Kevin Cullis was introduced to me a couple months ago by master networker, Mary Steinmeyer. She knew Kevin and I would hit it off right away because he is such a geek (meant in a kind way!). Well she was right. Kevin has such enthusiasm for what he does, it’s hard not to get drawn in. He recently authored and published his own book and is now in the process of marketing it. His experience will be interesting to hear about. Since we all have a book inside of us perhaps Kevin will inspire us to write.
It’s my pleasure to introduce Kevin Cullis to REBarCamp Denver blog…
Kevin you recently wrote and published a book. Could you tell us about your book?
What is it about?
There are currently two general genres of books: business and computer books. Business books that cover all types of imaginable topics and computer books covering how to use and fix computers, but nothing that brings these two subjects together into one: A business or project management perspective of using a computer. Just as you get a drivers, and not maintenance, manual for your new car, my book is about the same. I provide a business the computer “drivers manual” giving you the essential of things you need to do for your business on a Mac. A PC version will be coming out later.
How would it relate to us in the real estate industry?
No matter if you run an online business, a traditional brick-and-mortar business, or a real estate business, there is a computer at the center of it. Unfortunately, many business resist technology and never fully maximize what their computers can do. In many cases, they may be searching for solutions to difficult business problems – solutions that are hiding in plain site, right on their computers! Every business deals with marketing, sales, and the actual running of their business and at each step it takes time, and in some cases, money, to make a business work. Spending some time learning how to do better on your computer will actually save money, in some cases, many times over.
Are you involved in social media?
Yes, I’m involved with FaceBook, Twitter, and LinkedIn with Facebook getting my most frequent use.
How do you use social media to leverage your business?
By far the first and most important is making connections with others on a regular basis. All sales are about relationships and social media helps bring it together.
First, it’s all about connections with others, especially of like-minded individuals, such as fellow entrepreneurs and business owners. Some of my connections have some of the greatest daily encouragements, and as any business person can tell you, we all need it everyday. I even have a Facebook fan page for my book, “How to Start a Business: Mac Version” that I can interact with my fan base. This will become more important as I can target specific people on Facebook with their advertising as I see fit and can draw in more fans.
Are you coming to REBC Denver and would you like to present a topic?
Yes
Which topic?
How to establish instant credibility with your clients by writing your own short book in 90-120 days.
How can we contact you? (email, phone, twitter handle)
