    Ep193: Finding Buyers Action Plan

    Today's Listing Agent Lifestyle Podcast episode is the fourth in a series of Clubhouse rooms we're recording, exploring the five essential pillars for success. We're looking at Finding Buyers and discussing valuable strategies to effectively set up your business as a well-oiled vending machine - attracting the exact clients you want by emphasising and selecting a single target market to dominate. We'll also take a look at the amazing results from our case study with Tony Kalsi & his 11x ROI and the leads he's still getting from people who opted in years ago. We wrap up talking about the strategies and tactics to grow your business by focusing on what buyers are looking for.   Summary: Creating a business model akin to a vending machine can drive specific clients you want, emphasizing the need to focus on one target market at a time. Becoming a market maker involves controlling the process from start to finish, and being strategic, efficient, and result-oriented. The real estate market can be dominated by narrowing your target audience and positioning yourself as the go-to expert in a specific field. Innovative tactics like lifestyle videos, virtual tours, and professional photography can give you an edge when listing a property. Lead generation has transformative power, with potential returns if you invest in a bundle of 100 leads. Digital postcards, videos, and other creative tools can provide potential clients valuable information about your expertise. The success story of Tony Kalsi's 'Getting Listings' case study demonstrates an impressive return on investment from initial seed investment. Focusing on a single target market can maximise results with minimum effort, as exemplified in the 'Setting Up a Vending Machine Business' chapter. Controlling the buyers by creating a system gives you an advantage when listing a property. The importance of strategies, tactics, and tools in growing your business exponentially is emphasized to achieve unparalleled success.   Links: Show Notes GoGoAgent.com Be a Guest Listing Agent Lifestyle Book Listing Agent Scorecard

    Today on the Listing Agent Lifestyle Podcast, we're finishing our conversation with Jesse Desjardins. He's worked in some great locations, and we talk about the challenge of marketing a complex destination like Neom in Saudi Arabia, a place no one has ever seen before. We also talk about the skill of discernment and invention, the importance of working with someone with the tenacity to drive projects to completion, and how to effectively select and work with the right people to execute our vision. Jesse & I have a long history together, and it's great to share these insights with you, and, if you missed part 1, you can check that out at here. Summary 1. The challenge of marketing an unknown and complex destination like Neom in Saudi Arabia required a unique approach and collaboration with the online photography platform Unsplash. 2. Unsplash, with its large community of free photography and more distribution than Getty, iStock, and Adobe Stock combined, provided the perfect platform to find the best photographers to showcase Neom. 3. The project involved bringing 14 of Unsplash's top photographers to Neom and creating a brief based on the thousand most downloaded photos in travel. 4. The brief focused on four distinct photography styles that convey the scale of the destination, safety, and human connection, deviating from traditional destination marketing strategies. 5. By working directly with photographers with the vision and capability to execute the project, the team created a more authentic and engaging story. 6. The photographers brought their unique skills and interpretations to the brief, resulting in a diverse and captivating image portfolio showcasing Neom's beauty. 7. The Entrepreneur Team Genius Test helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of individuals in a team, ensuring that all aspects of a project are covered and executed effectively. 8. Combining vision, assets, and reach creates a powerful multiplier effect that can help achieve success in marketing complex destinations. 9. The goal is to make Neom the most downloaded destination in travel even before it opens, leveraging the reach and distribution of Unsplash. 10. Collaborating with the right people and focusing on the vision and capability aspects of a project can lead to better outcomes and more creative solutions, even with a smaller team.
