🎙️ Episode 56: Why Spouses Are Raving About Socially Sold

from More Than Real Estate · host Ashley Walker

🎙️ Episode 56: More Than Real Estate Podcast — Why Spouses Are Raving About Socially SoldWhen Ruthie came to her husband James with a course she'd found on Instagram, his honest first reaction was: this sounds like an internet scam. Two years later, roughly 70% of her real estate business comes through that one channel. In this conversation, James walks through the exact business-case math that turned a "too good to be true" pitch into the best bet their family made.✨ The one-house math — James and Ruthie didn't run the numbers on hope. They ran them on a floor: if she closed a single house through Instagram on top of everything else, the course had already paid for itself. That single proposition was enough to make the risk worth taking.✨ 70% from one channel — James doesn't hedge it: "70% of a business or more comes from Instagram." And it compounds — those clients refer the next ones, so a single first contact turns into deals one and two degrees removed from the original post.✨ Bigger deals, not just more deals — The return wasn't only volume. Ruthie's average deal size climbed, doubling in a handful of cases. Socially Sold didn't just widen the pipeline, it raised the price point flowing through it.✨ You can't argue with the math — James runs his own YouTube and Instagram, so he knows real engagement when he sees it. His verdict after watching it play out: "You can't argue with the math." The proof is in the production, the referrals, and the bigger closings.✨ Pennies on the dollar — Ashley reframes the price tag against what it replaces: corporations spend tens of thousands flying employees to conferences for a single day. Socially Sold runs a fraction of one commission — half, sometimes a quarter — for eight weeks plus an ongoing community.James McGrath is the husband of Socially Sold student Ruthie Baker, a Lakeville, Minnesota realtor who joined the program in 2024. He runs his own YouTube channel and brings a sharp, skeptical business eye to evaluating whether a program actually delivers.🎓 Wondering if the math would work for your business the way it worked for Ruthie's?
