I left you a review

Ok, no shenanigans or anything here (that’s not the way I roll), I didn’t put “I left you a review” as the subject line to trick you.  I did it to share a simple and great idea that was shared at our Freedom Club meeting on Tuesday (that’s us in this pic).

I love the SIMPLE IDEAS THAT WORK and that somebody else can do for you, thus taking zero of your time, yet you get even more referrals… you know those leads that actually close. <gasp>

OK, here’s how it works.

Every time you have a closing, give the buyers’ agent, the listing agent, and the title company an on-line review.  You know, on FB, Google, Linkedin, basically any and every site that they have a profile (remember, an assistant can do all this for you… automatically).

Then, call them and let them know you enjoyed working with them and their team and that you left them a review.  In that call, just use a simple “call to action” to either have a coffee meeting or simply ask them for a referral…

Yeah, it’s just that simple.

Now, some less experienced LOs may think the ol’ fable of “I need to bring something of value before I can get a referral”…

… but see, that’s the beauty of this, YOU ALREADY DID GIVE SOMETHING OF VALUE..

You left them a review and you said, in a very cool way, that you liked them.

And we all know, people do business with people they like..

And people like people who like them.

Now one thing to keep in mind here, we only do this with agents that we actually liked working with.  If somebody wasn’t pleasant, well, don’t do this, because this strategy likely will have you working with them more… perhaps MUCH MORE.

If you catch their voicemail, simply leave a message stating what you did, that you would like to meet with them or, if they are further than you care to drive, that you would like to meet with them virtually or simply tell them you would like to work with them some more.

Then send them an email with the subject line “I left you a review” and just repeat the same message in the email.

I love these simple ideas that actually work, and the dude that shared this idea with us said it’s really a cool way to get referrals (and an assistant can do it automatically every time).

If you need any help with the scripting, or what to say during these “coffee meetings” (whether you do them face to face or virtual or simply on the phone) and actually get referrals from these meetings, just schedule a strategy call and I’ll totally hook you up <no charge>.

The key is to take action with this right now.  Whoever does “it” first and fastest will always win.  It’s not who does things best, it’s who implements the fastest.

Talk soon.
