Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas a real estate marketing. This podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust, and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living, it's your job to remind them. Let's get started. What's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast, folks, what we're gonna be chatting about today, I don't have any gas, we're going to do a little bit of a teaching moment. And with this recession, with all these things coming on, I think it's more than ever important if someone helps lead the way, from someone who has actually been through these types of markets before. I know it's coming, I feel it's coming. I'm ready for it. So I want to be able to provide a lot of that insight because I've been here before, folks, I've done this in the past, and I cannot wait to do it again. First off, these markets are great, there's a ton of opportunity in them. And I understand that you may be scared right now. But don't be be encouraged. Business may be slow a little bit for the time being, but it's okay. It's what you do now, though, that's going to pay off tomorrow. So this is the time when you do not sit down and go hide in the closet, because you're too fucking scared to go out there because you don't know where your next commission paycheck is going to be. This is not the time that you go out and you start crying, and just keep on doing more and more of the same. This is when you look at your business and you focus and working on it. And what I want to dedicate this week's show to is one of those little areas that I'm going to encourage you to focus on, and that is going to be on your database 100% This entire podcasts gonna be focused on just how to own your database, and I want to take you through a very simplistic way to stay in touch with them. Now, I literally just got off a call. And it's the same question every single time I get, how are you staying in front of your database, you know, when we bring people on board, we're recruiting their content, and one of the things we do with them as we build their database for them, so that when we create their videos, we put the videos in front of the right people and the right people are always the right people, you know, past clients, friends, family, aunts, and uncles. And I'm just shocked that literally, no one ever talked to you as a system to stay in front of their database, or stay in relationship with them. And every single person I talked to well over on average, over 6070, most times 80% of their business is coming from that very database, but they don't even have a system to market it and stay in touch with it. And to me, that's just crazy. Like, folks, we know where the business comes from. In this business, it comes from people we already know not strangers. Okay. We'll, we'll do a lead generation podcast next week. But let's focus today on sphere of influence over 80% of businesses comes from people we know we met in the past and we personally used or we run into over 80%. So the number one, regardless of the market conditions, the number one form of marketing and a real estate agents business is always been to stay in front of their own database. And let's first define what your database is, and I'm gonna show you how to stay
