Takeaways + Tactics

Anytime you feel like you've hit a ceiling, you're missing a relationship in life.
We started off the show with some audience questions and Dave's advice on dealing with specific objections. Dave pointed out the benefits of throwing out a third party testimonial to get the deal. Dave then talked about his background and how he got into real estate through being an active prospector. We then talked about expanding out of your own state through resale - Dave said he sees a lot of potential in South Carolina already, so he prefers to stay local. Dave then explained his 71 Touch Strategy as his winning plan for growing your database. Then we moved on to talk about Dave's existing business - he revealed the important role of having fun and accurately tracking performance. Finally Dave talked about the importance of having the correct motivation when deciding to expand in your business.

Determination is key. Be on the phone every day, calling out again and again, and have a positive mindset when it comes to expanding. That will help you grasp the opportunity you need to really make it big. Your best opportunity is in the area you're local to, the area you know and love. Identify the top potential and make sure to grab it when you can. Surround yourself with people who have the same goals - that'll help you build a disciplined team that moves towards a common goal. Finally, remember to be fun. People want to engage with someone who wants to have fun, so keep your entertaining personality because customers will relate to that and subconsciously choose you over someone else.
