We start by answering questions from various Facebook groups on everything from how to train your ISA’s to set up appointments, the best script for really old Expired’s, and how to market a property with strict HOA guidelines on signs and showings.
Then we dive into profitability, ways to increase your value and make more money in real estate. First we cover skill-building - including what skills you can build and how skill-building will make you more money. The better your sales skills, the higher percentage of appointments you’ll set and the more clients you’ll attract, even if all else stays equal. Or you develop your marketing skills to generate more leads and you’ll attract clients even if you don’t increase your closing percentage.
Next we cover specialization, options include luxury, REO, certain areas of your market, price ranges, new construction, investors, Expired listings, land, developments, first-tim homebuyers, commercial, and much more. Consumers are coming more and more to expect professionals to specialize in solving their specific problem for clients who look just like them. The more you can show past success with the same type of clients and a track record of solving the same type of problem, the easier it will be to attract more of the same clients with the same problems.
