Channel partner is not a new phenomenon, some call them brokers or agents, while others as sales partners or channel partners. Here channel partner essentially means an organization that facilities real estate developer to sell real estate and gets a percentage share in exchange, a brokerage. Channel partner term is relatively new and has hit the high with advent of internet property listing portals. Initially it was believed that the property listing portals would cannibalize the real estate broking business and initially they did try to do it but due to few known and other unknown reasons, it did not continue that path of removing the middle man between Builder Developer and the Buyer.

  Nugget 2 #story #telling With some solid fact based story that your project or company has (of your client, staff, worker or anyone associated with your company or project) sow, that story - with an appropriate influencer who tells that story on behalf of you (with your project name or your company name playing a background role in the entire story). So if you have celebrity clients, some renowned artist or writer or anyone who has special story to share and stays in project you handed over or currently in process. It has a 100X impact than an advertisement format especially online. It takes curation but ‘hey it’s damn fresh and impactful’. Make sure the influencer is also the part of the story and feels connected with it. Honest, Fact full and heart felt stories are what people looking for and I believe there are many around us. Even one story this year will do. Start with one story. Cheers Advit
