Highlights of this episode: Tom introduces Michael Tudorie and his business.
Normally we talk to second home agents, and Michael is working a traditional market, but he is killing it at making connections, so we had to bring him on the show!
Michael got good in his business by becoming super niche-focused.
Focus on one area, and get to know it well! You’ll be able to tell your clients everything they want to know, instead of selling in an area you’re 45 minutes away from.
When you’re focused on a niche, your leads are going to be better.
Technology changes how you approach referrals: when you have places like Zillow to bring in leads, it can make you reliant on these resources!
Whenever you make a change, you’re going to see a hockey stick growth trajectory. Be ready to wait out the immediate dip!
Organization and strategy will go hand in hand when you change your focus and go hyper local.
Michael shares how he schedules and coordinates an event to connect with the community.
