When will agents understand there are no free computers to be had?

Every agent in our office recently received an email from a Broker/Owner of a competing brokerage.  The email was similar to the numerous other spam offers I have seen over the years.  Much like the old fashion hand written chain letters according to this email the path to a free computer was simply to forward the email to 8 of your closest friends and a brand new laptop will be arriving at your door within days.

When will agents understand there are no free computers to be had?  I predict agents will finally get it when:

• When the number of agents who blog exceed the number who don’t.
• When agents start checking their email account regularly.
• When agents start consistently listing their website addresses on all their marketing pieces.

Until that time I am confident will continue to find these amazing computer offers in my inbox from agents who would not understand how to get the best use of the computer even if it was given to them.
