Reader Emails + 5 Lies You've Been Told About Productivity + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! January 14, 2016 Reader Emails Dear Reader, I have another article waiting to be published today on the threat of Zillow and why you don't need to be afraid of it, but then I came across this email and I decided my next article could wait -- my readers need to see this. It's an email received by my coaching staff from an agent who started using my Ultimate Website three months and five days ago. I don't have permission to share this email, so I've witheld the agent's last name as well as any other identifying information, but I believe when you read it you'll be inspired by the sheer simplicity. Most agents who are considering my Ultimate Website have this impression that it will take weeks or even months to set up their website and start getting new customers. But the truth is far from that. Your website is fully functional and ready to use the moment you sign up, and if you follow our simple ad format, you could capture new customers as early as this afternoon. Even if you don't have any listings! Read the email for yourself: Matt, I purchased LCM to help build a business base. I moved from Portland Oregon to Orlando Fl. I don't have a sphere of Influence. There are many gated communities with no Solicitation-Deed Restricted subdivisions. I've held open houses and I've got one customer in 24 days. Basically, this is as difficult a market for a new comer as it gets. I just got your Ultimate Website in April... I've made some mistakes like putting my ads on Craig's List in the section for Real Estate Services. That cost me a week, but then I saw my office manager did the same thing and I know he isn't getting any clients because he asked them to call the office PHONE. Then I started getting a few clients and I changed your proven ad format and added the price of the homes to the ads and no more customers. Doh! Fixed that. Now we have 10 potential clients and they are coming in every day on autpilot like you teach, while I'm focusing on everything else. Like grocery shopping and helping my mother -in-law, or attending a builders OPEN for Realtors. That surprised me. I have not closed a transaction yet, but considering it took me almost two years to decide to use your Ultimate Website, one solid month of Craig's list and 10 potential clients, that's exactly what you predicted. Thanks, a few more little details to sort out but amazing how it does what you said it would do. Thanks -- Jeffrey The thing I love most about this email is that Jeffrey entered a market that is downright hostile to new comers and is starting from zero. He's placing simple, free ads like my coaching staff showed him (and just like I do), and although he's experienced a few hiccups when he didn't follow my ad format, now he's got ten new customers without spending any money on advertising. It's as simple as that. I can't wait to get more follow up emails form Jeffrey as these customers move to closing. But I'm so inspired by Jeffrey's boldness that I'm creating a discount code in his honor -- a little incentive to push you over the edge if you find yourself wanting to do exactly what he did. I want to give you another great reason to try my Ultimate Website. Today my readers can get an additional 20% off the already discounted price. You will get the entire LCM system -- the coaching, the website, all the technologies I use in my own practice are included. However, it's not available to the general public. Recently, a few of my discount codes have been shared around the internet to non-subscribers. But this discount is available only to my email subscribers. To claim your free discount code, go to http://GuerillaRealty.com and access the "Live Chat" feature in the bottom right hand corner. Tell my staff that you want the discount code for October 9th, they'll verify your email address on the spot, and send the code for 20% off the already discounted price. This deal will expire at midnight tonight. Get the Ultimate Website Now » As always, thanks for reading.
