Welcome back to our special interview series where we go deep into the systems and strategies that allow you to earn more and work less.
We cover excerpts from my Guide To Your Success, such as the 7 Key Communication Skills. A broker once paid me $35,000 for this guide, which is basically a manual of the systems I developed for myself and agents I hired to join my team.
In this special interview, I cover three key things:
Unorthodox ways to follow up with potential clients – including my scripts and gift-giving strategies
How a simple change in your mindset from “prospecting” to “conversations” can yield you radically different results in your lead conversion
How I can operate my business on as little as 2 new leads per month
