3 case studies

Three quick case studies to start your day...

Case study #1: Carlos from Florida
Focus: Lead gen

Carlos' is a great story. It's based on the "100 leads" principle.

The 100 leads principle is this: There aren't many problems in real estate, or any business, that can't be fixed by 100 new leads.

Think about... it almost doesn't even matter why you're struggling right now. If I threw 100 new customers at you over the next 30 days, that problem would probably disappear.

Imagine you were working with indecisive buyers who refuse to submit an offer after six months of showings (this is a true story). That's a big problem, right? But if you had 100 new leads, you wouldn't care. You could fire them.

This is the basic position Carlos found himself in when he started using our lead gen software Pipeline Pro Tools on April 19.

That was 20 days ago. I just checked his dashboard this morning... he's generated 87 new leads. That puts him on track to get 130+ leads for the month, and he's already working with 4 buyers in the 250-350K price range.

Total potential commissions: $36,200.00

Case study #2: Matt from Michigan
Focus: Prospecting

Matt's story is based on the "1,000 calls" principle.

Unlike Carlos, who's only been using Pipeline Pro Tools for three weeks, Matt has been a user for 5+ years.

He focuses on making a minimum of 1,000 calls to new leads every year (or about 20 per week). If he can do that, he knows his business will take care of itself.

His result? He's doubled his income twice, and he's now a consistent six figure earner.

Now obviously he has to generate 20 new leads per week to have people to call. He uses Pro Tools for that.

But making consistent calls every week is the key to his growth.

Case study #3: Nick from Michigan
Focus: Closing the deal

Nick is a great example of an agent whose sole focus is closing. the. deal.

And he's got the results to prove it. Nick got started with Pro Tools exactly 1 year ago this month.

In his first weekend using the software, he generated 30+ leads. 1 month later he pended his first deal at $560K.

Let's review the timeline: Started April 18. On May 23, he pends a deal at $560K for a gross commission of $16K.

How did he do it? He used the two principles:

- 100 leads
- 1,000 calls

The first principle is to get a large volume of leads so the deals are easy to find. The second principle is to do consistent follow up every week (about 20 calls per week). And thirdly, Nick focused on closing deals as fast a possible. He didn't piddle around.

Better scripts

Right now I'm teaching through how to take more listings.

The system I'll be teaching through is the same system I developed that allowed my team, Guerilla Realty, to average 2+ listings per week for an entire year. (114 listings total in 12 months.)

Last we talked about where to get seller leads. Hint: the answer is buyer leads. If you missed that email, go back and read it here.

Today, I'm going to show you my exact script for booking a listing appointment.

It's brain dead simple, but for it to work, you have to get leads every day.

This lesson isn't a sales pitch, but if you're not getting leads every day, you need lead gen software.

My company's lead gen software is Pipeline Pro Tools. Here's an example from our private facebook group. This agent in Florida captured 11 seller leads (55% of all buyers are sellers) with ONE ad.

Once you have leads coming in every day, here's a simple script you can use to book appointments.

Book more appointments with this script:

AGENT: Hey, this is Chris Jones with Guerilla Realty... I saw you inquired about the property at 123 Elm Street. This is a quick customer service follow up to make sure you got everything you needed.

LEAD: Yeah, I'm all set.

AGENT: Okay, cool. Hey, the other reason I called is... when you eventually buy a house, will you be selling your current home?

LEAD: [Usually they'll say "yes" or "I haven't decided, we might rent it"]

AGENT: We have a new service where we do a free in-depth valuation so you know what it's worth when you're ready to list. We use around 50 different data points on average. It's a lot like a real appraisal, but appraisals cost $400-500, and this is free. Is that something you're interested in?

**pause**

LEAD: 50% of the time, they'll say "Sure".

Now you have a foot in the door!

In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to complete the ultimate CMA to completely wow the seller the next time you talk.

If you aren't getting new leads every day, you can solve that problem immediately.
