How can you tell people about your new property activity without being pushy?

Prepare a clear introduction

Replace a long sales pitch with three facts: what you actually do, your area and the projects you support. If you are starting out, be transparent and explain your support arrangements without claiming someone else’s experience. Before offering a service, check that your professional framework allows you to provide it.

Choose a conversation, not a mass message

Start with a few people for whom a conversation makes sense. Ask whether it is a good time. Adapt this example: “I am developing my property activity in this area. If someone you know has a project, I can explain how I work.” A polite reply is not a request for follow-up: leave the door open and accept a refusal.

Be useful before asking for an introduction

Listen and suggest a relevant resource, an explanation of the process or an agreed later conversation. For introductions, ask your contact to pass your details to the person concerned, who can then approach you directly. The Paris Île-de-France Chamber of Commerce highlights useful communication and maintaining relationships over time.

Follow up without pressure

After a conversation, record only what is needed: the topic, agreed next action and preferred timing. Keep your promise even if there is no immediate project. At your weekly review, consider what people understood and which questions recur. Improve your introduction with Élodie instead of judging progress solely by the number of messages sent.

Frequently asked questions

Should I contact my entire address book?

No. A relevant selection and individual conversations are a better starting point than a general appeal.

What if nobody has a project?

Keep learning, meeting professionals and explaining your activity clearly. A conversation without an immediate project is not a failure.

Can I promise a quick sale?

No: explain your method and planned steps without guaranteeing a deadline or an outcome.
