Song: She Blinded Me with… Technology
last week, and nearly 600 people were in attendance! Among those 600, I was
somewhere in the crowd, soaking in as much information as I could right there
next to you all. About a dozen speakers presented on topics in which they are
experts, and they had so much valuable
information to share, I wanted to pass it along to those of you who were
not in attendance and recap it for those of you who were.
We started the day learning about how people are wired, how
media advertising messages are prevalent and how we, as REALTORS®, can stand
out in a sea of vanilla. We learned the use of the power questions to hone in
on our clients’ needs.
Then we dove into the waters of automation and how touch
campaigns can dramatically increase your conversion rates! Responsiveness is
right up there with honesty and integrity according
to a NAR survey of what clients want. Responding with video increases
your play rate 199%. Have you heard of the Accompany or Clips
App? If you haven’t, you might want to check them out!
Up next was a powerful wealth conversation. Each commission
should be split 25 percent to your silent business partner the IRS, 20 percent to
your business account, 40 percent to your personal account and 15 percent to
wealth building (investments, retirement, savings).
How much money is hiding in your database? What is your open
rate? Is it time to reengage with your database? These are questions discussed
by Dan Stewart with Happy Grasshopper.
There are no secrets to success in real estate, just work!
millennials. 94 percent of millennials want responsiveness and 74 percent
want new listings data immediately—64 percent of those want that info via text
message. Think: Instant Gratification Generation!
Door Knocking, Mailers, Instagram, Market Snapshot Videos,
3D videos: you name it, we discussed it!
