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!

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. “

How to turn one listing into a thriving farm! – Kenneth Toppin

Episode 98 – Kenneth Toppin

Listen On The Podcast

Welcome back to our 98^th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Kenneth Toppin, a top 1% agent with Re/Max in Durham Region.

Today Kenneth shares how he made the commitment to jump into real estate full time after working a full time job for a number of years first. He kind of fell into geographic farming because he didn’t have a strong center of influence. He thought everyone was doing geographic farming and later realized that not many agents are doing it, and doing it well.

He’s since built up a team of 6 buyers agents, 2 admins and himself and has sold nearly 400 homes in his farm over the past few years. And it all started from one listing he “worked” in his farm. This has led him to build out a door knocking and farming app for real estate agents that he personally uses in his business as well.

In this episode Kenneth and I talk about:

Why you should focus on getting 3 or more sales in an area as soon as possible can help you to position yourself as the up and coming agent in the community.
Kenneth shares how he built his farm simply because he leveraged a listing on one street and then turned it into 4 more listings on the same street after working the community.
What he wishes he would have done in the first few years that would have had an even bigger impact on his business and how you can learn from his mistakes.
A SUPER easy way to track your contacts and KPI’s while door knocking using his Harvast app.
How to understand simple metrics and how you can change the trajectory of your business by making small changes in your plan.
Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow geographic farm!
