Robert Vegas Bob Swetz It doesn't take much effort. Put together a detailed Marketing Plan and present it to the seller. It will carry a lot of weight when they see it in writing.

Vegas Bob is with Michael Setunsky on presenting a detailed marketing plan for the home owner.

And I also like this part of Michael Jacob's answer: 

I talk about teamwork and by working together we can achieve the best possible results.

Topped off by Debe Maxwell's answer:

I have a slideshow presentation that shows all of the marketing that the sellers can expect during the listing of their home.  We review it in detail and never have they asked me to do something besides print marketing in the first week...of course, I say NO to that!

I give them a detailed marketing plan that explains it all. If they get caught up on one item or another I quickly get them to focus on all the other things. At the end I always ask if there is anything else they would like to add and have yet to have anyone add a thing.
