Parade of Techniques:

1. If you use Gmail, there is a free app called Google Keep. Check it out and see if you could replace your SMART week with it. It allows you to color-block, puts it on both places at the same time. It’s wonderful! Give it a shot.

2. We’ve been so obsessed with Zillow reviews, and Yelp, and other kinds of reviews, and we forget that the biggest SEO optimizer is Google reviews!

Ask the Experts:

1. I have to find three listings from nowhere. Where can I look?

2. It’s the fourth quarter. I haven’t done my “see” yet. I wanna see my people on the Book of Business, but I want to do something unique this year. My client appreciation, I wanna make a splash in the market. What can I do that’s unique this year?

Parade of Techniques:

1. Who’s the perfect client for you? Isn’t it somebody who lives in your market, frequently moves, stays in your market, and refers all their friends and family to you?


2. Working with sellers who are dirty, messy, and cluttery? Communicate to your sellers that counters and shelvings should be 75% bare. Make it mathematical, make it logical!

Ask The Experts:

1. I’ve been asked to be on a panel at a retreat for producers. And the question is, “What have you done this year, to improve your business? What have you done during the pandemic to improve your business?”


2. What do you do when you go on a listing appointment and every instinct is telling you, “They’re trying to take advantage of me. They just need a second opinion. They’ve already made a decision to go with a different Realtor.” ?

Parade of Techniques:

1. This is a local bank, not a big bucks bank, that does ‘umbrella loans’. They do a loan for the first mortgage on the seller’s house, and it’s interest only for 16 months! Find a local lender who’s willing to do that, and get that umbrella loan alternative going for you, and you’ll get more listings.

2. You’re having an open house because you’re in control of your listing inventory, you’re not going to present offers until after the Open House, anyway. Here is a fun idea for the night before...

Ask the Experts:

1. "I just had my best month ever! And all I’m doing now is managing the transactions."

2. "My number one goal is to keep my transactions together. The challenge I’m having is, how do you handle those post-inspection buyers who want stupid repairs?"

PARADE OF TECHNIQUES:

1. How many conversations are you having each week? One piece of advice: focus on a subject that would get them to answer. Best results come from exciting news!

2. Are you preparing to be away from your business for a couple of days or weeks and are feeling guilty about it? You can’t recapture, you can only capture. Capture those moments and you will remember them.

ASK THE EXPERTS:

1. I can’t handle all these buyers! They’re everywhere! This is not where I want to focus my business. I want listings. I want to focus my time and energy on listings. How do I say no to these people without destroying my relationships?"

2. "I’ve been so busy lately. How do I keep my energy up? There’s just so much going on! I’m overwhelmed!"

Parade of Techniques:

1. An ad campaign that’s working on social media and it’s called, “Don’t be homeless when you sell your home.” And that’s getting real interest from people who have homes to sell and then buy!

2. The reason to use an app called Homesnap. It’s about controlling what the buyer sees. If the buyer shops on Zillow, they get all the other agents’ contact information as well. But if they shop on your Homesnap App, every property is available to them, however, it’s all bracketed by your own branding!

Ask the Experts:

1. How do I stay focused on building a listing inventory?

2. Oh my gosh! These people are driving me crazy! They’re not even nice, they’re mean! They’re treating me terribly! I just don’t know what to do. I don’t even like this job anymore. I really thought about quitting. What’s your advice?

Parade of Techniques:

1. You know how people are saying, “Oh August, the market has slowed down. We’ll see what happens in September.” When the market seems a little slower, when you have a window of time, what’s your plan? Do you have an overall, overarching marketing plan?

2. A tip from someone who “broke through the lull he was in” and ended up with one new listing and one sale!

Ask the Experts:

1. “I took a listing, gave the seller a price, and the seller wanted more…and more and more…. Weeks later, the seller has decided, “The market is so good. I’m going to take it off the market. I’m going to fix some things up, do some repairs, and then I’m going to put it back on in March of 2022.” What do I do?”

2. How do I compete against flat fees and discounters? How do I prove my value during the listing presentation?
