To build influence within our local communities, we have to stop trying to be everything to everyone and start niching down. The key to being hyper relevant lies in being hyper local.

 

How can we carve out niches for ourselves, and how do we stay top of mind for the people in our communities? 

 

It’s time to start narrowing down our focus and providing value to the people in our marketplaces.

 

On this episode, Realtor at Windermere Professional Partners, Paige Schulte shares how to go hyper-local and find a niche. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

  • To create a niche, we can’t worry about helping everyone with everything. We have to be intentional and decide what we want to be known for. 
  • Showing up to every community event isn’t always possible, but showing up on social media is. Show up consistently on platforms like Instagram Stories.
  • Know who you’re talking to: Simply having a particular person in mind as our target audience can help with creating great, relevant content.

The luxury market is largely insulated from economic shifts, so there has never been a better time to break into the space. But many agents often feel like the luxury market is high stakes, especially when they are faced with objections. 

 

The only way to handle objections effectively is to prepare for them in advance. If we can go into appointments with sellers knowing how to respond, we can position ourselves as the obvious choice for the listing.

 

What are some of the common objections raised by sellers, and how can we respond to them?

 

On this episode, Founder and CEO of the Luxury Listing Specialist Designation (LUXE) and host of the Luxury Listing Specialist Podcast, Michael LaFido, returns to the show to discuss 3 common objections and how to handle them. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

How to handle the experience objection

Agents new to the luxury market are often worried about being asked if they’ve sold a high-end property before. If not, the best response is to leverage agents in our networks who have sold luxury homes.

 

How to handle an objection about local knowledge

Often, sellers will ask agents if they’ve sold properties in their area before. If we aren’t local, it’s a good idea to have testimonials and past videos on hand to show the value we bring.

 

What we can do about price objections

When a seller has been given an unrealistic selling price by another agent, they’re likely to object to a lower suggestion from us. Combat this by asking the seller to have their home appraised.

With so many people using social media at the moment, there has never been a better time to put ourselves out there and make a name for ourselves. Use this time to get in front of as many people as possible.

 

How can we get started with documenting our lives and do people even want to see what we’re doing throughout the day? Is there a ‘right’ approach to social media if we want to see results?

 

The reality is, people are looking for an escape now and by merely sharing even our imperfect moments, we can connect with people in our markets and build lasting relationships.

 

On this episode, Founder and CEO of MindShare101 Inc., David Greenspan shares how to become top of mind with the people in our markets using social media. 



Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

  • Use Stories to get in front of people. A lot of us are nervous about posting videos of ourselves, so using a platform where we can share unpolished, authentic moments is a great way to get started.
  • Stop worrying about the ‘right’ time to post - just start posting. Once we’ve established a routine and a following, our audiences will tell us when they want us to share content. 
  • Tag people in content. The quickest way to start engagement and build a following is by tagging other people - they’ll see our posts and will reciprocate.

Using YouTube to generate leads is a great business strategy, but a lot of agents don’t know where to get started with creating content, let alone take advantage of all the platform has to offer. 

 

If we want our videos to bring us business, we have to ensure they’re being seen, and the best way to do that is by having our videos ranked. 

 

How can we get our Youtube videos ranked? Are there any simple hacks we can use to make a name for ourselves on the platform? YouTube certainly puts a lot of hurdles out for content creators, so we have to ensure we’re using it the right way if we want to optimize our content.

On this episode, CEO of the YouTube Agents, Jackson Wilkey, returns to share the three top Youtube hacks to rank our videos. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • How to find out what people are searching online and using those searches to ensure we create the content people are looking for.
  • Why consistency means everything. If we want guaranteed success, we have to post our content at least once a week, every week, at the same time.
  • How to use tools like TubeBuddy to ensure we have the best title for our videos.

In a world filled with so many notifications from multiple devices, it’s extremely easy to get distracted, but if we double down on our focus, we can maximize our productivity. How can we take control of our days and minimize distractions? Why is it so important to shift our mindset away from negativity and self-limiting beliefs? On this episode, COO and Head Coach at RealEstateCoach.com, Byron Van Arsdale, shares how to overcome distractions and maximize our results. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

 

Come at goals from a mindset of control. When we go into tasks believing we have full control of the situation and our focus levels, our chances of success skyrocket.

 

When aiming to take up something new, whether that be exercise or a new skill, start by doing one. By simply committing to one action, we get one step closer to reaching our goals, and it’s easier to take the second or third step. 

 

We all have to eliminate the words ‘can’t’ or ‘won’t’ from our vocabularies and replace them with ‘I’m in the process of...’. Stop being the victim, start being the victor!

Staying in front of and in touch with our databases is vital to our survival in this business. We need to make sure our outbound communication is effective. It is important that we create engaging content which drives value to the audience. 

 

How can we ensure our database stays engaged with our content? 

 

Is there a way to keep offering people value even when they aren’t in the market to buy or sell? 

 

On this episode, Founder of Real Estate Growth Hackers and the Local Celebrity Show system, Zach Hammer, returns to share how to communicate more effectively. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

 

When we have a ton of value to offer, it’s easy to want to send it all out, but to get a great response rate, we need to dangle the carrot. 

 

When we have a low response rate, some email service providers will proactively hide our emails, even from those who do engage with us. 

 

Offer content relevant to everyone in the database, including those not looking for a transaction now.

As business owners and real estate professionals, we have the skills to help others during this trying time, but we have to be willing to step up and be leaders. How can we help people during this crisis? What can we do to avoid overextending ourselves? On this episode, CEO and Owner of Latham Realty Unlimited, Jeff Latham, shares how to be leaders in our present reality. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

There are still people looking to buy or sell properties now. As real estate professionals, we have to take the lead and help them navigate the transaction process during the chaos. 

 

Now is not the time to overextend ourselves. Clear the calendar of all non-essentials so we can focus on the most important parts of our businesses. 

 

It’s vital we all recognize that our capacities are diminished at the moment. We all have the thought of the current crisis in the back of our minds right now, so instead of trying to continue with business-as-usual, acknowledge that we’re going through a tough time.

Facebook Live is a great tool for anyone in the real estate space to use, so to maximize our results, we have to make sure we’re using it the right way. What can we do to connect with our audiences better? How can we get more comfortable with Facebook Live when we’re new to the space? On this episode, co-founder of Real Estate Growth Hackers, Zach Hammer, returns to discuss the 3 ways to get better at Facebook Live today. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Create the impression of looking into the audience’s eyes by speaking directly to the camera. This makes us more personable and helps the audience feel more connected to us. 

 

It’s not always easy to smile while talking, so practise smiling with the eyes. This makes us look much more welcoming to the audience. 

 

Practice makes perfect. Those of us new to Facebook Lives can rehearse by practicing with a small group of people we would be happy to get feedback from, or even by recording a live to be shared with ourselves only.

With so many people stuck at home at the moment, now is the perfect opportunity to double down on content creation. How do we continue to create content during this time if our strategy was highlighting local businesses? Are there any lessons we can take from this time and implement in the future? On this episode, Robert Ring, Mortgage Advisor at Cross Country Mortgage and co-host of Hops and Houses video series, shares how to keep creating content during COVID-19. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

It’s important we don’t bury our heads in the sand during the pandemic - if anything, now is the time to double down on our online presence.

 

Don’t stop reaching out to local businesses like restaurants. Even though people aren’t able to go out, a lot of restaurants are still doing takeout. Do a live video featuring the chef from a local restaurant to help boost the community and bring attention to places that are still open.

 

Learn from this experience. People tend to be more empathetic during times of crisis, but we shouldn’t be limited to that. Use this time to make a shift towards becoming more empathetic and helpful to the community.

To make more money with fewer deals, agents should be adding more high-end and luxury homes to their portfolios. Is now a good time to include properties at a higher price point in our portfolios and how can we represent them while so many people are unable to leave their homes? Should we be concerned about lowering our batting averages by including properties that are harder to sell? On this episode, Founder and Marketing Strategist at Marketing Luxury Group and host of the Luxury Listing Specialist podcast, Michael LaFido shares how to make more money with fewer deals. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

All agents should be diversifying their portfolios. Even now, in spite of uncertainties, it’s a good idea for agents to represent some high-end and luxury properties. 

 

People are spending a lot more time at home now, and the only way they can look at properties is online. Cater to the luxury and high-end market by uploading high-quality photographs and videos that highlight strong points of the properties. 

 

Stop worrying about maintaining a batting average. When dealing with properties at a higher price point, the commissions can help us cover leaner months just as much as selling more properties at a lower price point.

One of the biggest challenges real estate investors face is trying to find motivated sellers. Where should we be looking for them? Are there any specific groups of people we should be targeting? On this episode, real estate investor and coach, Jackie Jackson, shares how to find motivated sellers. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

There are tons of real estate investors who have got into the wrong deals and over-obligated themselves. It’s a great idea to look for struggling investors because on top of being able to buy the property, we can be a great source of relief to them.

 

People expecting a baby are also great potential sellers. As families expand, people start looking for bigger homes, but to buy a bigger property, they’ll first need to sell the one they’re in.

 

Don’t forget about homeowners who may need to relocate within a very short space of time. Military professionals, for example, relocate every few years, so they’re motivated by an urgency to sell quickly.

All agents should be using video to connect with potential clients, and creating personalized, informative content for YouTube is the best place to start. How can we provide educational videos that resonate with our audience? What kind of content should we be sharing, and where can we find the right information to share? On this episode, podcast host, YouTube personality and real estate broker at eXp Realty, Jackson Wilkey, shares the three videos every agent should be creating. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Use video to educate people on the cost of living in our city. Make this even more effective by sharing personal stories. For example, agents with kids can talk about the cost of daycare, or if we’re single, speak about the young professional scene.

 

Create a video listing the pros and cons of the cities we live in - and be honest. People want to know what they’re getting into when they move to a new city, so give a rounded view of what they should expect.

 

Use the Internet to find the top 5 neighborhoods in the city, and film a video exploring those spots. Do house tours, visit local businesses and speak about schools in the area.

In light of current events, the ground has shifted in the markets and no one quite knows what could happen when the dust settles. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is prepare. Can we be optimistic about the future? Should we be playing it safe or planning big moves for the near future? On this episode, CEO and Founder of 1 Life Fully Lived and Co-Founder of Gobundance, Tim Rhode, shares how to surf the big waves of market shifts. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Prepare for the worst case scenario, and aim to make the best of it. Now is the time to know our cash position and have an idea of what all our assets are, in case we need to sell them.

 

Now is not the time to try new things. We have to hone in on the things we’re comfortable with and know we’re great at.

 

Use this time to research and plan for the next steps we’re going to take when the time is right. Remember, these steps should be well thought-out; there is no need to rush them and risk making a mess.

As real estate professionals, talking about the industry on Facebook Live videos is second nature, but it does exclude people who aren’t currently looking to buy or sell a property. How can we create content that keeps people interested, even after a transaction has gone through? Can we offer content that interests buyers, sellers and everyone in between? On this episode, author and founder of Real Estate Growth Hackers, Zach Hammer shares the 3 Topics for Facebook Live Videos that never go out of style. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Create lifestyle videos. Once someone has bought a home, they need to know how to maintain the property and live in it. Create content that fills this need.

 

Speak about the community. Talk about local restaurants and activities. People new to the area (or considering buying there) will appreciate a guide, and locals will know we share common interests.

 

Talk about trends. Whether our audience is looking for a transaction or not, everyone enjoys knowing what’s popular with others.

The social media landscape has undergone a lot of changes in the first part of 2020, and a lot of agents are, understandably, starting to feel overwhelmed. Which social media platforms should we be using, and what type of content should we be sharing? What does the trend towards moving away from social media in favor of in-person interactions mean for us in 2020? On this episode, Senior Marketing Strategist at Ablaze Media, Tim Stafford, shares how to approach social media marketing in 2020. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Don’t try to use all the new social media platforms: find one that works and stick with it. It’s also important to remember that social media giants like Facebook and Twitter aren’t going anywhere, so don’t neglect them in favor of newer platforms. 

 

Client-created content has an 85% - 86% conversion rate, so ask clients to film video testimonials. With these videos, the most important thing is to maintain authenticity.

 

There is a massive trend towards getting off social media and socializing with people in-person, so as well-known members of the community, we should be creating opportunities for people to come together. While that may not be possible at the moment, consider hosting a post-COVID-19 barbecue at a local park.

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.

Mar 5, 2020

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.

Mar 3, 2020

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.

To become ‘MicroFamous’, we have to build exceptionally strong rapport with a relatively small group of people. How can we build effective connections, and what value can we offer business owners in our communities? Do we need to create viral content to capture attention? In honor of Matt Johnson’s book launch, Zach Hammer joins us to discuss how to become MicroFamous in the real estate space. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Reach out to local business owners, build relationships with them and find out what value they’re looking for. It’s not a great connection until we know who they are and what they need.

 

Once we know what the people in our network need, we can introduce them to each other behind the scenes. Strategic introductions like these help build rapport in the community.

 

Don’t aim to create viral content. Being MicroFamous is about being exceptionally well known to a relatively small, but strategic audience, so focus on offering them valuable content.

When we think of Disney, one of the first things that comes to mind is excellent customer service. How can we implement Disney principles to our businesses, and why should we be paying attention to how we make people feel? How can we continue offering a stellar service, even after a transaction is complete? On this episode, Ryan and Monica Shea from the Platinum Group, share how to create fantastic customer service based on Disney’s principles.

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

At any Disney park, the entire family is engaged by cast members. We can replicate that inclusion of the whole family in our deals, by paying attention to our clients’ children. Doing this goes a long way in creating a memorable experience. 

Anyone can complete a transaction with their clients, but if we want to truly stand out, we have to pay attention to the way we make people feel. This has an incredible impact and we’ll be more likely to have repeat clients because of it. 

Consistent engagement is vital for repeat clients. Show genuine concern and reach out to see if they need anything. We have to remind clients that they’re more than a source of income to us.

Feb 20, 2020

Converting leads in 2020 will come with unique challenges and we have to learn to adapt our marketing strategies accordingly. Are we still making cold calls in 2020 and if we are, how should we be approaching them? What are the quick, easy ways to stay top of mind for clients, both past and present? On this episode, owner and founder of Balance Business Consulting, Beverly Ruffner shares how to convert leads in the new decade. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

 

Most people don’t like being cold called, so start making ‘warm’ calls. We should aim to create a real connection with the person on the other side of the phone, and show we genuinely care about their best interests.

Stop selling and start telling. People react very differently when they know they’re learning something.

Keep in contact with past leads on Facebook; this is an easy, free way to stay top of mind. We can do this by sending a video to ourselves, and then forwarding it to our Facebook friends

A lot of team leaders think that a bigger team means better results, but that’s not always the case. Why should team leaders be less concerned with having big teams? Is there any room to give unproductive agents a second chance? Why is it important for business owners and team leaders to show their teams that they care? On this episode, broker at Infinity Real Estate Services Bakersfield and host of the Be Better podcast, Lee Barrison, shares how to build a team that’s better, not bigger. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

A bigger team often sounds impressive, but we should be more concerned with having a productive team. 

Unproductive agents should be dismissed, but not without having an opportunity to prove themselves. Put them through a 90 day process to see if they’re able to be more productive. 

Good leadership requires care. Start thinking of the deals and money we make with our teams as a by-product of great personal relationships.

Feb 13, 2020

The online space is saturated with content, so to stand out, we have to ensure that we can easily be found on a range of platforms. How can we create effective content for different platforms? How can we link our audience to our content across these platforms, and which online spaces should we be using as search engines in their own right? On this episode, founder of Nao Media, Chris Craft, shares how to be ‘Googleable’. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Create pieces of core content consistently, then repurpose by slicing and dicing smaller pieces for other platforms.

Don't put links to your core content when you repurpose it for other platforms. Put any links in the comments.

People don't use Facebook and LinkedIn search engines, so don't waste time on things like hashtags for those platforms
