The Traffic Approach + New Home Sales Surge to New After-Recession High + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! June 4, 2016 The Traffic Approach Dear Reader, I wanted you to be the first to know that my new podcast episode is live. If you missed the announcement last week, we just launched the Becoming a Mega Producer Podcast where I'll be sharing all kinds of content that you can't get in my daily email blasts. Today's episode is a part of a series on the listing presentation that I used to take over 100 listing in my first year in real estate. Long-time readers of mine are probably familiar with the story, but many new readers probably don't know: I listed 114 houses in as a rookie agent. And I didn't take any builder listings or multi-unit properties. I listed 114 single-family homes one kitchen table at a time. And I was a brand new agent, so you know it wasn't because I was well connected or got lots of referral business. I just had a better system. I call it the "Traffic" approach. Since then top listing agents from all over the country have flown to my office in North Carolina to learn my Ultimate Listing Presentation directly from me, but now for the first time, I'm sharing the complete system on the podcast. It will be broken up into four parts -- and the first two parts are already live, so you'll need to play catch up. My podcast is syndicated through iTunes and Stitcher. All you need to do is follow one of the links below and click "subscribe" to get regular updates when I release the next episode. I recommend subscribing from the Podcast app on your phone but there are many different ways to listen. I hope you enjoy it. Listen on iTunes » Listen on Stitcher » I'm excited about the new audiences I'll be reaching with this podcast, but I'm still dedicated to sharing the majority of what I do with my core subscribers -- you. As a thank you for subscribing to the new Podcast and sharing it with your friends and colleagues, I’ve created an incredible deal for you. If you’ve been on the fence about making the jump into the world of online real estate because you are “technology challenged,” don’t be. Today is the day to make the jump.

The 1000 Phone Call Test + Will Agent Searching Become a Thing? + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! June 3, 2016 The 1000 Phone Call Test (I Hope I Don’t Hurt Your Feelings) Earlier this week I had the privilege of talking to one of our Ultimate Website users named Matt Mouser. We were discussing his business plan for next year -- yes, he has a business plan! Because Matt is growing his business the way I’ve taught him, and is having great success I often brag about him and include some of our correspondence in my daily training email blasts. Well as we were talking on the phone Monday, he shared with me that whenever I mention him in one of my articles, he normally gets about half a dozen phone calls from agents around the country wanting to find out that he is real and what he’s doing. Of course he tells them that he generates tons of free leads using the Ultimate Website and Craigslist, and that he follows up on them as quickly as possible. But here’s the part that absolutely floored me: Matt told me that several agents lately, when they’ve heard that he makes over a thousand phone calls to new leads in a year just flat out told him that they just couldn’t do that and immediately lost interest. When he told me, I have to admit that I was dumbfounded. I literally didn’t know what to say. All I hear about from agents is how they don’t have enough business, and yet when you show some of them how to make more leads for free than they can possibly handle and they don’t want to pick up the phone and engage them?! Huh? I don’t even know what to say! So let me try this. To those of you who feel like you can’t make a thousand phone calls... The way you are successful in real estate is the same way you eat an elephant -- one bite at a time. Come on folks -- think about it -- a thousand phone calls a year is not that many. Most of us work about 250 days a year so that translates into making about four phone calls to new customers a day. Is that really too much to ask to earn a six figure income? I know of one very successful real estate coach who used to teach his agents to make one hundred phone calls a day, and all of them cold calls. Have we really gotten so lazy as agents that we can’t find the time to make four phone calls a day to earn $100,000? If you have and I’m referring to you in this article, I’d like you seriously think about another line of work. Real estate is a great business and many of us are willing to work it hard. If you are one of those who’s too “busy” (think lazy) to make a few phone calls to new customers, you really need to rethink your career choice. After all, this is a sales business. There is no easy money, just for wearing your Realtor pin and showing up at the office. On the other hand, if you are one of my readers who isn’t afraid of a little work, you can do what Matt has done. In the last year he’s grown his practice to about four transactions a month and was asking me questions about building a team. And he’s doing that by working hard, making tons of free leads, and actually picking up the phone and talking to them. Oh, and if you are wondering what the Ultimate Website that Matt Mouser uses is all about, there's a link to check it out below. I think Matt's story is so great that I want to help others follow in his footsteps exactly. So I've created a special deal for you. When you use the code below at checkout, you'll get my complete Ultimate Website system, plus you'll also get two extras that will allow you to duplicate what Michael is doing exactly. Promo Code: “MOUSER” (All caps, no quotations) #1 First, with this promo code you'll get a free Craigslist ad. My coaching staff will actually write your first Craigslist ad for you FREE ($150 value). Not a standard classified listing -- a super-charged ad, just like Craig is running, my exact formula that will swarm your website with customers. You supply the new property listing (it can be borrowed) and we'll write a unique, proven, and highly effective Craiglist ad that you can run over and over again for free. #2 You will also get my entire eBook library (a $200 value) free of charge. That's all 10 of my books I've written on how to make a killing in real estate FREE. This include my book Becoming a Mega-Producer where I tell the whole ugly story about how I practically failed out of real estate before becoming the top listing agent in my market. This book includes a blueprint for you to follow to completely automate your advertising. Plus you'll get my nine other training books. And by the way, these are no longer for sale anywhere. The ONLY way to get them currently is through this deal. Or look up price and availability in your area. As always, thanks for reading.
