Recorded Live on November 16, 2023

These episodes are recorded as a live Question and Answer Mastermind with participation from agents and investors across the country. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for future episodes!

In today’s episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast, the conversation centered on creative prospecting strategies, strengthening referral pipelines, and adapting to industry changes following the recent NAR ruling. Bruce outlined ways to layer outreach channels via phone calls, direct mail, and in-person visits to increase contact rates and stay top-of-mind, while also noting how shifting buyer–agent dynamics may require more transparent value propositions. Jim stressed the importance of keeping momentum through simple, daily lead-generation habits, and Tim encouraged agents to lean on scripts as a flexible framework, adapting naturally to each conversation in light of heightened client expectations. The panel explored approaches for differentiating in competitive markets, including offering estate clean-out resources, probate process education, and partnerships with trusted vendors to create a full-service experience. These elements can also help demonstrate value in a post-NAR-ruling environment. Several members shared wins from persistent follow-up, underscoring that revisiting older leads can reveal new opportunities, especially as clients reassess their options. The discussion rounded out with tips for building attorney and vendor relationships through consistent value delivery, event invitations, and regular check-ins. The episode closed with the reminder that mastery comes from repetition, authenticity, and an unwavering service-first mindset, which are qualities that will be even more critical as agents navigate the evolving real estate landscape.
