    📞 LIVE CALL-INS: The 26-Touch Rule: How to Stay Top of Mind ALL YEAR

    If you feel invisible, you may not be touching your database enough.   On this live call-in episode of Stay Paid, we tackle three powerful business challenges: burnout from doing everything yourself, why listings aren't selling (hint: it's not your marketing), and how to stay top of mind in a competitive market.    From the "treadmill stage" of business to the hard pricing conversations most agents avoid, this episode breaks down practical strategies for leverage, buyer generation, and building referral momentum. If you want to grow without burning out, price listings properly, and create consistent touchpoints that drive referrals, this episode is packed with actionable advice.   🔑 Key takeaways: If you're burned out, you need leverage. It only comes from people or systems — and growth requires a leap of faith. Expect the hockey stick effect. Income may dip before it rises when you hire or implement systems. If listings aren't selling, check the price first. It's usually not a marketing problem — it's a pricing problem. Have harder conversations upfront. Pricing confidently saves months of stress later. Demand drives price. Price competitively to create traffic and momentum. Build a 26-touch cadence. Consistent communication beats random marketing. Top producers take action. They implement, adjust, and execute consistently.   ⁉️ Do YOU have a question you'd like us to answer on air?
