Quinn comes to you LIVE to discuss Zero Hour, apostrophes in restaurant names, and how Maple is celebrating MLK Jr Day

Ashley, Lauren, and Naz are back with a jam-packed ramble covering everything from awards season glam to holiday family antics. We kick things off with a Golden Globes recap—Naz shares some insider insight, and we share their favorite (and least favorite) looks. Plus, we play a little at-home detective to Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's appearance there. Naz and Lauren share their thoughts on Babygirl and Nosferatu—two very different, but equally buzzworthy, projects. Then, Ashley melts our hearts with the sweetest story about Dawson over the holidays, and we wrap things up with a hilarious recap of a chaotic Iaconetti family dinner at the absurdly named Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.Leave Us a Voicemail and tell us what you don't get!

Hour 2 keeps things rolling and Lee from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse joins the show! Him and Matt swap cooking tips before delving into conversation regarding the Packers Thursday night matchup with the Lions. Lee is shortly followed by Tausch who gives some perspective on where the Badgers are at on National Signing Day before discussing why he's confident in the Packers chances tomorrow. An incredibly abbreviated Throwing Stones wraps up the show!

Jim and Matt are LIVE from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Middleton and after talking some Badgers football get into quite the heated debate on which remaining game will decide the NFC North crown. This gives way to an even more fiery scuffle whether Jim is actually a Bears fan or just a Packers hater. Matt and Riley tend to lean towards the latter... Matt's valiant effort at Minute To Win It concludes the hour!

We live in fractured, divided times where sometimes even simple facts about basic reality are too much for folks to agree on. Partisan politics, social media and the internet serve to divide us and keep us apart. And experts tell us all the time that even though we're more digitially connected than ever, we're paradoxically more isolated and lonely. How do we address this complex challenge? On this edition of Out to Lunch, Stephanie is visiting with two community-engaged local entrepreneurs, one focused on bringing people together, the other on helping them heal. Sean Braswell is owner of Simple Joe Café, a mid-city diner that serves breakfast and lunch and has positioned itself since opening in 2015 as a community gathering spot. The kind of place where neighbors meet up for home-cooked meals or friends meet weekly for coffee, and just linger and visit in a warm friendly atmosphere. Sean began his professional career in the military, serving in the Marines and the Navy simultaneously, later went into sales and mortgage brokering, then nursing. Neither was the right fit. Along the way, he worked as a waiter and eventually worked his way up to head staff trainer at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse here in Baton Rouge. And that's when he realized that opening a restaurant might be the thing. In the years since it's opening, Simple Joe has regularly topped the lists of people's choice awards, like Best of 225. When he's not busy at the restaurant, Sean believes in volunteering and giving back to the community he loves so much.  Amanda Hargrove is Director and Chief Financial Officer of Hope Community Services, a mental health services agency that provides individual and family therapy, medication management, psychiatric support and treatment to children and adults. Hope primarily serves people in East Baton Rouge parish, though in the years since Covid it has branched out to offer telehealth services as well, which has enabled it to reach a broader service area. Amanda and her partner in Hope, Monica Parker, founded the agency in 2014.  Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown continue on from the remote setup at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Middleton. They re-visit the open of the show talking about Matt riding dirty on his dad Scott's lawnmower. Throwing Stones includes takes about waiting on contractors to show up to your house, Tom Brady's bullish promotion of the Packers and Aaron Rodgers, and why ribeyes are better than filets and Matt's meat arrogance! They also talk about tonight's debut broadcast of Wisconsin Badgers volleyball on 100.5 ESPN, as they take on Jesse Nelson's alma mater -- the Bradley Braves/Vampires. They wrap up today's remote broadcast with some fan suggestions on what to order at Ruth's Chris, and why Matt would get CRUSHED in volleyball by Devyn Robinson.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton and Molly Brown broadcast live from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Middleton. After running into some early technical issues, the crew pivots to some trash talk, and why it's smart to help out a neighbor in dire straits. Jim brings up today's question on Matt LaFleur following his criticism about the Packers' lack of "grit and effort" this past week versus the Broncos. After a history of early struggles in the regular season, are we confident that LaFleur will have the Packers ready for Week 1 in Brazil? Molly also brings up her concern about getting ready for another international game after the frustration in London two years ago. Lee Drapp, the owner of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, joins the show to talk about the special Badgers-inspired coach's room located at his restaurant, talk some shop about steaks with Matt, and his thoughts about Jordan Love, the Packers up-and-coming receiver corps and how the NFC North will shake out.

Jim Rutledge, Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown roll into Day 2 of Jordan Love's "hold-in" at Packers training camp. With the lingering possibility that Jordan Love might continue to sit out training camp until he gets paid, they ask fans if there's any chance for the Packers to have a winning record without Love this regular season. Matt also wants to know which side is holding up the contract negotiations, and Molly wants to know how a QB like Love can "win" in fans eyes if they ask for top dollar. Jim also tells the story of why he's in the studio today after originally planning to remotely host from University Ridge Golf Course. They also explain why they CANNOT have Daniel the Landscaper join their remote show at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. What Matt Missed features cuts from a former QB who still relishes in the pain of Bears fans, what rookie QB might end up having a better season than Caleb Williams, and which Team USA basketball player is throwing doubts on their "aging roster"?

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton start the show thanking their wonderful fans after Rob in Madison gifted them a personal locker full of gifts yesterday and they finally connected on a pizza lunch date with Dave in Deerfield. They ask fans if it would be more embarrassing for Matt to wear his Pizza Pocket hoodie or his personal Chef's outfit out to date night with wife Jen at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, and they also have some fun with a disturbing screen capture of Ben Brust leftover from KBN earlier today. Matt catches up on last week's news during What Matt Missed, including the NFL Draft prospect who doesn't believe in space, Lebron reaching 40k career points, Leo Chenal on R&H, and RG3 sounding off on some chicken s***. They play Tinder Time with some recently-cut free agents, asking fans which they'd most like the Packers to sign this offseason. They wrap up Hour 1 by confusing Primetime with old-timey references of Leave it to Beaver and Rutledge Wood.

Monday: The guys celebrate Matt's 75th birthday with awkward? messages from ESPN Madsion teammates like Jesse Nelson. Jim also rolls on his issues with the NBA All-Star game, All-Star games across the board in pro sports, and even pro athletes participating on the U.S. Olympic Team (0:00-15:10). Tuesday: Lee from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse joins in-studio, and he gets a first-person account from hungover Matt Hamilton's birthday night celebration with his grandma. Jim throws out that day's poll question, asking how Jordan Love's career will ultimately compare to his peers from the 2020 NFL Draft Class: Justin Herbert, Tua Tagovailoa, and Jalen Hurts (15:10-36:16). Jim gets annoyed with the "biased" poll results from Packers fans skewed toward Love, so he asks straight-up if Love will have a better career than even Joe Burrow (36:16-40:16). Wednesday: Molly Brown lives up to her surname, as she sits in embarrassment while explaining just how she got a "caramel-colored" stain on the backside of her white pants... (40:16-1:00:45) Matt also reaches back into the 75 years of brain power while trying to name as many of the 14 U.S. Presidents since the year 1949 (1:00:45-1:07:59). Tausch gets testy with his old Bears pal Jim Rutledge, and he gives his most annoying fans at sporting events along with his hopes/expectations for how the Packers will handle the 2024 NFL Draft (1:08:00-1:19:01). Thursday: Jim talks about an annoying guy giving tips to a pro female golfer, and the guys get into the worst types of unsolicited advice: backseat driving, sports technique tips, parenting tips, and cooking tips (1:19:01-1:38:51). Friday: Jim and Matt get into Rob Manfred's pants for his doubly-dumb decision to double down on the MLB's new translucent uniforms -- which aren't for the shrinkage-of-heart (1:38:51-1:50:21).

Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton begin the show following Matt's big birthday night out where he went a little too hard on the tequila shots. Lee from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Middleton sits in for the first two segments of the show, where Matt gives the story of his birthday celebration with his grandma at a local Mexican spot and he regales Lee with a Taco-Bell inspired gourmet dish of his own. Jim throws out today's poll question to Matt and Lee, asking which QB in the 2020 NFL Draft Class will end up with the Greatest career: Justin Herbert, Tua Tagovailoa, Jordan Love, or Jalen Hurts. What Matt Missed features out-of-context audio cuts about a WILD take on who should back up Aaron Rodgers in NY, an upset/embarrassed Adam Silver, and JJ Reddick going HARD in the paint after Doc Rivers on First Take. They wrap up with Jim's incredulous reaction to the poll results from Packers fans, so he takes it one step further by asking fans if they think Jordan Love will end up having a better career than even Joe Burrow.

The best of the Week in Rutledge and Hamilton: Jim defends his decision not to give ANY high fives to Packers fans at Lambeau field while talking with Chris Orr and Alex Strouf (00:00-18:20). Jim and Chris talk with Lee from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse as they give Jim some gruff for being a Bears fan during Tuesday's remote broadcast (18:20-30:39). Jim and Chris talk with Jim Polzin of the Wisconsin State Journal about the Badgers, the early departures in the transfer portal, and the odd NIL situation with Syracuse transfer LB Leon Lowery (30:39-45:12). Jim and Matt Hamilton talk whether Packers fans should raise their expectations after the team's win over Kansas City (45:12-58:44). Cross-talk with KBN feature Jim and Kyle Wallace butting heads about the Packers and Bears, and Ben asks if he was out of line for dissing Taylor Swift to his girlfriend (58:44-1:07:21). Primetime and Matt go after Jim for his appearance as a Badgers volleyball "expert" on Channel 3000 on Thursday morning (1:07:21-1:24:34).

Jim Rutledge and Chris Orr continue from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Middleton, and they poke some fun at Primetime Wollersheim back in the Everlight Solar studio by asking what he'd do if he were in Jim's situation when rival fans tried to high five him at a football game. The guys roll through Throwing Stones, and decide whether they'd be an MVP-caliber QB or an All-Star singer/songwriter. Jim Polzin of the Wisconsin State Journal joins Jim Rutledge and Chris Orr, who ask Jim his thoughts on all things Badgers football and the transfer portal, including Chimere Dike transferring, the strange NIL situation surrounding Leon Lowery's de-commitment, where UW fits in the changing CFB landscape and how Luke Fickell may approach the transfer portal this offseason and beyond. Jim and Chris finish up with some Metro Kia Breaking News, as they find out that freshman Gus Yalden is no longer travelling with the Badgers basketball program.

Jim Rutledge and Chris Orr broadcast live from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Middleton. They begin with an Iron Joc poll inspired by fan-of-show Rip in Rona: Should Jordan Love be in this season's MVP conversation? Chris continues to talk about the importance of constructing a full roster than just "finding the guy" at QB, as well as the proper approach for building a CFB program and approach to the transfer portal.

For 18 Thanksgiving seasons, it has been my honor to serve as an MC for a compassionate and joyful event, sponsored by the generosity Lana Duke and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in San Antonio. Each year, up to 100 children from the Roy Maas Youth Alternatives, a facility that provides comprehensive residential care and counseling services for children who have suffered from physical or emotional trauma, are treated to an unforgettable Thanksgiving meal. The theme for this year's event was, “Onward and upward!”  You see, at Roy Maas Youth Alternatives, children are taught to dream again!  One of those dreamers is a young man who entered Roy Maas at a young age, after being separated from his family. He shared his remarkable and inspirational story with the children at this year's event and I've asked that he share it with you.

There's a mouthful of memories in every family – especially if your family is in the food biz! On this week's show, we hear from New Orleanians whose parents and grandparents gave them a passion for food and a love for their community. We begin with writer and philanthropist Randy Fertel, whose 2011 memoir, The Gorilla Man and the Empress of Steak, tells the story of his larger-than-life parents. His mother, Ruth U. Fertel, founded Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, now a worldwide establishment, right here in the Crescent City. Then, we learn about New Orleans' famous muffuletta sandwich, which is said to have been invented at Central Grocery, the Italian deli established in the French Quarter in 1906. We bring you an oral history from NOLA Life Stories, in which third-generation owner Salvatore "Tommy" Tusa describes the evolution of this family business, as told to Mark Cave of the Historic New Orleans Collection. And finally, we get the story of Barrow's Catfish, which has been a cornerstone of the Hollygrove neighborhood since 1943. Deirdre Barrow Johnson and her husband, Kenneth discuss their family's legacy – one that began with a fried catfish sandwich sold from Deirdre's grandfather's barroom door.

We discuss social status as we observed various things this weekend at our school reunion and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

In every society on earth, for probably millions of years, humans have come up with communal methods of eating that reflect their particular human condition. In our world we've married eating with capitalism. We've devised a method of paying  other people to prepare meals for us in spaces we call restaurants. As our communities have gotten bigger and restaurants have proliferated, the competition among them has gotten more serious and – as it is when any market gets saturated with competitive choice -  prices come down to attract customers. Keeping a restaurant open requires more than just the ability to cook good food. For example, the biggest restaurant chains in the world, if you ask a food critic, have the worst food. In this kind of topsy-turvy business, what do you do to keep a restaurant profitable? Do you stick with quality and hope you find an appreciative market? Or do you turn to big data, AI and IT systems designed for the restaurant business? Stephanie Riegel puts this question to Gabe Piccoli, the Edward G. Schlieder Chair of Information Sciences and a member of the Cultural Computing group at the Center for Computation and Technology at LSU. Gabe has held tenured academic positions at Cornell, as well as universities in France and Italy. During his tenure at Cornell in the early 2000s, Gabe was on the faculty of the Hotel School, where he became interested in the hospitality industry. During his 25 year career, which started at LSU with a PhD in information systems, Gabe's work has focused on the value creation potential of new technology. His academic, teaching and consulting interest is in digital strategy and digital customer service systems. He watched and the studied the digital intermediation of the hotel industry in the 1990s and sees interesting parallels going on today in the Quick Service Restaurant industry – of which Baton Rouge not only has many but is actually home to popular chains like Raising Cane's.    Stephen Hightower is on the front line of Baton Rouge's hospitality industry. Stephen is Managing Partner of the City Group Hospitality Restaurant Group, which does not own QSRs but does own and operate 11 operations with 7 unique concepts, including City Pork, Beausoleil, City Slice Pints and Pizza, Proverbial Wine and Bistro, Rouj Creole and Hub and Spoke, as well as Turning Point Food Services, which runs the cafeteria at Catholic High School. Stephen is steeped in Baton Rouge hospitality know-how. He began his restaurant career at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Baton Rouge and worked his way up the ladder. After launching a couple of his own ventures, he hit on just the right concept for Baton Rouge in 2012 with the launch of City Pork. In the decade since, he has become one of the most successful restauranteurs in the city. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

Kicking it off with the Buzz Question about options to ease the pain at the pump. Police have arrested 24-year-old Amoni Joseph Riley in the shooting of another 24-year-old outside of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on February 28th. He's been charged with attempted homicide and the victim is recovering. The motive for the confrontation? A love triangle. A Russian politician and Putin advocate speculated on Russian state TV that the US should return Alaska as a reparation for the sanctions the US has leveed against the country for its invasion of Ukraine. San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin will face a recall election on June 7th and things aren't looking good. In a recent poll, 68% say they'll vote yes. 78% overall give him a poor job performance rating.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Danielle's in Panama, so today John Liston fills in with Taylor Medek, Hospitality Manager for Ruth's Chris Steakhouse to discuss the state of the restaurant industry after two years of Covid restrictions

After his hit NUDITY RIDER, OBIE winner Hamish Linklater returns for another helping of irresistible comedy: the world-premiere commission THANKSGIVING FOR ONE. Marjorie Mumms (Jean Smart) would rather not be eating her holiday turkey alone at the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. She can't get a decent gin & tonic, her daughter is spending Thanksgiving in another state, and her crazed waiter has cast her in a festive audio play. It might just be time to flip the table – and the script. With direction by Tony winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Paradise Blue, Your Blues Ain't Sweet Like Mine), THANKSGIVING FOR ONE unites actor-writer Linklater (“Legion,” “The Big Short,” The Public's Shakespeare in the Park) with Emmy winner Jean Smart (HBO's “Watchmen”, “Fargo,” “Frasier”). After the play, join host Claudia Catania for a behind-the-mic chat with the artists.

As fundraisers we need to always be practicing our story -- and refining our ability to tell a better story. We also need to remember that you can get a steak anywhere, but you go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for the sizzle. Add some sizzle to your steak. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/clark-at-major-gifts-fundraiser/message

What is Chutzpah? I think Guy Kawasaki described it best as “calling up tech support to report a bug on pirated software”. In a word, chutzpah is audacity, and I really want to explore how being skillfully audacious can transform a restaurant and a restaurateur into something more. In this episode, we're talking to Mason Harris, who wrote the book on audacity and how it can be systematized and weaponized to turbocharge our restaurants. TIME STAMPED SHOW NOTES [2:32] How the early days of email led to the philosophy of Chutzpah. [5:48] What exactly is chutzpah? “Audacity?” “Gumption”? Maybe…“Intestinal fortitude”? [7:03] A world view, a set of behaviors, and a skill set: It's all in how you implement it. [7:55] The Trifecta: Need, Pain, and Opportunity. [11:12] Service, training, staff, and food: How to be a trailblazer in the restaurant industry. [13:40] Messaging: the role of authenticity in trailblazing. [15:03] The power of clarity: why understanding the nature of your decisions matters. [20:00] The lens of intention: positioning yourself to make critical decisions. [22:55] Humility in action through the good times and the bad. [27:30] The Chutzpah Mentor: The story of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse [29:10] How to Return a Tire to Nordstrom: An Exceptional Tale of Chutzpah in Service [32:25] Remembering the value of your impact. To learn more about Mason Harris, visit https://www.thechutzpahguy.com/ FULL COMP is brought to you by Yelp for Restaurants: In July 2020, a few hundred employees formed Yelp for Restaurants. Our goal is to build tools that help restaurateurs do more with limited time.

Losing a close friend to suicide while in grade school presented Danielle Williams with problems bigger than she knew how to handle, leading to a heartbreaking habit of cutting. Years later, now a young mother, Danielle found herself in a physically and mentally abusive relationship which she barely escaped. Survival is often a bar of success, but that standard isn’t enough for Danielle whose achievements include supporting several business openings and leading her MassageLuxe location to a #1 franchise ranking.   About the Guest: Danielle Williams is the General Manager of MassageLuXe Ann Arbor. She, with the help of her amazing team, has grown their franchise to #1 in the country in less than a year. She has helped open multiple businesses in the Ann Arbor area, including Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Hyatt Place Ann Arbor and now MassageLuXe. She has a passion for networking and forming relationships with people from all walks of life. One of her greatest joys is being different from your typical boss. “I don’t micro-manage. I trust my staff to do their jobs well and if anything needs to be corrected they know it’s coming from a place of love and my desire to see them be the best at what they do. I take the style or character traits of any bad boss I’ve ever had... and I do the opposite of that.” Danielle finds that compassion and understanding is part of what helps her team stay motivated, and why her employee retention rate is so high. Danielle is competitive by nature, and strives to keep her team in that #1 spot. When she’s not at work, Danielle is cheering on her 8 year old son David at his baseball games, or playing softball on a co-ed team in Brighton with her husband. Being active is a huge part of her life. During the state shut down, she received her ISSA Personal Trainer Certification and completed 3 5k races! She and he  husband Dan love to travel and go on adventures as often as they can. Last year they did a cross-state 5k bonanza! They started in Grand Rapids with a Color Run and ended in Detroit with the Night Nation 5k at Ford Field. Danielle speaks 3 foreign languages, Spanish, Italian and French (but her French is terrible!), and dreams of traveling to the Amalfi Coast someday with her husband and son. Her best piece of advice, and favorite quote is “in a world where you can be anything, be kind”.

Rosa drags Michael kicking and screaming to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse with no hat! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Peter Schorsch hunkers down with House District 64 Rep. Jamie Grant, which covers parts of north Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. The Tampa Republican is also a co-founder and Senior Solutions Architect of CareSync and a co-founder of LifeSync Technologies. First thing’s first, Grant clears up the name he prefers to go by. Is it James? Jamie? J.W.? The two, who have at times been at odds over various issues, also talk friendships, particularly in the era of divisive politics. Grant acknowledges that conflict is healthy in a friendship, a take he has to take as a lawmaker who has to deal on a daily basis with colleagues with opposing views. Grant also offers an inside glimpse into the dynamics of relationships in the halls of the Capitol. Grant also addresses the Payment Protection Program (PPP) controversy in which some large companies like Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse taking money that was meant for small businesses. Grant explains why he doesn’t blame them for taking advantage of a program they qualified for. Peter pushes back some, pointing out he didn’t apply for PPP funding, but didn’t think it was right because other’s needed it more. On one topic on which there’s little debate, Peter talks with Grant about the challenges facing the Florida economy and the financial hardship that’s bringing to residents and businesses. Grant describes the situation as one that would have been unbelievable even just a couple months ago, likening it hypothetically to a dystopian story like Handmaid’s Tale. Grant offers in this episode a pointed critique of the coronavirus response in this extended interview tackling the virus and government with an occasional personal flair. Special Guest: Jamie Grant.

In this episode we had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas Price of Jackson Family Wines.  In this episode we speak to Thomas about:  Food and Wine scene in Seattle Never Giving Up! Wine Education And so much more…………… Thomas' Bio  Thomas Price has been in the Hospitality Industry for his entire adult life. Thomas was born in Pasadena, California in 1965. His family moved to Alaska when he was 7. Thomas' first restaurant job was as a Dishwasher at a diner in Juneau at the age of 14. By 18, Thomas was the day Lead Cook at an upscale burger house called Harry's in Anchorage. Thomas moved into the front of the house as a Server and Bartender upon turning 21. His passion for wine was instantaneous, and was fueled by a stint as a Server at Zeppo's, an Anchorage wine bar, and wait shifts at their parent restaurant, The Marx Brothers Cafe.      Thomas moved to Seattle in 1988, where he met his lovely wife, Jessica. Jessica shares Thomas' passion for food and wine, and they both worked at some of Seattle's most notable restaurants of the era, (Dahlia Lounge, El Camino, Etta's Seafood, The Santa Fe Café).      In 1997, Thomas and Jessica opened their own restaurant, Luau Polynesian Lounge, in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood. In 2004, Thomas and Jessica decided to pursue other challenges, and sold Luau.      Thomas decided to attempt to obtain his Master Sommelier certification, the highest standard for wine and spirit sales and service in the world. Thomas began as a waiter at Seattle's Metropolitan Grill, and obtained his Basic Sommelier certification in September of 2004.      In 2005, Thomas was promoted to a Sommelier/Captain position and in 2006 he obtained his Certified Sommelier certification. Thomas was approached by Ruth's Chris Steakhouse to be the Wine Director for it's Seattle and Bellevue stores. He was there until 2007, and returned to The Metropolitan Grill as a Sommelier. In September of 2007, Thomas passed his Advanced Sommelier certification on the first try, and became eligible to sit The Master Sommelier Exam.      In June of 2008 Thomas was named Head Sommelier at The Metropolitan Grill. Thomas obtained his Master Sommelier certification in May 2012.  Thomas is dedicated to sharing his passion for wine with his guests, friends, and loved ones, one bottle at a time.

Is there anything you would recommend that I do to get the ball rolling faster? Beatty: Absolutely. So, tell me which city and state you are in. Caller: I’m in Pasadena, California. Beatty:  Great. The most important thing, when we do geographic farming, especially out in California and in those areas where you have a lot of transplants (people who move into the area as opposed to grew up there). Let me give you background of where I am coming from. I don’t care to bore you too much with detail but I think the more you understand why the better. Caller: Certainly. Beatty: What we found through testing and through—we actually engaged an MBA university and their marketing research class to do an analysis for us with what we were seeing. What we were seeing is that some farms produce great results right off the bat. Other farms produced poor results all the way down to no results. We were trying to understand what the difference was. What caused those farms to differ? The final analysis has to do with what we call a trusting community. A trusting community as it is defined in context of what we’ve identified and validated that is the key factor is a community that trusts the agent already. There are two ways that that happens. Either they are like, if you recall the Andy Griffith Show many years back. No one locked their doors because everyone trusted everyone. When you get into those communities where everyone grew up there, they live there, they have their kids there, and their kids grow up there and live there. Then everyone knows everyone and it’s a trusting community. What you have in California is you don’t have that feature. People didn’t grow up there; they grew up somewhere else and they moved there, even if it’s moving across town, they are still in foreign area in terms of people they grew up with. So, as a result, it creates a psychological barrier that they are not as trusting as you are in the other environment. So, they way that you have to build trust is you have to always be there and you build up, not only a name recognition, but you build up an expertise recognition. So this is the focus of what our cards do, but there are some things you can do that will dramatically impact it and make it more productive for you. The most important thing is for you to get out and actually meet those people. When we created your list, when we ran it through data analytics to identify those home most likely to sell, we should have sent you a copy of that list as well. Did we do that? Caller: I do have a list. Beatty:  Okay, perfect. So what I want you to do, I want you to do a number of things. But the most important is going to be door knocking. And next week’s call on my podcast call, which is Wednesdays at 11:00 am central / 9:00 am pacific. We are actually going through 10 low cost things you can do to build up a farm, to do touches, that I would like you to start focusing on, or at least take those things out of the list that are applicable to you. But the most important thing is to door knock and actually meet people. So that means that typically it’s going to be a weekend activity, like a Saturday morning / late Sunday afternoon, when people are typically back home. You are probably going to have to do it a few times to make it work. Door knocking is going to be the most impactful thing you can do. Here is another study that has been corroborated through data points. And that is, once they have met you, the likelihood that they’ll do business with you increases between 8 and 10 times. So, if you want to get off the ground in that area and get quicker results soon and more powerful results that are consistent, the number one thing that is going to be the most impactful is that you meet them. They get to put a face and a voice and a personality. When you go out to door knock is not to try to get a listing appointment or try to get a referral, all that will come later. The most important thing is to say, “Hey, I’m out. I’m a real estate agent in the area. I’m just trying to introduce myself to people. I just want to say, hello, how are you?” Okay? Just engage in that small-talk concept. But I would also have two things, Dixie can give you the first one and it’s what we call a pre-marketing pack. A pre-marketing pack is a package of information—don’t let the page count scare you—but it’s like 43-45 pages long—but what does is it has big print and big pictures and stuff. And it walks through, and you can trim it down to things that are only specific for you, but it gives you a chance to give that homeowner something in their hand that they can read about you. And the whole thing about this premarketing pack is it sells you as an expert agent. When we’ve used this, and we’ve had clients using it for years, the typically thing that happens is two things. First, we use it when we identify seller leads, so that’s the self-selection cards. When that package is given to someone, what happens is, that agent usually gets the listing when it comes on the market and the average listing appointment goes from about 2 to 2.5 hours down to about 30 – 45 minutes because most of that listing appointment is the presentation, trying to sell why they should choose you. But this packet does such a good job, that when we are using it with seller leads, it kind of pre-sells you and they’ve already bought in so it eliminates all that. I’ve got to tell you another story because it is a powerful piece of information. Another one of our clients up in Washington state, when he started with us, had just updated his packet and he gets a phone call from one of his referral sources that says, “Julie Smith at this address is thinking about selling her home, you ought to give her a phone call.” So Ed calls her up and introduces himself. She says, “Yes, we are playing to sell. But, I am already planning to use another agent. Thanks for calling.” He said, “Are you under contract yet?” She said, “No.” He said, “Great, can I email you some information about me first.” She responds, “Sure, I’ll be happy to review it.” So he emails the information. She calls him back the next day and says, “Ed, I got your information. I read it. I want you to sell my house. I’ve already cancelled my appointment with the other agent. Can you meet me tomorrow at 2:00?” And it was a $700,000 listing. It’s real powerful. As you are door knocking, you want to have a stack of those and hand them to everyone you meet as simply a way to introduce yourself. Okay? Caller: Sure. Beatty: The second thing I want you to do is, I want you to create a free report of some sort. The focus of this free report is, if I were to ask you and say, “Stephen, what is, in your mind, if I’m going to put my home on the market, what are the most important things I need to be concentrating on right now to get it ready to go on the market so it shows its best, sells at the highest price and gets the offer as quickly as possible. Caller: Right now I have that on my website and on YouTube. Also I do a market update every single month on video as well. Will that help my cause? Beatty: Not on what I’m doing right now. It will help your cause as you continue to touch your people, touch that list in addition to our touches, but for where I’m going on this, it’s not going to be helpful because you’ll find out in my next sentence. Now that you’ve got it, put it on paper. Okay? Something that they can hold. Make sure that that paper is branded to you and keep that in your car. So then, when you are talking to that person, you door knocked, you are meeting them, you are giving them some information and you are just building a relationship. You are not asking, “Hey, are you guys thinking about selling? Do you know anyone who is? Can you refer me?” You don’t want to do anything like because that is going to be pushy. Now, if it comes out naturally in the conversation, that is okay, but build the relationship first. Then here is what I suggest. On the way out, you shake their hand and say, “It’s so nice to meet you. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.” You turn around. They haven’t closed the door yet. And you go, “One last thing” as if it was an aside. “One last thing. I don’t know if you guys are planning to sell your home anytime in the next six of twelve months, but if you are, I’ve got some information that I actually put together for another client of mine. I have an extra packet in the car of things you can do to get the most money for your home in terms of what you need to be focusing on first in terms of getting it prepared. Would you guys have any interest in that because I have an extra copy? Now, what happens is that it comes across as an aside. You built a relationship; they kind of trust you. You are not asking, “Are you planning to sell because I wanted to get your listing.” You are offering them, “Hey, if you are thinking about listing your home, I have something for you.” What that’s going to do is, if they ask for it, is let you know that they are most likely thinking about selling because that is why they are asking you for it. So you’ll go get it from the car and then you make a note when you get back into the car after you give it to them. Note who they are and any information about them. Once you give it back to them, “If you guys are thinking about selling, what type of timeframe? There may be some other strategic things you can do depending on how far out you are thinking.” So get some information that you can follow up with. And then you write them a personal note, a handwritten letter or a handwritten card that day and then you drop it into the mail. You get them on additional postcard mailings from you. Now you start to touch them more specifically. Does that make sense, what I’m doing? Caller: Yes. I should put together a “How to prepare your home to sell” mini-brochure? Beatty: That’s right. What you are looking for is anything that will guide that homeowner that you can give them as a value-added gift and you keep it in the car and you make them request it. Because by virtue of requesting it, now they are basically identifying themselves as thinking about selling. So you can start to nurture that relationship more. Caller: I do like your marketing cards because they pull on heart strings and I think that is very important. I finished my “What you may not know about me” card and I talk about my grandfather who was a broker and he molded my way of what you think of the customer and I think that will help people get to know me that way. Beatty: That’s the whole purpose of this. The whole idea is this. Trust is built on three things. If they trust you, they will do business with you. First trust is have they met you? That’s why the most important thing you can do is door know and keep door knocking until you have met up to 100% of everyone on your list. Okay? The second thing of trust is, do they know that you are constantly selling? That’s why our cards are going to show off a sale every single time. The third part of trust is, do they know that you have the expertise to get them the most money. And that is where the rest of cards come in and that is where this pre-marking pack comes in. That’s where this free report that you are going to do comes in. All of these things are you showing off your expertise so they trust you. They are all hitting the same point. Caller: Stunning. Beatty: There are some other things you can do, but these are the most important. If you can door knock, have a pre-marketing pack and have that free report that you create that you can give them upon request at the end of your visit then you pretty much have it made. Caller: You know, I’m of the opinion, wrongly, that let’s say I didn’t want to bother people. I would touch them maybe 2 – 3 times a year which is way too low. I would definitely lose business that way. I mean, I would get business but I would also lose business as well. Recently, I sent out to my top 25%, a $5.00 gift certificate to Starbucks and that turned out to be pretty good because I would say 70 – 80% of them called me or emailed me thanking me for that. So, that’s something that I think I want to do maybe once a year. What do you think about something like that? Beatty: I love it.  One of the things that we request, in fact, for our guarantee, we require is that you personally touch your list twice a year.  So, sending out a gift card like that, just a handwritten note, a phone call, a face visit, anything that you can do that is a personal touch is huge.  Typically the large chain restaurants, like maybe Longhorn Steakhouse, I’m not sure. Caller:  Like maybe IHOP. Beatty: Yeah, IHOP, anything like that.  Many times you can get a 2 for 1 coupon and especially if you called their corporate office and say that I want something to promote to my list, can you send me some 2 for 1 coupons or anything like that that I can give my people value and it gives them a discount coming to your location?  They jump on that.  They will do anything to get business.  That won’t cost you anything. Caller:  Okay Beatty:  So you won’t have to buy gift certificates because they will give them to you for free. Caller:  2 for 1 discounts, right?  Are you saying like a discount card or a discount coupon or something like that? Beatty:  Yeah, it’s probably a coupon.  I don’t know if you’re familiar with coupon books. Caller: Oh, yeah. Beatty:  Sometimes organizations will sell coupon books as a fund raiser.  What happens is that restaurant or that store will pay money to put that coupon in the book so they can get more business.  If you find one of those coupon books and literally go through it and call those stores up personally.  Just say, hey, I see that you’ve got the coupon in here.  I have a list of people I want to give a benefit.  Can you give me a bunch of coupons that I can give out for free?   They will give you the same coupons that they pay to put in that book and give it to you for free.  All you want to do is make it special and personal, so it doesn’t look like you just ripped it out of a book, but do something so it sounds like I arranged for you to have a 2 for 1 dinner over at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and here’s a card or here’s a coupon for that will bless you on it.  I know that over at Fleming’s Steakhouse, I don’t know if you have Fleming’s over there. Caller:  We do. Beatty:  It’s a high end steakhouse and they have internally gift cards that they will give out on a birthday or because they want to reward some sort of a client.  It’s like a $25 gift card. It can only be used there and typically because all of the entrées are much more expensive than $25, they know that they will make money on it.  You could go to even Fleming’s and suggest, hey, here’s what I want to do.  Can you give me any gift cards so I can give out and promote you to my list?  A lot of these places will jump on the opportunity to do that. Caller:  I love it.  I never thought of it, but now I will. Beatty:  Yes.  Those are just some things you can do as additional touches.  Back to what can you do.  The most important thing in your farm is you’ve got to be there and let me also suggest you need to be there ideally more frequently that just our postcards.  Okay? Caller:  Sure. Beatty:  If you have another thing that you can mail quarterly or every other month, then that’s going to add even more value and then if you door knock and then if you get them on an address list and then you can mail them personally a handwritten not.  Hey, I enjoyed meeting you.  By the way, here’s a $25 gift certificate to Fleming’s that I got for you.  I hope you enjoy it.  Anything like that.  Now, you’re adding value and they appreciate you and you’re touching them more and that’s how you’re going to win that business. Caller:  I love it.  I’ll do it.  We do have a Fleming’s and we do have a Ruth’s Chris in town in Pasadena.  Pasadena is very restaurant heavy. Beatty:  Good. Caller:  There’s a lot of restaurants. Beatty:  So that means that there’s a lot of competition and if you just spend a little bit of time, or get an assistant to spend some time, and tell them what’s going on.  Tell them how big your list is.  Just tell them that I’ve got a list of 500 people that I want to or whatever your list is, that I want to promote something special.  Do you have a gift card that will give them a discount or give them any sort of benefit that I can give to them as a special gift?  Caller:  I will. Beatty:  You will find that many of them will do it. Caller:  I hit on that. Beatty:  Well, on the geo farm, let me set expectations.  You will get quicker results with your sphere than you will the geo farm.  The geo farm, the first stages of the geo farm is simply to get them to recognize you and start to remember you and then to start to trust you.  That’s where the additional touches that you do will greatly enhance it and that additional effort, the face visit, will take it through the roof.  Let me share a story of another client of ours over in California. Caller:  Sure Beatty:  Near Los Angeles.  When he started working with us, he was targeting a 1200 home farm, 1500 home, excuse me.  He was a nobody there in terms of market share.  In 18 months, he was controlling 22% of the listings, outselling the number 2 agent by 7 times.  What happened was he door knocked that area three times a year.  We were mailing, at that time, either 8 or 12 times a year, I don’t recall and that community was also, there’s a Facebook community page for it because it was a large subdivision. Caller:  Uh huh. Beatty:  He got involved with the Facebook community page and just became a very active participant.  Every listing he did, he would market it three or four times.  Coming Soon, Just Listed, Open House, Under Contract, Just Sold so people saw his activity.  He would post on people’s post and comment on things.  He was there as an individual and also there as a realtor.  Any time someone joined the Facebook community page, he would personally welcome them.  He became an Admin person on the community page.  He would welcome them personally and add them to his personal Facebook page.  What happened was that between our mailings, his door knocking and Facebook, he was always there and always as a professional agent.  So, 18 months, 22% of the farm.  2 years later, 50% of the farm market share.  I mean, he’s just killing it.  So, it’s all about always being there in some form and capacity.  If you keep that focus with this list that we’re doing, then you’ll win. Caller:  Yeah, yeah.  It certainly should.  Again, Beatty, thank you for your time.  This has been insightful and it’s a matter of me getting out there and implementing. Beatty:  Well, very good.  I wish you great success.  If you have any questions, let me know.   P019

In Forex News TodayThe dollar is not getting much respect these days and nothing seems to be able to prop it up. The US currency is getting pushed around with little regard. With the subprime mortgage house of cards falling down and billions of dollars leaving top financial banks - there is an uneasy feeling of crisis; the oil price is approaching the $100/barrel mark, gold continues to advance, many equities are taking a reality check, and jobs are only starting to get wiped out. All these factors are playing a part in the continuing decline of the US Dollar. The Canadian dollar meantime surged to its highest level against the US dollar since the currency was floated half a century ago after surprisingly strong Canadian employment data improved the loonie?s interest rate appeal. The Canadian dollar has risen over 20 per cent against the dollar so far this year. Analysts said the recent jobs data increased the chances that the Bank of Canada would leave interest rate on hold at 4.5 per cent in the coming months. And BNP Paribas chief currency strategist said the dollar may drop to $1.50 per euro by end of the year. The median estimate of 42 strategists is for the dollar to end the year at $1.43.
