We're joined today by Bay area lender Tony Mendes to talk about low inventory and how to make a strong offer by using a lender and agent working closely together.

Sep 11, 2015

In this special live interview episode, we’re joined by top agent and team leader Jamie Cox, founder of the Jamie Cox Group of Las Vegas, NV. After a background in real estate investing in Florida, Jamie entered the Las Vegas market around 2008 by transitioning from investor to agent specializing in short sales. From there Jamie became a successful solo agent and experimented with building a team. 

 

Jamie walks us through his experience building and exiting his real estate, shares his biggest mistakes along the way, such as hiring a buyers agent with no training or accountability systems, and his current role providing vision, systems and support. He also shares some drop dead simple scripts for circle prospecting, explains why this is the heart of his team’s lead generation strategy, and takes us through their simple, effective, personalized follow-up process for leads.

 

Here are your three key takeaways:

 

Don’t bring on a buyers agent until you can provide training, support systems and accountability

Circle prospecting is an extremely effective and predictable lead generation strategy - They know for every 750 dials and 100 contacts made they will take 1-2 listings

Track leading indicators, such as dials and contacts, rather than lagging indicators like listings taken or closings, so that you can make adjustments well in advance of problems

In this special audio episode we’re joined by veteran real estate trainer and speaker Scot Kenkel.

 

Scot has a very interesting background; he started by immediately disrupting the industry’s business model and building a team modeled after the home improvement company model.

 

Scot shares his approach to building relationships with prospects and providing value, which allowed him to use calling assistants to set appointments for his agents and dominate listings in his area in a very short period of time. Scot went on to train other teams and brokerages these same concepts, and now shares his message through his podcast How to Sell More Houses and his Painless Prospecting workshop.

 

Here are your 3 key takeaways from this episode:

 

  1. Why leads are like meth to average real estate agents

  2. How you should focus on bringing value in your prospecting instead of focusing on outcomes like appointments or listings

  3. Why you shouldn’t count on your broker for much of anything

Here are the show notes with timestamps so you can jump to the sections that interest you most:

 

[1:30] Scot’s background as an investor and then as team leader and his successful experience bringing the home improvement business model into real estate

[6:15] How Scot’s approach enabled him to take more listings than his entire office combined, and how he dealt with the blowback from agents in his office

[9:30] How most brokers treat their agents with a hands-off approach, and in the process, putting clients at risk by allowing their agents to be untrained, unsupervised and unsupported

[13:15] Scot’s ideal real estate training system- an apprenticeship model - and why the current system is broken compared to other systems that use independent contractors as salespeople

[22:30] Why showmanship and consultative sales is the highest value skillset in the industry, and why that role must be separated from the lead generation/appointment setting role

[27:50] The easiest way brokers can immediately raise the productivity of their office, and why leads are like meth - the ultimate leverage over agents in your office

[34:00] Why the recruiting process for a new agent should include a 60-90 day apprenticeship relationship in which they start to build skills, including appointment setting and door-hanging, all of which can be done without a license

[39:30] The 2nd stage of the apprenticeship process - going with a listing agent to observe 10 listing appointments, so they learn through observation and review, then leading the next 10 appointments with review by the mentor agent

[43:00] Why agents should have to prove their ability to build rapport and change behavior - and why you should conduct an initial phone interview with a prospective agent to test those abilities

[4:40] Why start with Facebook/Google ads to generate seller leads

Join us for our first live broadcast where we were joined by Jane Wenden, who has been coaching with Greg for a few months.

She shares her experience getting into the business and realizing she needed to generate leads and having no idea where to start or how to overcome her fear of the phone or door-knocking.

In a few months she found that door-knocking suited her personality, learned to go after the right type of clients and is now finding it easier to pick up new clients and build her career.
