I was a guest speaker in an 8 week class with Ben Kinney and Vija Williams on how to recruit productive real estate agents to your team.
Here's a replay of my talk.
Vija asked me to speak during on of the lessons about how to earn the trust of productive agents by publishing Q&A videos and agent success stories as part of a long-term agent nurture campaign.
Here's the structure for the training:
- How to build your agent list
- How to create Q&A content
- How to create success story content
- How to promote it effectively
- How to follow up for appointments
I also included the AI notes so can get the gist.
Enjoy!
