Social Selling Made Simple Marki Lemons

If you ask most real estate agents what takes up most of their time, and burns them out the most, it’s top-of-funnel marketing activities. But in order to close more deals, our effort actually needs to be dedicated to those final push bottom-of-funnel activities. 
 
Generating hundreds of leads and turning them into conversations can be a real drain on agents. But those time-consuming, draining and repetitive tasks are actually where AI shines, and the great thing is, it will never get tired of it. By taking those tasks off our plates, we can double our productivity and increase our income. 
 
How can we put AI into our lead generation process for more productivity? Can AI help us convert at a higher level? In this episode, I’m joined by Director of Sales and Operations at RAIA, Lee Dickson. He shares how their bot can streamline and skyrocket our marketing. 

 
80% of top of the funnel conversations can be done with AI without missing a beat. -Lee Dickson
 
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 
 
-Apply AI to the low hanging fruit
As agents, a lot of our time and energy goes to top of the funnel tasks. Can AI cut our work in half or even cut it out completely? 
 
-Unique ways to leverage RAIA 
AI tools like ChatGPT have a wealth of information, but that can be overwhelming for consumers. How can you make the process more clear cut and decisive? 
 
-Additive AI vs. dynamic AI 
AI can either make what we’re doing marginally better or completely transform our processes. How do we make sure it’s the latter?

When most people use AI assistants like ChatGPT, they type in a prompt and expect the perfect results without giving it any more info. They don’t take the time to have a fluid conversation or let the tool get to know them. No wonder they hate the results they get!
 
Expecting your AI to just know what to produce is like hiring a new team member and giving them zero training. It’s like expecting a recipe to be perfect without any seasoning. In order to get the results we want from AI, we have to train them on our voice, who we are and what’s different about our brands. It’s as simple as letting AI learn our VOICE.
 
How do we engage with AI so that it’s trained on our voice and our data set? What can Whitney Houston songs teach us about leveraging AI?
 
In this episode, I’m joined by digital growth strategist and AI aficionado, Molly Mahoney. She shares all the exciting ways we can use AI…after we season it right.
 
The number one thing you have to keep in mind is dancing with AI. You need to give enough information by having a fluid conversation with these tools. -Molly Mahoney

-Amplify your AI expertise 
Knowing how to use AI doesn’t just elevate things inside your business. How can it get you on more stages, help you launch new products, and up what you earn? 
 
-The killer combination in AI proficiency 
Why do we have to marry the logic and efficiency of AI with the empathy, creativity and language of human beings? 
 
-What you can do with AI right now 
With AI, it’s important to remember that it gets better and capable of more every single day. From personalized chat-bots to AI generated videos of us, what are the possibilities?
