Tom Ferry Success Summit 2019 in Anaheim, California – Tom Bilyeu

August 26, 2019August 20, 2019 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

I’ll know I’ve made it in the world when I have an introduction from Tom Bilyeu. If you’re not aware of who he is, stop reading and head over to Impact Theory. His vlog/podcast/show is absolutely phenomenal and you can’t NOT get FIRED UP when you watch it. I was SO pumped to be able to see him live. It’s hard to see how much passion shines through, just from the few short video clips I got, but he is even more

He talked about “Extreme Ownership” and the idea that your life is an exact reflection of the choices you make. The only belief that really matters is that you can learn anything.

When you’re faced with issues you can b*tch about it, or you can deal with the world (and your problems) the way that it is, not the way you want it to be.

If you’ve been in real estate for a few weeks, a few years, or a few decades, there’s a high probability you’ve heard the word “disruptor” when referring to many of the new companies [and industries] that are entering the real estate marketplace.

The other thing he focused on was success. What you’re struggling for isn’t money, fame, or recognition. Success is simply neurochemistry. Success is how you feel about yourself, when you are by yourself. Let that one sink in.

Tom Ferry Success Summit 2019 in Anaheim, California – Your Real Estate Farm

August 25, 2019August 20, 2019 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

I remember when I first started in Real Estate, someone asked me if I had a farm. I had absolutely NO idea what they were talking about, so I smiled said yes, then prayed they didn’t ask me for more details.

What I later learned was that a “farm” refers to a geographic area in which you cultivate and grow (haha) business by being “top of mind”. What that used to mean would be door knocking, handing out flyers, and sending out mailers. And, while those things are still done today, it’s now also a task that leverages technology.

I was fortunate to attend a jam-packed panel with Andy Tse, Glennda Baker, and Mary Maloney, three top agents from across the country.

When you’re building a farm… stay tuned in to the following things:

Budget – Keep marketing spend low at first. Be cautious of spend & return. Ideally, start with a budget and decide what you’re willing to invest.
Strategy – Don’t always do what everyone else is doing.
It’s ALL Numbers – Understand your numbers (how many homes and sales there are and have them broken down by price points) and addressable market (is there a dominant agent?)
Frequency – You should touch 2x – 3x per month at first.
Get involved – How can you get more involved in the community?
Knowledge – Know the sales, the off market homes, what’s hit the market… and how that would impact your clients buying & selling in the market. Know the schools, parks, good streets, bad streets, who lives where… know it all!

Then… once you’ve got a farm, what do you do?

Mega-Open Houses – You also need ALL the signs.
Mailers – Build a story.
Annual Success Piece – Let’s brag a little!
Market Updates – Show off your knowledge.
Culture – Help people understand who you are.

This is just a small portion to help you get started with your farm. For a full look at Day 3 at the Success Summit, check out our YouTube page.

Tom Ferry Success Summit 2019 in Anaheim, California – Negotiation Strategies – Chris Voss

August 24, 2019August 20, 2019 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

Negotiation Strategies – Chris Voss

We were fortunate to hear Chris Voss speak. He is currently CEO & Founder of the Black Swan Group, but he was a former FBI Hostage Negotiator. When approaching a negotiation, always think about what it is to the other side.

Most people know that a first impression is formed in the first SEVEN seconds of meeting someone new. You have a very short window of time to establish trust & confidence. In real estate, trust = predictability. What can you do to make your client’s experience more predictable? Think how you can better explain how the transaction works by being proactive rather than reactive.

He also discussed how you should embrace awkwardness. If you aren’t feeling awkward when you’re learning something, you’re moving at too slow of a pace. It takes 63-64 reps to make a habit, so hang in there through the awkwardness.

Tom Ferry Success Summit 2019 in Anaheim, California – Positioning

August 23, 2019August 20, 2019 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

Positioning – Tom Ferry

Positioning is basically why someone chooses you over someone else? Four of Five people search for their Real Estate agent on Google. Customers value benefits over features. How can you appeal to their emotions, logic, and psychology. What can you do to better position yourself in the market? A few ideas:

Make a unique offer, a promise, or a claim.
Totally dominate a niche – What type of transaction are you known for? You do not make a fortune being a generalist.
Clearly articulate who you are for, and therefore, who are you & your services are not for. You can’t meet the needs of everyone.
Create a story brand.
Create an “only” statement, or be the “first to market”
