Episode Synopsis

In this video, I share the single most important skill that built my real estate career — follow-up.Most agents, lenders, and team leaders fail not because they can’t generate leads… but because they stop following up. I’ll walk you through the two stories that completely changed how I handle follow-up — one from my first year as an agent (when I made $165K in six months) and another from my time recruiting over 100 agents as a team leader.You’ll learn:✅ How one simple question turned into a listing appointment and a six-figure start✅ Why most salespeople give up way too early — and how to fix it✅ How a single text message (“You okay?”) can re-open ghosted conversations✅ The Kevin Hart meme follow-up trick I learned from Alex Hormozi’s sales team✅ Why persistence, done politely and consistently, beats talent every timeWhether you’re trying to close more listings, recruit more agents, or grow your business, this episode will show you how relentless, respectful follow-up can change everything.📈 Timestamps00:00 — The biggest lesson in real estate nobody talks about01:20 — The listing appointment that taught me the value of follow-up05:30 — The lender who gave up after 3 calls (and what I learned from it)09:15 — Why people ghost you (and what it really means)12:00 — How I recruited 111 agents in my first year as a team leader15:30 — The Kevin Hart meme that gets instant responses18:00 — The truth: Follow-up is the money💡 If this video hits home, do me a favor:👉 Like, comment your biggest takeaway, and subscribe for more videos on recruiting, sales, and leadership.#RealEstate #RecruitingBoss #FollowUp #SalesTraining #AlexHormozi #RealEstateCoaching #TeamLeader #AgentRecruiting #Persistence #RealEstateTips
