Welcome back to our 45th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Geoff McLennan with Re/Max All Points in New Westminster

Today Geoff shares how got started in the business by following in his father’s footsteps. He told people he was never going to get into the business when he was younger while he was working in the film industry.

We dive into how Geoff has created an amazing business and a large chunk of that comes from his food reviews in his Facebook group “Eat New West”.

In this episode Geoff and I talk about:

Why he started a food video and Facebook group and how he’s built a cult following in his community.
Geoff shares how he built his group to over 7000 people making up more than 10% of the population of his city and how he’s leveraged that to do a ton of business.
What he did to grow the audience over time while having a ton of fun (and delicious meals) in the process.
A SUPER easy way to add value to local businesses and help them reach the community while tapping into their audience to help grow yours.
How you can turn your passion into a Facebook group and build raving fans that you can turn into business.
Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow geographic farm!

Welcome back to our 116th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Patti Sampson who is a CRM and Drip Campaign specialist.

Today Patti shares how she started nearly 20 years ago and was an early adopter of internet leads in real estate. She was on a mission to create as much value as she could for her clients and build something that could run automatically.

After becoming obsessed with automation and follow up, Patti cracked the code and did 42 sales in her first year of real estate, proving she had what it takes to build a long term successful business.

In this episode, Patti and I talk about:

• Why it’s critical for agents to track their business so they can get the most from their leads and their time.

• Patti shares how agents make major mistakes when not using a CRM and how the right systems and tools not only make your business easier, they make you more money!

• What Patti has learned about why segmenting your database is one of the most powerful things you can do in your business, and how you can set it up effectively.

• A SUPER easy way to stay top of mind and relevant to your leads to ensure that they are calling YOU when they are ready!
