🚨 OPEN TRAINING FOR ALL AGENTS - ALL BROKERAGES! 🚨

I will be hosting a Sales Training session on an evening in mid October to train agents on 3 great ways to find new clients and how to position yourself as the GO TO professional to help them achieve their Real Estate goals.

This is open to ALL AGENT from ALL BROKERAGES, and is FREE!

I'll host it in a neutral location somewhere central.

If you are interested please let me know here or DM me so I can coordinate accordingly.

Real Talk: Most agents will blame their brokerage, team or the market before blaming themselves.

If you are one of these agents that plays the blame game - ask yourself: have you taken advantage of the opportunities where you are, and done all you can? Or are you entitled, immature and with poor work ethic?

Don't be a horse that's led to water but then too stuck up to drink.

You get paid to pay attention.

Remember that.

Pay attention to the market, to the details, to the situation, to the wants and needs.

Pay attention to your sphere, your leads, and your clients.

Keep your eyes and ears open and your focus on paying attention to those that can ultimately pay you.

Q3 is around the corner, and if you want to succeed in it - you're going to have to pay attention and work diligently to certain aspects of your career.

Traditionally, Q3 is a slower Q because in Ottawa, people like to take their vacations during this time.

So what do you need to focus on?

Two Things - NOW Business and Mindshare for Q4.

You really need to get some NOW money by focusing on Stage 3 Buyers that are looking at houses NOW! Where can you find them? In your Stage 3 list and in Open Houses. You need to familiarize yourself with the Sales Process and what is required to move prospects down the line step by step, be in front of as many as possible, and quickly and effectively help them down the line.

There will be fewer in the pipeline - so you need to be sharp and deliberate.

With regards to Mindshare - work on reaching out to your database with value in a routine fashion so that when Q4 comes around you will be the obvious choice to go to as their Realtor.

Newsletters, Social Media, Mass texts and Email Campaigns all centered around clear and valuable information. Brand yourself as the clear choice.

This will be the quarter where your habits will determine your success.

Take the summer off and hang out on Patios? Watch your pipeline dry up and your Q4 will be dead and you'll be broke and out of work by Q2 in 2024.

Routinely do open houses and spend some time sending out valuable communications? You'll cruise through Q3 and have lots of business in Q4.

Your choice.

Door knocking can be a useful strategy for real estate agents looking to connect with potential clients in their target neighborhoods. Here are some tips to make the most of your door knocking efforts:

Dress professionally: Dress in professional attire that is comfortable and weather-appropriate. You want to make a good first impression and show that you are serious about your business.

Bring marketing materials: Bring flyers, business cards, and any other marketing materials that you can leave with homeowners. Make sure they contain your contact information and a brief summary of your services.

Be prepared with scripts: Prepare scripts for different scenarios, such as when a homeowner is not interested or when they have questions about the local real estate market.

Smile and be friendly: Be polite, smile, and introduce yourself. Your demeanor can go a long way in making a good first impression.

Respect people's privacy: If a homeowner is not interested or asks you to leave, respect their privacy and move on to the next house.

Offer value: Offer to provide a market analysis or answer any questions they may have about the real estate market in their area. This can help you build trust and establish yourself as an expert in the local market.

Follow up: Follow up with homeowners who express interest in your services. Send them a personalized email or handwritten note thanking them for their time and offering to help with any real estate needs they may have.

Remember that door knocking can be a time-consuming and sometimes challenging task, but it can also be an effective way to build relationships and generate leads in the real estate industry.

Working your real estate database effectively can be critical to your success in the industry. Here are some great ways to do so:

Organize your database: Start by organizing your database, ensuring that you have complete and accurate contact information for each of your contacts. You can use a spreadsheet, a customer relationship management (CRM) tool, or a specialized real estate software to store your data.

Segment your database: Create different groups within your database based on criteria such as location, property type, price range, stage of the sales process, and other relevant factors. This will allow you to target your marketing and outreach efforts more effectively.

Regularly update your database: Keep your database up to date by regularly adding new contacts and removing inactive or irrelevant ones. You can do this by regularly reaching out to your contacts to confirm their details and update their preferences.

Use email marketing: Email marketing can be an effective way to stay in touch with your contacts and nurture leads. Use email marketing software to create targeted campaigns, such as newsletters, property alerts, or market updates.

Track your interactions: Keep track of your interactions with your contacts, including phone calls, emails, meetings, and other activities. This will help you to better understand their needs and preferences and tailor your communication accordingly.

Use social media: Social media can be a powerful tool for building and maintaining relationships with your contacts. Use platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to share industry news, property updates, and other relevant information.

Analyze your data: Use data analytics tools to track the performance of your database and identify areas for improvement. This can help you to refine your marketing strategy, optimize your outreach efforts, and ultimately close more deals.

How To Qualify and Close Leads - Pt1.

The key to effective lead qualification is goal-oriented selling.

You’re not picking up the phone or going face to face for your health. You’re there for one reason: to close the sale! In order to get to the promised land, every single word out of your mouth has to be deliberate.

You have to be able to get the lead what they want in a way that you get paid.

Three Tenets of Lead Qualification

• You have to develop instant rapport on both a conscious and an unconscious level. The biggest mistake novice salespeople make is that they think you build rapport by finding things you have in common with someone. The real way to gain rapport is to make a lead understand that you are an expert in your field and that you can help them achieve their goals. You are ALWAYS developing rapport with a lead. From the first time they hear/see you to the last.

• You have to gain intelligence effectively. You have to use a script that has the right questions at the right time. You need to guide the lead through a series of questions and make sure that you listen very carefully to make sure you know how to guide them to the proper solution.

• You have to control the conversation. Sometimes a lead will go off on a tangent and start talking about things that have nothing to do with Real Estate. It is your job as a professional to gracefully bring the conversation back into control

To be able to do this, you'll need powerful scripts and wizard level mastery. I'll talk about that next.

The Richer your Database - the Richer you will be. PERIOD.

Here's how to Nurture Your Database...

There are many ways you can nurture your relationships, and those efforts will be sorted amongst the groups with the most amount of money and effort going to those that have referred you (A’s), and then down the least expensive and time consuming (C’s). The A+’s are a different type of relationship that get a different type of treatment.

Here is how some of those efforts can be divided out amongst the groups.

C Email Newsletters, Invitations to Social Media Pages, Targets of Social Media Ads

B All of the Above PLUS Referral Newsletters, Postcards, Client Events, Birthday Cards, House Anniversary Cards, Entry into Raffles

A Client Gifts, Preference in Raffle Prizes

A+ Everything from group C, B, as well as Invitations to Private Events

How to Build Your Database

Besides having a rich database of relationships and a system for tending to it, you also need a system to constantly grow your database. If you don’t, it will consistently wither away, simply from attrition of any kind. The means in which you decide to grow your database will make up the lead generation systems that you choose to run with during your regular working hours, and this will form how you run your entire real estate business.

Here are a few ways you can build your database:

Open Houses
Online Leads
Door Knocking
Community Events
Referral Systems
Social Media Advertisements

The keys here are to make sure you gather all the appropriate contact information, properly qualify the contact, keep a well documented record of the relationship, and set the appropriate categorization and action plan in place.

As I mentioned above, you need to select one of these that suits your personality, your skills, and your goals. Then, you need to build the system and implement it.

Your database is the name of the game. If you want to have a fulfilling career – both financially and emotionally, then a laser focus on the quality and size of your database is the best way to get it done.

This will give you an endless source of business, keep your costs low, and reduce the stress of always trying to figure out where your next deal will come from.

I’m going to give you the secret to success in Real Estate, and believe me – despite all the catchy phrases about silver bullets and magic sauce – this is the real deal.

This is what other team leaders don’t want you to know. They don’t want you to be able to build your own business, because they believe that if you do, you will leave them.

No, they would rather you remain subverted and dependent on them. They will do what I’m about to show you on their own time, while you continue to spin your wheels – or should I say, their wheel.

What I’m about to show you is literally the difference between being rich and being wealthy. The difference between leasing a building and owning it.

I’ve been a sales trainer and team leader of some of the top producing teams in the City, and I’ve seen hundreds of agents come and go. The difference between them is that the ones that stuck around and TRULY flourished worked on what I’m about to teach you in at least a minor capacity.

Are you ready?

Your Database.

That’s the silver bullet. But while the database is the silver bullet – it’s no good without a gun… or the ability to use it properly.

That’s what I’m going to teach you.

The reason your database is so important is because it will be your source of business for the rest of your career. Need I say more?

The richer your database, the richer you are in return.

It’s really that simple.

And yet – not every agent works their database. Many agents simply go about their lives, consistently prospecting and meeting new people and taking what they can get. They are doomed to forever chase the next lead, and the next deal.

Why do some agents do that? The answer is that while some agents would like to have a Relational Business (built on relationships), others simply want a Transactional one (built on single transactions).

Most people think of a database as a list of names and contact information. I’m here to tell you that it’s so much more than that. Much like a farmer’s field isn’t merely just dirt and plants, but rather rich soil that carefully tended to that provides rich, nutritious food – a good database is a list of relationships that have been carefully nurtured and invested into, and that will return a predictable yield that will provide for you.

The question begs – how do you organize those relationships? The answer lies in the purpose of keeping the list in the first place. What are we hoping to get from our list of relationships? The answer is REFERRALS, and therefore, we shall organize our list of relationships by their propensity to refer us business.

Here is how we do that:

A+ Those that help us build our business. Lawyers, Lenders, Contractors, Investors, Printers, Graphic Designers, Photographers, Videographers, Social Media Experts, Project Managers, Accountants, Bookkeepers etc.

A Those that have referred us business.

B Those that would refer us business if shown how.

C Everyone else who expressed interest in working with us at some point.

Note: For the purposes of Sales, we also categorize LEADS as follows:

Stage 1 Those that are merely inquiring about real estate online

Stage 2 Those that have gone out to see homes or are asking questions about homes

Stage 3 Those who are looking at or selling homes right now, and will likely trade within 30 days

Next time I'll elaborate on how to Nurture this Database so it turns into a long line of referrals :)
