The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience

We see ads everywhere, all the time, every day. Most of us feel like we’ve become immune to advertising… until suddenly we’re not. Why do some ads work on us while others become white noise? It’s not by accident. This week, Jason Pantana is going to take you through the different types of digital ads offered by Google and social media, then give you five strategies to fill the content of those ads...

Most of the time, questions are just questions. You ask them when you want answers. But sometimes the way you choose to ask yourself a question is the answer itself. Could changing the tone of your questions change your life? It’s up to you.

This week, we’re talking about a unique (and potentially more powerful) form of confidence. Dan Prud’Homme is a master salesman. He always said he only wanted to sell and had no interest in managing. But then something happened, and now Dan is running a super successful “teamerage” where he devotes all his energy to helping other agents discover their own power. I sat down with Dan expecting to ta...

Times are changing all over the country. In Austin, Texas, there are close to 15,000 licensed agents, and last year they all had to split an inventory of just around 900 homes. As you’d expect from this kind of market, the top 10% of agents rise to the top and close nearly all the deals. So, how do we get into the 10%, and even better – how do we stand out as the luxury agent of choice? Discussing...

It’s a very special day at the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience.

We’re talking inventory, inflation, the best times to buy, the war in Ukraine, and so much more.   Gahh! I just want to tell yo...

What good has fear ever brought into your life? Fear holds us back from doing the things we love, the things we were born to do. Whenever I face a potentially frightening situation, I ask myself three questions. You should too.

Do I really need to give you yet another reason to concentrate your efforts on video marketing? How about this… Since Jeremy Knight started getting serious about video in 2019, he’s gotten his marketing expenses down to ZERO and pulled in 1.2 million dollars in GCI just last year. I guess you don’t need to spend money to make money… This week, I sat down with Jeremy to discuss some of the strategi...

Emily Terrell does it all; she’s a mother, powerbroker, real estate coach, and investor. Oddly enough, Emily sometimes refers to herself as the laziest agent in real estate, because she’s found a way to maximize her efficiency so that she can easily attract clients while spending time with her family.   It all comes down to her systems and long-term strategy. Emily doesn’t do anything without a pu...

Where does certainty come from? It’s not from the road you haven’t yet traveled. Certainty comes from where you’ve been and how you’re thinking, right now. You’re stronger than you were, because at some point you decided to embrace the challenge.

The obvious way to achieve success in real estate is to have a ton of experience and a huge network – basically, already be successful. The other way is to think smarter and get yourself off on the right footing. When your brand is strong enough, experience doesn’t matter. If you’re a new agent, Jason Pantana and I are going to give you the social media strategies you absolutely need to compete wi...

We have Rockstar agent Doug Edrington back in the house, talking to me about LPMAMA! If you’re not familiar, it’s a set of talking points for covering all your bases when converting leads into clients. But this isn’t your mama’s LPMAMA. No, Doug’s made it cleaner, meaner, and added a bonus “S” at the end, which (just like an “S” at the end of most words) multiplies its potential. If now is your fi...

Darin Marques was bartending when he decided to get into real estate back in 2009 – not exactly an easy time to get your start. But it didn’t take long until Darin was one of the top luxury agents in Las Vegas.   You could say that Darin knows a bit about thriving in a tough market, and this week he shared with me some of the ways he continues to beat the competition in this one, including: The ne...

Greetings from the Mohegan Sun Hotel and Casino in beautiful Uncasville, Connecticut! I’m here with Super-Team, Byron Lazine and Nicole White. When Byron and Nicole met back in 2016, they recognized the rare opportunity for a mastermind partnership which couldn’t be passed up, even if it meant relocating and beginning a new team from day one. Good thing they did, because today they’re running mult...

The greatest marketing medium which has ever existed in the history of the universe? Yeah, it’s video! It’s so powerful, so effective, and so… EASY to make mistakes with!

You may remember on last week’s Confidence & Conversion, Doug Edrington used the phrase “tactical winning and strategic losing.” This week, Doug and his longtime friend Malcolm Godwin are going to unpack exactly what that means and why strategic loses might sometimes beat out momentary wins when it comes to playing the long game. Doug and Malcolm each run multiple businesses with phenomenal su...

It’s still the beginning of Q2, still the time to look back at your Q1 and make strategies. If you keep doing the same thing over and over again, you’re going to keep getting the same results. So, take a look at your playbook. What does your effort get you?

I’ll just say it: you’re not sending enough emails! I know what you’re thinking… “Nobody reads emails anymore!” But here’s the thing: When done correctly, email is actually one of the most effective marketing channels out there. This week, Jason Pantana is going to share a case study in which a specialized email strategy is generating up to 45 directly attributable listing leads every month! Then,...

Things are TOUGH out there right now. When the demand is this high, your average buyer is likely going to lose the first five properties they set their heart on. What can we do to make our offers stand apart from the rest? Helping me answer that question is one of the most productive agents in the entire industry, Doug Edrington. This week on Confidence & Conversion, Doug is going to offer you...

Marketing yourself effectively takes a lot of time, thought, and hard work. It can seem like a real chore if you let it. But think of it this way… What if you were the editor of a magazine all about YOU? In it, you put everything you like, all your flavor and style, and pepper in some real estate just for good measure. This, my friends, might not be just a tactic for better marketing, but your tic...

Let’s face it, social media can be exhausting. You got into real estate to sell houses, not be an Instagram star! There are so many now: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok. And they are all STARVING for content. If you’re going to dominate social, you need to produce a huge amount of quality content in a short amount of time, so you can get on with your business. But I promise you, it’s worth it...
