- Hey, today, I've got four no-brainer hacks
[2]
to generate new listings.

(rock music)
[9]
Hey, it's Tom Ferry.
[10]
If you had to get a listing in the next week,
[14]
what actions would you take?
[16]
That's what I wanna cover today on the show.
[18]
I reached out to a couple of my top coaches,
[20]
Jason Pantana, who runs our Marketing Edge event,
[23]
and I asked a bunch of these guys and gals,
[25]
"What are your best hacks?
[27]
What are the little things that you're doing right now
[29]
that you almost don't want anyone else to know?"
[32]
I'm gonna give you that today, you ready?
[33]
Get your pen out, get ready to write.
[35]
Listen to this one three or four times.
[36]
It's gonna be good.
[37]
The first thing they said for the absolute no-brainer,
[40]
as in no brain required, you with me on this?
[44]
No brain required is, you leverage one of your buyers
[48]
who absolutely is committed to buy, wants to buy,
[50]
qualified, ready to go, approved, all cash,
[53]
and they've written an offer or two
[55]
and it didn't get accepted.
[57]
That kind of buyer.
[58]
What you're gonna do is you're gonna identify,
[60]
step one, the neighborhood they most wanna buy in.
[63]
The 60, 70, 80, 200-home subdivision, building,
[66]
whatever it may be, that they want to live in.
[69]
Number two, you're going to hand-address
[73]
and hand-stamp every one of the pieces.
[77]
Here's the catch.
[78]
No company logo, no company logo, no company logo.
[83]
Hand-addressed, hand-stamped.
[85]
If you wanna kill it, put a birthday cake stamp,
[89]
put a wedding cake stamp on it.
[91]
Have it on a small envelope, have it be
[93]
cream colored, and guess what?
[96]
That baby's gonna get opened, and that's 90% of the game.
[99]
Just getting your message to the right target audience.
[103]
So we select the list.
[104]
These are the homes I wanna mail it to.
[105]
We're gonna deliver it in
[107]
a hand-addressed, hand-stamped letter.
[111]
Inside, when they open it up thinking,
[114]
"Oh my goodness, what wedding am I being invited to,
[116]
or who's having a birthday,"
[117]
they get a letter that says, "Dear neighbor,
[119]
I'm representing a client who's
[122]
interested in buying your home."
[124]
The more specifics you give them,
[126]
a four-bedroom, three-bath,
[128]
the more specific, the better.
[130]
Just be mindful if you're sending to
[131]
a subdivision of multiple types of properties.
[134]
You know the game.
[136]
You write in, "They're all cash," or,
[138]
"They're approved by bank X, and they recently
[141]
lost out on a home that they really wanted to buy.
[144]
We've identified your property as the ideal home for them."
[149]
Here's the hook, you ready?
[150]
"Would you consider a one-day listing?"
[153]
"Whoa, (mumbles)."
[156]
"Would you consider a one-day listing?"
[157]
Can I remind you that we live in
[159]
the on-demand environment?
[162]
You go to Netflix, you wanna watch it right now.
[164]
You go to Amazon, you want it right now.
[167]
There is a percentage of customers out there that
[170]
don't want the sign in the yard,
[171]
but they've had thoughts of selling.
[173]
This is a way to hook that person in
[175]
and to get in the door and have a conversation.
[178]
So again, "I'm representing a client.
[181]
They're a buyer, pre-qualified,
[183]
ready to go by bank X or Y.
[185]
They're all cash."
[185]
Give them some details.
[187]
"They desperately want to live in your neighborhood."
[189]
Name the neighborhood.
[191]
Specifics.
[192]
"They wanna live in Irvine Terrace
[194]
on the Ocean View side."
[195]
Be specific about it.
[198]
"Here's my question.
[199]
Would you consider a one-day listing
[202]
just for my buyer to see it?
[204]
Would you consider a one-day listing
[205]
just for my buyer to see it?"
[207]
And then guess what, my friends?
[209]
You sit back and you let the phone ring.
[211]
I gotta give a little shoutout.
[213]
Jeff Mays, one of our coaches who
[214]
sent this over, said, "Hey Tom, my client
[217]
Janine Bear, Coldwell Banker in Idaho,"
[219]
big shoutout to you, "sent out 60 letters,
[222]
only got five phone calls."
[223]
Sent out 60 letters, only got five phone calls, hello.
[228]
"Got a listing and sold it."
[229]
Hello.
[231]
"Made an $8,000 commission on a $100 marketing spend."
[234]
I don't know about you, but if I said,
[236]
"Hey, give me $100 and I'll give you eight grand,"
[239]
you'd be like, "Here's $100," and I give you eight grand.
[242]
You'd be like, "Here's another $100."
[244]
I give you another eight grand.
[244]
You're like, "Here's $200."
[247]
I give you 16 grand.
[249]
That's called 100% no brain required.
[251]
You with me on this?
[252]
That's listening attraction hack number one.
[256]
Number two.
[257]
Get ready.
[258]
On Instagram, on Instagram, you're gonna do ...
[262]
Oh, I did it on my poll already as a test.
[266]
You're gonna have to go back and maybe find it.
[268]
You're gonna go onto your Instagram stories,
[271]
stories being the key because we're gonna use
[273]
the live polling on Instagram stories,
[275]
and you're gonna ask this question.
[278]
"Are you living in your dream home now?"
[280]
Use the polling tab where it says yes or no
[283]
and let them hit yes or no.
[284]
"Are you living in your dream home now, yes or no?"
[288]
People love polls.
[290]
You see the action on those all the time
[292]
on your Instagram story.
[293]
They're like, "Yes," or, "No."
[295]
Hmm, interesting.
[296]
Then they go to the next one and it says,
[299]
"Have you had any thoughts of selling
[301]
in 2018 or 2019, yes or no?"
[306]
For some of us that are paying attention to
[308]
Instagram and the amount of eyeballs that are there
[310]
and how important stories are today on Facebook,
[312]
or, excuse me, on Instagram,
[314]
you know this is 100% no brain required,
[318]
and probably something you'll run
[321]
maybe every quarter, maybe every four months
[324]
because it's that good and that simple.
[327]
That's the second hack.
[328]
Number three.
[329]
If you really wanna get some listings with
[331]
no brain required, write down the following.
[333]
You ready?
[334]
Jason Pantana, who runs our Marketing Edge event,
[337]
by the way, selling out every single day,
[339]
shoutout to Jason and all of our clients that are
[340]
really wanna stand out by attending that
[343]
Marketing Edge event, he said,
[345]
"One of the things our clients are doing right now,
[347]
they take a business card and a little yellow
[350]
sticky note, and on every one of the sticky notes,
[352]
they write down the following."
[354]
Pay attention, you ready?
[355]
"Call me about your house."
[357]
So Mark, literally, their card, yellow sticky note,
[361]
"Call me about the house," and you put it
[363]
right near the door, maybe right near the doorknob,
[366]
and you stick it there.
[367]
"Call me about your house."
[369]
That's all it says.
[370]
"Call me about your house," and your card.
[372]
You do this to 100 homes.
[375]
When they call you, what do you do?
[377]
"Hey, thanks so much for calling.
[378]
I'm actually representing a buyer right now who
[380]
desperately wants to live in your neighborhood.
[383]
I just had to reach out,
[385]
being aggressive for my customer to find out,
[387]
have you had any thoughts of selling?
[390]
Have you had any thoughts of selling?"
[392]
It is a no-brainer.
[394]
I could spend an hour going through the psychology of
[397]
why that's effective, the marketing angle behind it,
[399]
the hook behind it, the, "What do they mean,
[401]
call me about your house?
[403]
What, call me about your house?
[404]
Okay, sure.
[405]
Is something wrong?"
[406]
You may get a few of those phone calls.
[408]
When they respond and they're like,
[410]
"Hey, you said call me about the house,"
[411]
you're like, "Hey, thank you so much.
[413]
I'm representing this buyer."
[414]
Some will be excited, some won't care.
[417]
Some, this is just the trigger they needed
[419]
because they've been thinking about
[420]
selling their home, and guess what?
[422]
You just got an opportunity
[424]
direct from the Tom Ferry Show.
[425]
That's number three.
[426]
I got one more a little more advanced,
[429]
so consider the following.
[431]
Do you know the company Sly Broadcast?
[433]
S-L-Y Broadcast?
[435]
What this company does is it allows you to
[438]
record a voicemail and send it to people
[442]
directly into their voicemail.
[444]
This is not the phone rings and they hear,
[446]
"Hello, I'm a real estate agent."
[449]
No, instead, it goes right to their voicemail.
[452]
So you could literally send out,
[454]
I wanna give you these numbers,
[455]
you could send out, for $100 a month,
[458]
2,000 voicemail messages.
[460]
We have lots of clients doing this.
[462]
You heard one of our clients talk about this
[464]
last year at the summit, we've talked about it
[466]
at Tom X, where she did this for the first time.
[469]
"I'm representing an all-cash buyer who would
[472]
like to buy a home in your neighborhood.
[473]
We just missed out on another opportunity
[475]
down the street from you.
[476]
Would you call me today at," and she gives her number.
[479]
She took that voicemail and I think she
[482]
sent it out to 2,000 people at once.
[484]
And then after 172 phone calls back
[487]
in the first 24 hours, she said, "Whoa.
[490]
Maybe I ought to do it in smaller increments."
[493]
So my advice for you is, if you're gonna
[495]
check this one out, make sure you start small
[498]
and get ready for the phone to ring.
[501]
You leave a cool voicemail.
[502]
"Hey, it's Tom Ferry with Banana Real Estate.
[504]
I'm representing a buyer right now, and I gotta tell you,
[507]
they are a wonderful couple.
[508]
They're desperate to live in banana community,
[512]
and we've already actually written an offer.
[513]
They got beat out by an investor.
[516]
They're a nice family.
[517]
They wanna live in your neighborhood.
[518]
I'm just asking, if you've had any thoughts of selling,
[521]
could you please give me a call?"
[523]
Notice how I did that voicemail.
[526]
It wasn't perfect.
[527]
You with me?
[528]
It was authentic.
[529]
It's like, "Hey, I'm just reaching out.
[532]
I'm representing this client and they
[533]
desperately wanna live in your area.
[534]
They recently lost out on another home
[536]
right near you, and I know this is
[539]
strange on voicemail, but gosh,
[541]
if you've had any thoughts of selling,
[544]
could you call me at 555-1212,
[546]
even it was just for a one-day listing
[547]
because you were thinking about it?
[549]
If the stars and the moons aligned
[551]
and the price was perfect that you would move,
[554]
just call me, 555-1212."
[556]
I would actually do that voicemail.
[557]
I loved how authentic and real that was.
[559]
And then they send it out (whoosh noise)
[562]
200 homes, 200 homes, 1,000 homes,
[564]
cell phones, whatever you got.
[566]
It doesn't make a difference.
[567]
But here's the thing, you ready?
[569]
How much brains does it require to leave a voicemail
[573]
and have it sent to all those homes?
[575]
100% no brain required.
[577]
I gave you the script.
[578]
It'll be on the blog on tomferry.com,
[581]
so if you're watching on YouTube, go back to tomferry.com
[583]
and that entire script will be in the blog,
[586]
looking at my extraordinary writer, Mark.
[589]
So that's what I got.
[590]
That's what I wanted to share with you.
[591]
My hope is always the same, that you take massive action,
[595]
that you absolutely implement at least one thing
[597]
from this show to generate more listings,
[599]
to solve the crisis in your market,
[602]
and ultimately help another buyer buy their dream home.
[605]
Thanks so much for watching.
[606]
Remember always, your strategy matters,
[608]
and now more than ever, your passion absolutely rules.
[611]
Take care.
