How many real estate trainers do you know who are invited to train in Turkey? I know one in particular who is always Tweeting from parts unknown or in an airport. Brad Hanks who lives in Douglas County is seldom home to enjoy it. Instead as a Social Media Evangelist, he travels spreading the word. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Brad will be able to attend REBC, because he is worth hearing.
In case there are some who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Brad Hanks, let’s take care of that soon. In the meantime, Welcome to the REBC Blog Brad…
Tell us a little bit about yourself, are you a Colorado native or what brought you to Colorado?
I moved to Colorado in 1985 after graduate school. I had job offers on the east coast, but decided to move to Colorado and roll the dice for employment because I loved the area. I figured I’d rather live somewhere I loved and find a job, rather than take a job that took me somewhere I didn’t like.
Who do you work for and why do you enjoy your job?
I’m self employed, and love what I do (speaking, training and consulting), because it takes me to so many different parts of the country and introduces me to so many new people.
What is your favorite tech tool for business? Why is it your favorite?
Overall, social media would be my favorite tool for business, even though it’s not “technology.” Social media is about interaction, engagement and developing relationships. It’s my favorite tool since it deals with the strengthening the foundation of sales – relationships.
What would you like to learn more about at REBC-Denver?
How others are using technology to get business. I’m looking for specific strategies that have impacted someone’s bottom line positively.
Do you play to present a topic? If so what would you like to talk about?
I’d love to present. I can present on a variety of topics, from specific applications like LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook, to broader topics such as social media risk management, building your brand, or online reputation monitoring and management.
