Rudy Bachraty from Trulia interviews Mark Eibner of BrokerIPTV at REBarCamp in Denver

Rudy Bachraty: Hey, I am Rudy from Trulia and I am here with Mark Eibner from Broker IPTV and I am introducing myself because Mark seems to have some trouble in the last few takes.

Interviewer: Yeah.

Rudy Bachraty: So, anyway, so, RE BarCamp Denver was fantastic. This is sort of like the la sera[Phonetic]. Everyone has gone. If you pan out and just kind of see what's happening here, there is pretty much no one left.

Interviewer: And I might add that Rudy was the first guy here this morning, beat us to the venue, unbelievable. How is that Rudy?

Rudy Bachraty: I was the first one here and almost the last one. So, I am the first one here. We recently moved to Fort Collins, Colorado. We heard some really good things about it, did some research and it was a great opportunity for our family and also a good strategy for our business with Trulia. So, look for more regional events here and it's been exciting so far.

Interviewer: Well, we might look at doing more interviews with Rudy down at Broker IPTV in the studio man now, we don't... now we know you live in town. This is kind of like your coming out.

Rudy Bachraty: It was a great coming out party. [Voice Cross Over] Thank you everyone for coming. I can't thank you enough, you know, thank you.

Interviewer: Yeah, you know, I guess, what I was joking about was Todd Carpenter[Phonetic] left, went to Chicago, and you just moved right in.

Rudy Bachraty: Saw a great opportunity to actually steal some market share now that Todd left. I have been doing really well since I have been here for the last three weeks. So, thanks Todd. Opened up a nice door there for us, but seriously, you know, this event, let's talk about this event, this event was fantastic. This is my third BarCamp. It was very well organized, very well attended and I think everyone got a lot of out it. Personally, I got a lot out of it. I learned from Lorelle at WordPress that the new it term is f-to-f. You know what f-to-f is?

Interviewer: No, no.

Rudy Bachraty: So, we kind of know b-to-b, b-to-c, so, f-to-f is the face-to-face, face-to-face, which is powerful and which is why all of you, if you have an opportunity to attend one of these events locally, go for it. You get a lot out of it.

Interviewer: Yeah. You know, what is ironic is we have got all these... so, I have[Phonetic] a couple of hundred brokers, we had maybe 50 reservations, 10 showed up, and here is ironically who they were, the 10 that showed up were all some of the bigger producers in the organization who didn't even have time to really be here. So, where are the other 40 that aren't doing as much business and they are not here?

Rudy Bachraty: Well, he goes to the whole rule of the 80:20, so, those that are proactive in the business, they are the ones that are showing up at events like this and actually making things happen. So, be one of those people and attend a BarCamp next time.

Interviewer: Thanks for the great interview.

Rudy Bachraty: Take care guys.
