That's not just a legacy—it's a privilege that allows us to pivot powerfully into the future.” — Kelly Cook“It's women choosing to wear cowboy boots instead of a cushion Louboutin—and we love all of it.” — Kelly Cook“We serve anyone who's in love, no matter who their partner is. If we don't have what you need, we'll go get it.” — Kelly Cook“You don't need 90% of the data to make a decision. You need 65—and a little courage.” — Kelly CookIn-Show Mentions: Read on The Senses: "The Auratic Economy"Associated Links:Order LORE by Future CommerceCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

In April 1981, 15-year-old Kelly Cook vanished without a trace from the small town of Standard, Alberta, Canada. She was last seen leaving her family home to babysit for a local man who'd called earlier in the day requesting her from 8:30 pm - midnight, but she never returned. Despite extensive searches, investigations, and national attention, Kelly's murder remains unsolved over four decades later, making it one of Canada's most enduring mysteries. Various theories have emerged, including abduction by a stranger, involvement of someone known to Kelly, human trafficking, accidental death, or voluntary disappearance.

Thanks for tuning in! Check out our latest episode on Selling Real Estate with Kelly Cook! Today, we're going to be talking about Charging into the Storm. There's an interesting fact that I recently heard, Buffalo run towards the storm knowing they'll get out of it faster while Cows move towards the storm before hunkering down which makes them sit in the storm longer..... So which one are you? Are you the Agent charging through the storm of high interest rates and into 2024? Or are you sitting tight waiting for the storm to pass and interest rates to fall before getting back to business? If I were you, I'd charge head first into the storm to get out of it sooner.....

She got into a waiting car driven by a man she had never before met and disappeared into the night. That morning Kelly had received a phone call from a man who said his name was Bill Christensen. He was looking for a babysitter and told Kelly she had been highly recommended. They agreed that he would pick her up later and have her home by midnight. Kelly was never seen alive again. This tragic case is one of Canada's most baffling and disturbing unsolved crimes.

Kelly Cook took 175+ listings last year in the hyper-competitive market of Phoenix. He's been selling real estate for 16 years and knows a thing or two on how to get the phone to ring from homeowners who want to hire you to sell their home. In short, he attacks only on a narrow front by going deep to drown out the competition. Kelly is a full-service real estate agent charging his full commission in his competitive marketplace, and this is how he does it. -- READ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT -- Here are Kelly's top listing strategies: 1. Zip Code Farm – Kelly mails 10,000 newsletters a month to his zip code where he lives using EDDM at a cost of about $0.33 each. It's a 6%+ turn-over rate and there's no one dominant agent. The homes are close to him, too. The newsletter focuses on the community. He also appended emails to all those homeowners and advertises to them on Facebook. He also emails them all his newsletter once a month. 2. Giveaways – Kelly doesn't like doing in-person events, rather he hosts them “virtually.” He picks a neat giveaway every 3 months to, well, “give away.” He sends out an email and people just call him to enter. Brilliant! It gets people calling him directly from his database. This was a big takeaway on the show. Frank also shares the content for the email to send to your database to get the phone to ring with a giveaway. 3. Extreme Gifting – In addition to using Vyral Marketing for his 36-touch program to his database, he has a list of 75 people who have referred him business in the past year. He sends them two expensive gifts a year! In addition to all that, he has a regular call, text, and email plan for all his past clients and spheres on specific and meaningful dates to earn referrals from his database. Join us for the episode and learn what Kelly is doing to take listings in this low-inventory market!
