Patti Sampson – CRM and Drip Campaign Specialist

HI, I’M PATTI SAMPSON – CRM & DRIP CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST

Hi Agent friend… it’s Patti here and I am a real estate Real Estate Agent too.

In 2004, when I got my license, I got stuck in the the up-and-down cycle of agent life… showing homes, taking listings, running to my desk to write contracts, taking care of kids as a single mom, and then… at the end of the day (when I was exhausted), I still had to call/prospect my leads so they would not forget about me so I could keep my pipeline constantly full. Sound familiar?

I was fortunate to have generated thousands of leads in a competitive market, but I also had to learn how to efficiently and consistently prospect those leads so I could stay top-of-mind and convert those leads to closings fast (’cause feeding my kids was kind of important, if you know what I mean).

It was then my REAL ESTATE DRIP MAIL was born and my engagement system quickly soared me to the top of the leader board!

Today, as one of the top real estate marketing companies, I am seriously passionate about sharing my system (within any CRM).

If you are struggling, it’s time to make a change and I can help you! On this page are several options to help you get a grip on the unforgiving-real-estate-agent-cycle once and for all.

Remember… leads alone won’t grow your bank account! THE MONEY IS IN THE FOLLOW-UP!

FarmerRyan — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Episode 111 – Stuart Sutton

Listen On The Podcast

Welcome back to our 111^th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Stuart Sutton with eXp Realty in Austin Texas.

Get ready for an engaging podcast interview with Stuart, a real estate agent who broke free from the traditional mold. Instead of following the crowd, Stuart focused on expireds, FSBOs, cold calling, and door knocking, building a thriving business. However, it was a heartfelt moment with his son that made him realize the importance of work-life balance. Since then, he has created a business that allows him to enjoy quality time with his family, never working weekends or evenings.

Stuart’s expertise lies in “niche marketing,” where he has honed his skills in 1+ acre homes. By developing unique systems and tools, he has separated himself from the competition and created a business base that actively seeks him out. In this interview, Stuart shares his inspiring journey, filled with captivating stories and valuable insights. Tune in for a fun and informative episode that will leave you motivated and entertained!

In this episode, Stuart and I talk about:

• Why niche’s are so important in this business and how they help you truly become an expert.

• Stuart shares how he built a business that allows him to never work evenings and weekends, and how you can do the same in your business!

• What Stuart has learned from his direct response marketing efforts that have landed him client after client.

• A SUPER easy strategy that agents can do right now in their marketing that can drastically increase conversions and massively increase your profits.

• How Stuart achieved major market share in his “farm” in a very short time, beating out top agents who controlled the area. • Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow geographic farm!

Last Piece Of Advice:

“Remember the science – when you are considered an expert by the consumer, they really treat you as an expert. So understand the impact of the expert perspective from a consumer’s point of view. “

Should I Door Knock In My Farm?

FarmerRyan — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 08:56:00 +0000

To Door Knock Or Not?

Do you door knock in your business? Do You door knock in your farm?

Door knocking is about as polarizing as Coke vs Pepsi, right wing vs left wing, vegan vs meat eaters, Chevy vs Ford and Android vs Apple.

For everyone who swears by it, there is another who swears AT it! If you are on either team, don’t fret, you aren’t alone. But there are some things you may want to consider if you are looking to get the most out of your farm.

Team No Door Knock

Those that are on team #NoKnock tend to choose not to door knock based on their own personal feelings around it. They don’t like to be bothered by others knocking, so they don’t want to put others in the same situation.

Some agents choose not to door knock based on the amount of time and enrgy it takes, and don’t feel its worth it.

But the most common reason, I’ve found, that agents choose not to door knock is their insecurities around it. They may feel they are not good enough, or they don’t know what to say, or they feel they are bothering people.

Team Door Knock

The team #Knock are the ones who have figured out that it’s not as scary as you might think. The agents who have built solid businesses around door knocking have found ways to bring so much value while they are door knocking, that they aren’t bothering people.

They see the value in the short term and long term pay offs of their efforts and find ways to tie their door knocking into their business, their community involvement and find ways to connect with people.

There Is No Right Or Wrong

There is no right or wrong answer on whether you should door knock in your farm. If you are on team #NoKnock, you can’t knock the agents who do it, as there are plenty of agents who do it well and enjoy doing it.

If you are on team #Knock, you can’t knock agents who choose not to.

So whatever your reason to knock or not, the key is to make your decision based on adding value to your farm, not based on your fears or misconceptions.

Happy Farming!

Where should I spend money in my farm?

FarmerRyan — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 09:10:00 +0000

Finances and farming go hand in hand. Agents are always asking “Where should I spend money in my farm?” and it’s a legitimate question and SHOULD be asked.

However, many agents get a lot of bad advice, or don’t do enough research when they are starting their farms and end up spending money in all the wrong places (We’ll discuss that in another blog!)

The truth is, if you are getting started in your farm, there are only a few places I strongly suggest investing your capital and we’ll share those today. There are 3 key areas that we will discuss.

Building Relationships

The first place you should focus your finances is in building relationships. That’s either making new relationships in your farm, or strengthening the ones you already have. That could be getting out and meeting new businesses or taking people out for coffee. It could be put into community events or one to one networking.

The key is that you are BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. What that doesn’t mean is trying to get your name out to the area. Sending out a bunch of postcards or paying for a billboard doesn’t build relationships, and should not be one of your main focuses when getting started.

You have to think about how you can meet new people or add value to the people you’ve already met.

Systems

The next thing you should spend money on is your systems. This could be a lot of things to a lot of agents, but the fundamentals to investing money in a system in your farm should be that it furthers your goal, takes tasks off your plate and/or increases your productivity.

Investing in the right systems can be a game changer. Whether that is working with the right CRM or investing in a lead generation platform. It could be a blogging platform or a dialer system. You could be spending money in a monthly newsletter or retargeting ads. Whatever the system you invest in, it should be designed to make your job easier. Not just look better.

These systems can be expensive up front, or in the long run, and that is why its crucial that it’s actually helping you advance your goal. Spending money on a system for vanity’s sake is pointless. So make sure you track your spending and be willing to invest in the right system.

Generating Leads

And lastly, it’s important to be willing to spend money to generate leads. I’m not saying you should run out and start buying internet leads. What I am saying is that it takes money, time and resources to generate leads. Whether those are cold leads using a dialer system, marketing based leads from online and offline lead sources or investing money into community based approaches that help you generate leads.

We all need leads, and no matter what way you slice it, it’s gonna cost you something. Whatever route you go down, be sure that when you spend the money, you have a plan in place to make it back. If you don’t have a marketing and follow up plan in place for the leads you generate, then you are probably just throwing away money. So be sure you invest just as much into the follow up as you do the lead gen.

Conclusion – Where Should I Spend Money

So if you aren’t sure where you should spend money, make sure you take some time to assess why you want to spend the money in the first place and if it’s going to help you achieve your goals. And if you are stuck and hesitant to spend money, remember, most agents are, but the ones who are willing to be strategic with their investments in their farm are the ones who usually see the best returns.

Happy Farming!
