My Preferred Vendor List and Referral System Basics 101
I maintain a list of my Preferred Vendors on my web site for the convenience of my clients when they are preparing their midtown Tulsa home for sale. If they need a reference for someone to refinish their hardwood floors, paint a dining room or repair drywall, they can find all of those contacts on my Preferred Vendor list.
Realtors are asked for recommendations for repair people and service personnel all the time. Perhaps because we network so much, we are considered trustworthy professionals who keep up to date with this type of information.I keep this list available and updated on my web site and my clients and those who read my blog refer to it constantly.
Occasionally someone will drop me a note and let me know that they were pleased with the service or quality of work of someone listed, which obviously makes me want to refer them more.
A few months ago I received an e-mail from someone I did not know who was DISPLEASED with someone on my list. He explained in detail what he was unhappy about, told me that this vendor would not rectify his problems and wanted to make me aware of the situation since I listed him as a reliable resource. It had been a few years since I used this vendor, so I gave him a call. When he didn't return MY call, he was removed immediately from my list.
My Preferred Vendor List and Referral System Basics 101
People, Realtors included, love to recommend those with whom we've had a good experience. But let us down just ONCE, and you will have little chance of redeeming yourself.
Referrals are often the life-line of a Realtor's business. When someone refers me to a friend wanting to buy or sell a home in midtown Tulsa, I want to thank them for their referral by providing the most professional and reliable service possible. I expect the same professional courtesy from vendors I recommend.
My promise to you is that I will do what I say I'll do -- sometimes more, but never less.
