We’re living in strange times, and a lot of agents are beginning to worry about their livelihoods, but this is the moment we should really be doubling down on lead generation. Why do we need to make the most of our time in isolation? Is it possible to generate leads while the world is battling a pandemic? In this episode, Founder and CEO of Club Wealth®️ Coaching and Consulting, Michael Hellickson, shares why we should be doubling down on lead generation and how to do it.
Takeaways + Tactics
Where there’s chaos, there’s an opportunity. While we’re in isolation, we have a duty to press forward and look for ways to be part of solutions for the future.
While we’ve been discouraged from going to public places, a lot of people are taking walks with their families around their neighborhoods. Take advantage of the foot traffic by putting up sign advertisements.
Keep holding listing appointments with clients: just do it virtually. People respond to videos almost as well as they do to face-to-face interactions.

To see great results in real estate both now and in the future, team owners need to start embracing digital technologies. Will there ever be an ‘Uber’ of real estate? What does the future of our industry look like and how can we start offering it to our clients today? On this episode, owner of kwELITE, Jeff Cohn, shares what we can expect to see in real estate in the future.
Takeaways + Tactics
Stop looking to create the Uber of real estate. Buying and selling properties is an involved process, so instead of looking to simplify it, Uber-style, we should be finding ways to offer our clients amazing, innovative experiences.
Offer higher quality images. The client of the future wants to see every part of a property virtually, so postcard-sized images aren’t going to cut it anymore.
Create a virtual reality experience. By providing our clients with an opportunity to tour a home no matter where they are, we can offer convenience and value like no other.
Business reviews have become an important part of branding today. Who should we be asking to review us and what formats should we be using? On this episode, President and CEO of Amplified Marketing Group and podcast host, Nick Sakkis, shares how to use reviews to advertise our businesses more effectively.
Takeaways + Tactics
People trust the opinions of other people more than they trust advertisements, so reviews are a great way to attract more clients. Have past and present clients leave reviews of their experiences with us for a cheaper alternative to advertising.
Reviews don’t have to come from people we’ve closed deals with. We can get other business owners to review our conduct and offer to do the same for them in return.
Create video reviews. Most people trust videos more than written text, so ask clients to record a short testimonial that can be shared on a range of platforms.
For many new agents, the thought of having conversations with potential clients is terrifying, but if we learn how to interact with others effectively, we can banish that fear. How can we have more positive conversations? Is it possible to convert leads sooner without coming across as forceful? On this episode, CEO and Founder of Smart Inside Sales, Dale Archdekin, shares how to have more effective conversations.
Takeaways + Tactics
Have positive conversations. If a client is interested in something we know they can’t have, don’t start by telling them that. Instead, ask questions to get a sense of what they want, and offer alternatives later.
When a client isn’t interested in buying or selling immediately, ask the right questions to find out why. Once we’ve heard their explanation, we can start assessing whether we can help them in the near future.
Don’t push potential leads - lead them. Guide people and show them the best way forward, but don’t force anything on them.
When it comes to the experiences we give our clients, we should all be striving to go above and beyond. Why is it so important to exceed our clients expectations? Do our gestures need to be extravagant? How can we let our clients know about all the small additional things we do without bragging? On this episode, we discuss how to create amazing experiences in a simple way.
Takeaways + Tactics
Most people can’t put a finger on the specific elements that make an experience more memorable, but there is a big difference when every component is well done. People feel perfection, so strive to give clients that.
Little details make all the difference. Stop thinking it’s difficult to offer exceptional service and focus on all the minor components that add up.
Often, agents are overlooked for all the extra services they offer because clients simply don’t know about them. Use videos to show what’s happening behind the scenes.
