Here’s a marketing acid test to mull over… When you call, text, or chance upon your sphere-of-influence contacts, who brings up real estate? — is it you or them? Candidly, if your marketing activities are effectively positioning you as the agent-of-choice, the topic will typically arise on its own, w/o any prompting.
Many agents rely on clever scripts/dialogues to shift a conversation to real estate—but the thing is, if you’re regularly supplying your database contacts w/ valuable insights and information—you won’t have to. Every time you post on social, send an email, mail a postcard, or publish a video that delivers VALUE, in effect, you’re seeding your services.
