Amazing Place – LinkedIn July 30, 2009


image Oh the people I’ve met…

and the laughs I’ve had conversing with folks from all over the world since early 2008 when I got hooked on the Q&A on LinkedIn.  There were those who wondered what I was doing engaging in this endeavor but the conversations are funny, intriguing, and informative.  I’ve made friends from all over the planet.  It brings together people from so many countries including Canada, Mexico, Latvia, India, Croatia, South Africa, England, Netherlands, Singapore and so many more.  And people from all 50 United States, of course.

My involvement in this forum and gathering so many worthwhile connections gave me the idea and confidence enough to springboard my own relocation business this year that assists “regular Joes” in their selling, buying, moving process.  Just yesterday I had a call from a gal who is moving from one West Coast city to another and has a ton on her plate and didn’t know where to start.  The task, you must admit, can be very daunting.

What seems like a ton of work for her is straightforward for me.  It’s what I do – connect “regular Joes” to the capable professionals they need to get every job done in the selling, buying, moving process.  How do “regular Joes” typically find reputable, responsible professionals quickly to get this big job done?  She was wise in contacting me.  Within short order, I had the team in place to start assisting her so she and her husband can get a game plan going.

Before the end of the day, I was able to do the following for them:

  • Find a reputable real estate company/agent to list and market their current home
  • They are organized to meet with a household mover.
  • They have been introduced to a reputable auto transporter.
  • They have a reputable company/agent to assist them in finding a rental initially.
  • They have a reputable company/agent to assist them in a purchase once their home sells

ONE PHONE CALL is all it took for them to get a plan.  There was no combing the internet to piece it together.  Gears switched immediately from stress to sanity.  This gal knew of me through a group we’re both part of on LinkedIn.  There is a certain baseline trust that develops when you are surrounded by others you all know.  There is an honor code built in. 

I have spent time putting one foot in front of the other on LinkedIn and it has given me many new friends and afforded me the strength to start my own relocation business – doing the same work I’ve been doing for years but now in my own business.  It’s working and in 2009 that is an exciting thing to wake up every single day to a new and fun challenge.

This is an invitation to you – if you are moving and have no corporate relocation assistance to connect the dots for you – to contact me for that assistance.  We can talk and you can decide if this is going to be a better way to go than piecing it altogether yourself.  I stand by the whole time and remain a phone call or email away. 

The service costs YOU nothing.  I am committed to you and work to get positive feedback each time, every time.  Your satisfaction is my focus.

Wow Mary, I knew you were talented, but you are really the “go to” person for all things regarding relocation. I am not surprised because anytime I needed information for one of my transferees you were game on and right now. I have appreciated the professionalism and vast knowledge and resources you seem to have at your finger tips! I will continue to direct people to the most knowledgeable relocation professional I know.

Thanks for all your help!

Ed
