My Secret to Tons of Referrals + 7 Ways Your Body Language Can Get People to Like You + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! December 12, 2015 My Secret to Tons of Referrals Dear Reader, After speaking with several agents recently, it struck me that in one area I’ve done a really bad job at communicating and I want to take a moment to see if I can “fix it”. After all, communication is not just about what is “said” but rather what message is perceived by the hearer (or in my case, reader). Many of you have been reading and following me for years and know that I’ve written extensively on the topic of sphere of influence marketing. I’ve been very much against it as a sole method of building a real estate practice. In fact, in a popular article I answered the question, “What do you think of sphere of influence marketing with this quote: “It’s a great supplement to your regular marketing so long as it’s free. As a stand-alone marketing technique, it is destined to fail, and if executed perfectly will yield you maybe a deal a month. Statistically, it can never make you a top producing agent…” Many agents read a statement like that and assume I am down on building a base of repeat and referral business while nothing could be further from the truth. Let’s look at that statement again: “It’s a great supplement to your regular marketing…” and analyze it. At first glance it sounds like I’m against it, but I’m really not. Look around you at all the top producing agents you can think of. Most have been in the business for years and have a seemingly unending base of referral business. Now they are on easy street, so to speak. They are finally reaping the harvest of years of doing business and hundreds of happy clients coming back again and/or referring their friends. My point is this: When an agent reaches that point in his business, he doesn’t even need to advertise. The agent I’m speaking to is the agent who is still building his practice. I hate to see agents who are still in their building phase waste valuable marketing resources on what is already theirs -- the repeat business and referrals of happy customers. Today there are more ways than ever to stay in touch with previous customers without spending a dime. Email, text messages, phone calls, and the easiest of all, social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. I hate to see agents wasting valuable marketing dollars on direct mail like postcards and newsletters, calendars, refrigerator magnets, and the list could go on forever. If you are still building your practice, you need to focus on advertising that has a direct relationship to results. Most advertising ideas are indirect. You spend a lot of money in various ways and hope that someone will call you. It’s the shotgun approach. You throw a bunch of money against the wall hoping some of it will stick. I believe that agents should focus on advertising ideas that have immediate and direct results -- what is known as “direct response” marketing. Indirect advertising or “branding” has one component: the advertisement. Direct response marketing has two: the advertising and some sort of capture mechanism. Of course if you are doing indirect advertising, your advertisement is about you -- how great you are. “I love me” advertising. You tell people enough times how great you are and hopefully some of them will believe you and give you a call. On the other hand, a direct response ad is all about your customer. What are they looking for right now? How can you solve a problem or meet a need right now? Then your ad directs them to a capture mechanism, whether phone or text or web technology, and you capture their contact information in exchange for meeting that need or solving that problem. A direct exchange of value. Unlike indirect advertising or branding, results from direct response marketing is immediate and predictable. But let’s not forget the purpose of immediate and predictable lead generation. It’s to build your practice -- to supplement your current level of repeat and referral business until such time as you no longer need to supplement it. Let me put it this way: By using direct response marketing (ads and lead capture technology), in only two short years of actually practicing real estate -- listing houses and riding in cars with buyers -- I built a large enough base of repeat and referral business that I am still contacted regularly by past customers wanting me to sell their houses or find them a new home, and I haven’t even practiced real estate on the “ground level” in ten years. Sure, I used to practice. But my solo practice grew into a team and then my team eventually to be the largest company in town with 150 agents. But I’ve been working almost exclusively at training agents and perfecting our lead capture and lead management software for the last ten years. I still have a brokerage but it is tiny because that’s not my focus. So what I hope my readers will take away from this is that I am a huge advocate of repeat and referral business. It doesn’t get any better than that. You have to really mess up not to do a deal with a previous client or a referral from a happy client. The work is a dream. Your reputation precedes you. It is fun! But, I also know that most agents I talk to cannot live on their current level of repeat and referral business. And most agents are tempted to take that too-small referral base and try to turn it into a living practice by overworking it, and the result is tragic. They chase off would-be business by being too aggressive. I believe that agents today should aspire to the day when their repeat and referral business keeps them making the level of income and gives them the freedom they desire. Until then I truly hope they will learn to do direct response marketing to supplement that business that is already theirs. Agents using technology like my Ultimate Website system can place proven ads like we teach them, and immediately (within 24 hours) have new customers. Best of all, if used as a consistent part of a comprehensive marketing plan, those agents can use the Ultimate Website to continue to work their repeat and referral business and then immediately supplement with new customers on demand when they are not as busy as they’d like to be. And the total cost to implement such a strategy, the way I teach, and generate a few new opportunities a day is less than the cost of sending out a single postcard to your existing sphere of influence. How cool is that?! So if you’re reading this and are still in the building phase of your practice -- you still could use some more business -- then I urge you to take a look at my Ultimate Website system. It is embarrassingly inexpensive and it will give you the ability to do direct response marketing and produce immediate and predictable results while you build your practice. If you haven’t yet tried my Ultimate Website (with LCM technology), I’d encourage you to check it out. Agents who use it are generating an average of 2-3 new inbound leads every day without spending additional money on advertising. It costs less than most websites and there is no long-term commitment or activation fee. Here is a link: http://GuerillaRealty.com.   Get My Ultimate Website Now » As always, thanks for reading.

Craigslist Scary? + 7 Ways Your Body Language Can Get People to Like You + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! December 11, 2015 Is Craigslist scary? Is it a waste of time? Can serious agents generate real clients from it? Does Craigslist only appeal to shoppers in the bottom income bracket? I answer all these questions and more in today's training blast. -- Matt Craigslist Scary? Dear Reader, Over the past 18 months, I have convinced countless agents to begin to take Craigslist seriously as a source of customers. Some agents have moved their entire focus to Craigslist, while others have simply used it to supplement their other traditional online campaigns. But all of them have produced astonishing results, and they’ve done it without spending any money. Craigslist is and always has been a great place to capture tons of customers, if you know what you’re doing. However, during the past 18 months I’ve discovered that the single greatest hurdle to overcome in convincing an agent to place his first ad on Craigslist is the negative stigma. For whatever reason, Craigslist has gotten a bad name among agents. Maybe it’s the “Craigslist killers” splashed across the headlines. Maybe you talked to a colleague who ran an ad on Craigslist once and didn’t get anything except for emails from spambots. But whatever the case, you need to forget about what you’ve heard and try it yourself. The truth is, it is relatively easy to capture 2-3 inbound buyer or seller leads from Craigslist every day, but again, only if you know what you’re doing. In this article I’m going to share the easy four-step formula I use in my own practice. The beauty is that it’s easy to learn -- by the end of this article, you’ll know it inside and out -- and it’s easy to repeat again and again. Best of all, it doesn’t cost you anything. If you follow these steps, I guarantee that you’ll be working with a new customer by the end of the week, possibly 3-4 new customers. Step One is procuring the perfect listing for your ad. What!? Yes, you heard me right. The first step to fully exploiting Craigslist for lots of buyer leads is to procure a great listing. After all, we are advertising on a real estate classifieds website. You’ll get nowhere without a property to list. But this is the first place that agents go wrong. Most agents I train on this method don’t have any listings, or else have very few. But here’s the secret: you don’t need to go out and take a new listing in order to follow my Craigslist formula. In fact my formula is exactly the same for agents who have lots of listings and agents who have none. You are going to borrow a listing. What do I mean by “borrowing” a listing? The best way to explain this concept is to describe exactly what I do when creating a new Craigslist ad from scratch. Again, all of this can be done for free and in a single afternoon. I recommend that you start today. I start by picking up a recent copy of the local Homes magazine or Real Estate Book. I flip through the pages until I find a listing suitable for my ad. What I’m looking for is always the same: Maximum curb appeal in my market’s average price range. Here’s why. Curb appeal ensures that my listing on Craigslist will generate lots of clicks. Buyers are attracted to beautiful homes far more than ugly ones. Duh. But you can’t simply pick the most beautiful home in the magazine, because chances are, for the majority of buyers, it’s out of their price range. The average home price in my market is $152,000. I usually choose an attractive but modest listing that is approximately $20-30K above average because I’ll attract a higher end customer and earn a higher commission. But this home price is still affordable for a large percentage of home shoppers. I don’t pick the million dollar mansions just because they are nice. Very few people are in the market for such a property, so I would capture few if any customers. Once I’ve chosen my “mark”, I contact the listing agent. I send a quick email just like this one. In fact, you can use this as template: Hey Joe, I was looking through the homes magazine... really like your listing at 123 Elmwood and would love to sell it! I’m putting together my ads for the month and I have an open spot. Would you mind if I included 123 Elmwood? Thanks, let me know. -Matt Just like in fishing, if you want to attract the best customers, you use very specific bait. When I was a kid we would use a piece of stale bread and hang our line over the drain pipe to catch catfish. And it worked every time, but if you wanted to catch something worth eating, then you had to save up and buy a better lure. It’s the same in real estate. If you advertise bottom of the barrel listings, just because you happen to be the listing agent, then you’re going to attract bottom of the barrel customers. Low income shoppers don't come from Craigslist. They come from low end listings. For that reason, I recommend my “borrowed listings” strategy even to listing agents. Look, I am the author of The Ultimate Listing Presentation, I’ve taken as many as 114 listings in a single year, I’ve never had a shortage of solid listings to advertise, and I still borrow listings in order to create the “perfect” Craigslist ad. Take your ego out of it for a minute and ask yourself, what is going to generate me the most business? Probably not that $59,000 probate listing you took as a favor to a friend. [Note: Do this now. Use my email as a template, but put your own spin on it. This approach really works and only takes a few minutes to complete. Just think, by the end of the day you could have several beautiful properties in your arsenal.] Wait, what if they say no? When I teach this practice, agents look at me like I’ve asked them to do something sneaky or unethical. But let me ask you this. What if an agent approached you with the same question? Remember your fiduciary obligation to your client. Would withholding that listing from a free source of advertising be upholding that obligation? I can honestly say that in 10 years my request has never been turned down. Most agents are thrilled that I’m helping them move their listings. But of course I’m fully prepared for the possibility that one day the listing agent will decline my request. So what. There’s an entire book full of beautiful listings. Why would one “no” stop you? Step Two is creating the perfect ad. Writing a great ad shouldn’t take a lot of time and doesn’t require years of copywriting experience. In fact, when it comes to real estate listings the best ads say very little. Plus, I’m about to share the exact ad formula that I use to write all of my ads. If you follow this formula, creating a new ad from scratch should only take about ten minutes. Previously I have only shared this ad-writing formula with Ultimate Website users, but I believe this is a skill that any agent can learn very quickly and that all agents need. So here goes. Here is an actual ad that I posted on my local Craigslist: This ad alone brought in over fifteen new customers per month. (And that was just one ad. I typically recommend that you run at least five to ten simultaneously.) Here’s the simple formula I followed to create this ad: MY CRAIGSLIST AD FORMULA A. Write a short, plain description of the home in the title. In my example, I give the bedrooms and the neighborhood. B. Identify five selling features of the home. Study my example above and use it as a template. Selling features could include a pool or any special amenities, recent additions or upgrades, or the location. Limit yourself to only the top five selling features. The ad shouldn’t outlast your visitor’s attention span. C. DO NOT INCLUDE THE PRICE. This is the most important step of the formula. Many agents see this as heresy, but remember, our goal is to maximize curiosity, not maximize the information. D. In a large font, add a footer that tells your visitor where they can get more information about the property. I recommend that you use my footer exactly. It is professional, no-pressure, highly tested, and it works. Yes, that’s my entire formula. Go ahead and write your ad now. You might still be waiting to receive permission from the listing agent, but I can almost guarantee that you’ll get it. And on the off chance that he says no, you’ve only wasted about 10 minutes and it’s good practice. Don’t put it off. Do it now, and you’ll see how incredibly easy writing a great ad should be. But wait, I don’t have a website or a property hotline or a text messaging service, so how can I write an ad? Don’t worry, this problem is completely normal and I address it in step three. Step Three is lead capture. You’ve written the perfect ad. You are now holding the attention of an interested buyer who, statistically speaking, will be making a purchase within the next 90 days. How are you going to turn him into a client? The answer is you need some form of effective lead capture. Obviously I use my Ultimate Website, and you can get your own (it’s relatively inexpensive). My Ultimate Website includes three separate forms of lead capture, and I believe that they are each essential to your advertising. Customers have widely disparate preferences when it comes to searching for homes online. A few will prefer to make a quick phone call (these will result in the warmest leads). Some will be mobile and prefer to send a text for more information. The majority will prefer to continue their search on your website, so it’s necessary to have lead capture technology there as well. I strongly recommend all three. And you can get all of these technologies separately from different companies for a few hundred dollars a month. (My Ultimate Website includes all three for about $83/mo. but that's enough sales pitch for now.) It’s more important to me that you have these technologies than whether you get them from me. However, I recommend that you at least take a look at my Ultimate Website because it’s available at a fraction of what it would cost you to buy them separately from other companies. Anyway, that brings us to step four. Step 4 is the easiest. Sit back and wait for the customers to come to you. I expect to capture about one customer per ad that I place, so I recommend placing more than one at a time. Craigslist will allow you to renew the ad to the top of the listings every 48 hours. So if you post five ads and renew them each fifteen times per month, that’s approximately 75 customers every month -- without spending a dime in advertising and very little time maintaining your ads. Not bad. That’s my entire approach. If you complete these four steps you can be guaranteed that you are exploiting your local Craigslist for all its worth. The best part is, because very few agents know what they are doing on Craigslist, there are lots of customers and very little competition among agents. If you haven’t yet tried my Ultimate Website (with LCM technology), I’d encourage you to check it out. Agents who use it are generating an average of 2-3 new inbound leads every day without spending additional money on advertising.
