As many of you know, I run another business mailing cold letters for seller lead generation.

It’s called Klesitz Direct. www.klesitzdirect.com

It’s how my wife and I bought over 200 single family rentals from 2019-2023. For every 1,000 we mailed we got 10 calls and 3-4 solid leads at a customer acquisition cost of $1-2k per deal. www.KatyAndFrank.com

My thoughts on ROI

I spoke with a past client last week who lost touch with his database and was considering hiring us back.

“I think I was looking at Vyral wrong”, he said. “I want more time with my family and the hustle culture grind has lost its allure at 43 for me.”

I think we can all say you’ll get the highest ROI in your business if it’s just you….on the phone all day.

Sometimes with 2 or 3 headsets!

The price is free. The cost is exhaustion.

You're invited to come on down for a 1-day marketing audit! We’ll throw your existing marketing up on the screen and make it better, together.

It’s live all day on June 10th in Phoenix.

Here are the details: stayrelevant.eventbrite.com

It’s been 17 years this month writing marketing messages for a living, and I’d like to apply that expertise for you in a small group setting.

I've also invited some of the very best marketers I know to share their insight as well. Their names are on the registration page.

Yes, it's mostly real estate team owners attending who want buyer/seller and agent recruiting appointments, but the principles of direct response we'll cover apply to everyone.

I just completed this interview with Michael Perna, one of the top-selling agent team owners in Detroit.

You can watch it here.

It’s not every day you get to talk to someone selling that number of houses.

He’s been a client of ours for nearly 15 years. Michael sets up a system, hands off the responsibility to someone, and lets them run it.

I had a lengthy call with a friend in the real estate business yesterday.

“What’s the first thing I should do to drum up some new business, Frank. Money and time are tight. What’s your recommendation?”

“Send a reconnect email to your database,” I replied. “I can get it done in about an hour”.

This is where we start all new Vyral clients, and it’s incredibly fast, effective, and inexpensive.

A true story about leverage

A client just wrote me this today...

"Not sure if Bridgette mentioned it, last week we got a 1.1M buyer under contract - on the site for a year AND a 2 year old lead under contract at 3.3. I have an associate that communicates with the leads, leaving me mostly in this marketing and behind the scenes."

She came to us a few years ago, extremely tired of the daily grind of real estate.

"Is there any way to make this easier instead of me being chained to the phone all day, or building a traditional sales team?"

"Of course", I responded. "Let's run the Vyral Marketing System."

Featured Work: Macarena Rose

Look at what we built for her >

Macarena needed a better way to stay in touch with her database of past clients, sphere, and lead nurture in her CRM to increase her sales.

Many of her clients are from out of town (she’s in Belize!) so it was very important for her to use video. This way people get to know her online before taking a call offline.

We first built her an education-based video blog to communicate her value proposition, position her as the expert, and generate leads with offers for immediate response.

Then, she sends out two helpful videos and one lead magnet a month to spike response. This is her optimized 36-touch database marketing plan. 

We do all the work for her - she just shows up to her video shoot and we handle it all from there. This way her content gets out with minimal time and effort on her end. We take responsibility for the whole process.

The results? More conversations with the right people that lead to more sales. And when she reaches out to ask for appointments, more people already know who she is. It makes selling easier.

Off-market VIP buyer list message

Well, the verdict is in for our real estate agent clients - coming soon listings and off-market lead-generation are here to stay. I'm sure you've read the news...

In April, in addition to your two helpful longer-form Q&A or story videos, I would like you to send out a lead magnet inviting people to join your VIP Home Buyer List. This way, buyers can sign up to access inventory they can't see online. This is the hottest real estate message right now.

Then, simply call and verify their intent and ability to close (this is what separates a principal buyer from a wholesaler). Now, you ethically have a list of motivated, sincere, and legitimate buyers you can use to close deals and even generate listings with an "I may have a buyer for your home" message.

Here's what the landing page looks like.....

 Matt generated 61 motivated buyer opt-ins from this very lead magnet. This likely resulted in 18 appointments and 6 closed deals. 

Matt Oneal VIP Homebuyer list results

We have the email, social media post, and the 1-minute video retargeting ad script ready to go. Talk to your coach here to get it out, or request a free lead magnet if you're not a client - either way, we take full responsibility to get it out without much work from you.

This is also an excellent message for your lender to send out if you have a strong relationship with them - "Hey, I have this agent who has access to off-market listings before you see them online, make sure you're not missing out - go get on their VIP list and call me when you need financing to buy".

If you're not in a mortgage JV or your lender isn't participating financially in your Vyral Marketing expense, let me know. I have guidance for you.

It's even a great message for your agents to post on their social media and just ask for a DM. Bring them to your next video shoot. We'll help them record their video and edit it: www.getvyral.com/teams

And I know you know this. Now, more than ever, profitability is about staying in touch with your existing database of past clients, sphere, and lead nurtures while using non-AI "slop" to better convert the leads coming in from PPC (or whatever lead source you're using). I'm in too many masterminds where team owners danced with the devil on third-party referrals and realized - after all the costs - it's not profitable.

We're going to talk all about this on June 10th at my Stay Relevant Marketing Audit Workshop: https://StayRelevant.EventBrite.com. If you're interested in coming down and would like a free ticket code, email me. Metrix Masterminds is the very next day, and I may be able to get you a guest ticket to that, too (I'll be there). 

What consumers want from their real estate agent (or any professional service provider) is changing, and I'll make sure you're on the razor's edge of communicating it more effectively than your competitors.

Have a great week,

June 10th workshop in Phoenix

If you'd like more guidance on your marketing to make it more effective, I invite you to come down to Scottsdale on June 10th to spend a day with me.

It’s an “audit day”. Bring your email drips, landing pages, Facebook ads, letters, and more. I'll throw them up on the screen, compare them to what's working now, and improve them.

Here are the details: https://stayrelevant.eventbrite.com

You can use the code “metrix” for a free ticket.

You’re invited to stick around for their mastermind the next day. They have given us complementary space, so the cost is minimal; therefore, it is free.

We have room for about 40 people.

I’ll show you what's working for our clients, too. Listing lead generation, agent attraction, new coaching sales, property management door building, and even off-market investment deals.

We'll cover lead generation in the morning and then lead conversion/database nurturing (Vyral Marketing) in the afternoon. I'm reaching out to my network too to invite some of the best marketers I know to join us. You'll see them on the guest speaker list.

So come on down and let’s really dial in your marketing efforts. It's been 16 years now in the real estate space. I know how to make it better, modeling what’s working behind the scenes for clients. And it's free - clients and non-clients are welcome. 

I'm going to leave the masterminds this year up to Metrix (they do a great job) while I want to do what I'm good at - helping you with your marketing systems and messaging so you consistently put more appointments on your calendar.

Steve Lamothe's Top 3 Seller Lead Magnets for Listing Appointments

Frank Klesitz
By Frank Klesitz in Client Success on Mar 7, 2026

[fa icon="comment"] 0 Comments


Steve Lamothe is the #1 individual listing agent in the Sacramento region, and he's built a marketing system that makes it easy for homeowners to raise their hand before they ever call another agent. In this interview, Steve breaks down the three lead magnets he's using to generate listing conversations right now, without sounding salesy: a prep-for-sale plan that helps sellers move faster with less hassle, a buy-before-you-sell solution that removes the contingency stress, and a certainty-first option that can produce multiple offers after one visit. Steve is a client and works with us to consistently market these offers to his existing database of past clients, sphere, and lead nurtures through two educational videos a month plus a monthly email that drives responses from people who already know, like, and trust him.
