Episode 888: Ditch The Cold Calls, Beg for Their Best Advice Instead

Salespeople have spent years blowing up phones with generic spam, making it nearly impossible to actually talk to a human being anymore. When you send a message saying you are "touching base," you are really just telling the client that you didn't bother to think of a reason to call them. It feels gross, it looks lazy, and it is exactly why your database is ignoring you. This episode breaks down the "Real Estate Advice" strategy, which is the first part of a seven-day series on how to stop being a nuisance and start giving people something they care about. The secret is simple: stop talking and start asking questions because people love hearing themselves speak. Sending a quick text asking for a few minutes of their time to get their opinion on the market, you flip the script entirely. You aren't forcing an update down their throat, you are playing chess by letting them be the authority. Once they start talking about the economy or the war or their own backyard, they eventually have to ask what you think. That is the moment they hand you the microphone, and suddenly, you aren't a telemarketer anymore, you are the expert they actually want to listen to. What to Expect: Why "checking in" is a fast track to the blocked list. The exact text that asks for seven minutes of their time. How to use curiosity to open doors that have been shut for years. The art of listening until they finally ask for your opinion. If you are tired of being the person everyone tries to avoid at dinner parties, hit subscribe. Tell me in the comments the last time a "touch base" text actually worked for you—I’ll wait.   #RealEstateLife #SalesTraining #RealEstateTips #ClientRetention #RealEstateGrowth #BusinessStrategy #RealEstateAdvice #RelationshipBuilding
