President and CEO of First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) Jeremy Crawford is in the studio today for today's All About Real Estate segment of the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast. Tune in to find out what not to do during a virtual continuing education (CE) class as Jeremy shares all sorts of interesting stories with co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick. Additional topics discussed include the transition to virtual training, new convenient programs offered for brokers and agents and the state of the current market. FMLS is dedicated to serving the Georgia real estate community with a convenient database to facilitate sales for buyers and sellers alike. The fourth largest listing service in the nation, FMLS has over 52,000 current subscribers of brokers and real estate agents using its service primarily for residential renting. Last year, FMLS added commercial platforms to accommodate the ever-changing real estate landscape. FMLS also provides instructor-led software training and technical support to ensure success for users. To accommodate users during the pandemic, FMLS transitioned its onsite training to live virtual trainings for the safety of all participants. FMLS also launched Mindflash, a self-paced CE accredited training for users to conveniently earn their certification on their own time. Although turnout for virtual training was expected to be low, the transition to online training saw a 50% increase in participants with more than 20,000 brokers and agents participating in courses in 2020. Throughout the past year, over 17,000 CE credits were issued which was a 36% increase compared to the previous year. This year, FMLS has performed well in its first quarter and has already surpassed $8 billion in transactions, which is a 32% increase in dollar volume over the previous year's first quarter. Currently, the database's DOM is at seven for all listings at all price points, which is a significant first for the listing service. Over the past month, there has been a small 1% increase in new active listings as inventory is increasingly sparse. Comparing the median home sales price of this year to 2016, there is a substantial jump in appreciation from $189,000 in 2016 to $310,000 in 2021. Since the previous year, residential detached listing prices are also up by 16%. “There's still an opportunity for homeownership as long as you can get the agent to find the inventory out there. And we try to get the agents tools so they can farm virtually now, they can look at seller's scores,” said Crawford. “We're giving those tools now to our agents so they can see in a neighborhood which out of all the 200 homes has a seller's score that's high because of some of these factors that we're now getting.” This year, FMLS also introduced Remine Docs+ transaction management, which allows agents to farm a neighborhood and receive nationwide pack state of access to view properties anywhere throughout the country. This enables agents to provide a listing presentation to a homeowner and easily proceed from their discussion to creating and signing an exclusive listing agreement with eSignature, placing the listing on FMLS, accepting offers and closing through an entirely virtual process. With the Docs+ platform, there has been over 700,000 transactions in six months. “Mobile is so important as well as virtual open houses and we've baked all that into these tool sets so agents can do everything from their phone and do everything electronically,” said Crawford. “We've really upped the game with what we provide and all of that is a member benefit.” Launched for sellers that need assistance with home staging, Coming Soon is another program from FMLS that allows homes to be advertised to buyers before it is actively selling on the market. With low inventory rates and demanding buyers, Coming Soon allows homes to be registered with FMLS before sales to provide agents and managing brokers with sufficient time to adequately prep...

In the last episode, towards the end, I was talking about the reasons why you should NOT make a 3rd party platform like Udemy your main course delivery platform. I talked about the first 3 reasons. Now here's reason #4 why you should NOT make a 3rd party marketplace your main course delivery platform. They have restrictions on what kind of emails you can send to your buyers. From what I've read, most of these marketplace platforms will not allow you to send your buyers links via email that lead back to your site. You cannot send out other offers of your own or affiliate links. Your access to your buyer's list is very restricted, and your email list that you build on such a platform cannot be downloaded, imported into another system, it cannot be sold as part of your company if you end up selling your company. So this rented list is not a true asset for your business. Reason #5: Instead of building your own business, you are essentially building THEIR business. They are the ones really getting a paying customer. They're just paying you a small commission, for all practical purposes. They are the ones who can continue to market other courses to your buyer. For LIFE. They are building an asset off of YOUR back. It's their lifetime customer value that keeps going up, not yours. #6 why you should NOT make a 3rd party platform like Udemy your main course delivery platform: A lot of the stuff on Udemy is coupon-driven. Udemy frequently offers up 100 or 200 or even 300 dollar courses, for just 10 dollars. And it feels like this "buy any course for 10 bucks" promo happens like almost once every couple of weeks. Of course, as a seller, you would need to opt in for this promotion. So you basically have to tell Udemy that it's ok for them to promote your 300 dollar course for 10 dollars. And then they practically spam the heck out of all their buyers - which, remember, includes your buyers as well. I won't lie to you - I myself have purchased a couple of courses on Udemy after they dropped from a few hundred bucks to just 10 bucks. And as a seller, it's tempting to opt in to this promo, because you know Udemy is marketing the heck out of these 10 dollar courses, and you certainly don't want to be left out. But guess what? If the course sells for 10 bucks, then you're probably going to get paid 1/2 of that, because remember, it's not your promotional effort - the 10 dollar promo is their promotion. And you can't maximize the transaction by upselling them or add them to your list and market them other stuff. Guess who gets to do all of that? Udemy, of course! Finally, reason #7 to not use a marketplace platform to build your long-term business: They don't allow you to sell recurring subscription products. Not as far as I can tell. Just 1-time products. So this whole miniseries is not really about picking on Udemy. In fact, if were to ever use a third-party marketplace, I would pick udemy over all other solutions out there. What I'm talking about is strictly about not focusing on a third-party marketplace to build your entire membership business. Basically, I'm telling you to stop renting and buy a house. That's all. So you could technically replace everything I said about Udemy and replace it with any of the other 50 course-creation web sites that are out there. I just use Udemy in my examples beacause it is the most popular one. There are so many out there, that I found an article online that lists all of them. And I will link to it in my show notes. Some of the names are: Ruzuku, Teachable, Skillshare, Digital Chalk, Mindbites, Mindflash, WizIq and on and on and on. Now, let's flip the coin and see what's on the other side... You can use Udemy and other such online course creation platforms as a marketing tool - maybe repurpose some old content, old videos, and see if you can leverage that massive organic traffic that you can get from them. And you can try to fly under the radar and using bonus lessons and other tricks, see if you can get them over to your web site. If you have to tiptoe around too much, then I don't know if it's worth it. Because for all that time and effort, you would be better off creating maybe a podcast, or creating any number of courses within your own content library, where even if you sell it for 5 bucks, you get to keep the entire 5 bucks. And if you used a membership plugin like DAP, then you can make each buyer into your own affiliate, and you can offer THEM commissions to help you promote your product. Every member becomes an affiliate, they promote it, bring in more buyers, then each one of THOSE people becomes an affiliate and brings in more members, and so on. A massively viral marketing opportunity using an affiliate program. And you can use all of that to build YOUR own business, and not the business of somebody else. So before I conclude, let me talk about WHEN and WHY it is a great thing to use Udemy.com #1) Marketplaces like Udemy are great if you're just getting started, don't have an established name or brand. And you're trying to build a name for yourself. And you want maximum exposure for your brand. In that case, create a free course. And then create a more expensive course, make it worth a lot - like 100 or 300 bucks. And then participate in all of their promotions, because at this point, making money or building a successful business should not be your goal. Your goal is to get your name and your brand out there in front of as many people as you can. #2) Getting that kind of exposure will help you get noticed, help you build authority, if your course gets thousands of students, you can leverage that exposure into becoming a mini celebrity. Use that as a testimonial - 5,000 students on Udemy with high ratings - and you can go as a guest on other podcasts, write a book about how you created it, create an online course about how you did all of this, then use that in order to help others with their marketing, and so on. So if you don't have your own web site, then marketplaces like Udemy can be a great starting point to go where there's already traffic, and create your presence. Just like renting a store at the mall, where there are already so many buyers. Like selling on Amazon. Like putting you podcast on iTunes. Like writing a blog post on Medium.com, rather than on your own blog. So to leverage a large, built-in audience, that's where Udemy and other marketplaces are priceless. But you have to know where to draw the line when it comes to renting versus owning. And unless you bring it all back to your web site, you don't have a successful, long-term business. And you sure as heck cannot sell recurring subscriptions on most of these marketplaces. So remember, out of the 3 ways to host your membership site... 1) A Self-Hosted WordPress Site 2) A fully-hosted membership site, and 3) A third-party marketplace like Skillshare and Udemy The absolute best option, in my humble yet spectacularly wise and intelligent opinion, is to have your own WordPress-based site running on your own hosting account, running a membership plugin like DAP, where you OWN and have full control over your content, your members, your affiliates, your emails, the payments... basically everything. And THAT is how you build a successful, long-term profitable online business.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0118 And It Will Be An Interview With Jason Sturgeon From Arcade Consultants The first step of every client’s journey with me is the initial conversation. Whether across a table over a cup of coffee or lunch, on the telephone, or across distance via Skype, it’s important, as a consultant, to have a deep, meaningful conversation about what an organization needs, how it breathes and what the working pieces are, before we can talk about solutions. The exchange of information, during these chats, is not one sided, either. Prospective clients need to know more about me. Who am I? What, exactly, do I do? How do you know that I’m the right consultant for your organization? Over the course of many of these conversations, it has become clear that the first few questions are always the same – clients need all the same answers before they are ready to move on to the part of the conversation that pertains more directly to their own situation, and I am happy to have that discussion. However, it recently occurred to me that if this is the first information that clients look for when they get me on the phone, perhaps it’s information they should have access to before we even get to that first conversation. In that interest, I offer, Arcade’s FAQ: What qualifies you to be a consultant? What experience do you draw from when you give companies advice?I started my career in construction when I was 15 years old, installing roofing and siding for my brother’s company over the summer to pay for my college education. While I learned about construction management in school, I worked my way up through the ranks of first, my brother’s company, then a local builder of vacation homes, only moving into construction management after I finished my degree. As I worked in construction management, again moving upward from project to project, I found that my experience in the trades was a huge asset, because it gave me a perspective that few of my coworkers had. As I completed each project in my construction management career, I gained confidence in my skills at inspiring and collaborating with the team around me, and by the time I was managing my own projects, my teams were the envy of the organization – tight knit groups who knew how to communicate, delegate and most importantly, they knew how to succeed. It brought me a great deal of satisfaction, building that kind of work environment, but at the same time, it was frustrating, looking at the company around me and seeing all the work that needed to be done. The decision makers at my place of work were well aware of the success of my projects, and wanted me to help them build that kind of morale and productivity on a bigger scale, and asked me to collaborate on several initiatives, but in the end, all my ideas got bogged down in inefficient corporate processes, and as ‘just a PM,’ I just didn’t have the pull to get any significant changes made. So I decided to take my show on the road, and help other companies to build the kind of success that I’d only had the power to effect on a small scale as a PM. Now that I am consulting, I find that both tracks of professional experience, trades and management, give me a unique insight that lets me see the companies I help from a variety of angles and communicate freely with team members at all levels of the organization. Being able to spend my days helping people to make their workplace a place where everyone wants to spend their time is something that brings me a great deal of satisfaction, and I feel that I have a unique perspective at bringing unconventional solutions to the table. The first, obvious question that prospective clients ask me is “Okay, so you’re a consultant. What does that mean? What kind of problems do you solve?”I like to think that there are few problems or issues that I don’t solve. In fact, if I had to boil my service down to its essence, problem solving is what I provide. From clear, concise training on practical issues, review of accounting systems, IT troubleshooting and management, HR issues, morale, team building, company culture, and even smoothing interpersonal conflicts and communications issues in the workplace, I try to offer help solving any problem I can see. While I offer a lot of the usual, expected services, in many ways, the most satisfying aspects of my work often come in solving unexpected, previously unrecognized problems. For example, I recently interviewed a promising, motivated young woman who was struggling with morale and her team, and over the course of our meeting, it became clear that while her comprehension and ability to speak English was quite good, her accent was proving to be a barrier with her coworkers. I did some research and found an accent coach with a proven track record in helping people in just such straits. When I reported back to the company owner, I recommended that the company pay for the employee’s coaching, and give her time to devote to her studies during a small portion of the work day. Not only will this send a message of warmth and support to a young employee who has been feeling isolated and not a part of her team, it will help to improve her productivity and boost morale all around. It’s a win-win situation that the employer is more than pleased to implement, but the solution hadn’t occurred to anyone involved. So while I provide many services, in many spheres of business, I think my most unique and perhaps my most valuable service is that of finding problems that have not yet been defined, and offering solutions that lift everyone in the equation. Another question that I hear from many prospective clients is “What makes you unique – how are you different from other consultants?”One of the factors that makes me unique, in my experience of the consulting field, is my experience in the trades. I recently had a conversation with an attorney in the construction field, and I suggested to her that she spend a certain amount of time every month, shadowing employees in the trades. There is a perspective you gain, when you have actually spent time ‘in the trenches’ so to speak that business school can never impart. Another difference, based on conversations with clients who have had previous unsuccessful experiences with consultants in the past, is my transparency in process. At every stage of the process, I build estimates of what any given service will cost, and give the client the opportunity to decide precisely what services they want to purchase, and then if that hourly total ever gets close to the estimate without a successful resolution, I go to the client and we talk about why we’re looking at a higher price and whether they want to proceed. By giving clients a high level of control over what they spend, and plenty of notice about what numbers they’ll be seeing on my invoice, we avoid that sense of ‘sticker shock’ that can be so common in the consulting business. The next question I hear most often, is “What kinds of companies do you work with? How do I know if my company can benefit from your services?”The first and foremost thing that a company should consider is that a company who is ready for my services is a company who is ready to put in the requisite work to effect change. Change, even very good and necessary change, is not comfortable, and it’s not easy. Companies who are looking for a quick fix, for that ‘one cool trick’ that so many web ads promise, who are not ready to roll up their sleeves and work to build something better and stronger are not ready for the coaching I provide. Hearing a laundry list of all of the weaknesses of the organization that you have worked hard to build is not easy, and looking ahead at the effort and the sheer labor of the job before you can be daunting. Luckily, the second truth of hiring my services is the fact that my companies are never alone in this process. While I fully expect them to carry out the work of rebuilding, I also am with them every step of the way, offering solutions, options, ways to streamline the process of change, and a certain positivity that can be worth a great deal during times of hard work. I find that often, it isn’t so much the amount of work to be done that deters people, it’s the sense of not really knowing what to do, or how to proceed, and that’s something I can help with. Finally, companies considering my services should know that when you invest in my services, when you invest in me, you can expect me to invest in you. One of my training sessions talks about finding out why your employees come to work every day. The first (mistaken) answer that everyone offers is that people come to work for the paycheck – that they show up for the money. My response to that is that there are a lot of ways that most people could make a dollar – but day after day, they choose to get up and bring their talents to your organization. Why? Finding that answer is the heart of building a workplace that is populated with an interconnected team of empowered individuals, rather than an assembly of widget-makers. That same principle applies to you, and it applies to me. There’s a reason why we do what we do, day in and day out. Sure, I need to pay my bills, but that’s not why I do what I do. The reason I am in this business is because I am invested, in every single client who comes to me, whether it’s for a full scale overhaul or to resolve a specific acute issue. I find the motivation to get up every morning knowing that I’m going to meet with someone who was stressed, overwhelmed and ready to give up last month, but today, is relaxed, confident and breathing easy, thanks to my input, or I’m going to hear from someone who called me in a panic last week with a heated dispute, and is now back on track, mending the work relationship with that contact. Your victories, whether minor or game-changing are my motivation, and you can count on me to help you win them. “Okay, let’s say I’m ready for change. What, exactly, is it that you do?”Whether a company is a small operation with only a few employees or a big corporation with sophisticated HR needs, I have services to offer. Whether you have serious, functional issues and need a heavy duty overhaul or just need a light tune-up, I can offer the level of solutions that you need. Whether you are local and in need of extensive on-site intervention, or whether you are located on the other side of the country, and better served by webinars or online training sessions using systems like Mindflash, I have the interpersonal and technological savvy for the job. The most important factor is that you are ready for both the effort and the discomfort of change. Again, I pride myself on offering a vast array of services and coaching. However, to simplify it for the purposes of this question, we could look at my website, where I organize my services onto three separate pages: Full Scale Business Consulting, Training and Dispute Resolution. The lists of services for each heading are actually fairly long, so I’ll spare you listing them here, though you could get a more detailed view by checking out www.arcadeconsultants.com and looking under those headings. However, Full Scale Business Consulting is just what it sounds like. I perform a complete analysis of a business on a variety of levels from nuts and bolts aspects like accounting and IT to business practices like Mission Vision Values, safety policies, and marketing, through human resources concerns like morale, organization charts, social media and a good deal more. I prepare a report that outlines all of these aspects and then the decision makers and I develop a plan for moving forward that includes coaching at every stage of the process. Under the Training heading, I offer a variety of different training modules, from understanding Contracts and Change Orders, through using various software solutions and conceptual topics like communication, company culture, learning styles and time management. Finally, under Dispute Resolution, I offer services in helping with resolving various matters, in either a mediation role, or as a negotiator – anything from something as simple as writing a letter to as in depth as providing comprehensive substantiations and risk analysis workups.
