Cold calling?

There are many reasons people dislike it, but the biggest excuse I hear from everyone is.... Cold calling is dead.
Here are 3 reasons cold calling will never truly die.

1. You get to actually talk to someone. Hear their voice and they can hear yours. We all know those texts that get lost in an emotion that wasn't conveyed. Cold calling by passes that because of the tone of your voice.

2. It's easy to forget a text or an email, but when you give someone your time and energy in most cases I've realized that people respect that and tend to remember you.

3. Messages in most cases sound salesy. No matter the context they usually come off like oh this guy is trying to sell me something. Cold calling you can convey a message of I am here to help you. We are in this together.

Delegate: Assign tasks that others can handle efficiently.
Delay: Postpone tasks that aren't urgent or crucial.
Delete: Eliminate tasks that don't contribute significantly to your goals. Streamlining your to-do list helps focus on what truly matters.

2.Time Blocking for Efficiency:
Organize your day into blocks of time dedicated to specific activities, such as prospecting, client meetings, paperwork, and marketing. This structured approach minimizes multitasking and enhances focus, allowing you to accomplish more in less time.

Marketing isn't hard but it's hard to perfect.

There is so much competition out there in every business as well as every niche in those businesses.

Here are three ways you as a real estate expert can separate yourself from the pack in your day to day marketing efforts.

1.Personal Branding and Storytelling:
Develop a compelling personal brand that reflects their unique strengths, values, and expertise. Share their personal story through various channels, such as a professional website, social media, or even blog posts. People connect with stories, and a well-crafted narrative can make an agent more memorable and relatable.

2.High-Quality Visual Content:
Leverage the power of high-quality visual content, including professional photos and videos of properties, to showcase your listings. Use virtual tours, drone footage, and eye-catching images to make properties stand out. Additionally, feature the agent in some of the content to humanize the brand and build trust with potential clients.

3.Educational Content and Thought Leadership:
Establish yourself as an authority in the industry by creating and sharing educational content. This can include blog posts, videos, or webinars covering topics like market trends, home-buying tips, or investment strategies. Providing valuable information positions the yourself as a knowledgeable and trustworthy resource, attracting clients who appreciate expertise.

My two Cents:

Lets get straight to the point here.
Productivity and busy are not the same thing.

In my life and work I have found my self being extremely busy but not being productive. This is something I have worked and spent hours finding ways to help with this process.

Here are 2 tips that helped me differentiate the two:

1.Outcome-Focused vs. Activity-Focused:
Productive Task: It contributes directly to a specific goal or outcome. The completion of the task brings measurable progress toward achieving a larger objective.

Busy Work: It involves activity without significant impact or progress. Even if the task feels like work, it doesn't move the needle on your overall goals.

2.Strategic Importance:
Productive Task: It aligns with your strategic priorities and directly contributes to the success of your project, team, or business. It often involves critical thinking and decision-making.

Busy Work: It might feel urgent but lacks strategic importance. These tasks are often repetitive, don't require much thought, and don't contribute substantially to long-term objectives.

11/15/2023

The end of the day two cents from yours truly:

There are 2 ways to market.

Cold leads
Hot leads

That is it. The people either know you or they don't. Always remember it is easier to help people with their problems if they know you.

Start on the hot leads build your business then go into cold leads.

Cold leads are exactly that A cold and lonely world until you learn how to thrive in it. Once you have a track record you can use that leverage to convince the cold leads to even listen to you.

Marketing is key.
Here are two ways that we have chosen at IBCMarketing to spread the word and market our services. We feel like these have given us the most bang for our buck "TIME", but once again this is just my two cents.
1. Cold Calling - I hate that I love cold calling, but I have noticed that even though its called cold calling it is the warmest of cold out reach. Yeah you may be interrupting their day, but they can feel your emotions once the convo gets past first intro.
2. Cold DMS - LinkedIn has showed me how many messages I can send to the right prospects in the least amount of time with the greatest return on my time. It also gives you the chance to show them who you are through your posts and free information you put out there.
That's just my two cents. Let me know your thoughts and how you connect with your clients.

My two Cents:

Short story time. I woke up this morning after a long restless night. Not too sure why but it was one of those nights. As soon as I got out of bed I was already thinking...

Today is going to be a long day....

Then I looked into my daily planner and realized, it is going to be the same tasks I complete every day. The same length and the same possible issues.

Do yourself a favor and ORGANIZE YOUR DAY BEFORE YOUR DAY.

This has saved me from the sitting around waiting to figure out what needs to be done.

My Two Cents:
Everyone wants a weekend, most people actually do have them. If you are a business owner why not utilize everyday that ends with a Y?

We all wake up everyday and want something, why do we sit there on the weekends and not continually work for that thing?

What if someone told you working on a Saturday could increase your output by 14%, why would you not take that?

I know for a long time I didn't, but in all honesty I haven't earned my weekends yet. It's time to work people. Use the days you have to chase your goals.

11/09/2023

My two cents:

We all get lost in the automation of one of our tasks, but that will never take away the effectiveness of putting in the work to get to that point. There is no easy click button and win options. There will never be no matter what the people say.

Here are 3 ways I keep it personal with our Marketing:

1. Anyone who follows me knows this already .... Cold calling. I love it because they hear your voice. They know the kind of person you are. They know it's not a robot they are speaking to over the internet.

2. Effective emails: Yes these days it is simple to go out and pull a list of a million prospects to send cold emails to, but do yourself a favor make that list smaller. Do some research on them. The area and what problem you think they have that your product could solve. One good email is worth 50 non personal ones.

3. Automated cold dms. How many cold dms do all of you get that you look at and say " well that's great but I didn't ask". If you connect with someone start a conversation before you start slanging products at them they might not even need nor want.

Well thats just My Two Cents.
