Learn valuable tips on improving lead conversion, building strong teams, and maintaining passion in your business. Don't miss out – listen now!   “I think a lot of people try to build a schedule based on somebody else's schedule. Build a schedule based on your own schedule, whatever that schedule is. Just stick to it. That's all you need, just do those things. When you look into your CRM, don't have 50 stages, keep it simple. The more simple you could keep it, the more chance you'll have success. And when you get into complexity, no agents are going to follow it. And if you're an agent and you build complexity in your own schedule, in your own CRM, you're not going to follow it either”- Preston Guyon   In this episode, we'll tackle:   Building Multiple Businesses: Preston has successfully built and sold multiple companies, including real estate, construction, and mortgage businesses.   Lead Generation Focus: His primary focus has always been on lead generation, using it to build and scale businesses.   Digital Maverick and DCM Program: Preston runs Digital Maverick, which helps teams generate leads through AdWords campaigns, and the DCM program, which manages databases to improve lead conversion.   Easy Home Search: This platform helps generate leads and is expanding across the U.S., aiming to cover 220 MLSs by the end of the year.   Exclusivity Strategy: Offering county exclusivity to partners helps improve systems, processes, and recruiting.   Simplicity and Consistency: Emphasizes the importance of simple, consistent systems and schedules for success.   Importance of a Strong Team: Building a strong team by finding the right people and selling them on the vision is crucial.   Real Estate Community Support: Preston is passionate about giving back to the real estate community and maintaining sustainable business practices.

This is going to be a fun episode because I have Travis, an expert in the real estate industry, joining me where he shares invaluable insights on the importance of the ISA role, lead conversion strategies, and the critical nature of follow-up. He highlights the need for simple and effective database management systems and the humanization of leads. Travis also discusses his work with Digital Maverick's DCM program, which has sent about 4 million texts and emails in just 106 days, underscoring the scale of their operations. Tune in to hear Travis's tips on training ISAs, handling difficult clients with grace, and maintaining a positive outlook in the fast-paced world of real estate.   “The more simple your system is, the easier it is for you to close deals. Because once you really boil real estate down, it's just talk to more people, sell more homes, make more money. Like that's really what it comes down to. So a lot of the gaps that we see in Database. Is, is they their smart lists don't match their stages, or they're too they're too critical on what the filters are and things like that. And it's just like last call made stage a, like, just, that's all you need.”- Travis Halverson   In this episode, let's explore:   Role and Importance of ISAs: Travis emphasizes that the ISA position is often seen as a stepping stone but he values it as a career.   Lead Conversion Tips: Effective follow-up and consistent action are critical for improving lead conversion. Simplifying the system and ensuring uniformity in managing leads can enhance efficiency and outcomes.   Database Management and System Setup: Clear definitions and simple systems for stages and smart lists in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) are essential.   Humanizing Leads:Treat leads as individuals with needs and interests rather than mere numbers. Effective communication involves having genuine conversations and understanding clients' needs.   Training ISAs: Training focuses on improving language and conversation skills rather than strictly adhering to scripts.   Digital Maverick and DCM: Digital Maverick offers various services, including database management through the DCM (Database Conversion Management) program. Travis's role involves helping multiple teams across states manage and optimize their databases for better lead conversion.

Most real estate agents don't want to hear this but, an abundance of leads does not equate to business growth. In fact, too many leads could be the reason for a decline in deals.   Getting a truckload of leads sounds great, but if they're not turning into real business, what's the point?   Collecting leads like they're going out of style isn't doing us any favors if they just sit there. If you ever feel like you're swimming in a sea of leads but you're still thirsty for actual sales, our guest will tell you why that's happening. Entrepreneur, Preston Guy has cracked the code on turning those endless leads into real, profitable deals.   What's the secret sauce to making leads actually work for you? How do you keep up with technology without losing that personal touch that seals the deal?   In this eye-opening episode, founder of EZ Home Search and Digital Maverick, Preston Guyton's here to shake up the usual “more is better” mindset and show us there's a smarter way to work leads.   If you're giving an agent too many leads, they get confused on what they should do. -Preston Guyton   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode     -More Leads Don't Always Mean More Business How can agents focus on quality over quantity to enhance their conversion rates? Is there a magic number of leads that's just right?   -When Tech Meets Touch How do you blend cool tech with warm conversations?   -Give Older Leads a Second Chance Why should "old" leads get more love and how can you turn them into your next big win?   Guest Bio   Preston Guyton has carved out a stellar 20-year career in real estate, dedicating his expertise to guiding teams and businesses toward their sales and growth ambitions through targeted consulting, coaching, and networking.

Episode 010: Shane Snow – How To Accelerate Success Using Smart Cuts When I created this podcast, I made a list of the 125 people I would reach out to first to be a guest on the show… Shane Snow was the very first name on that list. (Adam Grant was next).  Shane’s book Smartcuts is one of the best books I’ve ever read.  In this episode, we took a deep dive and Shane gives us the entire blueprint to accelerate success.  Shane is not about just achieving success, he’s about accelerating it.  When you listen to this episode, you’ll see why.  “The next Malcolm Gladwell.” That's what fans and critics from Forbes to The L.A. Times are calling innovation expert and keynote speaker Shane Snow, the bestselling author of SMARTCUTS: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success. An award-winning entrepreneur and journalist, Snow has been declared a “Wunderkind" by The New York Times, a “Digital Maverick” by Details Magazine, and his work “Insanely addicting” by GQ. We go over everything from Jimmy Fallon’s quest to get on SNL to understanding how lateral thinking will change your life.  Welcome to Episode 010 with the next Malcolm Gladwell, Shane Snow Subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher Radio. The Learning Leader Show "If you truly love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made of." - Bruce Lee Some Questions I Ask: What does accelerating success mean to you? What is lateral thinking? How can it change your life? What type of mentorship is best? How do we implement these ideas into our careers?  Specific ways… What actions can we take? Why do we celebrate failure? What is the difference between a Smartcut and a short cut? What is your definition of a Learning Leader?

Episode edited by the great J Scott Donnell   Shane Snow Bio From Amazon.com Entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow (Wired, Fast Company, The New Yorker, and cofounder of Contently) analyzes the lives of people and companies that do incredible things in implausibly short time. How do some startups go from zero to billions in mere months? How did Alexander the Great, YouTube tycoon Michelle Phan, and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon climb to the top in less time than it takes most of us to get a promotion? What do high-growth businesses, world-class heart surgeons, and underdog marketers do in common to beat the norm? One way or another, they do it like computer hackers. They employ what psychologists call "lateral thinking" to rethink convention and break "rules" that aren't rules. In Smartcuts, Snow shatters common wisdom about success, revealing how conventions like "paying dues" prevent progress, why kids shouldn't learn times tables, and how, paradoxically, it's easier to build a huge business than a small one. From SpaceX to The Cuban Revolution, from Ferrari to Skrillex, Smartcuts is a narrative adventure that busts old myths about success and shows how innovators and icons do the incredible by working smarter--and how perhaps the rest of us can, too.
