Scott Malouff was a professional club promoter at age 12, first for teen parties and later for adults. From Pitbull to Fabulous, he’s worked with all the big names. That’s why it’s no surprise that, now, as a real estate professional, Scott’s specialty is events. Scott is our guest on the show today and shares with us some tricks of the trade.

We get into picking the right venue, budget, sponsors, and more. Not only are Scott’s events an engine for creating and maintaining clients, but he even makes a profit off of them.

Scott is also a pro at “micro” events. His “50 first dates” model is going to revolutionize the way you think about developing your relationship database.

From his signature hats to his unstoppable drive to improve lives, Scott is a force to behold. We’d all be wise to learn from him.

If you think you’ve heard everything there is to hear about annual business planning, think again. David Huffaker’s team makes north of $500 million in annual sales. That’s not by accident. David is our guest on the show today and he’s here to teach us his business plan models and formulas.

We go over the PACE planning (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency Plan) and the LIVE budgeting model (Luxury, Investments, Vacations, Enough). Then, we cover how to set targets and caps for profit margins, expenses, cost of sale, and number of agreements. David even shares his math model around where leads come from and how those leads are distributed across Q1-Q4.

David is a math guy, but you don’t have to be. He explains his models in a down-to-earth way so you can directly apply them to your business plan. So listen up, and then go out and do the good work you do!

Taylor Swift has superfans all over the globe. So does Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. Do you know who helped them get those superfans? Brittany Hodak. Brittany is our guest on the podcast today.

Just like music stars, real estate professionals need superfans. It is not enough to get a repeat client or have a database full of contacts. You need people who are going to go out there and evangelize for you. Brittany’s new book “Creating Superfans” explains exactly how to make this happen.

On today’s show, Brittany walks us through the basics: Start with your story, understand your customer’s story, personalize everything, exceed expectations, and repeat.

Be sure to check out Brittany’s book, and the next time you see Taylor Swift, remember you can create superfans, too.

Richard Schulman has something he calls the “Trader Joe’s rule.” It means that if he were to bump into any person in his database at Trader Joe’s, he’d be able to remember who they are, what kind of real estate they are interested in, and any past conversations they’ve had. That rule has led him to do $165 million in sales perennially, 100% based on referrals and relationships.

Richard joins the show today to share the system behind the rule and his dogged persistence in building relationships with his database.

We talk about spending time on relationship-building rather than money on marketing. Richard explains the power of a quick coffee with someone to become their friend and emphasizes the importance of providing value over making sales pitches.

People like to work with a friend they can trust. Richard gives us a masterclass on how to become that friend.
