Most of us think we're struggling with follow-up because we aren't consistent enough, or the leads just aren't good enough. But in reality, the problem goes much deeper than missed calls and forgotten reminders.  The real issue is that most agents fundamentally misunderstand how long it actually takes to convert a lead, and what those follow-up conversations are supposed to feel like.  We expect one call to turn into an appointment and one appointment to turn into a deal. When that doesn't happen, we assume the lead isn't interested, or worse, that we're “bothering them.”  What makes follow-up fall apart isn't laziness, it's uncertainty. We jump off that first call, and when it's time to reconnect, we genuinely have no idea what to say next.  So we default to the fastest escape hatch: a cold text, a generic check-in, a “just touching base” message that signals the wrong thing, you're following up for yourself, not to bring value to the lead.  How do we shift our mindset around follow-up? How do we take the pressure and hesitation out of lead follow-up? In this episode, we break down the patterns behind bad follow-up, the mindset shift that makes good follow-up easy, and the small adjustments that help you stay connected to your entire pipeline.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Follow-up takes more touches than most agents assume Most clients need several conversations before anything moves forward. How do we plan for a longer decision cycle instead of expecting quick wins? Why “just checking in” messages fall flat Generic follow-up doesn't create meaningful engagement. How do we make sure our touchpoints actually reflect where the client is in their process? How to pick up the conversation where it last ended A good follow-up feels like continuity, not a reset. What becomes easier when we reconnect around the client's timeline, concerns, or next step? The role of warm and older leads in your pipeline Hot leads aren't the only ones who convert. What opportunities show up when every stage of our database has a consistent follow-up rhythm?     About Your Host   Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

Athena Brownson is no stranger to pain. As a former professional skier, she sustained so many injuries, her doctors warned that if she kept it up, she'd have to have her knees replaced before she was 30. After she retired, she found success as a Realtor in the Denver area, and all was great until Athena was hit with a major medical setback. Lyme Disease threatened her bodily peace, her mental peace, her work, everything. The daily pain was debilitating, and yet, she while she was no stranger to pain, she was also no stranger to resilience. That resilience can be seen in her discussion with Max. It's inspiring, to say the least.    For more from Athena:  AthenaBrownsonRealtor.com Instagram: @athenabrownsonrealtor   For More From Sober Coach/Substance Abuse Counselor Max Njist, visit MaxNijst.org

For years, we've been taught that SEO was the key to being found online, write the blogs, keep the website fresh, get your backlinks, and trust the process. But there's a new shift happening in real estate that most agents haven't caught onto yet.  AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is quietly becoming more powerful than traditional SEO. And it makes perfect sense. Buyers and sellers aren't searching the way they used to. They're asking full questions out loud into their phones, their cars, and their AI tools. They don't want links…they want answers.  AEO is built for exactly that. It rewards the agents who show up with real answers to real questions, not just blog posts stuffed with keywords. It's the reason some agents are suddenly popping up in AI overviews, even if their websites aren't the "best ranked." How do we set ourselves up for success with AEO? How can we take AI to the next level?  In this episode, I'm joined by digital marketing expert, StoryBrand Certified Guide, and the founder of Changescape Web, Ken Tucker.   We talk about what this shift means for real estate pros: why AEO is winning, how zero-click search is changing consumer behavior, and why some of the platforms we stopped paying attention to, like Yelp and Bing Places, are becoming essential again.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Yelp and Bing Places matter more than you think LLMs pull their local business data from platforms most agents ignore. What opportunities open up when our Yelp and Bing profiles are fully optimized and feeding the AI tools directly? Zero-click search is reshaping how people choose agents Consumers are getting everything they need in the AI overview, no clicks required. How do we stand out when the decision is made before they ever reach our sites? Your FAQs are the new fuel for visibility AI tools elevate the agents who answer specific buyer and seller questions clearly and consistently. How do we build a robust FAQ ecosystem? Speed-to-lead is being rewritten by AI phone systems. AI voice assistants respond instantly and book appointments before a human can even glance at their phone. How would this impact our conversion rates?   About the Guest Ken Tucker is a Fractional CMO and Marketing Solution Architect, StoryBrand Certified Guide, marketing expert, speaker, and President and Founder of Changescape Web.

Lisa Miller has the tables turned on her in this podcast where she's the guest, in this originally-aired episode of the InsuredMine podcast with CEO and host Raution Jaiswal.  The former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner discusses her career and the evolving insurance landscape – both here in Florida and nationally – and how to decode it. The discussion covers litigation reforms, market stability, Citizens Property Insurance depopulation, and other legislative actions in Florida that are restoring consumer confidence and attracting private insurance companies. They also touch on national trends like parametric insurance, the rise of artificial intelligence in underwriting and claims, and the impact of the National Flood Insurance Program shutdown on real estate closings.Show Notes (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-61-the-evolving-insurance-landscape/) Lisa Miller shared her extensive experience in the insurance industry, spanning 35 years, and her work with various stakeholders, including agents, contractors, disaster recovery experts, Realtors®, and insurance company executives.  She recounted her first exposure to catastrophes during 1992's Hurricane Andrew, which shaped her career and commitment to helping policyholders, and her expanding role in disaster recovery today.Miller shared her views and provided insights on:  Litigation Reform & Market Stability: How recent legislative actions in Florida are restoring consumer confidence and attracting private insurance companies back to the state. The Citizens Property Insurance Corporation's Depopulation Strategy: The push to move policies from government-run insurance to private markets for long-term sustainability.  The strategy has reduced policies from over 1.5 million to under 500,000. National Trends: The rise of parametric insurance and its potential to revolutionize the flood insurance space; how states such as Louisiana and California are rethinking risk and resilience; concerns of northeastern states about rising water levels; and the importance of attracting young, innovative professionals to the insurance industry to drive future growth and innovation. Innovation & Artificial Intelligence: Why AI isn't a threat but a tool – if used responsibly – to make underwriting and claims smarter.  Miller emphasized the importance of AI in improving efficiency and consumer confidence, emphasizing its potential as a tool rather than a threat.  She discussed a recent Florida legislative committee meeting devoted to AI and its use in insurance claims, including a subsequent bill filed in the January 2026 legislative session that would require human reviews of insurance claim denials. The podcast had its light moments, as well.  “I often laugh and say that when people see me coming, particularly in the halls of the Capitol of Florida, they either run toward me or they run the other way, because those that go the other way are scared of it.  Insurance is very intimidating, and I do everything I can every single day to demystify it,” said Miller.  (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-61-the-evolving-insurance-landscape/) 

Most agents “qualify” leads by asking one question:“Are you thinking about buying or selling soon?”That's not qualifying — that's rushing the relationship and disqualifying people who could become some of your biggest advocates.In this episode, I'll show you how top real estate agents qualify conversations based on relationship value, not just lead intent. You'll get a practical framework you can use in every conversation so you know which relationships are worth investing in long-term.You'll learn:✅ Why leads don't build your business — relationships do✅ How to move away from intent-based qualifying (“Are you moving soon?”)✅ The NOW → SOMEDAY → GAP framework to uncover real goals✅ How to spot the hidden value in “not yet” clients: referrals, future deals, and brand equity✅ A 6-step conversation roadmap plus an internal “relationship check” so you know who to actually nurtureWhen you start qualifying the relationship — not just the lead — you give every conversation a real chance to turn into business, whether that's today, next year, or through the people they refer to you.Comment “FRAMEWORK” if you want my full relationship-first conversation scripts and follow-up plan.

Send me a message This week, I tell the full story of the day I did something most sane creators would never do. I deleted my Instagram account. Wiped out. Gone. At the time I had about 13,000 to 15,000. And I started completely over from scratch, from zero.Why the hell would I delete my Instagram? Because my account was dead because of some really boneheaded, uneducated moves.A dumb decision I made years earlier crushed my reach, limited my engagement, and put a permanent ceiling on every post I made.

At the dawn of the 20th century, American finance looked modern—telegraphs, syndicates, Wall Street empires—but it had no brakes. In this episode of Built to Divide, host Dimitrius Lynch follows the chain reaction from the Panic of 1907 to the creation of the Federal Reserve, revealing how crises, central banking, and policy choices concentrated power at the top and quietly reshaped who gets to own a home in America.We move from J.P. Morgan locking bankers in his library to stabilize markets, to the secret Jekyll Island meeting that birthed the blueprint for the Fed, to a global financial order built on austerity, gold, and central banks. Lynch unpacks how this shift—from robber barons to central bankers—centralized control over money and credit, setting the stage for a financial system that could either stabilize the economy or supercharge inequality.In parallel, the episode traces a second, brutal story: the clash between slave labor and wage labor, the Civil War, broken promises like Special Field Orders No. 15, Reconstruction, the 13th and 14th Amendments, and the massive land giveaways of the Homestead and Railway Acts that seeded a two-track wealth system. That system was later hardened by Black Codes, Jim Crow, and the rise of the National Association of Realtors, whose restrictive covenants and ethics codes turned racism and class exclusion into standard practice.As Lynch connects the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, Hoover's homeownership gospel, and New Deal housing programs—HOLC, FHA, Fannie Mae—listeners see how federal support for mortgages expanded opportunity for some while redlining, racial covenants, and “good neighborhood” ideology locked others out. Housing was transformed into a mass wealth engine built on division.This episode is a deep dive into how central banking, war finance, slavery, segregation, real estate professionalization, and federal housing policy fused into a system where housing isn't just shelter or asset—it's a sorting mechanism. If you want to understand why today's housing market feels rigged, this chapter shows how the rig was built.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.

Focus on the Right Number and You Will Watch Your Business Success! What if I told you there's a better way to succeed than chasing goals you never hit? This week on A New Direction, I'm sitting down with Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best-Selling Author Lee Benson, and we're diving into his powerful book Your Most Important Number. Lee's going to show us why traditional goal setting often falls flat—and how focusing on one transformational number can simplify your strategy, elevate your performance, and change the way you lead and live. If you've ever felt stuck or overloaded, this conversation will bring the clarity and direction you've been searching for. Lee's developed the MIND Methodology—Most Important Number + Drivers—a framework that's helping organizations around the world cut the clutter and dial in on what really matters. We'll dig into how you can find your most important number, align your people around it, and track progress in a way that builds confidence and momentum. It's practical. It's proven. And you'll be able to use it the second the show ends. But you know me—I'm always about the human side. And that's what makes Lee's approach so powerful. This isn't just about data or performance metrics. It's about people, purpose, unity, and ownership. When you focus on the right number, you create a culture where everyone knows what winning looks like—and how to move the needle together. That's when progress becomes a habit instead of a hope. This episode will show you The 1 Number That Changes Everything. Because once you know your most important number, you stop chasing random goals… and start achieving what truly matters. Lee Benson's book, "Your Most Important Number" is a brilliantly, logical, practical guide to helping any business of any size and any leader no matter the level achieve more as entire company and individually. So often we read or hear people talk about goal setting.  "We have to set goals!" They will shout.  And experts from all different parts of the business world will say "set goals" if you want to achieve more success. Well, that sounds good in theory, but the fact is this, no matter how SMART you make them it's not working! Your company is not getting all that much better if it all because you do them, and here is the fact:  Setting goals are not motivating anyone! There has got to be another way!  And there is! Lee Benson's MIND (Most Important Number and Drivers).  Wow!  Talk about eye opening.  When leadership comes to the conclusion of what their MIN (Most Important Number) is, and then each area of the business determine what their MIN is that is connected to the overall MIN, and then each person knows what they need to deliver in terms of behavior to add value to the MIN.  Bam!  It's a huge win! The book is complete with an appendix that will start walking you through the how to...get the book...read it, absorb it, put it into practice, it has worked for so many businesses which he gives examples of it will work for your business too. By the way, he even offers freebies to get yourself started.  Just go to www.etw.com/tools  it's all right there. And get your copy of Your Most Important Number by clicking here!

Grace and Andrew have been together for a little over two and a half years after first meeting on Bumble. Grace tells us things have been great for the most part, but she tells us that while they have talked about potentially moving in with one another she has started to notice some weird things. This past weekend Grace noticed that some of the clothes she leaves at Andrew’s place weren’t hers and they were a completely different size. At the same time, Grace has seen Andrew turn of his location randomly throughout the day and then turns it back on. We call Andrew pretending to send him a free bouquet of flowers and when we ask him who he wants them sent to, Andrew asks if they can be sent to his close friend Renee.

In this episode of the Ninja Selling Podcast, Northern Virginia Realtor and Ninja, April Myers, explores what it really looks like to stay magnetic, consistent, and growth-minded when life gets very real. Based in Arlington, Virginia, with @properties in the DC suburbs, April shares how her background as a recruiting leader and VP of strategic growth helped her become fearless in sales and build powerful relationships with agents across her market. Those relationships are now a major asset in her real estate business. But the heart of this episode is deeply personal. In late 2024, April's husband, who has epilepsy, experienced a seizure after more than 10 years without one, and then another in early 2025. He lost his driver's license for nearly a year, which meant April became the full-time driver for her husband, her young son, and her clients… all while working in a volatile DC-area market with layoffs, uncertainty, and a government shutdown. Despite all of that, April is on track to grow her business by roughly 20% over last year in a market that is not up 20%. She walks through, very candidly, how she did it: mindset work, strict time blocking, non-negotiable morning routines, consistent FLOW (both live and auto), and a refusal to become a victim of her circumstances. This episode is a powerful example of Ninja principles in action when life is anything but easy. Key Takeaways Mindset first, always. April made a conscious decision early on: "I will not be a victim of my circumstances." That choice, to be a player instead of a victim, became the foundation for everything that followed. Systems let your business run while you're running. Before her family crisis hit, April had already built a solid Ninja business plan, a database, and consistent habits. When life got harder, those systems kept the business moving even when time shrank. Time blocking is self-preservation, not punishment. April blocks her calendar for real estate reviews, monthly emails, FLOW activities, and even which clients get a review each month. By deciding ahead of time, she removes the thinking burden from "future April" and just executes. FLOW is her superpower: auto + live. About 225–240 people in her database, with ~150 local in the DMV. At least two emails per month: one local lifestyle/events email and one real estate/market update from her Gmail. Regular mailings: quarterly newsletters, postcards, topical or seasonal pieces, plus tools like Homebot, and a vendor guide. Live FLOW: birthday calls, home anniversaries, client service calls every week, and at least one client dinner a month. April rarely "misses a beat" with her FLOW, even in a chaotic year. Recruiting experience turned into a massive advantage. Years of recruiting 175–200 agents made her fearless on the phone, great at conversations, and deeply connected to top agents in her market. These relationships now help her get offers accepted in competitive situations. Look for silver linings in hard seasons. When her husband lost his license, April chose to use extra time at school pickups, games, and events to go deeper with other parents, neighbors, and community members. That intentional presence has led to unexpected, high-quality clients in a tough year. Consistency beats "doing it all." April openly admits she didn't do as many open houses as she "should" have, but she stayed consistent on the core Ninja activities she could execute. The result: her business is up in a down market. Memorable Quotes "I refused to become a victim of my circumstances." "I still look back on the last 10 or 11 months and think, 'I don't know how I did it.' But I knew I needed a plan and a system to run my business like a business." "Those years recruiting agents made me fearless. If you can call Realtors every day who don't want to talk to you, it's a lot easier to talk to people who actually do want to talk to you." "I wanted to be an anomaly. I was already going to be, so why let this stop me?" "I started getting up a half hour to an hour earlier every day. I needed that time for affirmations and mindset because it keeps me grounded and sane." "It's like going to the gym. It's hard at first, and you don't see changes, but change doesn't happen overnight. You start to see results, and that keeps you going." "Trust the silver linings. Something hard might be happening, but there might be something better around the corner that you can't see yet." "We say the three keys to success are mindset, skill set, and action, in that order. I couldn't control what happened, but I could control my response to what happened."
