Clients - 

A quick update for you on our new calling assistant add-on program.

We've found we get the best results when we call your past clients 4x a year; rounded out with any high-quality leads or sphere contacts added to it.

Here it is: www.getvyral.com/appointments

We charge $10 per name per year to ensure they all receive a high-quality message from your company via phone, email, voicemail, and text, including an offer for response, roughly every 90 days.

For example, 300 high-quality names would cost $3,000. We'll schedule the 4 times a year upfront with your approved messages. Then, it's set it and forget it. 

We'll add the dates to your calendar with an all-day Google meeting request invite and ask for messaging tweaks a few days before we start.

We've learned the best way to call/text is to use iPhones on an Ultimate Unlimited plan, set up here in America, and then shipped internationally for your calling assistant. I'm meeting with your call team in person in early November, and then we'll have all systems go to do this correctly at the highest level.

I also want you to speak with your calling assistant on the phone before buying, so you're 100% confident in their phone skills and English. They will call you and introduce themselves. Please call them back and have a brief conversation before pulling the trigger; I want you to have full peace of mind with these calls.

So that's the plan - stay tuned. I'm retooling the team for this model and to use their new iPhones

I wanted to share a webinar recording from yesterday with Nick Krautter, the author of The Golden Handoff.

It's about how to build your database by buying past client relationships from agent peers who are open to a passive income exit strategy through a referral fee selling-financing arrangement.

It's a strong strategy to build your database without any upfront cost or risk. The full replay is on the post above without any opt-in.

Once you execute it and the retiring agent introduces you, just send their database over to us and we'll put them on your marketing plan.

Enjoy!

I'll be at eXpCon in Miami next week. If you're in town, let me know.

I'm down in San Diego this week, getting ready for our mastermind event Oct 2-3.

On the drive out, I spoke with a new client on the phone who hired us to help him double his home sales. He’s selling 25 homes a year – and wants to sell fifty homes a year.

It takes him three appointments to get a closed deal, so he needs to go on 150 appointments a year (roughly three a week) with someone who is open to hiring him as their Realtor.

We set up three pillars to reach this goal…

1. Past Clients / Sphere – Everyone who knows him is going to get 2 videos and 1 lead-generation message a month by email, social media, and retargeting (including a postcard to his top contacts). This is in addition to the home value drips from his CRM. This is what that looks like with us. His assistant will call everyone on the list to offer a moving strategy call with him 2x/year. 

2. Online Buyer Leads – He spends $2,000 a month on PPC buyer leads with the help of a lender. To get these strangers to take an appointment with him after they opt in, he’s going to send them 10 hyper-relevant videos to warm them up. An assistant will then call to offer a home-buying strategy call. We're going to help him make the videos at no extra charge.

3. Targeted Zip Codes – He’s going to target downsizers in 4%+ turnover zip codes who have lived there for 15+ years to invite them to a home-selling workshop. He will teach one class a month for each zip code at a local library (also livestreamed on Zoom). An assistant will make the invites, along with YouTube ads targeting homeowners and cold emails from Eventbrite. We will shoot and edit the ad for him.

The key is that our client agreed to delegate the one-to-one appointment setting work and use his newly freed-up time to communicate one-to-many. This way, a calling assistant can handle offering and scheduling meetings, since they are reaching out to people who know him.

So there you have it - a plan to book three appointments a week. He loved the simplicity of it because he told me he can’t make any more calls himself (and he’s in the financial position to buy back some time). It’s now just a matter of removing distractions and executing it every day...and growing as a better teacher and manager.

We agreed to share the risk that he will set at least six additional appointments in the next 90 days as we build the systems out. If all goes to plan, I’ll post an interview with him and his results after a year on this page.

Our real estate agent clients have been sending out a call to action this month to join their VIP Buyer List. See the September topics here: www.getvyral.com/topics

It's working really well given the uptick in buyer interest.

The premise is simple - if you register for free (we provide the landing page), you'll be among the first to know about upcoming listings and inventory not yet on Zillow.

When the buyer registers, you then call them back to assess their motivation, review their Buy Box, obtain proof of funds, and request a light buyer's agency agreement.

Now you can confidently say, "I may have a buyer for your home, please call me to see what they will pay you" in targeted seller lead-generation marketing.

(That is the #1 seller lead-generation message of all time)
