Sell More Homes and Stay Profitable In The Age Of Disruption.
Truck driver -> top-producer
Do you know Kevin Grullon? Probably not.
For years Kevin worked as a truck driver in central North Carolina where I live.
He was a single dad with kids, bills, responsibilities... aka a real life. But he also had two other things that, if you're reading this email, you probably have too.
Thing #1 - A desire to provide a better life for his family.
Thing #2 - The willingness to take action to achieve #1.
He decided to better his situation by getting his real estate license to make some extra money on the side.
He joined our local team and started using our inbound lead software Pipeline Pro Tools. (Get a 15min demo here.)
I still remember Kevin sitting in on my live Ads Training to learn how to generate leads. He barely paid attention because he was flirting with his now wife Shawn (true story).
But he got the basics down and that month he generated 42 leads on his own using Pipeline Pro Tools.
Now let's stop right there...
Give Kevin a round of applause. To go from 0 leads, no experience, no unfair advantages to generating 42 real estate leads in 1 month is legitimate hard work.
But the real hard work came next. Putting it on autopilot so that he could spend his time helping customers.
So he took our lead playbooks (the same ones I teach in these emails) and implemented them step-by-friggin-step.
He spent ~30 minutes per week checking his ads.
Within three months Kevin had a choice to make.
Should he quit driving his truck and start doing real estate full-time? After all, his income from real estate was now more than his full-time job.
He chose real estate. (Good choice, Kevin.)
That first year he made $351,623 in commissions and the next year he earned $541,298.
Having the ability to generate a never ending supply of leads, and more importantly being able to put it on autopilot, changed his life. Made him rich too.
Since then he married the girl he met in my lead gen training, they bought a huge new house with a swimming pool together, and they now run a huge real estate team in my hometown.
Kevin is awesome.
If you have a desire to better your situation and also a willingness to take action then here's the breakdown of what you need to do...
- Identify your lead number (can be tricky)
- Learn how to run free listing ads (easy)
- Get Pipeline Pro Tools to capture leads (also easy)
That's it. Sounds pretty simple, right? Kevin worked hard for sure...but he worked hard at a simple daily plan that was easy to stick to.
Want at 15min demo? We'll answer all your questions, show you the system, and give you 1-2 concrete instances of how you could grow your real estate business with Pro Tools in the first 30 days.
Here's the link one more time -> http://www.calendly.com/guerilla-realty/demo
And if you book a demo today, we'll GIVE you the #1 lead playbook Kevin used to get to $351k in GCI (or another playbook, your choice) totally free of charge and yours to keep forever.
All the best,

Less than 1/5th of what you do this week matters
The eighty-twenty rule. Aka as The Pareto Principle. You've probably heard it somewhere.
It states that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
Quick example... it's January. Most agents consider it an "off month".
Roughly 80% of homes will be sold by the top 20% of agents.
Here's another example. Out of all the activities you do this week to grow your business, only 20% of those activities will produce 80% of your results.
That means only 1/5th of what you do this week will have a measurable impact on your business.
What if you could flip the script?
What if you could take the little blue slice that matters and double it?
And what if you could eliminate the big red portion that's sucking all of your energy?
Instantly you'd grow your business by 60% while cutting your workload in half.
Here's what 60% growth looks like in real life...
Income before vs income after
- $30k => $48k
- $50k => $80k
- $80k => $128k
This is what I do with my real estate team and my software business every quarter.
We track every activity and every result and we clearly identify what's really working and what's just sucking our energy.
We've found that out of the dozen-or-so thing the average agent does each week, only 2 things seem to really matter.
1. Generating fresh contacts/leads
2. Phone follow up
That's it. I'll say it again. Getting leads. And following up with them by phone.
As with most things of course the devil is in the details. What qualifies as a "lead" and how do you generate them?
In our book, a "lead" means a name and phone number of someone you KNOW is buying/selling in the next 105 days.
And we've boiled "getting leads" down to 3 simple marketing playbooks that we run over and over with our software Pipeline Pro Tools. Brings us 5-10 new leads per day!
You could do the same thing.
Or you could be like Matt Mouser. He focused on these 2 simple activities and doubled his business 2 years in a row. Now he is a consistent six figure earner in a slow market where the avg sale price is < $150k.
Or you could be like Adrian F. He focused on these 2 things and he went from ~12 transactions in 2018 to 40+ transactions in 2019.
All you need is a desire to grow, a willingness to take action, and Pipeline Pro Tools.
The question is this. Are you going to be among the blue slice of agents who grows this month? Or the red swath of agents who wastes a lot of energy?
You can start by getting a quick demo. If you book a demo (and show up), we'll give you 1 of our top 3 marketing playbooks to keep free (your choice).
>>> Get a demo <<<
You'll get to see inside the software, exactly how it works, plus 1-2 instances how you could run Pro Tools in your business right away. And it's all free.

2 stories, 2 playbooks (free)
You know what's better than leads? Transactions.
Last week we completed a massive training series on how to get 100+ leads in November. We gave you 5 crunchy strategies that you can implement to start getting leads immediately -- and they can run on auto-pilot.
But you know what?
Transactions > Leads
Gio in Nevada knows this. We trained him on the Craigslist Killer strategy and he implemented it step-by-step. The result? 51 leads in the first 2 weeks. That's a lot of leads to call, so he was naturally skeptical of the quality...
...until he started making contacts and double-ended a condo deal for a sweet $16,302 commission.
Same thing for Terry in Utah. We taught him The Zuck strategy (among others). Really simple. Now he's averaging 89 leads per month. That's great, but we're hungry for closed transactions, not just leads.
Terry had his work cut out for him. The follow up required for 89 leads/mo is HUGE, but he faithfully contacted his 2-3 new leads/day.
Result: He closed for a $9,642 commission in the first 90 days after implementing the lead strategy. Boom. (Dozens more buyers/sellers in his pipeline.)
This is our ultimate measure of success here at Guerilla Realty -- earned commissions. Our users had a record-breaking success rate in Q4 of 2019 and believe it or not we're on pace to 2x that number this year.
If you want to get a demo of the lead gen software Terry and Gio used above -- Pipeline Pro Tools -- click the link below.

And when you book a demo, we'll GIVE you 1 of the marketing playbooks above -- your choice... The Zuck or The Craigslist Killer.

Do this today (25min)
It's day 4 in our series Race to 100 Leads
The premise of this series is that ANY problem in your real estate business can be solved by 100+ new leads.
So that's what we're going to help you with. Getting 100 leads in the month of November.
Today I'm going to share with you my #1 most powerful lead gen strategy. Exact ads, all the scripts you need, etc.
We call it "The Craigslist Killer" because, as I'm about to show you, you can absolutely kill it with 10 really simple Craigslist ads.
If executed correctly, this strategy will get you 100+ leads per month on its own.
All right, let's go.
******
The Craigslist Killer
Quick Summary:
- Execute "The Loaner" strategy 10x
- Write Craigslist ad for each listing
- Post 1x
- Refresh every 48hrs
Tools Needed:
- The Loaner Script
- Our perfect ad to copy/paste
- Craigslist.org
- Pipeline Pro Tools (optional)
Time:
Approx. 25mins per listing
Expected Impact:
20 leads per listing. Rinse and repeat as many times as you want.
Now watch me walk through each detail of the The Craigslist Killer strategy so that you can replicate it...
-> Watch "The Craigslist Killer" process step-by-step (.mp4)
This strategy will start generating leads almost immediately. Less than 2 hours typically! Rinse and repeat as many times as necessary.
You'll get a steady flow of 20+ leads every time you create a new posting from a loaner listing. The better the listing, the more leads you'll get.
Now it's your turn. Go to work.
Btw I used my company's lead gen software Pipeline Pro Tools to implement today's strategy. You don't absolutely NEED it to follow along. Each strategy will work on its own. But Pro Tools will today's lesson 100x easier and more effective if you have it.
If you've considered getting it in the past, now's a great time to revisit the idea.
Don't be hasty. Some agents buy Pro Tools after looking at it for 5 seconds.
Instead let's make a little deal.
- I'm sending you our awesome Yard Dog strategy today
- You get a 15min demo of Pipeline Pro Tools
If you book a demo and show up for it we'll GIVE you 1 of our top 3 internal marketing playbooks. These playbooks are the exact methods our own real estate team uses to generate 250+ leads every month.
-> Book a demo
Sound fair?
