How many hours a day should an agent be prospecting?
“I think it’s less about time and more about strategy. Most important prospecting calls are to
your past clients and sphere of influence; if you can call them at least once a quarter, that’s
ideal. So if you have 500 in that core group, I’ll take 10 weeks (50 a week, over 5 work days in
a week, that’s 10 a day). The next part of the strategy is based on many deals I want to close,
where are they going to come from, beyond my sphere? Geographic farm? Expireds?
Internet Leads? How many from each? Then how many calls will generate me those sales?
Always beginning with the end in mind, developing a plan for each “silo” of business, then
evaluating regularly to figure out what’s working, what isn’t, and how long to change it.”

The Importance of Farming (OWNING) a Specific Neighborhood?
“Again, this depends on your strategy. If you want to close 60 transactions a year, and just
calling and mailing your database can do that for you, then it’s not important. For most
people, it’s a balanced strategy of repeat/referral with the NEW business to hit goals, and for
the vast majority it makes sense to geographic farm. If that’s the case, then OWN that
neighborhood. Don’t mess around. Do your homework to make sure someone else isn’t
already owning it. You can spend a fortune trying to take a little market share from someone
who’s dominating. Or, you can find an area not dominated, and build your plan to own it
over the next two years.”

Which neighborhood to pick?– Close to recent transactions and spheres of influence?
The area YOU live in? Where your kids go to school?
The neighborhood where your church is located? Near
a place you volunteer at?
Start with one neighborhood…then two…then
eventually perhaps a zip code?

“Most people want to cast a really wide net but the reality
is that you want to cast a really small narrow net. And be the
one main thing for everybody within that net and community.
And Cole allows you to be able to gather that information and
like an arrow, pinpoint who it is exactly that you want to go
after. And engage them in meaningful conversations that are
relevant to them and their community. Then grow in concentric
circles from there. So once you own one neighborhood then you
can move onto the next….”

• How do you become the real estate agent of choice in a particular neighborhood or market? Rob Chevez uses Cole Realty Resource to identify target prospects and implement the ZONE method of marketing. Since 2007, Chevez has been an active real estate investor with Keller Williams Realty. So active, he closed 110 deals in 2013 alone.
• Zone stands for:
– Zero in on your target market. (pick your area or niche)
– Own the mindshare of that market. (through telephone calls, door knocking, direct mail, advertising, email, etc.)
– Network with people of influence in your target market. (attorneys, accountants, HOA board of directors, pastors, business owners, etc.)
– Engage the community in service. (make sure you give back to your community)

Shortage of existing houses is critical to your success!
• It provides context to your prospecting call.
• May get interest and leads in other neighborhoods.
• Provides future follow-up opportunities.
• Do NOT ask if they are looking to sell. Ask if they know of
anyone? If they are, it will come up in conversation.

“ Once I do door knock, I have the opportunity to have a conversation and the next thing you know, a cousin or niece is looking to find a home. More opportunity for business and even though I may not have as many contacts when I door knock, I do get more results than when I'm calling.”

The Importance of Keeping a Schedule?
“Paramount to long-term, major league success. Otherwise, this business will RUN you.
Smart agents with business mindsets set their own boundaries and teach their market how
business is meant to be done. Weaker agents let their clients dictate their schedules and as a
result burnt out and have no life.”
- Amy Stoehr, Executive Coach
McLean International
Keep a Schedule…

“I started using Cole last year for Just Listed &
Sold calls. When my coach suggested I move
my prospecting up to a higher price point, I
used Cole to target the neighborhoods…I have
listed and sold four homes so far using this
system, two were double-sided. (The product
is) easy to use and well worth the
investment…”

"I started using Cole Realty Resource a
year ago and have been able to increase
my contacts daily. Before using the
program, I was unable to get accurate
numbers from another company. That
changed with Cole Realty Resource. It is
the best source for calling Just listed and
Just solds!"
