When other agents slow down, you don't have to.Keep talking to people. Keep following up. Keep solving problems. Keep doing the work closest to the money.The harder the problem, the fewer people willing to solve it—and sometimes, the bigger the opportunity on the other side.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How Kelli went from survival mode to consistently closing dealsWhy “everything is figureoutable” became more than just a motivational phraseHow solving difficult real estate problems can create disproportionately large opportunitiesHow Kelli changed personally as her business began to changeWhy the fall and holiday season can be an opportunity to gain ground instead of an excuse to coastConnect with KelliPhone: 484-643-8758Hit Chris up: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCraddockBusiness/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craddrock/RESOURCES: 

Master the Four Core Skills Top 3 Reasons Prospects Don't Join Our Team and How to Overcome Them episodeSkill Study Group Free Magic Words for Prospecting audios 

Three-time President's Club winner Charlotte Johnson breaks down the exact prospecting process she uses to work her territory, prioritize the right accounts, and consistently build pipeline. She shares how she segments accounts, researches Tier 1 prospects, leverages signals and partners, writes messaging, and organizes her calendar so prospecting actually gets done.

Consistency is one of the biggest differentiators between agents who talk about prospecting and agents who actually build a business from it. In this episode of the REDX Podcast, Tyler Fenn sits down with Kent Brown, a licensed real estate agent, REDX team member, and Listing Academy trainer, to break down what it really takes to make prospecting a consistent part of a real estate business. Kent shares lessons from years of prospecting and explains why success isn't about finding a secret script or waiting for motivation; it's about making the calls, tracking the numbers, and staying committed to the process.Kent and Tyler dive deep into Kent's experience making tens of thousands of prospecting calls, including a 100,000-call challenge that he ultimately stopped after 53 days because the volume of leads and resulting business became difficult to manage alongside the challenge. They discuss how roughly 50,000 calls produced around 4,800 conversations and nearly 200 hot leads, as well as how Kent has generated more than $300,000 in commissions from those calls. The conversation also explores why agents should give prospecting enough time to produce meaningful data, why "data removes emotion," and how accountability can turn motivation into discipline. Kent explains his approach to expired listings, the importance of tracking activity over several months, and why doing the work long enough is essential before deciding whether a prospecting strategy works.Here's What You'll Discover in This Episode...• Why consistency matters more than motivation when building a prospecting business• How Kent's 50,000-call experience generated thousands of conversations and nearly 200 hot leads• What Kent learned from attempting a 100,000-call challenge in 100 days• Why tracking your numbers can remove emotion from the prospecting process• How accountability helps transform motivation into daily discipline• Why agents should give a prospecting strategy several months before judging its effectiveness• What makes expired listings a predictable prospecting opportunity when you understand the homeowner's mindset• How consistent calling can create a pipeline that continues producing opportunities over time• Why doing more and doing it long enough can be more valuable than overanalyzing every strategy• How Listing Academy teaches Kent's expired prospecting system from start to finishJUMP TO THESE TOPICS00:00 –

Most real estate agents know what they should be doing. Make the calls. Follow the schedule. Track the numbers. Have the uncomfortable conversations.So why do so many agents stay stuck?In this episode of the Uncommon Real Estate Podcast, Chris sits down with Kevin Franklin, a military veteran, real estate investor, and licensed agent in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, to talk about the shift that changed the trajectory of Kevin's career.Kevin shares how he went from accidentally becoming a landlord to intentionally building a real estate portfolio—and some of the painful lessons he learned along the way. But the biggest lesson was about fear, identity, and action: once Kevin changed his identity, committed to a schedule, started time blocking, consistently made the calls, and focused on bringing value to people, his momentum began to change.Connect With Kevin:Phone: (240) 642-8213Email: kevin.franklin@thereduxgroup.comConnect with Chris:Instagram: @craddrockFacebook: Chris Craddock BusinessRESOURCES:

What if your real estate videos could bring you hot leads, closed deals, and clients who already feel like they know you before they ever call? In this episode, we break down how YouTube for real estate can help agents generate leads without relying on cold calls, door knocking, postcards, or expensive ads. You'll hear from Heidi Hines, a real estate agent with nearly 30 years of experience, who started making real estate videos only recently and quickly began seeing results.Heidi shares how she built her YouTube channel, generated 76 real estate leads, closed three deals, and had one video reach more than 95,000 views. She also explains what it is like to get real estate leads from people moving into a new market, why YouTube leads can feel much warmer than traditional leads, and how she is now referring business to other agents because the leads are coming in faster than she can handle them.If you are new to YouTube, this conversation shows why you do not need to be a professional video creator to get started. You'll learn why consistency matters, how real estate videos can help people get to know you, why personality can matter more than having the perfect video, and how YouTube can become a simple part of your real estate prospecting strategy.======Learn how to get Sellers from Your YouTube Channel: https://listingsleadmachine.com/optinSchedule a Call With Us to Discuss Partnering With eXp - https://bit.ly/PassiveProspectingPartnershipHere's the link to try a free trial of Channel Studio: https://linkless.io/egH8eaGet Our New Book - https://bit.ly/PassiveProspectingBookJoin Our Community for Free!: https://join.passiveprospecting.com/?utm_source=podcast

The following article of the Entrepreneurs industry is: “B2B Prospecting 2026: AI, Intent Data, and Hyper-Personalization” by Cristian Martinez Roldan, Country Manager, Open English Business. (AA1583)

Sales prospecting and lead generation are the lifeblood of any thriving sales career—but they're also some of the most misunderstood and mismanaged aspects of the job. Carole Mahoney, Darryl Praill, and Tim Hughes share insights that challenge traditional mindsets and equip listeners to approach prospecting with precision, empathy, and creativity.   We explore the necessity of ongoing learning, time-blocking for prospecting, and seeking support from peers. My experts also discuss the risks of overvaluing a single champion in the sales cycle and the power of humanized content to generate authentic engagement on social media.    Outline of This Episode   [04:59] Improving email outreach strategy [09:15] Losing an unexpected deal [12:34] Effective social networking strategies [16:21] Finding out all about your client's why [18:56] Using social media prospecting [20:29] Humanizing content for prospecting Cadence Creativity & Customer-Centric Outreach   Carol Mahoney opens with a fresh take on the essentials of prospecting. Her first commandment: never "set it and forget it" with your outreach cadences—every sequence deserves refinement. She cautions against careless copy-paste errors and the classic mistake of making outreach messages too self-focused, stressing the power of speaking to the customer's problems and industry context.    Carol's checklist encourages iteration, reflection, and resilience. Perhaps most memorably, she shares a story of transforming a client's cold email from company-centric to customer-driven, resulting in nearly double the response rate. Her closing advice is crystal clear: "keep it brief, keep it about them, and always aim for meaningful, smaller asks."   Mastering Mindset    With trademark candor and energy, Darryl Praill names learning, time-blocking, and asking for help as the top habits of high-performing prospectors. He refuses to accept excuses and warns against putting all your eggs (and hopes) in one champion's basket when navigating complex sales. Darryl addresses the overlooked art of asking for referrals and the pitfall of undervaluing yourself in conversations. He candidly shares a humbling loss in which overconfidence blinded him to the broader decision-making team—an experience that underscores his golden rule: map the whole account and never stop multi-threading your relationships.   Connection & the Human Touch   Tim Hughes dives into the art of creating buyer-centric social profiles and building a network that truly remembers you. His three do's: a relevant profile, genuine network growth, and memorable, strategic content. He draws a sharp line against "social spamming"—pitching immediately after connecting on LinkedIn—and instead champions authentic relationship building.    Tim gives practical advice, from using a real, distinctive profile photo to writing a "why-driven" summary that sparks curiosity. His standout story shares how a single, heartfelt LinkedIn post about his teammate's personal experience generated thousands of views, C-level conversations, and closed deals.  Resources & People Mentioned       Connect with Carole Mahoney   Carole Mahoney on LinkedIn  Carole Mahoney    Connect with Darryl Praill   Darryl Praill on LinkedIn  Darryl Praill on X  Connect with Tim Hughes   Tim Hughes on LinkedIn  Tim Hughes on X    Connect With Paul Watts    LinkedIn Twitter    Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com  

The market may be tougher—but that doesn't mean you have to struggle with it.In this episode of the Uncommon Real Estate Podcast, Chris breaks down what separates the agents who thrive in changing markets from those who get left behind. It starts with your conversations. While an average salesperson may ask only a handful of questions during a prospecting call, top salespeople dig deeper to uncover what their clients actually want, what's holding them back, and how to help them move forward.Chris shares how to talk with buyers who are waiting for prices or interest rates to fall, why asking questions is more powerful than arguing with objections, and how reviewing your own calls can dramatically improve your sales skills.Connect with Chris:Instagram: @craddrockFacebook: Chris Craddock BusinessRESOURCES:

There's a fine line between healthy competition and crossing the line, and it's a conversation our industry doesn't have often enough. Today, I'm unpacking the realities of poaching, prospecting, and what ethical business development really looks like in property management. Building a business should never come at the expense of your reputation, and the way we win clients says just as much about us as the results we achieve.I share my perspective on where prospecting becomes poaching, why relationships and integrity matter more than quick wins, and how businesses can grow sustainably without compromising their values. I also explore what to do if you lose a client to a competitor, how to respond professionally instead of emotionally, and why playing the long game almost always pays off.If you've ever questioned the right way to approach business development or wondered how to stand out in a competitive market without resorting to questionable tactics, this conversation will give you plenty to think about. My hope is that you walk away feeling more confident in building a business that attracts the right clients, earns trust, and creates long-term success the right way."The best protection against ever losing a client isn't a tighter contract or a better exit clause. It's the relationship... because nobody can poach loyalty." - Kylie WalkerWe cover:Discussion of client poaching in the property management industry.Distinction between unethical poaching and ethical client retention.Personal experiences of losing clients, including both ethical and unethical scenarios.Importance of nurturing client relationships to prevent loss.Ethical strategies for growing a property management business.The role of visibility and community involvement in attracting clients.Leveraging referral relationships for business growth.Utilizing existing databases for potential client outreach.Importance of responding effectively to inquiries and maintaining a strong reputation.Emphasis on building strong relationships as the best defense against client loss.A big shout-out to our amazing podcast partner Ailo.Ailo is an Australian property management software and app designed to streamline communication and payments between property managers, owners, and tenants.

This episode of Sales Reinvented dives deep into the essential do's and don'ts of prospecting and lead generation with advice from three industry trailblazers. I host Bill McCormick, Mary Grothe, and Tony Hughes to help you transform cold outreach into meaningful connections and qualified leads. You'll hear their top do's and don'ts for successful lead generation, compelling real-world sales stories, and get their lessons learned from overcoming challenges in the field.    Outline of This Episode   [01:49] Nurture prospects on LinkedIn by providing value and insight without pitching  [05:05] Navigating lengthy sales processes [08:23] Strategic prospecting and lead generation [12:31] Building lead gen strategy [14:48] Time block prospecting and outbound activities  [13:23] Aligning Strategy with your target audience [19:02] Leveraging existing client relationships   LinkedIn, Patience, and Nurture   Bill discusses the power of leveraging LinkedIn for more than just cold outreach. He recommends connecting with all your clients on the platform to expand your prospecting potential and insists on building a clear ideal-client profile to sharpen your targeting. Nurturing relationships over time—without jumping straight into a pitch—forms the cornerstone of his methodology. On the flip side, he cautions against using impersonal connect-and-pitch tactics, being fixated on closing rather than conversing, and trying to rush prospects through the sales funnel. Patience and persistent value-driven follow-up can turn long sales cycles into lasting business wins. Own Your Pipeline   For Mary, successful prospecting begins with actually doing the work and being radically customer-centric. She underscores the importance of authentic, warm messaging—regardless of your outreach medium—and stresses the need for a quantifiable, strategic approach that aligns with your sales goals. Her top don'ts are not to skip prospecting, resort to robotic or spammy tactics, or blame marketing for a lack of leads. Mary's story about refining her own inbound strategy is a great blueprint for adapting messaging and targeting the right persona, showing that retooling your approach based on hard lessons can lead to a stronger, more effective funnel.   Time Block, Talk Results, and Embrace Sales Hygiene    Tony shares his mantra: time-block and truly execute your outbound efforts. He stresses the need to "nail your narrative" by focusing every conversation on the prospect's world and their opportunities for improved results. Tony warns against the pitfalls of talking only about your own products, making excuses, and skimping on sales processes or CRM practices. His real-life client story illuminates the power of monitoring trigger events and leveraging referrals—not just to secure new business, but to protect and expand existing relationships. By covering account risks and opportunistically following key contacts as they move into new roles, he demonstrates that proactive, value-led prospecting is the fastest route to revenue.

In this episode of the Coffee & Questions podcast, I sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, and Founder of Kingdom Alliance, Michelle Schaffer, for one of the most heartfelt conversations we've had on the show.Michelle's entrepreneurial journey spans more than 25 years—from building a thriving career in the beauty industry and earning millions in network marketing to creating a faith-based leadership company centered around purpose, identity, and serving others.One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is Michelle's perspective on prospecting. Rather than viewing it as selling or convincing people, she challenges us to see prospecting as an opportunity to connect, serve, and build genuine relationships. It's a simple shift in mindset that has the power to completely transform how we approach business.We also dive into the role faith plays in entrepreneurship, why authentic human connection will always outperform automation, and how AI should enhance relationships—not replace them. Michelle shares why becoming a better communicator starts with understanding the person you're speaking to, and how serving first creates stronger businesses, stronger communities, and a greater impact.This episode is a powerful reminder that the best businesses aren't built on transactions—they're built on trust, service, and a genuine desire to help people.Connect with Michelle SchafferWebsite: https://kingdomalliance.com/Connect with Michelle:Website: https://bermanmediapd.com/Instagram: @BermanMediaSocialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTgG-BvwWOQ_jEYDZ-gKVxQNeed a Dynamic Speaker for an Event or Group?

What if the biggest opportunities in your life aren't about talent, but about visibility? In this episode of the Passive Prospecting Podcast, I share the incredible story of singing the National Anthem during America's 250th Birthday celebration at Ellis Island and the lessons it taught me about creating opportunity instead of waiting for it. If you're building a business, growing on YouTube for Real Estate, or simply trying to stand out in a crowded world, this conversation will change the way you think about success. Most people believe extraordinary opportunities happen because of luck. I don't. They happen because people consistently show up, become visible, and keep putting themselves in the right rooms. Levi Lascsak and I discuss why visibility creates opportunity, why competition shouldn't scare you, and how small actions can completely change the direction of your life and business.

You're grinding harder than ever and your production is still going down. If you're using a virtual assistant for real estate prospecting and still doing half the work yourself, you're solving the wrong problem.High-level agents solve the biggest problem in the equation and delegate everything else. Most agents are stuck doing courthouse runs, organizing spreadsheets, manually pulling probate leads, and presenting offers the second they hit their inbox, all while their prospecting block gets eaten alive. That's not a work ethic problem. That's a systems problem.In this office hours session we break down exactly what needs to change:✅ Why real estate prospecting systems built around expired listings are giving you diminishing returns and what to switch to instead✅ The $2 per file courthouse model that handled probate prospecting at scale without the agent touching a single spreadsheet✅ How to use a virtual assistant for real estate prospecting the right way, what to outsource to Upwork, what to hand to a managed ISA company, and why doing it in-house usually costs you more than it saves✅ The real reason expired listings vs probate is not a close comparison anymore and what the data from the last 24 months actually shows✅ How real estate time blocking protects your prospecting hours when everything else is screaming for your attention✅ How to handle the commission objection without internally wincing and what the right mindset shift actually looks like✅ Delegating real estate tasks to the right people so your margin goes up while your hours go down✅ How to structure motivated seller leads conversations so you know whether you are looking at a retail deal or a creative deal before you ever pitchYou solve bigger problems, you get bigger checks. Stop carrying what someone else can handle for $2 a file.

If your prospecting isn't producing results, chances are you're making at least one of these five critical mistakes. In this episode, Ray Higdon lays out the exact prospecting errors that silently drain sales from network marketers and direct sellers every single day, and gives you the practical fixes to start turning things around immediately. Ray walks through each mistake with the clarity and directness he's known for. Not talking to enough people is the foundation. If last week's outreach numbers were in the single digits, your income will reflect that. Not following up persistently means leaving money on the table. Ray shares the story of a prospect who said no seven times before eventually joining, building a six-figure income, and going full-time since 2011. Judging who to prospect before even asking them lets your assumptions steal your pipeline. Making the prospect the prize by chasing, begging, and coming across as desperate flips the power dynamic in the wrong direction. And the deepest mistake of all is focusing more on your solution than on the problem the prospect has actually stated. That approach comes across as pushy every time. The real game-changer Ray unpacks is the difference between persuasion and manipulation, and how asking the right questions to expand a prospect's problem is what moves people to action. He illustrates this with a real conversation that took a prospect from "it'd be nice to make more money" to "I have to do something about this" in just a few focused questions. If you want to close more sales, this episode will show you exactly where to start. —

Deep in the Richtersveld, where the Orange River cuts through some of the oldest, driest land on Earth, there is a cave the locals call the Bottomless Pit. They say it runs sixty feet straight down before it opens into the dark — and that it is the source of every diamond South Africa has ever surrendered. They also say something guards it. Something forty feet long, with diamonds set in its eye sockets, that leaves a trail three feet wide in the river mud and never, ever leaves the print of a foot.   This is the Grootslang — the "great snake" — and tonight we're separating the legend from the legend. Because the elephant-serpent monster you've seen online, the one the gods supposedly split apart at the dawn of creation, isn't the real story. The truth is older, quieter, and far more frightening: a creature that prospectors tried to dynamite out of the rock, that the Khoekhoe and the settlers both feared, and that may have swallowed a real man whole in 1917 — at least, that's who the desert decided to blame.   Pour something strong. Mind the water's edge.   #FreakyFolklore #Grootslang #SouthAfricanFolklore #Cryptid #Cryptozoology #Folklore #Mythology #Richtersveld #Monster #ScaryStories #Horror #Legends #Paranormal #OrangeRiver #DiamondCurse #Africa #FolkloreHorror #CreatureFeature #UrbanLegend #Eeriecast   Tonight, on Freaky Folklore: The Grootslang — South Africa's diamond-hoarding serpent of the Richtersveld. We trace the creature from the prospecting camps of the early 1900s to the cartoon that rewrote its mythology, and we follow the 1917 disappearance of Peter Grayson into the place where folklore is actually made.

Episode 656 Schedule a one on one free coaching call, click here or visit LoanOfficerStrategyCall.com. Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl White sits down with Mike Steplowski to explore a fascinating real-world experiment involving artificial intelligence, outbound prospecting, and real estate agent relationship building. Mike shares the early results from testing an AI assistant that makes outbound calls to qualified real estate agents with the goal of scheduling introductory Zoom meetings. Carl and Mike break down the numbers from the first four days of testing, including hundreds of outbound calls, appointment-setting results, and the surprising discovery that a simple invitation to connect dramatically outperformed traditional "value add" sales messaging. Their discussion challenges one of the most common beliefs in mortgage sales: that loan officers must lead every conversation with a compelling pitch or offer. Throughout the episode, they discuss how AI is changing the way loan officers can approach prospecting while still maintaining the human relationships that ultimately drive referrals. Mike explains how the AI assistant handles conversations, how appointments are scheduled, and why personal follow-up remains a critical part of the process. Carl also shares insights from decades of real estate agent prospecting experience, including why qualified agents should always be the focus, how persistence plays a major role in generating referrals, and why many loan officers give up long before meaningful relationships have time to develop. Together, they examine how technology can support proven prospecting systems without replacing the personal touch that creates trust. The conversation also dives into practical lessons learned from the experiment, including appointment no-shows, follow-up strategies, scripting adjustments, and future testing plans. Mike emphasizes that AI should be viewed as an enhancement to existing prospecting activities rather than a replacement for the daily disciplines that successful loan officers already practice. If you're curious about how AI can fit into your business, looking for new ways to create conversations with referral partners, or simply interested in where mortgage prospecting is headed, this episode offers an honest look at what's working, what's still being refined, and what loan officers can learn from these early results.
