Three Things We Learned From This Episode

• Outsource time-consuming, low-value tasks
  Our lives would be less cluttered if we outsourced the time-consuming tasks that must be done but don’t bring much value. When we gain more hours in our business by eliminating the mundane work, we are free to focus on high-value activities. The best hires are those that complement our weaknesses and allow us to focus on what we’re good at.

   

• Get creative with your marketing tactics
  There are certain marketing channels that are extremely cluttered, and fewer and fewer people find those effective. These include email campaigns and phone calls. We can’t stand out by doing what everyone else is doing. While the inbox gets more cluttered, the mailbox doesn’t. Flyers and magazines are offer great opportunities to get in touch with your database without ending up in the spam folder.

   

• Excellent customer service is the strongest form of marketing
  Superb customer service is not only a must for clients, but also agents we collaborate with. We have to deliver excellent customer service to the agents in our market. They may decide to bring us referrals depending on the experience they have with us.
