    How to Persuade Your Instagram and Prospects Effectively - Paul Ross

    Todays guest is steven ross an expert in persuasion.  Persuasion is one of my favorite topics because everyday in multiple ways we play persuasion games.  According to game theory everything we do is an act of persuasion---we do this at work, at home, with our kids and with our partners.  For most of us---trying to get another to see the world as we see it is the most important thing and that is never truer than in business.  Whether its on our instagram or on facebook we are trying to persuade others to see the world as we see it or the way we want them to see it.  I would make the argument that persuasion is the single most effective thing we can learn to master in order to shape our lives in a way that we are ultimately happy. Persuasion starts with our body---our facial expressions extends to our tonality and pace of speech and ends with the content we are delivering.  Often we get into sales pitches and deliver our pitch perfectly only to walk away with a blank contract-------why?  Effective persuasion is part psychology, part sociology and to be effective we need to understand both game theory and be able to be an illusionist knowing what to reveal and when.  Today I have Steven Ross on the show and if you havent heard our first interview a few years ago I would encourage you to go back and find the episode I think its number 276 we get into doublespeak and subtle words can effectively put people into a more receiving state---we also talk about how to use the power of touch.

    DOJ Against the Nations Realtors and What That Could Mean For You - Grant Clayton

    Whether its from government intervention or tech innovation the way realtors have typically made a living are about to change.   Some of the changes that have been proposed are small and relatively unimportant.  A rule that was enacted across the board was that buyers agents could no longer advertise that there services were "free" and that agents could no longer "not" show a property due to the low co-op fee.  Those seem pretty reasonable and were enacted by most MLS's across the nation. At the heart of the REX initiated DOJ antitrust lawsuit that seems to be most confusing is that they are arguing that buyers should pay for their own agents services and the seller should pay for their agent.  This may benefit a company like REX but, it seems like it would create a larger barrier to first time homebuyers and stifle the overall market.  Today we discuss.

    Using Predictive Analytics to Find Sellers - Brad McDaneil

    One thing that has really improved in this industry is technology--technology used to be your CRM now its the ability to send targeted ads to age groups, specific geography or category.   One thing that is going to get better and better is predictive analytics.  All kinds of companies are developing new predictive models.  If companies better predict buying or selling behavior we can get in front of the seller sooner.    Its going to be a while before these things really get sorted out so Im not worried about this in the short term.  I do see a few threats on the horizon and some of these you probably should be aware of.   First--are you familiar with the lawsuit between redfin and the DOJ?  Redfin was suing for more transparency around buyer broker commissions.  Redfin wants to fundamentally remove the ability for buyers agents to work for a buyer and get paid by the seller.  They want buyers to pay their agents directly.  That means that when you take on a new buyer you will have to negotiate your own buyers agent fee upfront.  No more will you help a buyer find a house and get paid by the seller at closings.     While this sort of transparency is always good it will undoubtedly effect commissions in many markets.  Here in San Diego where the average price is 850,000 dollars a buy side commission is roughly 25,000 dollars.  I think a lot of buyers are going to experience sticker shock.  We will have to see what this ends up looking like over the next 18 months but, I think this is a call to action whereby agents particularly ones focusing on buyers that they up their game.  You going to have to up your game and really get clear on what value you add to a transaction.     I might do an episode on that----hit me on twitter if that sounds interesting my handle is @superagentslive
