How do you feel about herding cats?
If you've ever been a cat owner, you know that herding cats is about impossible. Unlike our faithful canine companions, even here in Shell Knob, MO, felines do not train well. They don't come when called (unless it is chow time). They don't sit or stay on command. They are independent creatures. I loved that commercial last spring where it showed cowboys herding hundreds of cats! Sure they did!
The Herding Cats premise, is about the same as trying to show houses to more than one couple at a time. I don't recall ever selling a house to a couple when they show up with friends or family,
The last time this occurred to me, there were 5 adults. I had previously worked with one of them, but knew he was scouting for a lake house that two families would be buying together.
I finally get to meet them all at once. My sales senses go into overload -
Who is the leader?
Do I stay with the older or the younger generation ? They enter a house and scatter in at least 3 directions.
Which ones do you follow?
The property that I thought would meet most of their needs has sold, of course (Murphy;s Law?).
The other two are either too expensive or too small, or too this or too that!
So what do you do when they show up unexpectedly on your doorstep (office)?
All suggestions gratefully accepted.
