The business manager of the Apple Store here in town invited Nestor and I to be the presenters at the Apple Business Networking Seminar.
He asked us to speak about how we use the Macs and iPhones in our real estate business. Most of the people in attendance were fellow Realtors® who have been thinking about making the switch. There were also a few other entrepreneurs.
The video of our presentation is about 40 minutes long. It was funny because one of the Apple staff had their video camera all set up to video the presentation. I then took out my Apple Nano and asked one of the staff to video the seminar. The Nano is so amazingly steady, dependable and precise.
Nestor spoke first about how we get on the MLS now with IDS Links which is provided to all members of our MLS. He also talked about Daylite and other software and apps that he likes to use.
I can not get my video uploaded to youtube right now because it is longer than 10 minutes. I will have to do so some editing first, that may take a while:)
I then spoke about how we built our online and offline real estate newsletter with pages and how we make our own podcasts of our newsletters.
We met a sister team who manufactures Apple Lap Top Cases and matching iPod/phone cases. They were just approved by Apple to sell their cases in the online Apple Store. They really were interested in hiring us to help them with their SEO and online marketing campaigns. We are going to write a post about their entrepreneur story.
We also met an agent who is moving to Reno Nevada and contracted us to coach to help him kick off his real estate business in a new market. The networking even turned out to be very fruitful for us.
We went into the event with the intent to pay it forward. It ended up being a win/win event for all.
Here is the thank you note that Jay, the Apple business manager sent to Nestor after the event.
"Nestor, We want to thank you for your loyalty to Apple and our fabulous products, We also appreciate your time, interest, passion, and willingness to share your business and real estate knowledge. You and Katerina have gone over and beyond the call of duty helping us in our Business Networking Seminars and Apple Real Estate Workshops. We hope you will continue to participate in our future events.
Thank you again,
Jay,
Jay Jenkins,
Business Manager,
Apple Store, The Gardens Mall
Jay received positive feedback from those in attendance. The word got back to the rest of the business managers at Apple Stores in our county. The manager of the Boca Raton Apple Store just sent us an invite to do this presentation at his store in Boca Raton.

You guys are SO amazing. You'll soon be the apple of Apple's eye.
This is so cool, what a great way to be recognized as an expert in your community. I wouldn't expect anything less for you and Nestor...
Talk about a timely post. I just picked up my new IPad yesterday. I haven't made the switch to Apple...yet. I have marveled at their innovative products for years. Apple and Google are 2 companies to keep an eye on.

Very exciting Katerina! I can't wait to see the matching lap top and iPhone cases! I would also love to meet the new Reno agent. If you want to give him my name and number he can call me. I can welcome him to the neighborhood!
Congratulations on all of your much deserved successes!!
Terrie: Thanks! That will be great. He will need to have some friends as they are moving to be closer to his wife's family. Thanks for being so thoughtful.
That is great. Hope to see the video when you post it.
Very impressive Katerina. Just deserts for your hard and earnest work.
Katerina, it doesn't surprise me at all that you and Nestor would be invited to your local genius bar!!! You two have so much to share with others.
I'm fairly new to the mac (am on the macbook this morn) and have a lot to learn. Having been so lucky to win that iPad (which is on order) I need to familiarize myself even more w/Mac sutff... Would love to watch the video if you share the link!!!
