Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode How to not chase business, but have business chase you The importance of your personal brand What the most impactful form of communication is (hint: it’s video) Resources Real Estate Marketing Dude The Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!) REMD on YouTube REMD on Instagram Transcript: So how do you attract new business, you constantly don’t have to chase it. Hi, I’m Mike way ambassador, real estate marketing. This podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It’s your job to remind them. Let’s get started what is up ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the training where we’re going to do is go ahead and get started. Right here and what this session is going to be on is how to build your personal brand with video. And attract versus Chase leads attract clients versus Chase leads. And a lot of the stuff I’m going to explain today is going to sort of spell out call it the who, what, when, where and why of video, video is not lead generation, its branding its attraction. And to do it more long term or to do it over time, there’s a couple things that we’re going to have to do ahead of time. So without further ado, we’re going to go ahead and get right on into this. We have not met before, if you’ve not been on my podcast or anything, my name is Mike way, Boss, I’m the real estate marketing dude. sold real estate since 2002 in Chicago. And today I live in San Diego. And what we do is we script edit distributed videos for real estate agents, lenders, investors all over the country, from East Coast to the West Coast, north and south. And I don’t know about you, but I hate lead generation. I hate prospecting I hated chasing leads as an agent. And last four years, what I’ve been doing is sharing exactly what we always did our whole career, through content creation, and through personal branding. So what we want to do today is walk you through sort of how it all works. And where we’re going to start with is that agents with a strong personal brand, they’re not going to chase business business chases them, this entire business is built around your personal brand, nobody’s hiring your broker anymore. Last I checked. And the reason why this is so important is because only 4% of consumers pick their agent because of the brokerage or the brand they’re affiliated with. Quite frankly, I don’t think people really care who you work for who you work with, or where you hang your flag. The end of the day, 96% of consumers chose the agent, not the broker they’re affiliated with. But ultimately, people are people they do business with agents they typically know like, trust and remember, but they don’t remember what it is that you do for a living. And they know that they remember how it is that you do it. And that’s true for any industry. Right people don’t follow your what they follow your why is another way, I guess you could go out and say it. Now, when you’re able to craft video with personal branding, and you do it visually, that’s when it works. That’s when you start building a brand. So we’re going to start off with a little exercise here. And what I want to showcase here is that video is going to be the most impactful form of communication, it’s going to be the one that generates the most amount of attention for what I’m about to show you right now. So I want you to sort of look at what you see on the screen here. And boy, B O Y, and I want you to sit for two seconds, jot down what imagery is sort of coming through your mind right now, as you’re thinking about this, like what images go through my close your eyes, you see blue boy, what images do you see? Okay? Go ahead and jot those down. Now, what do you think? Is this a little bit more impactful than that? Which one leaves a longer lasting impression you see in this one? What kind of boy but in this one and this image in the picture, it’s a lot more impactful boy with bubbles on his head, he’s got a couple T dS looks like he’s taking a bath. There’s a blue bottle behind them. He’s in the bathroom, someone’s attending to him. This picture is just a lot more impactful than the first. Now I’m gonna go ahead and play a video. This is my son, Alex Blinken. He’s talking. He’s asking a question. Right? So the question here is out of those three images, which one is the most impactful or the more memorable? And the answer is obviously going to be video. So the whole thing here is that the impact and understanding how to build a personal brand with video starts by understanding the impact of it, and the impact of using imagery and story on

What’s up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude. Podcast. What we’re going to be doing here today, folks is talking a little bit about the future quite often on the show, we talk quite a bit about how to build in the current in the now and how to make now business better yet attractive, not necessarily chase it. But let’s just pretend that you’ve been attracting business for five to 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, and you’re going to get towards that retirement stage. How the fuck do you sell your practice? Or what do you do next, you just stop selling. I know, when I moved out to San Diego, I just literally stopped cold turkey probably wasn’t the smartest move. But I was burnt out, I didn’t really give a shit. I was just ready to go. And I was done with real estate and that sense in Chicago, however, I probably could have set up like a really easy to go referral network, I still get referrals back there. And I don’t even try and wish I should have done it better. So what we’re going to be doing today is we’re joined by a couple out of actually Illinois, Peoria, Illinois. And this is what they do. They focus on the transition, post real estate career. And eventually under one day, you’re going to retire or you’re going to stop selling and you’re gonna do what I did burn out and something’s gonna happen. There’s a reason why most people don’t last this long in this business, no matter who you are. It gets tiring, it gets old and you want to do some different and other opportunities will come up. What are you doing to get to that point? That’s what we’re gonna chat about today? How do you monetize everything you worked for so hard? Prior to those 10 years, like if you built a business of 20 years selling real estate, you’re just gonna walk away and let that go away? It’d be like opening up a bakery and just saying, Hey, I’m gonna close the doors tomorrow, not sell the business and not do anything else to it. So what do we do with that? So that’s what we’re gonna be chatting about today. So without further ado, let’s go ahead and introduce our guest, Jessica and Justin ball. How’re you guys doing? Good. Good. Glad to be on the show. Man. I’m listener, and it’s awesome to be a part of it. Thank you.

I have been an agent just under five years with REMAX truth unlimited. And I added Peoria and I lead a small team. And really where this came from watch it. I’ll let Justin introducing stuff real quick. And then we’ll jump into kind of where this brainchild came from on what we’re doing. Sure. So Mike, I am a long time unpaid, unlicensed assistant and one of the best in the business. And then 2021, I got my real estate license. I’ve always been an investor. And I’m looking forward to doing commercial real estate investing to support the Jessica ball team. Awesome. So what do you guys stumble across here? Yeah. So when I first started, I was I was coming out of a 10 year law enforcement career. And so I had no idea how to do marketing or anything like that. And I was looking for a way to grow my own sphere grow my business. And we realized that there were agents that were retiring from our brokerage that pretty much just said, Hey, I’m retired, anyone want to buy a few signs? Great. And then they’re out the door. And it’s like, well, what just happened? All their clients that someone taking care of those, what happened? And we started asking questions, and a lot of times people just kind of shut the doors and walked away with no plan

You know as well as I do that leads are worth NOTHING if you can’t convert! They cost money and you get nothing back. But Tristan Ahumada is an expert at connecting and conversion and in this episode, and he’s here to take me through the steps he uses to not just convert, but convert RELIABLY from Facebook and Google pay-per-click ads. Most of us have a split of business where up to 80% of our business comes from repeats and referrals, but for Tristan, it’s more like around 35%! His remaining business comes from converted online leads, and he does it WITHOUT buying leads from Realtor.com or Zillow. I asked him to lay out exactly how he does it, and the first thing we discussed was connecting with people and understanding personalities. If you haven’t taken a DISC course, do it now! Understanding your leads’ personalities is key to conversion, and Tristan and I look at a couple examples of how (and why) it works. Once we’ve got that down, it’s time to talk specifics, and Tristan walks me through exactly what he does when a lead comes in. He covers everything, from how long it takes to call that lead, to how long it takes to follow up, and what to say. We even talk about how to deal when you’re having an off day! Next, Tristan explains why he went cold turkey and stopped using both Realtor.com and Zillow for leads. When he decided to leave both sites, 66% of his business came from the two of them, and he had to make it up from somewhere! He talks me through where he made that business up. We finish off by talking about how to build trust with a client, once you’ve made that initial connection. We talk about the best way to communicate (Text? Facebook Messenger? E-mail?) and how you know when someone really trusts you. Finally, we talk about stories, and why telling a good, authentic story, will get a lead to pay more attention to you and engage more quickly. Today’s Topics: Understanding personalities using the DISC method Why it’s important for agents to tailor communications to their leads’ personalities How to incorporate different personality types into automated response systems What to do when a lead comes in and you’re off your game The worst way an agent can respond to a new lead Tristan’s tried and true method for following up on leads Why it’s key to capture buyers when they’re emotional The best methods of connecting with leads Why we pay more attention when someone tells us a story Connect with Tristan Ahumada and the Lab Coat Agents If you’re not already a member, have a look and join the Lab Coat Agents group on Facebook, the largest real estate agent group in the US.

Suneet is a team leader with Home Smart Realty in Sacramento, California, and he’s a Club Wealth coach and Lab Coat Agent as well. Suneet and I start off by discussing what it means to run a team, and what helps retain agents. He tells me how running a team is like running a business, and the culture-building tactics he uses to make his agents feel supported and valued. He also explains why you should never brand your team with your own name! Then we talk details: where does Suneet get his leads from, and how much does he supply to his agents? How dependent are they on him for their leads? And how does he provide them with incentive to go out and find their own leads? Finally, Suneet tells me how he chooses his agents, and gives me an introduction to how he onboards them. We discuss probation periods, new agent expectations, and his number one trait that will determine whether he keeps an agent on the team, or lets them go. Today’s Topics: How is running a team of agents like running a business? Why your agents should work WITH you, not FOR you Why top salespeople tend to stay with the same company for long periods of time Why you should never brand your team with your name Where the best leads come from How to decide who to bring on to your team The number one trait that determines whether a team member will succeed The question you should ask yourself BEFORE you start up a team Connect with Suneet Agarwal Reach out to Suneet Agarwal on his cell phone: (916) 216-7375.

Guess what we’re talking about today, marketing and marketing and marketing. But we’re gonna be talking about a specific kind of marketing and why you need to be creating it. Everything you do today is content. The posts you make when you’re taking up the ugly carpeting in the basement is content. The picture of you and your clients at the closing is content, that big ass kitchen with beautiful views, that is content, anything you publish is content, and you have to be creating it going forward. There is no other way, lead generation is dead and you’re gonna burn out door knocking and cold calling. To further engrave this into your minds, we’re bringing on Gary Pickren as our guest today. Gary has deep ties to the local real estate community. Since 1995 Gary has performed real estate closings, taught real estate agents, and advocated for all South Carolinians in changing South Carolina real estate law. Toward that end, Gary started a weekly video blog that has over 4,000 subscribers. He even started a real estate podcast in 2020 to better educate the real estate agents on issues in the real estate closing process.

But we’re gonna be talking about a specific kind of marketing call it media, and why you need to be creating it. So probably about a week or two ago, I was on somebody’s podcast, and now he’s on ours. And this guy’s an attorney. He’s a he’s a he’s an a boring attorney. Okay, talking about the most stuffy profession in the damn world. Like anyone in the attorney space. It’s like you get attorneys, you get to doctors, but anyone that wears a suit pretty much all the time, or you would think wears a suit all the time. That’s a very stuffy, stuffy business. Well, Mr. Gary here has taken the concept of creating media around his brand. He’s a real estate attorney in one specific state, but he understands marketing, he understands content creation, he understands communication, and staying in front of people remaining on top of mine, the only way you remain on top of mind is if you create content, otherwise, how the hell do you do it? Everything you do today, guys is content. The posts you make when you’re taking up the ugly carpeting in the fucking basement is content. The picture of you and your clients at the closing is content, that big ass kitchen with big ass views, that is content, anything you publish is content, and you have to be creating it going forward. There is no other way lead generation is fucking dead and you’re gonna burn out door knocking dead cold calling dead. I’m telling you guys, it’s common. We’ve been talking about this attraction thing, but I wanted to bring on the most stuffy business and show you how it even works in his damn business. And he’s either due to a video he’s doing in the form of a podcast, this podcast you’re listening to is a form of media. I publish it every Saturday. And as a result, some of you guys, are you gonna call me next week and schedule a demo and spy my shit. And it’s because I’m constantly adding value and want you’re gonna convert sooner or later. I don’t give a fuck what do you think but I’m gonna convert you. Anyhow, let’s introduce our guest, Gary picker the show Gary wants to come in and tell everyone a little bit hello to you. Oh, what’s up, man? First of all, I don’t like attorney so I try to do everything I can to not be like an attorney. And that’s why I like you. I don’t like attorneys either. I hate attorneys. To help wrong with it. You marry an attorney. You made a bad decision already. But yeah, I try not to be anything like an attorney. But Mike, man, I really love being on your show.

And it started really in South Carolina just kind of a podcast talking about things that real estate agents need to know in terms of agency appraisal gaps, multiple offers, a lot of it applied to real estate agents all around the country. But recently, in particular, in the last five or six months, I’ve been very fortunate to meet people like yourself and some other great coaches and other agents that have said, hey, I want to come on your show and talk about some of the crap we do. And it’s kind of taken two sides. Now we do a little bit of the legal stuff and things that agents deal with. But we also hit a lot of the marketing things,

Getting the best referral business is all about putting yourself out there and staying in front of people’s minds! Successful businesspeople are using video to transform how they communicate with their target audiences and market their brands. Jeff Pfitzer is a mortgage broker in the St. Louis area, and is using a combination of video marketing and great service that’s built his agent referrals up to 80-90% of his business. In this episode of The Real Estate Marketing Dude, I’ve brought Jeff on to tell me his branding secrets and how his videos are disrupting the market. Are you an employee or are you running a business? That’s a key part of what we’re talking about. Are you dependent on a big website like Zillow for your leads, or are you putting yourself out there and bringing in your own business? Jeff and I discuss why depending on Zillow is a bad idea, and what it looks like when you break free and start thinking of yourself as a business rather than an employee. Jeff is using video to differentiate himself from his competition, so we talk about what it is about video that catches people’s attention. We talk about why, if you’re in the real estate business, your videos should almost NEVER be about real estate, as counterintuitive as that sounds. Finally, Jeff talks me through the development process behind his first ever video, which had over 4,000 views in its first week. Today’s Topics: Why differentiating yourself in the mortgage industry is key Building a brand is a fundamental skill How to stand out in your market The three most important parts of video communication: body language, tone, and content Why you should never talk about real estate your videos How to work hard to position yourself, even in a slow market Why customers don’t remember you until they’ve seen you seven times or more An example of the type of high-engagement video that will make an impact Connect with Jeff Pfitzer: The best way to reach Jeff directly is by text at (314) 220-4945.

  If you’re not focusing all your energy on attracting leads online, you’re missing out. Today’s real estate industry is so competitive that your most profitable business comes from referrals, rather than direct. One of the most reliable ways to secure referral business is to do the lead generation work for realtors – so they can concentrate on closing, and send the business back to you. I’ve brought in The Hardcore Closer himself, Ryan Stewman, to talk to me about strategies he uses for attracting leads online, and tell me his tricks for bringing the best quality leads to his agents. Ryan Stewman IS the Hardcore Closer. We’ve talked before about how important your personal brand is, and this guy’s got it down. We start off by talking about authenticity and building a strong following by letting your personality shine through on social media. Ryan started his career in the mortgage business in 2003, but in March 2010 lost his license due to regulation changes that disqualified him due to events from his past. In 2009 and the first part of 2010, he’d already closed 260 deals. Rather than fighting his license, he turned to selling social media management to real estate professionals, and really focusing on sharing his expertise. In this show, we’re talking about why lead gen is so important, and especially why it’s vital to help realtors with leads. We’re looking at what’s working for him in terms of bringing in business, and some concrete steps of how to handle new leads to get them to convert. We’re also discussing why you shouldn’t be tempted to play it cheap on social media, and how much a good campaign might cost you per lead. Finally, Ryan also gives me some tips about how to handle agents to get the best return (in terms of referrals) from the leads that you supply. Today’s Topics Why authenticity is key in building your brand on social media How to decide who your social media audience is Why it’s key to work with realtors and feed them leads, and what you’ll get in return Why big companies are now hyper-focused on lead gen for realtors, for FREE Social media and how it’s making it easier to get some exposure back from Zillow.com Ryan’s verdict on whether agents should have IDX on their websites Concrete steps to setting up a funnel for leads Why you NEED to make sure you have a privacy policy and terms set up on your website What’s a reasonable budget for a Facebook ad campaign with decent return?

If you haven’t been following this show, we’ve been on this little kick lately. And what we’ve been chatting about mainly has been running your business as a business not being a salesperson, just chasing your next check. You have to realize that you’re running an entrepreneurial business and you are the business you are the brand. And that means you’re running a damn business. If not, you’re just a salesperson. We’re gonna talk about how entrepreneurs really run their business as they spend more time setting up systems and things in their business, they could work on their business and not in it. So if you feel like you’re just being ran around by clients, you don’t have enough time in the day, today’s guest is for you. He’s in charge of the book, work the system. This dude knows what he’s doing. Josh Fonger is the CEO of WTS Enterprises, based on the best-selling business book written by Sam Carpenter (you can find a free version of it right here. Work the System’s mission is to help entrepreneurs get out of the day-to-day of their business by managing their systems. (Naturally, financial growth and freedom follows.)

And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It’s your job to remind them. Let’s get started. What’s up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast. It is 2022. If you haven’t been following this show, we’ve been on this little kick lately. And what we’ve been chatting about mainly has been running your business as a business not being a salesperson, just chasing your next check. Unfortunately, in the real estate space, whether you’re a lender and investor or real estate broker, that’s just what happens. You have to realize that you’re running an entrepreneurial business and you are the business you are the brand. And that means you’re running a damn business. If not, you’re just a salesperson. So what we’re gonna do today is because it’s the beginning of the year, because it’s 2022, we’re gonna talk about how entrepreneurs really run their business as they spend more time setting up systems and things in their business, they could work on their business and not in it. So if you feel like you’re just being ran around by clients, you don’t have enough time in the day, this episode’s gonna be for you. He has, he’s in charge of the book, work the system. This dude knows what he’s doing. And without further ado, we’re gonna let him tell you all about it. Josh fungerer. Ladies and gentlemen, why don’t you go ahead and introduce yourself, Josh, and tell everybody a little bit about yourself, we’ll get right into this interview. Sounds great. Glad to be here. Thanks, Mike. Yep, Josh bunker. And those, I don’t know if you guys have this on video or not. But I’m only have a book called work the system, what I do is take the methodology in that book, and help his owners entrepreneurs fix their life expenses by getting control over their systems. And ultimately, that allows them to make more and work less, which is what most entrepreneurs would like to do. And we kind of free up their their mind space as well. In the real estate industry, we all get into this business, because we think we’re gonna work less and control our hours, but fucking nothing is further from the truth. You get in the business. And if you get busy, you have no life. And it’s a major problem within it. So I think everyone here is going to really appreciate what you have to say, sorry, I’m going to cut you off. No, that’s great. Yeah, I’ve worked a lot of folks in in real estate, whether it’s investors or realtors, or developers and home flippers, or you name it, anyone who’s doing any kind of work ultimately has things that they do every day, every week, every month. And our whole goal is to help them see the separate pieces that make up their lives. And then realize those can be made from organic, which means you’re just doing it by the seed your pants, just reacting to mechanical, you can mechanize those things. And it starts with a shift of the way you see your work. But then once you see your work differently, you can start to take those separate pieces and get some help along the way. I’m sure a lot of people who listen to this have some assistance or some part timers people that they that they use, and how to really expand that help and duplicate what you do. And ultimately, it’s allow you to buy more houses, sell more houses do do more of what you already doing, you just gonna be able to expand that. But so many of us are control freaks, I’m guilty of this I guy, I’m the guilty, I’m your ideal client. The, you know, no one could do it as good as I can. Or, and honestly, I’ve been you guys, I’ve been going through this shit
