Matt may look like he lost a fight with a board he was working on, but, happily, his head’s in the right space to join Garrett for today’s discussion regarding the long-term impact of consistent relationship-building efforts, particularly through such methods as postcard campaigns and nurturing past connections. Together, they explore the challenges of measuring ROI in real estate marketing, emphasize the importance of personal presence and intention in achieving tangible results, and introduce the concept of the Ninja system's ‘multiplier effect’. Garrett and Matt stress the significance of viewing your database as a cumulative space, housing every person you've ever interacted with, and, instead of deleting contacts who may not seem immediately valuable, they advocate for maintaining these connections, recognizing the potential for future opportunities. The episode further underscores the importance of implementing consistent systems and staying engaged with your contacts, whether through live interactions or automated flows. Sharing some of their personal anecdotes, our hosts vividly illustrate how long-term presence with valuable information can yield unexpected business opportunities and referrals. Essentially, today’s episode emphasizes the enduring impact of cultivating relationships and staying true to one's authentic self in the real estate industry, offering a path to success for both energetic extroverts and quiet introverts alike.
