Real Estate Uncensored - Real Estate Sales & Marketing Training Podcast

For many people, being young can be a disadvantage in the real estate business. How do you make yourself stand out and provide value to show your expertise? How can you employ social media tactics to get more clients? How do you go about hiring an assistant who won’t eventually become a rival? On this episode, we are joined by young agent Jamie Tian, who shares the strategies behind her successful career.

Takeaways + Tactics

Keeping in touch with old clients is the best way to get more listings and leads.

Link up with adjacent business owners who also work with the type of people you’re targeting.

You have to stick with your marketing strategy for a long time for it to stick.

At the start of the show, Jamie shared how she got started, and where most of her business comes from. She also shared on the importance of taking a marketing strategy long term and how she uses social media to get clients. We also talked about finding the right assistant, signing buyer-agent agreements and what Jamie would do differently if she had to do it all over again.

Jamie also talked about;

• Why geographic farming isn’t going to go away
• Communicating with international clients
• How young agents can prove themselves

You don’t have to be an old dog to win clients and become successful. Being younger just means you have to prove yourself more and show your expertise. Be reliable and overwhelm them with value and knowledge. Remember you’re not going to connect with every single person, so don’t take rejection personally. Just work on clicking with the right people, being valuable and everything else will fall into place.

When it comes to social media, a lot of us do too much all at once. What are the biggest mistakes people are making with their posting and content? How do you gauge if a seller is really serious? What is a huge misconception people have about marketing? On this episode, we answer questions and discuss the common social media mistakes people are making.

Takeaways + Tactics

Don’t post the same content across all social media platforms.

Share more than your own content on social media.

Make sure you’re not just using landscape photos and videos.

--------------------

At the start of the show, we answered a question on leaving a brokerage gracefully, and we started talking about the 10 social media mistakes people make and how to avoid them. We also talked about getting an authority stance over your competitors and how to use your marketing money to get business. Towards the end of the show, we shared on why you shouldn’t just share your own content.

We also talked about;

• iPad listing presentations
• Creative handwritten notes for FSBOs and expireds
• Why you shouldn’t over-post on Facebook

Before you rush to be valuable across multiple social media channels, start out by being super valuable to one person in one place or to one group of people consistently. Once you’ve mastered that, you can do more for other people. When it comes to marketing, go after people you already have a connection with, who have an urgent need for what you need before you go after complete strangers.

Waiting for the recognition of other people is a downward spiral. What are the hard questions you have to ask yourself to find what fulfills you? Why is it so important to celebrate what you’re good at and what you’ve accomplished? Why is clarity so important? On this episode, we are joined by executive coach Ahalya Kethees who gives us so much value.

Takeaways + Tactics

The more clear you get about your goals, the more confident you become, and it becomes a virtuous cycle.

Take time to acknowledge yourself for your wins AND drill down to acknowledge the character traits it took to produce the win.

Most people don't get what they want because they don't have clarity on what they want.

-------------------

At the start of the show, we talked about success rituals and the power of using a five-minute journal at the end of your day. Gene gave us his tech tip of the week, which is using later.com for your social media posting. We also talked about the confidence-clarity loop, and towards the end of the show, we shared the questions we ask ourselves to get closer to our goals.

We also spoke about;

• The power of doing self-acknowledgement
• How to be strategic and intentional about your inner circle
• Starting with the end in mind

To get the results you want out of life, you have to have a burning desire to accomplish your goals. Ask yourself if you’re chasing artificial goals that someone else told you to have, or if you’re doing what matters to you. Be honest about where you are now and work on where you want to go. Have the belief that it’s possible and act as if it’s going to happen and be strategic and intentional about your inner circle. When in doubt about what you want, start with what you know for sure.

If you think sending an email a month is enough to effectively market to your database, think again. What do you need to do in order to be in front of the right people consistently? Why is Facebook Messenger the new email? How can you find the right people to feed into your database? On this episode, agent and marketing expert Nick Sakkis goes deep on building a wall around your database with good marketing.

Takeaways + Tactics

Build a wall around your database by running Facebook ads to them. This creates the appearance that you're "everywhere" for as little as $5/day.

People are continually chasing after the cold leads, but the real money is in the people who already know, like and trust you.

Build your Facebook Messenger list as large as possible, open rates for FB messages are 70-80% right now. Speak to people in the channel they want to be in.

At the start of the show, we talked about how Nick got started and why we’re a demand generation. Next we talked about how powerful $5 a day on Facebook advertising can be so effective. We also spoke about the power of building a wall around your crowd and how to get in front of the right people in the first place.

Nick also spoke about;

• The truth about email open rates
• How to get in front of the right people
• How to get people to opt into your Facebook Messenger

If marketing was basketball, Facebook would be your point guard. Target a high number of people with exactly what they want and you’ll succeed. You’ll gain the advantage of having people come to you in their time of need, instead of you constantly having to go out and prospect all the time. Learn to build a relationship with the right people and then build a wall around the people who know, like and trust you. If you can’t afford to spend $5/day to target the people that know, like and trust you that will be around for as long as you’re around, just get another job.
