Prime big deal days is coming. Tiktok shop is starting Black Friday early. A 2% fee going away at Amazon. These new stories and much more on this edition of the Helium 10 Weekly Buzz. How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the series sellers podcast by Helium 10. I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our Helium 10 Weekly Buzz. We give you a rundown of the new stories that are going on the Amazon, wall art and e-commerce world and we give you training tips the week that will give you serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. Let's see what's buzzing this week. All right, we got a lot of new stories. Let's go ahead and hop right into it. Bradley Sutton: To the first one here that is actually from seller central. You might have seen it in your seller central news section and it's entitled. Customers will now see sales trend For your eligible listings, as product listings for certain categories, including health and personal care, home and sports, will display a sales trend and Basically it's kind of like in the format of 10k plus bought in the last month. In case you guys haven't seen it. You know it's been. They've been doing tests on this a lot. You'll see right here It'll say like 50 plus bought in the past month or a hundred plus. You know the bigger listings will say 10,000 plus and there's been different tests going on Amazon where you might have seen it was weekly. Sometimes it'll show views. But this is now official. This is no longer a test. Amazon is rolling this out. Does that make the helium-tent chrome extension unnecessary for sales estimates? No, it's interesting to note that this is not even a sales estimate. What it is the number of customers that have purchased this product in the last 30 days. So that's just interesting itself. Bradley Sutton: If you want a, if you're a mathematical person or you just want to dive a little bit more into All of the frequently asked questions like is it at a child level? Is it at a variation level? Is it the last 30 days? Is it the last calendar month? You know what does this mean for customers? How come my listing doesn't see it? I do a super deep dive. That's like six in the morning right now when I'm recording this. Bradley Sutton: I stayed up the whole night actually doing this blog. I haven't even slept yet, but if you guys please reward me for my hard work. The data science team did a good job. You know getting me some data and I put together this blog. Go to helium10.com/blog and it should be probably at the top of the search results there, helium10.com/blog. Click on the one about the search or sales trend data and You'll get everything you needed to know and a whole bunch of stuff. You didn't even want to know about this new thing, but it's actually very interesting. I think it could be cool for customers, could be cool for sellers as well. Bradley Sutton: All right, the next news article today is you know, we talked about this a little bit earlier this week, uh, on our Tuesday podcast. By the way, guys make sure to check out that Tuesday podcast. It was a breakdown of the entirety of Amazon Accelerate. Uh, you can catch that episode at h10.me forward slash 493, uh, where we talk about Amazon Accelerate. But anyways, in that podcast I said, hey, prime big deal days is coming. It's going to be October 10th to 11th. It's kind of like you know different kind of prime day. Amazon, you know, says here in the news that you know the, the, the FBA inventory date for prime big deal days has passed. So if you try and get some inventory and now it might not make it, but you can still participate in prime exclusive discounts, uh, coupons. Obviously you know sponsored ads. So I'm just curious what? What are you guys going to be doing for, uh, prime big deal days? Uh, are you doing any lightning deals? You just doing some coupons, heavy PPC. You know it's kind of something newish. You know it's not the regular prime day, so a little bit of uncharted territories, but probably similar to that second prime day that we had last year. All right, uh. Bradley Sutton: Next article up here is from dexterto.com, I don't think I've ever quoted this uh news source before, but their article was entitled tick tock shop to rival Amazon with early black Friday day deals, all right. So this is interesting because they're actually going to be starting a black Friday deals as early as October 27 and they're trying to move $20 billion. Uh, it said this holiday season. You know, the tick tock shop debuted in the U? S earlier this September. We kind of talked about that on this show and, uh, be interesting to see what's going to happen. You know how many, how many of you are selling on tick tock uh shop out there and are you guys doing anything special for Black Friday? Bradley Sutton: Another uh, there's a lot of Amazon announcements going on um, at some kind of like release event and, anyways, this news article is from tech crunch and it's entitled Amazon brings generative AI to Alexa. Now, this article has nothing to do with Amazon. You know FBA or prime or anything. So you might be wondering why in the world am I linking to this article? Well, this is something I've been talking about for I don't know maybe a year or so, where my, my theory has been that once. I mean that's not my theory, I mean it was Amazon said they're bringing generative AI to Alexa. The part that was my theory was that, hey, once that starts happening, as it starts developing, the shopping experience is going to become exponentially more robust on Alexa. Like, the shopping experience for me right now in my Lexus is like sucks, like it's impossible to buy stuff, and so I don't think a lot of Amazon sellers are optimizing enough for Alexa. Like you probably should, but if you're not, you're probably okay, all right Cause, not that many sales are coming from Alexa. But now, with generative AI perhaps giving Alexa a boost, I would say that you know, this year we are going to start seeing some, some, some more people shop on Alexa and you're going to have to start thinking about, you know, optimizing your listings a little bit more for the Alexa experience, all right. Bradley Sutton: Next article up here is actually from Amazon and it says Amazon is hiring 250,000 employees for the holidays, making it the largest annual investment in US hourly wages. Now it's interesting this is not the most they've hired, right? They say the largest annual investment in hourly wages. That's because minimum wage is ridiculous these days. I think this article talks about how they are actually the average hourly pay for these seasonal workers $20.50. That's crazy. $20 used to be like you've got a really good job and can support your family, like 10 years ago. Now $20 is like the grunt work in a warehouse kind of insane. But anyways, I always like looking at how many employees Amazon hires for the winter because it kind of like shows what their projects and are going to be Like when they don't hire hardly anybody. It's like uh-oh, there might be seen some signals where sales aren't going to be that much during the holiday. $250,000 is a pretty robust, hefty number there, so it'd be a good sign. All right. Bradley Sutton: Next article is from Yahoo Finance and it's like it's kind of like fake news If you can hear in my voice, guys, if you're listening to this on your car or something, if you're watching this, you obviously can see my face. This is ridiculous. This irritates me about news. It says Amazon drops planned merchant fee as FTC lawsuit looms. So right off the bat. The title is like trying to paint this as something like Amazon is running away with their tail between its legs because of this FTC thing. But it has, in my opinion, literally nothing to do with each other. Right, and it's not even that big of a deal, that whole FTC thing. But that's a side topic. We've already talked a lot about that. But in this article listen to this, guys it says effective October 1st, amazon was planning to impose a 2% fee on every sale by third party sellers that ship their products themselves. Guys, that is 100% incorrect. Yahoo, you know you're not some blogger. I mean, get your stuff together. This is not right. This 2% fee was only for those sellers opting into seller fulfilled prime. Seller fulfilled prime is where you get the prime badge on your listing. As long as you're able to deliver to a customer within a few hours or within a day, or within two days and hit the the certain metrics, all right. This was not for all people doing fulfilled by merchant, like this stupid article is saying. And the rest of the article goes in this tie in the FTC thing like it has anything to do with that. So it doesn't. But the bottom line is that if you were planning to enroll in seller fulfilled prime, you don't have to pay the 2% fee, as Amazon had announced. And Amazon did announce that the reason why they're taking away the fee had nothing to do with FTC. But they're like hey, you know, we want this program to succeed, so we want to go ahead and take away that fee to get some more people involved in the program. Our next article is from seller central, or actually the last article of the day, and this is just something simple. We've been talking about this for a couple of months now. How? October 3rd, there's going to be new listing attributes, so this, this go around, has a 213 product types are going to require it. So if you just if you want to check if this is going to affect you, just going to your seller central dashboard, there will be a link to this article in your seller central dashboard and then you'll be able to see which product types you might have to take care of. So that's it for the news today. Bradley Sutton: You guys have been asking for us to get on different platforms that we weren't on with some of our videos and lives and content. So one thing just keep in mind, guys we are now on Twitch, all right. So if you guys have Twitch, we're going to stream our first training next week on twitch.tv. But you know, you guys probably use Twitch on some kind of app. I just look for @helium10software on Twitch. @helium10software. Bradley Sutton: We're doing a live broadcast next week about a new tool, new features that that helium 10 is coming out with. And also, if you guys are on Twitter we're not doing too much on Twitter, but right now I'm going to start, you know, maybe tweeting a little bit more. Find us at @H10Software all right, @H10Software on Twitter. We're also going to be doing live broadcast from there as well. All right, now for our training tip of the week. If you're wondering how to do product line extensions or perhaps find new ASINs that you can target in your product targeting ads, there's a certain tool that you can use in Helium 10. Carrie's going to show you how to use it in 60 seconds. Carrie Miller: Today I want to share with you a little strategy on how to find some good products to target with your pay-per-click advertising. It's actually using our BlackBox tool, which is kind of the last tool that you probably would think about, but I'm going to show you how to do this. The first thing you want to do is you want to log into your Helium 10 account and go to black box and then, under black box, you're going to click on product targeting okay. So once you're in product targeting, then you're going to take whatever ascent it is that you are going to try to, you know, boost your PPC. So this is your product I'm putting in our coffin shelf right here, and what we're going to do is we're going to click on search, okay, and this is going to actually come up with a bunch of similar products, and the idea behind this is that once you find a lot of these similar products, kind of in the same niche, you could potentially advertise on these and they could be kind of compatible products. Carrie Miller: So, if we look, we've got, you know, like a web floating shelf, which would be a great way to, you know, advertise on that. We have a bat shelf, we've got some mirrors that you know could potentially be a good target audience. So there's a lot of options in here that you can utilize to test this out and, you know, see which one of these is a really good idea for product targeting. In addition, as you can see, there's a lot of really cool product ideas. So if you did actually want to take your ascent and put it into BlackBox, under Product Targeting you can actually see similar items so that you can actually expand your brand and, you know, reach your the same customers that you have within your own brand. So basically, for our coffin shelf, something like a you know 3D large school ice cubes is definitely the same target market. So it's in a really simple tool, the product targeting, but it's so great for optimizing your pay per click advertising when you're doing the ascent targeting and you can also find some new products that you could potentially start selling on Amazon. So check out product targeting in BlackBox and let us know what you think. Bradley Sutton: All right, thank you very much, Carrie, for that tip. How many of you guys out there are using the product targeting tab in black box? I hope you are and if you haven't been, hopefully you start using it today going forward. One last thing I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling. Probably, as this is airing, I'm about to take off to go to Istanbul for Friday. We might do a little mini meetup Friday night. So reply to this If you are in the Istanbul area. Bradley Sutton: I'll be in Maldives this weekend recording episode 500 of the podcast. On October 17th and 19th I'll be in Vietnam, both in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, at an Amazon conference. Just go to h10.me/vietnam If you're interested in tickets there, and then directly from there. On the 19th to the 23rd I'll be in Seoul, Korea, Amazon Seller Kingdom Conference. You can find more information on that h10.me/kconference for that one, and then I'm flying directly from there to New York, amazon unbox. It is now officially sold out for in person tickets, but if you just search for Amazon unboxed New York, you'll be able to get virtual tickets to that event. And if you're in the area on the 23rd we will be doing a Helium 10 Elite workshop for Elite members, but if there's not enough Elite members who go, I might open up some scholarship spots for some of you out there. Anyways, guys, that's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed the news. We'll see you next week to see what's buzzing.

I went on a deeply healing, fun, and life-changing plant medicine journey about a week ago. This experience was led by a professional and held in a ritual fashion. Everyone was safe, taken care of, and chose to go on this joinery for their own reason. This is my fresh summary of the experience.  While more and more breakthroughs and awareness keep coming, this was my first unscripted sharing the experience with the public. This is not meant to encourage anyone to do plant medicine or other drugs or substances but to share my experience. I am not a shaman or a doctor, and everyone needs to consult their support systems, doctors, healers, and therapists before embracing these types of experiences. I hope you enjoy this share, and if you have any questions, you can always contact me.

Check it out below: Nick Prefontaine (00:00:00) - Our success rate of our buyers. We're we're seeing it. GS Up to 90% of them that are once they're in the home, they're able to qualify and get their own loan and move on with the home, um, move on with their lives where as the other investors out there, the, the, the so-called competition um is seeing the inverse right. 90% of the people fail and only 10% of the people and that's because there's a very particular process that we'd like to put all of our buyers through so they're successful when they get to the end of their agreement.   Sam Wilson (00:00:38) - Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Nick Prefontaine was named a top motivational speaker in 2022. He is also a real estate investor. Nick, welcome to the show.   Nick Prefontaine (00:01:01) - Sam I'm excited to be here and with your audience today.   Sam Wilson (00:01:05) - Absolutely. The pleasure is mine. Nick In 90s or less. Can you answer these three questions for me? The same three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show.   Sam Wilson (00:01:13) - Where to? Just start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Nick Prefontaine (00:01:17) - Uh, where where did I start? Gosh, I would say back to that fateful day in February of 2003, I was just club with my friends. Uh, got to the mountain, headed right for the top and charged towards one of the biggest jumps in the terrain park and going off it, I caught the edge of my snowboard, threw me off balance and landed on my head. Uh, the doctors told my parents that I probably wouldn't walk, talk or eat again. And, um, let me see. Less than 90 days later, I ran out of the rehab hospital in Boston.   Sam Wilson (00:01:55) - Wow. Won't walk, talk or eat again. 90 days later, you're running out of the hospital. What has happened between I guess that would have been middle of April 2003 and now.   Nick Prefontaine (00:02:09) - That's right. Middle of April. Yeah, you got it right. Um, a lot has happened. I was. I was.   Nick Prefontaine (00:02:14) - I was trying to give you the CliffsNotes version, but a lot has happened. I, um. I actually, when I was in high school, and it was really reflecting on it. Sam back, it's. It was reflected back to me from a mentor of mine. She said, Wait a minute. So only 18 months after finishing rehab, outpatient rehab, I was knocking on the doors of, um, notice the default doors of homeowners that had missed a few payments all the way up to several payments on their home, and the bank still foreclosed on them. So that was how I got my start in real estate. That was when I was 16, right when I got my license. And then, um, after I after I got out of high school, started starting to get my real estate license. Uh, got it. And when I was 19 years old and that led me to doing what I'm doing today, which is helping buyers and sellers. Um, we buy and sell property on terms creatively, so not conventionally.   Nick Prefontaine (00:03:18) - And you can do that with that. We can, you can do that with anything, as I'm sure you're aware.   Sam Wilson (00:03:23) - I am. I am. That's a really fascinating, fascinating story. So 18 months after rehab, walk, talk, eat again, 90 days later, you defied really all expectations. What would you attribute that to?   Nick Prefontaine (00:03:40) - Uh, well, all right. So this is something that we recently developed within the last year, which is the step system. And it's something, it's step is an acronym. It's something that I unknowingly use to recover from my snowboarding action and what we've created, um, and the acronym stands for Support, You get to make sure you have the support of the family and friends around you. Um, this has you pulling back on relationships that you built prior to your setback, and then t is trust. You have to trust that the next step is always going to be available to you, so long as you take your first step is energy without maintaining your energy.   Nick Prefontaine (00:04:28) - Um, you're not you're not a good use to anyone. You've got to maintain your energy, um, to get to get to that next level. And finally, persistence. And this is just a Cliff Notes version, but, uh, p this is a 10,000 foot view, but P is persistence. Once you've taken your first step, keep getting up every day and taking your next step, no matter how small. So that's something, that's something that, um, that I did unknowingly when I was in the hospital and what we've recently uncovered. Um, so yeah, pretty exciting, man.   Sam Wilson (00:05:04) - That's cool. I love that. What? Let's go back to the I know the you probably have more lessons to share with us maybe than the time in the hospital, but I think that's probably a fairly, um, memorable time for you. Like at what point in time? Or did you ever go through that period where it's like, Oh wait, there's a realization that things may never be the same and then how did you deal with it?   Nick Prefontaine (00:05:33) - Yeah, that's a great question, Sam.   Nick Prefontaine (00:05:35) - So I would say when I was going through it and anyone that knows from going through a traumatic experience, time slows down. So although it was I was in a coma for three weeks, I really don't remember a month because it was partially induced because they had to induce me because they worried if they didn't, I wake up and freak out and the swelling in my brain would increase and I would die. So it was really less than 60 days. But those less than 60 days felt like six years. Just time time slows down when you're going through an experience like that. I don't know. I see you nodding your head. Um, so I don't know if you can relate to that or not.   Sam Wilson (00:06:22) - Well, I've never had a traumatic brain injury per se, but certainly I think everyone's encountered something at some period of time where you wish there was a fast forward button and you're like, Oh my gosh, can we not? This is painfully slow. Yeah, And you just went out. That's it.   Sam Wilson (00:06:43) - I think there's that period where you just want out. So yeah.   Nick Prefontaine (00:06:46) - And to answer your question head on though, it's just bubbling up to me. Uh, there was so from the moment that I, that I remember the first moment that I remember, um, was the third floor when I was transferred to the rehab hospital in Boston. I was initially put on the third floor, which was reserved for the most critical of cases, and I hardly have any memory of being on the third floor because they were in the process of taking me off the drugs and medication. Um, when I first like kind of got my bearings and my surroundings, I just got up and kept doing the best I can and kept getting better every day. And a big thing, the reason I was able to do that is because when I was in the coma, my parents, the doctors would come in to share like news, worse and worse and worse in the beginning. And they came into my room to share it in front of me.   Nick Prefontaine (00:07:45) - Even though I was in a coma, my parents knew that I was still taking information. So they said, No, no, not in front of him. And they made the doctor's walk outside to share the information. So I didn't know any better. I just as soon as I was aware of my surroundings, I got up, um, took my next step and I kept getting better every day. Um, there was one moment, though, which was in between my therapy, so I would get up in the morning. I would need help from a physical therapist helping me to shower and learn because I lost everything. So I didn't know how to do anything. Sure. So I would do that and then I would have physical, occupational and speech therapy. And after which you broke for lunch. And there was a there was a time on one of those days early on in my recovery, I was in my hospital room. I was in a wheelchair. I still couldn't really talk, wasn't really audible.   Nick Prefontaine (00:08:41) - It was, if anything, a whisper was coming out and I was looking over my situation. Sam and I just. I turned my mom who was who me every day. That was part of my support system. And I said, Am I? I just couldn't figure it out. For whatever reason, I was having a moment of doubt, I guess you could say. I was like, Am I ever going to be able to walk again? And she looked. She looked at me and right away didn't even hesitate. Of course you are. That's what we're doing here. So you can get everything back and we can go home. And that was the only moment of doubt that I can say that that happened when I was in the hospital. Everything was just I got every day was, all right, what do I do next? What do I do next? What do I do next? And um, when I got home, it was really no different. I, I had to be tutored even though it was at school, because I got, I got out of the hospital at the end of April.   Nick Prefontaine (00:09:38) - I had to be tutored because I had lost so much time and wasn't able to be in regular classes with my classmates. So I got tutored for the rest of the school year and then all summer long. Um, in order to move on to high school with the rest of my classmates. Wow. So let me take a breath there. No, that's throwing a lot of information at you.   Sam Wilson (00:09:59) - No, it's a great story. I mean, that's. It's. It's inspiring. And it certainly one of those the one of those stories of perseverance, I think. I love the idea of the step that you put in there first is having that support. And I think you and you sound like you guys have rolled this out through your coaching program as well, if I'm not mistaken, using this same kind of process for. Can you hear me?   Nick Prefontaine (00:10:26) - Yeah, No, I got you.   Sam Wilson (00:10:28) - Okay, cool. I'm sorry.   Nick Prefontaine (00:10:29) - The glasses. Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:10:30) - Gotcha. I thought you were giving me, like, the.   Sam Wilson (00:10:32) - Hey, I can't hear you. Fine. You're good. Which is fine. Here, we'll hit time out there. Matthew, if you want to delete that. He is. Matthew's the the editor. We can just wind that back a few seconds. Let me jump right back in here. In a couple of seconds, we'll give him a pause so we can find the find the break. It seems like you guys have rolled out this step program or the acronym you use for step, not just for you and what you do on the coaching side of things or on the motivational speakers side of things. But you've also rolled it out inside of your business because I think these things kind of all they parallel, do they not, between the support, trust, energy, persistence, like those are those are four things that everybody needs to be successful really in anything they're doing.   Nick Prefontaine (00:11:19) - Yeah. You know what? When I had a mentor year and a half ago reflecting this back to me, the step system, what I actually did and everything, she was it was the whole reason was saying because she said to me, Well, okay, you ran out of the hospital, but how'd you do it? I said, I don't know.   Nick Prefontaine (00:11:36) - I just I got up and did it, like, did it. And there's just that's the mentality that the step system is how I've tackled, um, and been able to overcome and succeed with anything in my life. And it's really so it's really something that has been instilled in me. Um, and it's the way I was raised and like that, my upbringing. So that's how I've always dealt with things. Um, and now, now I'm, I actually started a company a year over year and a half ago now calm and goal, which we lead people that are going through a trauma or life challenge through the other side and then they can thrive with the rest of their lives. But this step system is something that we all naturally do. When I when I go like this and say we all mean like at smart real estate coach, it's just like the way the way the only way I know. Um, so it's just like continue to take your next step, but specifically the step system.   Nick Prefontaine (00:12:45) - Yeah, that's a common goal. Um, but it's, it's something that I've done my whole life.   Sam Wilson (00:12:50) - You're called on to speak as a motivational speaker. You, we were talking about this off air is that there are brain injury, traumatic brain injury associations that will say, hey Nick, can you come talk to us or come, you know, share? What are some of the things that you find are consistent themes that you talk about that resonate the most with the people that you are sharing with?   Nick Prefontaine (00:13:18) - So depending, depending on the amount of time I have because, um, like tonight I'm going to be doing for speaking for the Brain Injury Association of Ohio, and that would be a 45 minute version of my keynote. Um, and then when I spoke at the Brain Injury Association of Maryland in March at their annual conference, that was a 60 minute version. And the, the only difference is in what's so exciting to me about the keynote is I get to share that step system and go into detail, um, like really drill down and go into detail about how they can apply it to their lives.   Nick Prefontaine (00:13:59) - So, um, the common theme that I'm seeing is people come up to me after I've, I probably have, um, on average, like 10 to 15 people come up to me after and say how much, um, my story and the subsystem, um, help them see through what they're going through and they're going to go back and um, really try to drill down and download because it's free. It's a free e-book step is a free e-book that I give away on my website, which I can give it to you after to throw on the show notes. But um, yeah. So just excited as you can say.   Sam Wilson (00:14:43) - Absolutely. No, that's really, really cool. I love that. I love that. Yeah, that's. That's absolutely awesome. When did you so you've been in real estate? You know, I think you said 18 months after rehab, you're out knocking on delinquent homes with delinquent mortgages, whatever, delinquent payments of some sort, seeing if you can acquire those houses. What's your real estate journey been like inside of this? Because it sounds like, you know, real estate has kind of been part of what you've done really from the outset.   Sam Wilson (00:15:12) - I mean, gosh, 18 I don't know if you were still in high school when you started doing that or just out of. Yeah, but yeah, that's that's pretty compelling. Tell us a little bit a little bit about your real estate journey.   Nick Prefontaine (00:15:23) - Sure. So that was it was actually the. So not the first summer after I ran out of the hospital, but the second summer I was my family was involved in real estate. So I, I had always been around in my whole life. However, I started to get the itch and I started going to my dad's library that second summer after I came home. And that would have been summer of 2005. And I started looking through his books and everything. And and I asked him, What is a book that you recommend If I wanted to like get started. And he said, Cashflow quadrant. So as I was reading through that, I came back to him and said, I want to I want to get involved. What do I do? And or how can I get started? And right around that time I was getting my license, my real not real estate license excuse me, my driver's license.   Nick Prefontaine (00:16:17) - So he thought it'd be a perfect fit because right on, right along that time around that time, they were starting to play with the idea of having bird dogs, lots of properties and knock on doors and set meetings for the investor to meet with these folks about potentially buying their homes. So I was like, Oh, awesome, that's what I'll do. So I had to go to school during the week, but on weekends and holidays I would usually pick 1 or 2 days out of a weekend and I would do like 50 to 70 doors. I go to cities where they were high concentration and I do these doors. Um, if you fast forward a little bit, I got out of high school, started starting to get my real estate license, and I got my real estate license and, uh, drumroll, please. Um, march of. 2008. Great timing. Great timing. Great time to get your real estate license. So, um, I got my real estate license and started selling real estate, helping buyers and sellers.   Nick Prefontaine (00:17:25) - As a realtor, I had all the people around me. Lamenting and complaining. Oh my God. The market used to be so good. Used to be so easy. You could do this and do that. I didn't know what they meant, so I. I just. That was the market that I. That I was dealt with, that I that I had to deal with. So I learned how to, how to help buyers and sellers in that environment and around we're not around. In 2014, my dad started buying properties 2013, 2014 started buying properties as an investor, and he asked me if I could help him with the marketing of all these properties that he was getting. I was reluctant, Sam. I was like, No, no, no. I got my own thing going on. I'm not looking for any any extras or anything. And luckily he asked me more than once. And so I started helping them with the marketing. Then the calls started coming in. He couldn't keep up with them, so he asked me if I could help out with the buyers.   Nick Prefontaine (00:18:26) - So that morphed in New and then over the years, I developed a process, a buyer process that we have to bring our rental buyers through so that they're able to qualify for their own loan once they get to the end of their agreement. And I think you can probably relate to this, but um, our success rate of our buyers, we're, we're seeing it, jeez, up to 90% of them that are once they're in the home, they're able to qualify and get their own loan and move on with the home, um, move on with their lives where as the other investors out there, the, the, the so-called competition um is seeing the inverse right 90% of the people fail and only 10% of the people and that's because there's a very particular process that we'd like to put all of our buyers through so they're successful when they get to the end of their agreement.   Sam Wilson (00:19:29) - Got it. No, that's really cool. And I love and it sounds like that's all you've done basically is some form of real estate really since high school.   Sam Wilson (00:19:38) - Is that a fair analysis?   Nick Prefontaine (00:19:41) - Fair statement?   Sam Wilson (00:19:42) - Wow, that's cool, man. Good for you. I'm not. People are not. Maybe they disagree or agree. I really don't care. But the I think college is overrated, to be honest with you. Like, you know, if you can figure out a path to go out and make a meaningful difference, improve people's lives, there's ample opportunity to get paid for doing so. And you definitely don't need to go to school for for that to happen. In fact, it probably gets in the way more often than not. So I'm always, always happy to meet another bootstrap for that. Maybe I think that way because that that was my story. Um, yeah. Anyway, love it. That's very, very cool. So you've been in real estate ever since then. You guys have worked out the buyer process, a 90% conversion rate. So for those of you who are listening, it sounds like you guys are doing lease options basically as one of your strategies on the homes that you're buying.   Sam Wilson (00:20:37) - So you're selling them on a lease with an option to buy and you're getting 90% of those to then convert to exercising that option to buy, is that right?   Nick Prefontaine (00:20:46) - Yeah. So we're we're buying we're buying properties creatively, so we're not going and signing personally and qualifying for loans or putting big down payments down or anything like that. Um, however we acquire them, uh, we're always selling them on a rent own agreement to our buyer. Right. Um. Very simple. Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:21:09) - Right. No, that's cool. I love that strategy. Do you guys employ that strategy at all in the commercial real estate space?   Nick Prefontaine (00:21:18) - We have? Yeah, we have. We've done several deals over the years with with commercial. The building that we're in is, was bought, um, with owner financing. I think my dad may have mentioned that. Yeah. Um, also there have been several buildings over the years in the state that we are right now, which is Rhode Island. And you can do this anywhere where we did mailers to, I forget the exact niche list.   Nick Prefontaine (00:21:48) - I think it might have been out of state landlords or something, but 4 to 6 unit buildings. We ended up buying two of those out of the mailings to to on two different occasions, buying them, um, improving the property, getting the rents up and improving the whole property and then selling them, buying them creatively and then selling them for a profit. So yeah, we've done a few commercial deals as well.   Sam Wilson (00:22:16) - Got it. I love it. Nick, I love your story. Thank you for taking the time to come on the day on the show today and share with us you've overcome incredible adversity. I have a very close friend of mine who something similar on a hiking accident fell in, kind of was told the same thing, but his journey was much, much, much, much, much, much longer maybe than yours was in getting out of the hospital and even surviving what's kind of a miracle, let alone being able to walk and talk again. So I think it's really cool that you have overcome that.   Sam Wilson (00:22:51) - You have found a process really that can be applied both to life, to real estate, to really anything you undertake. And I think it's really cool the way that you give back to the brain injury. Others that have, you know, endured brain injuries and giving back to brain injury associations, being a keynote speaker, you got a great story. And I also love what you're doing in real estate. And it's really cool the way that you guys are helping other homeowners, not just find and keep their homes when they are rent to buy buyers, but also just the way you guys are coaching and helping other people in the real estate space. So very, very cool. I love this. If our listeners want to get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?   Nick Prefontaine (00:23:30) - So if anything, if anything rang true with any of your listeners as far as on the business, on the business end, how we buy, how we buy and sell homes, um, creatively and our trademark prepaid system.   Nick Prefontaine (00:23:45) - Um, they can go to smart real estate coach.com and if they scroll down they can get registered for the free masterclass. And as I said, that's going to teach them about how we buy and sell on terms and our trademark three day system. Um, and then if they're interested in the step system and like following me with anything I'm doing with my motivational speaking or anything and that and that regard, they can go to Nick prefontaine.com/step. Um, and they can download the step system for free today and that will help them take their first step.   Sam Wilson (00:24:25) - Awesome. We'll make sure we include that there in the show notes. Nick prefontaine.com/stapp Nick thank you again for coming on today. It was an absolute pleasure.   Nick Prefontaine (00:24:35) - Always a blast. Thanks for having me.   Sam Wilson (00:24:37) - Hey, thanks for listening to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate podcast. If you can do me a favor and subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, whatever platform it is you use to listen.
