is understandable because they know that the fencing has lasted a certain amount of time, it has kept their animals safe and has provided them with a good service, well in most cases anyway. This often makes people reluctant to buy new things as they know that they will get a reasonable service what they have known. Some people just do not like the idea of taking risks at all and with something as important and expensive as this then it is understandable...
