Many agents fall in the trap of relying on scripts too much and as a result all their listing appointments are robotic. How can we escape that? What's the best use for your personal and business Facebook accounts? Why must you always dress for success? In this episode, award-winning realtor Leigh Brown shares her thoughts on brand building and the importance of being honest in real estate.

Takeaways + Tactics
Do very short, very personal videos under 30 seconds long - tell them something they can't get from Zillow.
Separate yourself by figuring out your unique value and branding yourself around that.
A market correction is coming, get prepared and get educated NOW.

First we talked about Leigh's background in real estate and how that relates to her past of selling chainsaws. She then shared her thoughts on ebooks about pre-listing packages and why it's not worth going through all that effort for an additional line in your email signature. Gene Volpe then joined us to share his thoughts about pushing out as much content as you can to keep your audience interested. Leigh disagreed with that, pointing out that while frequency is important, you need to build a good posting plan that makes sense for the audience. She then mentioned her recent winning tactic of showing videos in a specific radius, so you can attract neighbors to your listing. We also talked about Leigh's new book, Outrageous Authenticity, and her advice on branding yourself. Leigh finished the episode by explaining why you need to enhance your online content and offer unique value for customers, which can help increase your revenue.

Being genuine can sell your business much better than any pre-learned script can. Utilize your authenticity to the maximum to connect with clients and achieve real success. Working on your online image is a big part of that. Don't get bogged down with making every post on your personal page about your business - that's what you have your business page for. Show people that you're not a robot and that you have your thoughts, opinions and feelings about certain things. That way you can not only build rapport before even having met a client, but it will also save you from having to work with people who fundamentally disagree with you. Encourage yourself to think outside the box and believe in your own unique qualities. When you combine that authenticity with your knowledge and experience, your business success is as good as guaranteed.
