The follow-up is where the fortune is — but not for the reason you think. (08.07.26)

The follow-up is where the fortune is — but not for the reason you think.We all know we’re supposed to follow up. But sometimes we hesitate because we don’t want to bother people, seem pushy, or feel like we’re chasing business.This morning we talked about reframing that completely:There’s a difference between chasing someone and caring for someone.Silence isn’t always rejection. People are busy. Life happens. Priorities shift. And the person who isn’t ready today may absolutely need you six months from now.Gary Keller’s The Millionaire Real Estate Agent teaches the importance of systematic, consistent contact through models like the 33 Touch.Larry Kendall’s Ninja Selling reinforces the same fundamental idea from a relationship-first perspective: stay in flow with people, ask good questions, listen, provide value, and be present.And now we have technology and AI that can make all of that easier.Let your CRM remind you who to call.Let AI help you organize your database.Let technology help you remember the details.But don’t automate the humanity out of the relationship.Because technology can remind you to reach out — but it can’t replace the feeling someone gets when they realize:“They remembered me.”Today’s challenge:Before noon, follow up with FIVE people you’ve been meaning to contact.Don’t lead with real estate.Lead with the relationship.Be curious. Remember something. Ask a question. Reconnect.Because maybe the fortune isn’t just the transaction.Maybe the fortune is the relationship that eventually creates the transaction.Stay connected. Stay valuable. Stay human. ❤️📞 Join us live on The 6 AM Call: 518-418-1611#6AMCall #BadAssCoaching #RealEstate #FollowUp #Relationships
