🎤A follow-up sequence running quietly in the background just pulled a grieving seller back from the edge of foreclosure and she never knew it was automated.
What if the person who saved your deal wasn't a person at all? Host Jim sits down with Keith Gillispie, founder of REI Automated, to unpack exactly what happens when follow-up runs on autopilot for years, not weeks.
Keith built REI Automated after eight years of active-duty Marine service and 13 overseas deployments, growing a team of 18 real estate investor virtual assistants across 34 states before launching his six-software "Deal OS" in October 2019.
Listen for the real math behind lead follow-up, how REI Automated's AI decides when to hand a conversation to a human, and the story of one seller who came back years later grateful for something she didn't know had a name.
