    #347 Raving Fans, Relationships & Raising the Standard with Troy Malcolm

    In this episode, we sit down with Troy Malcolm to break down the difference between being good… and being exceptional. Troy shares why relationships sit at the heart of everything — and how building just 100 “raving fans” (a concept inspired by John McGrath) can completely transform your business. From same-day feedback after viewings to high-level marketing using video and drone content, this is a masterclass in the small details that create big results. We also dive into Troy’s journey — from aspiring rugby league player to leading multiple offices — and the lessons he’s taken from mentors like Tom Panos along the way. There’s a real focus on discipline, daily habits, and what it takes to sustain excellence over time. Inside the episode: * The real difference between average and elite agents * How to create clients who become lifelong advocates * Why consistency beats intensity in building a reputation * The power of role play, feedback, and getting comfortable being uncomfortable * How to lead modern teams by understanding individual goals — not just numbers We also explore the Australian “pod” model, team structures, and what UK agents can learn from a more relationship-led, client-first approach. If you want to build a business rooted in trust, loyalty, and long-term growth — this is one to listen to. 🔊 This episode is sponsored by Iceberg Digital – Revolutionising the estate agency industry through automation, innovation, and world-class marketing. https://iceberg-digital.co.uk/ Purchase our book at: https://worldclassrealestate.agentresponse.store/

    #345 Kirsty Franks: Estate Agency Marketing Unfiltered For 60mins

    In this episode, we’re joined by marketing strategist Kirsty Franks for a powerful conversation on what world-class real estate marketing really looks like in today’s market. Kirsty breaks down why so many agents fall into the trap of reactive, inconsistent marketing — and how a clear strategy, defined audience, and relentless consistency are what truly set top performers apart. From personal branding to postcode targeting, this is about building a presence that keeps you front of mind when it matters most. We go deep on what Kirsty believes is the highest ROI channel in estate agency right now — email marketing — and how agents can unlock its full potential through segmentation, automation, and authentic, personalised messaging. No generic content. No shortcuts. Just smart, database-driven communication that converts. We also explore how marketing has evolved — from AI search and Google visibility to integrating digital and print — and why tracking your data properly (from UTM links to CRM attribution) is no longer optional if you want to scale. Alongside the strategy, there’s a brilliant conversation around the growing visibility of women in estate agency, the impact of the WIEA conference, and why community, collaboration, and long-term thinking are shaping the future of the industry. If you want to move from random acts of marketing to a clear, measurable, long-term strategy that actually delivers results — this episode is essential listening. 🔊 This episode is sponsored by Iceberg Digital – Revolutionising the estate agency industry through automation, innovation, and world-class marketing. https://iceberg-digital.co.uk/ Purchase our book at: https://worldclassrealestate.agentresponse.store/

    #343 Chris Ellis: Showing up everyday and no more negative news!

    What does it really mean to show up — not just in your business, but in your life? In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode, we sit down with Chris Ellis, a highly experienced estate agent and owner of Homes, to talk about consistency, mindset, and cutting through the noise of negativity that surrounds both the industry and everyday life. Chris shares the story behind his commitment to posting daily videos — a conscious decision to move away from the constant stream of negative news and instead bring positivity, authenticity, and real-life perspective to estate agency. But this isn’t just about content — it’s about discipline, self-awareness, and choosing how you show up each day. We go deep into what world-class estate agency actually looks like, from doing the basics brilliantly — “do what you say you’re going to do” — to truly protecting clients and having the honest conversations many agents avoid. There’s also a proper discussion around fall-throughs, reservation agreements, and the realities of running a modern agency. Alongside the business chat, this episode leans heavily into personal development. Chris opens up about mindset, the pressure of leadership, and the importance of being authentic — not just online, but in real life too. If you’re looking for an episode that will challenge your thinking, lift your energy, and remind you why showing up matters, this one’s for you. 🎧 Expect honesty, practical insight, and a serious dose of motivation to help you become a better agent — and a better version of yourself. 🎧 Tune in if you want to feel inspired, refocused, and ready to show up better every single day. 🔊 This episode is sponsored by Iceberg Digital – Revolutionising the estate agency industry through automation, innovation, and world-class marketing. https://iceberg-digital.co.uk/ Purchase our book at: https://worldclassrealestate.agentresponse.store/
