Three Pendings in Three Weeks + Agent Poses in Panda Costume to Sell Home + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! July 1, 2016 Three Pendings in Three Weeks Dear Reader, Earlier this week I wrote an article featuring one of our Ultimate Website users named Blake. Blake is a seasoned agent and GRI in Central California and as such he’s been around long enough to see about every kind of market and every kind of technology offering for Realtors. Well, Blake read my daily training blast email that day and saw his email featured along with my disclaimer and afterwards he sent me another email that I will share with you in a minute, but first, by way of background, here is my disclaimer and his first email: Here is my disclaimer: "I personally hate to read salesy testimonials, so I am reluctant to even share this with you because it sounds as though it was solicited, and the fact is it wasn’t." Here is Blake’s first email: “Hey Matt, Having the Ultimate Website with LCM technology is making all the difference in the world for me. Every time I run Craigslist ads, I generate 4 to 6 new leads. Every single time! I read your article this morning about the consolidation of our industry and wanted to thank you for your LCM technology, which has allowed me the luxury of affiliating with a 100% office. I finally get to keep all my hard-earned commissions! _Finally, as a former agent with ZipRealty I wanted to comment on your numbers since it's even worse than you say it is. Zip charges a 20% referral fee for Zip-generated leads off the top, then gives agents a 50% split of what's left! _ Thanks for everything!” So after reading that daily training blast that featured him, Blake sent me a followup email that said the following: “Matt, After reading your comments on the note I sent you the other day, I realized that the way I expressed my enthusiasm did indeed sound a little like a "canned" recommendation, so I felt compelled to follow up. To everyone out there on the fence like I was for three years before finally pulling the trigger on the Ultimate Website, my comments were real! I have been in the business a long time, licensed in three different states and tried all types of lead generation programs. Nothing...let me repeat, NOTHING has worked for me as well as this program and it's not expensive! I can turn on the lead spigot any time I need more business and bingo, there it is! Finally, the thing that really impresses me is the phone numbers you get through the system are accurate at least 95% of the time and that is critical to your conversion success. Do yourselves a favor and "Just Do It!" You will never look back if you work the program. Thank you Matt for what you've done for the average agent out there struggling to make a living. You have changed my life and career. By the way, if you do end up using this email down the line you can add that in 3 weeks, running only Craigslist ads, I have picked up 15 new leads, 10 getting auto listings and 3 going to escrow! Warmest regards,” This email is so full of insight that I hardly know where to start, but I especially love the “faucet” metaphor because it shows that Blake truly understands the power of being in control of his lead generation. Many agents will work their entire careers under the constant anxiety of wondering when and where they will get their next client. You cannot fully understand the feeling of freedom you get when you have the power to generate new clients at will until you actually experience it for yourself. It’s incredible and it completely changed the trajectory of my career. I personally went from struggling to having a team of a dozen agents in about six months time… simply by having lots of opportunities. If you’re reading this and haven’t had a chance to check out my Ultimate Website with LCM technology, I urge you to take a moment to see what all the fuss is about. I think you will be very favorably impressed, and if you decide to try it today, I’ll give you a coupon code that will get you a $350 bonus today. Ultimate Website link: http://GuerillaRealty.com Discount code: “BLAKE” (all caps, no quotes) Thank you, Blake for your followup. I’m truly glad that you’ve discovered the secret of generating your own business when you need it -- on demand, so to speak. I’m confident that my readers will be glad hearing back from you both confirming that you are real and by your encouragement too. Also thank you for telling me, “You have changed my life and career.” I am both honored and humbled. It really means a lot to me. It’s very rewarding hearing from those readers whose life I have somehow impacted and I am glad I was able to help in some small way. But never forget that the real secret to your success is you -- your attitude and willingness to try new things until you finally found something that works. I’m happy that you tried my Ultimate Website. As always, thanks for reading.
