Are you a new Real Estate Agent? Today on the Onion Juice Podcast I want to help you overcome the fear of getting your first deal. Do you know which activities are the best for you to focus on right now? Are you starting to feel discouraged or like you’re failing? You can do this! Listen to this episode to get some clarity, some exact things you should do to get that first deal, and a personal pep talk!

Focus on your tasks and not the results

New agents can easily become discouraged when they don’t see the results they are hoping for. On this episode, I encourage you to start out by focusing on your tasks and not the results. I also get specific about which tasks are worth your time and energy, and which are not revenue producing and should be left for later. In the beginning, your efforts will outweigh your results. But then there will be a tipping point where your results outweigh your efforts. Listen in and start focusing on the tasks that will be the most effective in helping your business get started.

Open houses are the best way for new agents to get deals

The best way to get a deal today is open houses. You want to get into the stream of buyers, and an open house is the way you can do it without spending a lot of money. On this episode, I tell you why I love open houses so much and give you some ideas for the things you can do to get business from them. Listen to today’s podcast to find out how to get started on open houses and other activities that will set you up for a great start to your business.

A buyer wants a house, a seller wants an agent

Even though this podcast episode is mostly about getting buyers, I have to say something about getting listings as well. The challenge is overcoming the fear of listings and setting yourself up to be a listing agent. But you can be a listing agent. Believe it and don’t be afraid to be new. On this episode, I share a story about a time when I got a listing even though I had less expertise than the other on the client’s list. Listen in to discover how you can be a listing agent, even when you are new.

New Real Estate agents should focus on their chase pillar

If you’ve been around the Onion Juice Podcast for long, you know we are all about being a media company that happens to sell Real Estate, and that we want to attract business instead of just chasing it. But for new agents, the chase is essential. The sphere of influence and the attract pillars take time to bring results. Listen to today’s episode to find out why it is necessary to focus on the chase and then add the other pillars after your business gets going.

Open houses don’t sell homes. So why would you want to do them? Truth is, they are a great way to get into the flow of buyers. And it is a very inexpensive way for new Real Estate agents to get into the business. In this episode, I explain the ways that open houses benefit your business if you go all-in on them. And I give you proven ideas to help you host the ultimate open house. Listen in to learn how doing open houses as your chase pillar can help you build your business.

To host the ultimate open house, you have to get the word out

The first thing you need to do for an open house is to create great fliers. Then use your blog, social media, and even door-knocking to get the word out as well. Even when these things don’t bring people to your open house, they help create top of mind awareness, which is always a good thing for your business. On this episode of The Onion Juice Podcast, you will learn how to use all of these resources not only to promote your open house but also to create an open door for future business.

When you do an open house, it’s really important to have a lead-gen magnet

Open houses do occasionally sell homes. But more often they generate leads for future business. It is important to have something to offer the potential buyers who attend. If I help them, give them value, they are going to respect me and want to work with me. On this episode, I share several lead-gen ideas that have worked for me and tell you about an app that is a great benefit to both buyers and agents. Listen in to find out how effective an open house can be for generating leads for future business!

There is power in not knowing the answers.

Are you hesitant to host open houses because you might not know the answers to potential buyers’ questions? You probably don’t want to put the time and effort into researching and learning every detail about the house before your event. But, good news - not knowing answers may actually be to your benefit! Listen to this episode of The Onion Juice Podcast to find out why.

How to get people to sign in at your open house

Do you want to be sure that you collect contact information for the people who attend your open houses? On this episode, I tell you how I use a survey that can be filled out as potential buyers go through the house. This survey then provides you with helpful information that you can use to follow up with the guests who came to your open house. Listen to today’s podcast to hear about the survey and a dozen other great ideas for hosting the ultimate open house!

Today we celebrate the 100th episode of The Onion Juice Podcast! Three of my favorite people, Dustin Brohm, Tyler Zey, and Jerry Potter, join me to reminisce about how the Onion Juice Podcast got started. In addition to giving me a hard time about the Onion Juice name, they also chime in on why it is crucial for Real Estate Agents to use social media and create a personal brand. Join us for this entertaining and informative conversation and the opportunity to hear the roasts and kudos sent in by listeners and former podcast guests!

Why you need to create your own brand and become a media company instead of buying leads

Many of the big Real Estate teams buy their leads from Zillow or Realtor.com. But this is not a good long-game plan for lead generation. Find out why on today’s episode of The Onion Juice Podcast as Dustin Brohm, Tyler Zey, Jerry Potter and I talk about the future of Real Estate and why you need to focus on providing value at the local level. Listen in for lots of great content in the middle of an entertaining celebration of our 100th episode!

Why you need a Real Estate website and what it can do for you

Do you have a Real Estate website and Facebook page? If not, according to Tyler Zey, you are missing the boat. On this centennial episode of The Onion Juice Podcast, Tyler fills us in on the future of where websites are going and why you need to have one to be successful. And, by the way, episode #72 with Tyler Zey is the second most downloaded episode of the podcast! He and Easy Agent Pro have so much to offer and have been a great part of this podcast. Listen in to hear specific ways that Real Estate websites are getting better and better at helping you build relationships!

How The Onion Juice Podcast has opened doors in my Real Estate career

On this centennial episode of the Onion Juice Podcast, I get to chat with three long-time friends about the history of the podcast. One fun thing that we talk about is how The Onion Juice Podcast has affected my career in ways both planned and unexpected. It has been a true adventure in being a media company that happens to sell Real Estate! Listen in to get the juicy details and think about ways that you can use media in your Real Estate business.

Roasts and kudos from The Onion Juice Podcast listeners on the 100th episode

To celebrate our centennial episode, I invited listeners and past guests to roast me with audio clips.

Are there too many good ideas out there? Things that distract you and keep you from having clarity and being consistent with the way you are doing business? Are the things you are doing congruent with who you are as a person? On this episode, we’re going to talk about how to have a Real Estate marketing plan that makes sense for you so that you can be clear and consistent in the way that you do business. Listen in and stop being distracted by all the good ideas out there!

Choose Real Estate marketing activities you can be consistent with

There are lots of great ideas out there for Real Estate marketing. But it is important to choose something that you can be consistent with. On this episode, I’ll talk with you about being consistent and give you a few examples that can help you determine whether or not an activity is something that can be consistent for you. Listen in to learn how to design a plan that is clear, consistent, and congruent with who you are.

Just because it works doesn’t mean you should do it

Congruency. It’s the secret recipe for being consistent with your Real Estate marketing plan. Just because an idea works for someone else does not mean that it is the best choice for you. On this episode, we’ll talk about choosing activities that fit who you are, instead of activities that fit into someone else’s box. It can be a challenge to discover what is congruent for you. Listen to this episode to find out how to get started!

Don’t succumb to Shiny Object Syndrome

Too many good ideas can kill your business. When you hear what someone else is doing with good results and you shift gears to add it, it can end up being a big distraction that becomes detrimental to your business. On this episode, we’ll talk about these “shiny objects” and how to avoid becoming distracted by them. Listen in to learn how to stay focused on your clear, consistent, and congruent Real Estate marketing plan.

The Roundbox coaching community can help you stay consistent

Having a mentor can be just the support you need as you develop a Real Estate marketing plan that is clear, consistent, and congruent with who you are. And being in community can help you stay focused and avoid “shiny object syndrome.” If you are thinking about finding a coach, listen to this episode to learn about Roundbox coaching and the supportive community that is available to you.
