Lessons from the music industry to working in real estate

Living in gratitude

• Appreciate the things in your life that make you feel blessed and lucky.
• Get out of bed with an eagerness to work hard and to be of service.
• Do not let self-doubt dictate how you go about your business.

Beginnings of a music career

• Peter used music as an escape from gangs, crime, and fighting.
• From classical music, Peter moved into the nightclub scene and worked his way into becoming a record producer
• Working in the music industry taught Peter how to treat people respectfully. It translated very well into his real estate career.
• Fear is a cunning, baffling and crippling foe. Do not let it keep you from going at your goals.

From sex, drugs and rock & roll to sparkling water and open houses

• Living a life of excess weighs heavy on you. Realising where you are and where you want to be in the future is crucial to your ability to change your life’s direction.
• Leave your ego out the door. Grind it out and learn your new craft.
• Keep your eyes on your goals. For Peter, it was starting his own firm and pulling the levers behind the curtains.

Punk rock real estate

• Do not hesitate to break away from traditional real estate marketing.
• Work with the people you want to work with; do not attempt to fit in.
• Sell trust. Build a good relationship with people drawn to your style.
• Own your space in the market and dig deep. Do not get bothered by everything going around your space.

Capture your target audience with social media

• Customise your content to suit the communities you intend to reach. Use digital platforms to get yourself in front of your target clients.
• Build relationships and keep them alive on and off social media.
• You can tailor your online presence to show the various facets of your personality.
• Prospect your database rather than rely on online leads.

The 666 rule

• The 666 Rule refers to 6 emails, 6 text messages, and 6 DMs a day.
• Categorise your leads based on how well you know them. Peter recommends 18 touches a day per category.
• Do not be affected by the results. Divorce yourself from expectations and keep doing the job.

The boomerang effect

• The more you put into your marketing, the more it will return multiples.
• Remain in action and work as hard as you can.
• Craft your individuality through marketing and increase your digital footprint.
