Some key takeaways:

➡️ Door knocking requires discussion of barriers like emotional and ego costs but can yield high returns. 
➡️ Consistent follow-ups are vital, with potential to secure between one to three instructions per hour. 
➡️ Direct mail should be strategic; smaller, more targeted campaigns can be highly effective. 
➡️ Leveraging content like blogs, video scripts, and graphics can establish your agency’s credibility.

Some great moments:

✅ “Lead generating activities must be chosen carefully; CRMs are not the quick fix some agents might think.” 
✅ “The success of direct mail depends significantly on the content and approach; it should always aim for a win-win.” 
✅ “Content is your platform for building trust and long-term engagement with potential clients.”
