When 2020 began, none of us could have predicted the worldwide shutdowns that would take place. With so many barriers to business as usual, many agents found themselves afraid to connect with clients and have been stagnating as a result.
 
However, some agents took this time to pivot strategies and connect in new ways, like video, and they’re the ones who will be seeing great results for the foreseeable future.
 
As more places reopen, those of you who have been using video will need to rethink strategies again. How can you use technology to connect with your database in new, unexpected ways? For those who didn’t take action sooner, how can you rectify that and rekindle neglected relationships? 
 
In this episode, President at eXp Global, Mike Valdes joins me to discuss how to stay afloat in an uncertain market using video technology. 
 
This podcast was originally recorded on Michael LaFido’s Luxury Lunch & Learn series.

Seeing each other is invaluable, and that’s what makes video so effective. -Mike Valdes
 
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

What makes video the best tool for your business: 

People do business with those they know, like, and trust. Luckily, video is a great way to speed up that process. When clients see you on video, they’re able to connect with your authenticity and get a better understanding of who you are. 


How video helps get your point across more effectively: 

Body language is an extremely important part of communication, but that’s typically lost in a text. Avoid misinterpretation and ensure your recipients know exactly what you’re saying and how you’re saying it by sending a video instead. 


How to reconnect with your database: 

Don’t panic if you didn’t reach out to past clients earlier. It’s not too late to connect, so send them a video today and start doing the work to rebuild your relationships.
