How to be a Beast

John Tsai

I‘m John Tsai, and my passion is to help other realtors double, triple, quadruple their production and income. I have been in the real estate game the past 15 years (since 2005). I’ve done the realtor grind - the 18 hour work days, 7 days a week, door knocking, cold calling, you name it. Everything else around me was falling apart and I was exhausted to say the least. There had to be a more efficient way to leverage myself. By taking everything I have learned and experienced over the past 15 years, I am excited to share my tools to take other realtors to the next level - how to go beast mode. These Podcasts are audio versions of my YouTube videos where I interview other high performing realtors and ask them how they achieved next level success. I hope they leave you moved, touched and inspired to take massive action in your business. LET‘S GROW!!!

    How I Doubled My GCI Without Buying More Leads (149 Homes Sold as a Solo Agent)

    Watch the Youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42GM6QUcDvA    After selling 149 homes as a solo agent, I learned that doubling GCI comes from better execution, not buying more leads. If you think increasing income means spending more money on lead generation, this video will challenge that mindset. I explain why fundamentals matter more than hacks and how tightening your numbers creates leverage instead of burnout. You will learn how to prioritize the right conversations, qualify prospects more effectively, and improve your conversion ratios using the leads you already have. I also cover how your database, efficiency, and price point directly impact your GCI growth.
