The Ninja Perspective on Pop-Bys In this latest episode of the Ninja Selling podcast, Matt and Garrett explore the topic of pop-bys, the marketing practice where agents stop by potential clients' homes or businesses to give them gifts and make a connection. Our hosts routinely receive many questions about whether pop-bys are considered a Ninja approach and are eager to provide their insights here today. Together, they delve into the importance of considering the intention behind gifts and how it can affect the impact on the recipient, noting as well the difference between a well-intentioned, personal gift and a branded item. They then dive deeper into this idea of value and the intention behind it, discussing the common pitfall of making things about oneself instead of others, and  emphasizing the importance of considering the value that a gift brings to others, especially in marketing. They touch on the thank you economy and the Ninja way of doing things, and refer to Gary Vee's book, "The Go-Giver" along the way. Our Ninja experts conclude that the key to successful marketing is to consider the value it brings to those who receive it,  and that the first question to ask yourself should always be "Does it add value?" rather than "Does it make money?" Another key to success is to join the community of almost 10,000 Ninjas who collaborate, ask and answer questions, network, and more in the Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook.

"If you're sitting here saying like, ‘I have stuff that I want to share with people that I think is going to change their life,’ it brings this better, different intention with it that can cause business to happen." "All of a sudden, we're all about them. We're talking about them." "The intention is about giving them something for them. It's not about something that has been turned into something about the real estate agent." "Liking something and truly embracing and loving something, and that being something that elevates you in their reticular activating system to send referrals are two totally different things." "This is an opportunity to be face-to-face with somebody, potentially have a conversation, or if they're not home and you're dropping off, create a series of interactions." "And the intention behind it is its value, and at the end of the day, is it about me or is it about them?" "The key to successful marketing is to consider the value it brings to those who receive it."   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study  

Acceptance Stage Management Matt and Garrett’s focus today is on the stages of grief and change, in particular, the stage of acceptance, in which the current real estate market finds itself these days. Together, they discuss the positive side of acknowledging where buyers, sellers, and the general population are in this stage, highlighting that this acceptance leads to the ability to move forward and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Throughout their conversation, our hosts delve into the theme of identifying and attracting true buyers in the real estate industry, and the need to understand the goals, dreams, and aspirations of clients in order to provide them with the right education and opportunities available in the market. They go on to provide valuable insights on the need for real estate agents to be in flow with their buyers, engage with their warm list, and provide quality education and support in order to help clients make informed decisions. As you will hear, the episode also emphasizes the need for agents to focus on attracting real buyers, setting expectations, and maintaining a positive mental attitude in order to achieve access.

Categorizing clients based on their buying potential Helping clients in their journey to becoming a buyer Having the right mindset ‘What you focus on expands’  The difference between wanting to be a buyer and actually being a buyer   Quotes: "It's like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel." "I know where we're going. I know what this looks like. I can now drop some of my confusion and move forward." "When it comes down to it, if there is confusion, you can't make a decision, you can't make the purchase." "If you're sitting there with all these 'but buyers can't buy right now'... you might be the killer of your own business." "These people who are having a great quarter right now... they're in really good flow with their people." "They're asking clarifying questions that are related to those buyers' goals of their lifestyle." "Until they actually put pen to paper and write a contract, that's the moment a person is truly turning into a buyer." "And I think it's important to look at your list and say, ‘Do some of these people just not even have the ability of doing that?’" "We do need to be careful about the people that we're dumping our energy into." "Be realistic with them, have some hard conversations, set them up for success." "We want to be attracting in more people right now. This is a highly, highly advantageous market for the referrals through the attraction side of the business." "It's proven time and time and time again. What you focus on expands."   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com   Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study  

Showcasing Your Value in the Digital Age As a realtor in the digital age, how exactly can you go about demonstrating value? Well, in today’s episode, Matt and Garrett explore that very concept. Together, they question the effectiveness of solely relying on social media to showcase awards and achievements and instead suggest alternative methods to truly prove your value to potential clients.  They stress the importance of engagement and validation in the world of business and social media, and discuss the benefits of showcasing others and gathering testimonials from satisfied customers. Rather than constantly promoting yourself, our hosts emphasize the significance of engaging in online forums in a way that benefits both the individual and the community. They also touch on the dangers of the "echo chamber", and the importance of having a plan for engagement to attract new clients, rather than solely relying on existing ones. If you are wondering how to demonstrate value in this digital age (and, really, who isn’t?), Matt and Garrett have the answer here for you today.

"It's just an online version of the public square." "The best way you can do it is to engage people, to have a conversation, to respond to them when they comment." "The intention sometimes behind people is, ‘I'm going to post this, people are going to see it, and then they're going to want to call me.’" "I don't have a problem necessarily here with people sharing stuff. I think it's great and I love to see people win. I really do." "People pay for something that brings them pleasure or solves a problem." "If people like to reciprocate when you're engaging them, they will then engage you." "You should be proud of your accomplishments." "What's really important is that we're not sitting here saying that if that's the stuff you're putting out, that it's hurting your business."   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study

"There's this philosophical difference which goes back to where we started this, of the ‘pursuit’ or ‘attracting’ mode." "In a marketplace where things are a little bit strange, things are a little bit weird, this is where that trusted person that has the 'providing the value; providing the reason that you are attracting these people in’ works." "With an attractive referral-based business… any marketplace that's in front of you, you have this system that works really well." "We have an opportunity in front of us with the attracting side of the referral-based business of Ninja to be like, ‘This is its place, this is its area.’"   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study

Reviewing Real Estate Reviews   In today’s episode, Matt and Garrett discuss both the challenges and benefits of conducting real estate reviews. They explain the two hurdles that agents often face: setting up the initial appointment and including relevant information in the review, and offer practical tips for overcoming these hurdles. Our hosts also emphasize the importance of real estate reviews for growing your business, even in a down market, and hint at the possibility of having experts on the show to share their knowledge on conducting successful ones. As they often do, Matt and Garrett focus on being a trusted advisor in real estate sales, stressing the importance of not just generating sales but also providing value to clients as homeowners. They encourage listeners to set expectations with clients with the right intention, rather than focusing on the outcome, and note that being a trusted advisor means providing valuable information to clients which, they suggest, can start by creating a review. As you will hear today, our Ninja experts have plenty of real estate review information, advice and resources to share that can help you grow your business and provide that all important value to your clients.

"The first hurdle blocks the majority of people... I think it's actually way more daunting than the actual material you're going to put together is making that initial phone call." "This is a crucial part of our system where you need to detach from the outcome because it's not about generating sales." "If your intention is pure, if you're saying, ‘Hey, I'm doing this because I want to provide value to these people, it's going to work.’" "It's not about you. It's not about the next sale that you're hopefully going to have or the referral you're going to get from them. It's about the great information you're sharing that they need to know as a homeowner." "The return on it is amazing, but it's a byproduct of you being a good person and helping people out."

Keeping Your Word   Garrett and Matt take the opportunity today to discuss a trend they have noticed lately around the concept of a ‘word of the year’.Despite the physical injuries that they are both dealing with these days, our hosts are excited to dive into this topic and share their observations about the patterns they have seen in the words people have chosen as their ‘word of the year’ in the past, and how those patterns may relate to the energy of the current year, 2023. Throughout the episode, Matt and Garrett discuss the importance of having a simple, overarching focus for the year, the potential benefits of choosing one word to encapsulate that focus, and how to choose such a word for the coming year. They also discuss how to use the word to reflect on past weeks for making changes to the present and future, and highlight the fact that it should be something that is looked at weekly and used as a guide for everything that is done. Listen in today to learn how to keep your word of the year simple, and always aligned with the goal of moving forward and creating a vision for the future.

Fishing in Your Database   In today’s episode, Garrett and Matt employ the analogy of going fishing in your database as a crucial aspect of the Ninja Nine system. They explain the importance of being specific in targeting your audience, how casting a wide net can lead to wasted time and effort, and that, if you really want to take your business to the next level, it might just be time to go fishing. Together, our hosts delve into the concept of looking for lead indicators in order to achieve your desired results in business, how finding the right clues can lead to success, and the importance of focusing on high dollar per hour activities to have freedom and time to do the things you love. Along the way, they touch upon life changes and the real estate market, warm and cold lists, staying in flow with people, and, of course, going fishing in the right spot every day.     Episode Highlights:   Fishing in your database Ninja Selling by Larry Kendall Being specific in targeting your audience Looking for lead indicators Focusing on high dollar per hour activities Focusing on specific people in your database  Learning the clues that cause business to happen Spreading yourself all over the place.     Quotes:   "I watch agents that are always trying to cast a wide net into the industry. They want to throw this huge net out." "It is an element of the Ninja Nine, and it is one of the most often confused parts of Ninja, I would say, because there is gray area that exists in this element." "And it's interesting when you're looking for results for yourself, all things have lead indicators that you can start to notice and go, ‘Oh, I saw this little thing happen and that caused this next thing to happen.’" "And when you figure it out in the warm list, it's like when you figure out in the river, you're like, ‘Well, that makes sense, why fish hang out there.’" "When you figure out those clues, spend more time there." "Go out for lunches, write handwritten notes." “If you are focused on these life changes, it does not matter what the rest of the market does. This is how you focus on your business versus focusing on the market.” “Let's talk about fishing for a second. There are spots in the river where the fish like to hang out. It's an incredible thing. There's parts of that river that see very little fish, and then there's parts where these fish just congregate.” “Focus on your warm list daily, right? Fish in that spot daily.”      Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli     The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study

Minding Your Own Business   The unpredictable state of the market may make some real estate agents nervous. And if you’re one of them, you should ask yourself: Are you in the driver’s seat of your business, or are you in the passenger’s seat?

Focus is the key to success and growth, so surround yourself with people who keep their eye on the prize.

Build a rock-solid business that stands the test of time Track your business metrics It’s your market versus your business Focus on your business     Quotes:   “Why are you spending so much time worrying about what's going on in the market? And instead, focus on ‘How is my business going to perform? What am I going to do to make my business work in any market?’” “The most successful people that I have known in this business or in any business, they don't care. They need to know what's going on in the market. They need to have an understanding of it. But when it comes down to them being successful in the market, that is not the deciding factor.” “When you look at your business, you're going to get thrown curveballs; the marketplace is going to change, there are going to be different factors, they're going to be tossed at us all the time. That's never going to change.” “Now it's your market versus your business, and it's up to you to decide which one you want to give power to.” “Success leaves clues. And I can watch any successful person in any given marketplace that is consistently successful, and I will tell you, none of them are banking their success off the marketplace. ” “Just mind your own business. Keep your mind, on your business, on your metrics, on what you're doing, and you will see success.”     Links www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial   Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching   Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events   Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding   Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli     The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study
