The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience

Tough market, you say? No time to mess around, then. I have one, two, three, FOUR of the most amazing women in real estate here in the studio to help me answer the questions, “How do we get those buyers off the fence, and how do we do it faster?” Sarah Allen, Jen Dillard, Keri White, and Glennda Baker not only answer that question – they do it with enough precision to leave time to talk about (obviously) time management and even to give you a few video tips.

Canada… The land of hockey, poutine, polite manners, and brilliant real estate marketing innovation.   This week I have four of our gigantic neighbors’ top agents – Steven Kim, Sean Ryan, Janet Miller, and Brad McCallum – here to talk about their iconic marketing moments.   Besides just marketing, our friends also have some killer advice on setting boundaries, creating a work/life balance, and refining your sphere.   You’ll be ‘surry’ if you miss this one, so make sure to watch or listen, and then share it around to some friends.

We all fall down sometimes, get into a mood or a creative drought. When things start to slow down, what is the fuel that gets you fired back up?

What’s the point of putting so much time into social media if all it does is get you likes? The thing is… social media DOES NOT get you business unless you position it to. This week, Jason Pantana is going to show you how to do just that, by displaying your menu of services and using CTAs to invite business into your life. Speaking of CTAs, I could tell you all about them here, or I could tell you to watch or listen for yourself.

Phil Gerdes has always been a super-scaler, Rockstar agent. But this last December, Phil attended a particularly intense mastermind that changed his entire approach to video, branding, and communicating to his audience. As soon as he returned home, he called an emergency meeting with his entire team to tell them that everything was about to be different.   And the results have been extreme. His following has grown almost 50x what it was just a few months ago, and he’s become something of a local celebrity where fans approach him on the street. This week, Phil shares with me his secrets for building this kind of reputation and how you can replicate it.   The most amazing thing is his secret might almost seem like it has nothing to do with real estate at first. This is not one to miss, so watch or listen, right here, right now.

Do you run a team where your agents aren’t performing at a top level? Are you starting to build a team and aren’t certain of how to onboard your agents? The first thing you need is a coach. The second is to listen to the process Steve Rovithis uses. Steve runs one of the biggest “teamerages” in the country, with over 120 salespeople across four regions. It’s not surprising that Steve studied biology in college, because he has a fundamental understanding of how things grow, and this week he spoke with me about how to grow an army of happy, rich super-agents. If you’re interested in growth, implementing training, or working in a success-driven environment, you gotta check this one out, right here.

We see ads everywhere, all the time, every day. Most of us feel like we’ve become immune to advertising… until suddenly we’re not. Why do some ads work on us while others become white noise? It’s not by accident. This week, Jason Pantana is going to take you through the different types of digital ads offered by Google and social media, then give you five strategies to fill the content of those ads and reach a wider audience. If you’d like to get better results from your digital advertising, make sure to watch or listen, now.

Most of the time, questions are just questions. You ask them when you want answers. But sometimes the way you choose to ask yourself a question is the answer itself. Could changing the tone of your questions change your life? It’s up to you.

This week, we’re talking about a unique (and potentially more powerful) form of confidence. Dan Prud’Homme is a master salesman. He always said he only wanted to sell and had no interest in managing. But then something happened, and now Dan is running a super successful “teamerage” where he devotes all his energy to helping other agents discover their own power. I sat down with Dan expecting to talk about how to close more deals, and he definitely delivers that. But what he also delivers is a secret which goes way beyond making money. Dan’s advice has the potential to make you more confident, happy, and caring in every aspect of life by allowing you to connect with others on a deeper level. Listen to Dan’s voice and watch his face, and you’ll understand the truth behind what he says. I guarantee this one will make you smile, so check it out, right here.

Times are changing all over the country. In Austin, Texas, there are close to 15,000 licensed agents, and last year they all had to split an inventory of just around 900 homes. As you’d expect from this kind of market, the top 10% of agents rise to the top and close nearly all the deals. So, how do we get into the 10%, and even better – how do we stand out as the luxury agent of choice? Discussing this question with me is Monica Fabbio. We’re talking big money sales and how Monica is managing to double her sales in this tough market.
