My top sales strategy has been partnering with the companies that serve clients aged 65+ in our area. We meet on a regular basis and treat each company we're partnered with as a larger organization might treat an account. Examples are senior-focused movers, home healthcare, estate sellers, and most importantly senior communities where folks are moving. This allows us a warm introduction to referrals from our partners and allows us to demonstrate a one-stop-shop to cold prospects.
Marketing Strategy
Focusing on omnipresence to a niche market of "downsizers" in our area results in hearing feedback such as "I see you everywhere!". The strategy can be described as a multi-channel approach leveraging digital paid advertising, direct mail, pop-by gifts, and email coupled with phone calls, texts, video texts, and handwritten notes for people who raise their hand. The messaging is simple: We are Realtors, in fact we're also much more. We are a done for you solution for every facet of downsizing.

Coaching Benefits
Coaching has been instrumental in propelling my career in a very short time. I was first licensed in March of 2020, didn't sell anything until November. Had $1.6M in total sales by May of 2021 and joined TF Elite Coaching. Since then coaching has been rocket fuel. I learned systems and processes and sales strategies that allowed me to personally sell 55 sides and over $20M in volume in 2023 while leading a team who did nearly another $20M and landed us on America's Best list inside 3 years.
