We all want to generate a ton of motivated seller leads, but using radio? Yes, radio may feel a bit antiquated, but according to Chris Arnold, most real estate owners are over 50 years old and still listen to the radio. According to Nielsen, even beyond Chris' expertise, radio listening is on the rise, and people are tuning in with greater frequency to news/talk formats. Those with greater spending optimism are more likely to be heavy AM/FM radio listeners.Radio advertising provides high-quality leads, as the people who take action and call you are serious about doing a deal. And since most investors are using the other strategies where they are less qualified or serious about doing a deal, it could be more efficient for you and your team.Chris is the owner of Wholesaling Inc and the creator of the REI Radio program. He works with clients to get 100 ads per month, per station, for about $1,000 to $2,000 per month.

Welcome to the Deals Today podcast. I'm your host, Paul, with realestateaudios.com, where we jump into the guts of what's working in real estate today. Today's guest is a very special one. I had a lot of fun with it because he's an interesting dude and he is the coach, one of the coaches, for Wholesaling Inc., Chris Arnold. Chris, he is their... he hosts the podcast for Wholesaling Inc. He also is a coach, like I said, and he also runs their REI Radio program, which is a program we're going to talk about in the interview. Paul: Like I said, he's an interesting guy because he has four businesses that he runs, that he's built up. He has a brokerage business. He has a wholesaling business. He has a mastermind that he runs and he's also a coach for Wholesaling Inc. He does this all. He runs all four of those while in the Caribbean's in Mexico. He does it all virtually. We talked a lot about that. We talked about how to run a wholesaling business virtually. We talked about what type of people to hire, how to manage them and we also talked about what to do in today's market, because as you're listening to this, it is the height of the pandemic. Paul: Hopefully, by the time you're listening to this, things have flattened out in the US. We talked about the changes that he's made currently in the business and how it's done very well for him. Things that you can do today. Very simple things that you can do like, he went completely virtual now in his business. He does not meet with sellers or his acquisitions managers I should say, they do not meet with sellers, buyers don't see the houses and he does this all very well. We're going to talk about how he manages all that, some of his lead sources and his business structure as well, what his business structure looks like from the bottom to the top. Paul: Stay tuned for that. Listen in on that. It's a long one with a lot of information.

Chris: I started real estate 15 years ago. I got my feet wet on the retail side, so became a real estate broker first. That was my step into the investment side and then we actually started aggre

In this episode, I am joined by Chris Arnold. Chris is the Co-Founder of COSA Investments, one of the largest wholesale companies in the DFW Metroplex. COSA is operated and managed by a US virtual team which has allowed Chris to run his company while living in Tulum, Mexico. He is also the founder of Arnold Elite Realty which is a cutting-edge boutique brokerage consisting of a team of seasoned agents. Most recently Chris has launched his REI Radio coaching program. This program is designed to teach real estate investors the marketing stream that everyone knows about, but NO ONE is doing! Chris contends that having a real estate business can afford people freedom of time, freedom of resources, and freedom of location. Even though he started traditionally by representing buyers, Chris soon branched out and has become very successful in one of the most cutthroat markets in the country. As we are currently in a sellers' market, the real estate business is very competitive, but people who are building their businesses now are in great shape and poised to really thrive. This is why I wanted to talk to Chris about his business processes and how he promotes and grows his business. I asked Chris to explain to me his business flow from the point of when they first get a lead. He used the analogy of the bus. You have all the seats on the bus that need to be filled (referring to positions that need to be filled in your company), but as the boss you have your butt in each one. As a leader, Chris said quickly find that you need to “fire” yourself as quickly as possible from each seat by finding a more qualified person for that particular spot. This can be humbling, but is necessary for him to be able to operate his business at the visionary level. Chris stressed that they have had to develop really good systems for every aspect of their company's process, and he pointed out that EVERYTHING is a system, even a routine as simple as getting up in the morning. Some processes they have implanted which have proven to be very successful are answering calls live and not allowing them to go to voicemail, having their prospecting assistants pre-qualify leads, and upon discovering a hot lead, the call is transferred automatically to the acquisition manager. They do this using Grasshoper software and you can find the website link at the conclusion of these show notes. Chris said they do not contract any properties without first doing an inspection, so the acquisition manager will recommend which ones need to be scheduled. They employee their own inspector, so the whole process can be complete within 48 hours. Whenever possible, the acquisition manager will complete the deal over the phone, again to decrease time delays and increase scalability. When I expressed surprise at their company's ability to close deals over the phone, Chris said it all starts with belief. People in this business need to overcome the myth that you have to meet in person and begin to develop their skills for connecting with people over the phone. Of course, he says it is not black and white and that older people may need a handshake and smile, but even if 50% of their business is done over the phone, that markedly increases their scalability. They employ two full-time people responsible for closings and pushing deals through the title companies, and a director of dispositions who is solely responsible for re-selling properties. All of this allows them to boast of a contract to close period of 23-25 days, when most companies are more in the range of 50-75 days. I then asked Chris how they are finding your leads and he talked about the four marketing pillars they concentrate on: online marketing, direct mail, co-wholesaling, and their most effective strategy, radio ads. Chris pointed out some interesting facts about radio ads including how there is virtually no competition in this medium, it is cutting-edge for finding property, it is a trusted vehicle for advertising, and fits well with their target audience of consumers 50+ years old. They have found that when you advertise on radio you have instant credibility and achieve something akin to celebrity status. After quite a lot of split-testing, Chris has found that they get far more leads with the ads he has recorded himself versus using someone well-known, with a recognizable voice. I asked Chris to tell me about some of the lessons they have learned about radio advertising in the nine years they have been using it. He said the biggest thing is that people automatically assume they cannot afford it, but like with real estate, they do not pay retail for airtime. Chris says the key is to do research and find the pertinent reports on a station in order to negotiate effectively. Like anything else, being an intelligent buyer is incredibly important. We then discussed other ways of finding deals, including co-wholesaling. We compared our experiences and stressed that it is about control. I talked how in my company we require the other person needs to stop marketing the property and cannot accept other offers after our company takes control of the contract. This is so important in maintaining good relationships with other people. Chris talked about how they are always proactively building relationships with other wholesalers in what he termed the “learn/earn model.” Other people will bring him deals and he will educate them along the way, because they stress the importance of caring about growth of others and how it adds a lot of value to their own business through networking. Chris has found that the return of investment for radio ads is now similar to what it used to be for direct mail. There are a couple of advantages to utilizing radio rather than other methods, such as it is not list-dependent, is low-maintenance, and it hits a wider audience. I asked him how often he changes is radio ads and surprisingly he said they have basically run three ads in nine years. Again, split testing shows the repetition of a precise message becomes hypnotic and is very effective. Chris spoke about how people who are new to radio can get intimated because of all variability, but like he stressed earlier in the show, it works to your advantage when you can hire someone experienced in this arena. His company has branched out into assisting others in exploring and getting started with this type of marketing. Chris said those who are interested in are welcome to visit his website at wholesalinginc.com/reiradio and book a consulting call. He finished up by stressing how important it is to figure out what works in this competitive market and to differentiate yourself, doing the little things that matter so much to achieve success.
