Rooms worth visiting
Front Porch -- Best place to ask a question, share some tips (gossip!) or contact me for any reason whatsoever. Coffee is always fresh here!
Media Room -- Great place to see me showing off. Lots of info in this room about my speaking experience, previous presentations, and how I can help make your next real estate event a rock'n success.
Tool Shed -- This is where I keep all the best real estate and online marketing tools hidden. From CRM and lead management tools to social networking and mobile ideas to analytics and tracking tools, I've got a bit of everything in there.

Food for thought but … in my freezer I have grinds from all over…Peets and Cole Coffee (maybe the best coffee I’ve ever tasted located in Oakland).
I really think the drug Starbuck’s loyalists are addicted to is the experience. In NYC and here in CA where I spend most of my time, there are far too many other choices yet few have the lines like they do.
John: There’s no doubt that Starbucks has created an incredible experience and Marc made some great points in his post about the importance of passion in sales… However, Starbucks has thrived because it does one thing really well: They make a damn strong (and addicting!) cup of coffee.
(Peet’s does that really well too!).

I think you’ve made the point stronger Dustin. Starbucks did something that made a difference and stood out. All coffee is by nature is addictive. Its what Starbucks did with their product that few others have.
