Coming from a former production manager, communication takes style and you have to meet people where they are at. If they're at "Crocker's Rules," awesome! That takes 25 to 50% of the work out of the writing. They could be at "my best work was just trashed and I'm ready to quit," to which you could slow your roll and work through the crisis. Keep adding to your comm tools and you won't need one-size-fits-all theories.
People who are paying attention see that the government is changing rules daily. Feel safe today? Wait until tomorrow when Trump decides he wants to do something that you're in the way of.
I would have loved this when I worked in commercial real estate. Monitoring competition may have hooked me but I think there's another layer to monitoring clients.
I have been suggested speaking to real estate businesses to see how useful it would be.
A friend of mine used to work for a real estate company and said his company and their competitors were always at loggerheads and complaining about each other breaking rules etc. this would have stoked the fire a little!
To be blunt, you can count on real estate people wanting to smell each others' buttholes... and they have money. They provide the motivation and the cash, you provide the mechanism. Seems like a match made in heaven.
That's a nice daydream - but v1.0 gave them exclusive rights to update the ToS or pick arbiters. Along with lots of other "heads we win, tails you lose" stuff. :(
Bwahaha! I'm 55 and just started grad school at an R1 because I can't compete. Fucking scary as hell! My lab partner is 23, I get up as my peers are going to bed, and I work hard to not say, "In my day..." BUT, I love being enrolled. The resources are incredible and networking is in high gear again.
I had the privilege of living in a remote village in the Catskills. I've never missed a place so much! I can attest to the Science of Awe. We need that connection in our lives.
But that's how it goes. As late as 2005, the real estate agents I worked with finally began to trust email over fax machines. It cracked an egg wide open for them. Now relying on email, they were able to do 10x the work (I have no real data BUT I do know their incomes went from low six figures to multiple six figures). Prior to their adoption, they just thought email was a novelty and legally couldn't be relied upon.
Also, do you own something if it can be forcibly taken away when you don't pay an annual fee? Rent or tax, call it what you want, the outcome is the same if you don't pay.
