As you know, we’re in a shifting economy. 

Everyone and their dog (if they have a dog) is talking about it. Sorry couldn’t resist that one. 

But the really big thing that most people writing about this economy are forgetting?

They are forgetting about the humans in your business. 

They are focusing on making you feel scared, or causing you to look inward too much.  

They are forgetting that there are clients, humans, and future buyers that are needing your services. 

These clients deserve the right person to get them what they need. 

These clients are looking for someone that can meet their needs, whatever you happen to sell or offer. 

So there is never been a better time to remain that the top or take your place amongst the top in your industry, for how you serve, and for the results you get your clients. 

Over the next few months Darryl and I are dedicated to making sure that we share a simple but powerful strategy that can help you do this. 

So today you might find yourself in a one of two different places. 

Client work is full. You might feel overwhelmed or too busy to grow your business. If that’s where you find yourself then what we will share will help you can gain some control back and get some relief so that you can continue growing your revenue. 

If you’re feeling like you want to secure some sustainability and add more buyers then this strategy will help you also. 

Or maybe you find yourself right in between those two?

Either way, the coaching strategies we teach are purely focused under three main things. They are end to end strategies meaning they sit at very high level so that you know how to make laser focuseddecisions under them that are personal to you. 

High level does’t mean hard. It just means that they are very intentional.  


Here they are:


1. Making sure that clients you bring in with your marketing are staying and engaging with your business.  

2. Crafting an Online Reputation so it showcases why you are at the top or amongst the top so more people can work with you. 

3. Setting up your business so it’s shared by the right people with the right motives. 


The strategies we teach are not DO WHAT JODI AND DARRYL SAY strategies.  

Instead, when you understand how all three things fit into one end to end strategy it provides the GPS or the answer sheet to all business decisions so you can stop throwing around strategies here and there that don’t actually stick and do what you want.  

If you implement an end to end strategy like this, what do you get if you do?

You remain at the top, or take your place amongst those who are.  

Which is why we’re sharing this strategy with you over the next while.  

It’s your ticket in this market and to sustainability. It’s the ticket to a know, like, and trusted business. 

It’s you that people need, and the results you offer. 


More on the strategy soon.

We know the market is shifting and a lot of agents are scrambling to figure out what to do and how to respond. Maybe you’re not concerned, may be you are. 

Either way this is good news. 

Good things can happen inside crisis.  


I was listening to a Donald Miller Podcast a few days ago. He’s a fantastic author, father and CEO of Brand Story. In the podcast he said to the audience. “I love a good crisis”.

In crisis, we move. In crisis we improve on behalf of our clients to keep their wallets and eyes on us. We become innovators and creators. 

Without a crisis we can stay status quo. 

But in a crisis we do not have a choice. 

Which is why Darryl and I are big believers in change for the sake of our customers and your customers is allows worth pursuing. 

And to do that, today is all about what to do in this pivotal moment in the market and what you do to remain elevated this moment. 

Continuing to elevate could look like a few ways and I have a few (actually 3) for you to look at. 

Day one we talked about not staying silent on Social Media and in your communication. 

One way you can elevate right now is making sure that your target messaging is high on your list within your marketing plan. 

 1. Instead of creating another market infographic about a SOLD Home do this instead. 

You know who your target audience leads needs are right now. If you don’t, just ask. 


– What are the things they are thinking about in the lead, buying and purchasing prices right now? Go into the nuance of details in their minds. 


– Is it not knowing if they should paint? Is it knowing if right now is a good time for them to buy or sell? What are the specific items they are thinking about in the middle of the night or at the dinner table? 


The only way we can find this out is to ask. Point #2. 🙂

Once you know this take it to social media to tell your clients exactly what you are doing about this, or how you approach this situation. They need you now. 

 2. Talk to your clients versus talking around the situation in general newsletters. 

Everyone is sending newsletters, but not everyone is picking up the phone and talking to their leads and clients. Be Omnipresent. Be in the gaps and go into the places that other agents aren’t willing to go. 

By no mean are we suggesting what to do or not to do. That is never our role as coaches to help you. Our role is to be the eyes and ears of your customers so you make more sales and profits and referrals. 

A customer who is panicked, worried, or excited at the possibility that they just might get to actual sell their property will not be comforted by a ONLY a newsletter right now. 

How to start this — What is your natural communication method that feels right for you to step into this authority? Phone, text, hand written card? Go there and asking them their every thought. 

They will remember down the road of the time and attention you gave them. 

3. Keep doing all the elevated things that serves your clients. 

Your team serves with integrity, excellence, and you want results for your clients. We know this, and we want to make sure that your clients and new leads, always know this. 

– If you run your team with a CRM and other systems then now is not the time to let those go stagnant and risk all the hard work you’ve put into your clients this past year. 

– Make sure your whole team is using the processes you’ve set up to get your clients success. It’s your guarantee and insurance for a possible referral one day. It’s your greatest marketing asset. 

– If you’ve offered a service over this past year, continue to offer it. 

– If you offering move in services, such as cleaning or food it might be time to elevate those services? 

Remember the family and friends that help your clients move? They are future clients in the waiting room to experiencing your magic, and the way you move and find properties. 

– Consider purchase a gift cards for a massage services for a few humans who helped your client move? 

– Purchase a pizza party for the whole crew that came to help. Go beyond pizza and include a whole ice-cream spread. Deliver it and set it up for your clients. That’s the wow factor I’m talking about. One worth remembering.  

The options are endless. 

By the way, we think you are incredible. The work you do is very important.

We’d like nothing more than for you and your team to be the elevated ones right now who are making the sales and keeping those clients and referring clients.


Talk to you next time.

You can stand out with your social media or just add noise. You get to decide.

Last week I decided that kicking off and re-starting our business Advantaging we wanted to send five ways to stay at top of your industry while you continue to do all the things you currently are doing to grow your business.

Most of these suggestions are critical items you might still be doing, and some are ones you likely need to take a second look at and start doing.

The reason we are sending these is that we know your desire to remain at the top. To remain at the top with excellence, we need to do the same things over and over.

We know you already have the goal to ultimately to help and serve people with your business and provide them with incredible results. 

You honestly wouldn’t be reading this blog entry if is wasn’t your goal.

But the one thing we are very confident with our work is that when the marketplace shifts, it brings customers to a place where they get picker on who to look to, (or continue to choose), who to trust to open their wallets to and who to take a chance in this moment. 

Are they going to choose you? We hope so. 

We see this as a huge advantage for you within your social media and a chance to stand out yet again amongst so many businesses and teams. 

Now is NOT the time to go silent on social media. 

There’s so much false information surrounding real estate nowadays that it’s insane. And because of that people are pushing back, questioning everything they hear. Some might be scared. 

But what they really need to hear is the truth. They need to have someone like you in their corner that is going to give them the correct information. 

They need good advice.

They need your guidance.

But are you portraying that in your communication and in your social media posting?

Are they truly hearing your expertise? 

Because if they’re not, you’re missing out on HUGE opportunities for future growth.
 

But if you’re not… you’re just blending in with the rest of the noise and uncertainty. 

Your content is where you can speak directly to those who are thinking, wanting to buy or sell. Where you can say exactly what they need to hear from you to help them find solutions to their situation.

This should almost be 80% of your marketing material within your social media posting.

If you’re giving them what they need to hear,  you are building that like, know, and trust factor. Its a micro agreement (we like to call it) on their way to become a lead in your software, stay a lead, stay a client, or be worthy of seeing those referrals. 

We want you to remain at the top.
 

We want to see you dominate your real estate market and build and continue building those strong relationships with your clients and future clients.
 

By the way, we really mean it when we say that we want you to succeed.  Leave us a comment, sent us a note, we’d love to hear form you and help you take your best next step

Talk to you next time.
