If you show them that you’re the closest to them getting that check, there’s all the chance in the world that they’ll go with you. -Dean Jackson Takeaways + Tactics In every market, there’s a kind of home that’s most desirable at the top end of the market. Knowing what that is goes a long way. It’s way more valuable for you to know the people that have an immediate need for your service than for a wider pool to know who they are.

Dean also talked about how direct response can give you a secret inventory of potential sellers and the reality of what people are really looking for. We also discussed: How agents can use systems, leverage and other people to create a great life The power of targeting The difference between direct response and other forms of marketing When most people think of marketing they think of personal promotion, creating top of mind awareness and getting their name out there. Direct response is not about getting your name out to everyone. It is designed to get the people who actually need what you’re offering. Direct response allows you to be a “market maker” and it makes your marketing even more effective. No matter how good another agent’s listing presentation is, how established they are as the expert, or how good their marketing is, if you can bring a prospect closer to a transaction, you can win their business.
