Most stay-in-touch letters just come off desperate. This one really doesn’t though. We don’t beg old clients for referrals or anything like that. Instead, we give them the Local Legends Directory. It’s got plumbers, painters, contractors they can actually trust. No need to google the best handyman near me and hope it’s not some scam.   In this episode, I go over the exact letter I sent to past clients. Yeah, it has a QR code. It’s 2025, so we’re acting like those are still kinda cool.   You’ll pick up a few things here. How to write a client letter that doesn’t feel like a lame sales pitch. Why handing out a free resource works way better than asking for just one referral. How a QR code makes you seem like the agent who’s got their act together. The whole deal of being helpful without coming across annoying.   Drop a comment if you’d open this letter as a client. Subscribe for more quick strategies that actually help your business. And your sanity too.

People used to write actual notes back in the day. Instead of just liking stuff online. I do not remember that time either. But here is the deal. Handwritten notes still does the job. They work great in real estate. And in sales too. Pretty much any business where people come first. Nothing beats ink on paper for getting through all the clutter. In this episode, I talk about my 30 day handwritten note challenge. And why this small habit builds the strongest relationships in my work. It goes beyond simple thank you notes. You notice folks who need a boost. Or who deserve some props. And let them know you really give a damn. Oh and sending flowers does not hurt either. You learn how one note each day turns loose connections into clients for life. Social media posts give clues on who could use a card. Handwritten notes land harder than emails. Or those quick DMs. Being a dopamine dealer helps grow the business. Legally of course. No worries there. Drop a comment if a handwritten note ever stuck with you.

QR codes are not gone yet. Retailers keep using them, restaurants too, and even real estate agents are bringing them back in a fresh way. One of our agents put together a list of smart ideas for them. I went ahead and added some of my own thoughts to it. Skip that old stuff about just scanning for contact details. It gets old fast. What I mean is QR codes that link straight to your newsletter sign-up, or your YouTube videos, or that calendar for booking times. Those simple black and white squares end up handling a lot of your marketing work for you. Today I go over some easy QR code tricks that feel creative. You can grab them and use them starting today. You will pick up how to make a business card pull in leads like a magnet. The best spot for a QR code at open houses comes up too. Events paired with QR codes turn into real referral winners. Plus ways to link your offline world with online stuff. All without coming off dull. Share your top QR code idea in the comments below. And make sure to subscribe.

Forbes put out these five ChatGPT prompts. They make the whole home buying thing less of a headache. I went ahead and tested them all myself. That way you don't have to bother. AI does more than crank out those awful poems. It can really help you sort out if buying a house is even worth it. You can check which zip codes seem way overpriced. Plus it shows how to avoid screwing up that final walkthrough. In this episode I break it down a bit. There's the prompt that quickly sorts your must-haves from the deal breakers. And the meh list too. Then how you run the numbers on renting versus buying. You don't need some fancy math degree for it. A kind of sneaky trick to spot those overpriced zip codes. That saves you from wasting time on tours. One of these prompts is pretty much total fluff. I'd swap it out for something better. People still talk about trying these. Kind of pick one and see.

Most agents claim they have a CRM. Thing is, a lot of them are basically stuffing phone numbers into Excel spreadsheets. They hope something good happens on its own. That setup is not a real system. It is just a bunch of digital junk taking up space. In this episode, I break down the four key categories. These show the true state of your CRM. You can quit acting like everything is fine. Start seeing actual progress instead.   You learn why the folks who really know you deserve your main attention. They should come first on the list. Then there is the proper approach to shift those random contacts in your database. Turn them into people who answer when you reach out. No more getting ignored all the time. You also pick up how to move your social media followers from lurking around. Bring them right into your CRM. That is where they fit best. One more thing stands out. It is the group you skip tracking altogether. But you need to start. Hint. They do not even realize you are out there yet.   Your CRM ends up as either your cash generator or your go to reason for not succeeding. Leave a comment below.
