Quotes:

“It is all about branding to show your differentiation in your local market.” 

“People don’t care what you charge, they just care that the cost was justified.”

“Nobody is going to your website to review homes, they are going to your website to review you.”

Key takeaways

It is better and more effective to attract business, than chase it. 

Any type of marketing is better than NO marketing, but strive to do good marketing. 

Stop trying to compete against billion dollar companies. 

Video is the fastest way to get your face in front of people at scale. 

Understanding the difference between branding and marketing is key. 

Being consistent with your video helps you become more unforgettable than your competition. 

Being a generalist will not help your brand, but having a niche will.
