Weekly Call w_ Steve & Sam - Testimonial

he's been a client of us.

I think it's been.

Yes, it's mid May, so it's been about a month and a half.

Steve, introduce yourself.

tell us about yourself and yeah, why you.

How you found us and why and etc.

My name is Steve Pate.

I'm a remax agent.

I've been real estate about 25 years.

A little over 25 years, been one of the top, agents in northeast Florida.

And, we've had a team in the past, but not for a long time.

So I started to, look into how can I expand the team, and, ran into Sam, and, it's been great ever since.

Awesome.

And, yeah, explain the audience maybe kind of like, what have you tried before in terms of, like, getting, like, agents to come or, like, recruiting?

done.

indeed.

And Facebook and, calling and texting, and, really with no.

No success in the past.

Gotcha.

Like, like, what typically happened?

Was it that they were just, like, newer agents or just super cold or what was the issue there?

Well, I'm approaching them, and, it's been one of those, you know, you're just not hitting the right people.

You're not giving them the right information to make a good decision.

Yeah.

100.

And how do you see the difference now, like, for, like, working with us versus, like, what you were doing before?

I'm a believer now.

it's been great having you run these ads.

They're very professional, and it has, literally blown up my phone with agents that want more information or they book appointments to talk to me about it.

And, I'm excited.

It's, we brought on, well, really two.

Two agents in the last week.

One more tomorrow, this meeting with the broker, and we've got one more next week, so four.

Literally within two weeks.

And I guess it's just a matter of if I ever want to shut off the valve.

Slow it down.

Yeah, no, 100%.

No, that's good.

Especially since we just put up the video ads.

That's good to hear.

so what would you say to people that are maybe are on the fence of, like, working with us?

What would you tell them?

I would say, certainly, try Sam and see, See what he does.

I mean, it's been.

He's made a believer out of me.

I never was a believer in Facebook, really, for.

For anything.

And, and in the digital, and obviously I didn't know what I was doing.

These guys, Sam and them know what they're doing, and, they.

They put together, really, some professional work that attracts agents, makes them raise their hand and say, you know, tell me more.

Awesome.

Cool.

Well, Steve, I appreciate it.

How's everything else, though?

Well, really good.

I mean, I've, I've got two on board.

One tomorrow.

That'll be three.

And another girl's coming, next week.

She had to go off for a week, but she's ready to get started, so I'll have.

I should have four by next week.

Let's go.

Awesome.

I'm very pleased with the.

The way it's working out.

I've got a bunch of calls.

I mean, it's just.

It's.

It's kind of blowing up, so.

Yeah.

Especially after we switched to videos.

As the quality been?

Have you seen any difference or.

probably from the text for sure.

Okay, gotcha.

Okay.

And what do you mean by that?

I think the ones that were text, it's too quick and easy for them to, you know, say no or respond with a, you know, yes and not really want information.

I think the ad was good, and I think the videos are good.

Awesome.

I like it.

Cool.

Yeah, no, one of the videos is crushing it.

There's one that really stood out, if you want to see it.

Yeah.

So base T.

Four onboarders or.

Well, three and then one coming on.

You're shooting.

They're done so well.

I mean, I looked at, you know, of my things.

It's just really done very professionally.

It looks really good.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

Here, let me show you.

I'm.

I'm not a Facebook Instagram believer, in anything.

I mean, I've just spent so much money.

But, you guys have really, you know, changed my thought.

Obviously, you know what you're doing, so that's the big thing.

I could put an ad on Facebook.

Means nothing.

And you guys know how to put things together that, actually get results.

Kudos to you guys.

No, 100.

No, I appreciate it.

Yeah, no, it's in.

In, like, the last.

Basically the first 45 days, we've obtained almost 20 clients, I mean it looks pretty good.

I mean, you know, the AI is taking care of a lot of the follow up and those that want to talk, you know, they set an appointment to talk.

I mean, it's that simple.

So what's interesting is some people say, yes, I'm licensed, which automatically means they're sound like they're answering the ad.

But then you can't get a hold of them after that.

filtering.

That's why I also do some texting on top.

Right.

Just like, follow people that often.

Yeah.

Cool.

Well, the AI kind of takes Care of it.

Yeah.

I appreciate.

I'm, I'm very pleased.

Awesome.

Would you.

how about that?

know, what's interesting about most brokers is they'll kind of take anybody.

Anybody can breathe that's got a license.

Okay.

And ReMax has always been the one that said no, you can only come to us after you've had a couple years experience, maybe three come to us.

We don't want to train you on how to do anything.

And I told them several years ago, I said, that model is not going to work.

You have got to be able to bring people in and they got to have hope in what they're doing.

And, that model works so bad, somebody bought them.

Okay, so bottom.

but in my particular case, my broker my God, what are you doing?

You know, and I'm I'm, I'm giving these people hope because I'm showing them how to do things.

I took one out today.

I've got a little four step process with a phone call, a couple of meetings, give them some homework and you know, then I take them out with me to go show some things.

And most of them have like, never done this kind of stuff.

so I take one out today.

We stopped by this $1.3 million listing that had expired.

She invited us in and some.

Told me to send a listing agreement tonight.

just from you.

You show people what to do, you know, show them how to do it.

Yeah, it worked out pretty good.

We'll see how.

Yeah, that's awesome.

That's good stuff.
