Rainmaker Real Estate Agent - Updated for 2018

A Realtor Marketing Series Title

If you are a Rainmaker real estate agent you probably have asked yourself from time to time, “How can I consistently and effectively get more listing leads?”

As a top producing Rainmaker Realtor®, you share one thing in common with other successful agents. You have a burning desire to get more listings, make more sales and achieve the goals you have set on earnings for yourself or your team.

This is not a general real estate marketing book covering the basics of being an agent. Instead it is a targeted missive on how to get seller leads and convert them to listings.

˃˃˃ What is a Rainmaker?

There as many different types of Rainmakers as there are snowflakes from the sky. I have met Rainmakers who are shy and sit behind their computer all day. I have met networking Rainmakers and marketing Rainmakers.

What I have never met is a lazy Rainmaker.

Rainmakers are like the Energizer Bunny. They like to come up with new ideas and figure out new ways to find business. They read books like this one, attend panels of listing agents at conventions and are willing to try things that are not exclusively made “for Realtors®”.

They are not timid little lambs who are willing to wait around for leads. No matter their personality type, they are out there pushing the boundaries of what normal agents think are reasonable levels of work or effort.

If you were bold enough to pick up a book that throws down a title like that, you are definitely bold enough to be a Rainmaker Real Estate Agent!

It is time to stop the merry-go-round and regain control!

˃˃˃ Key Quotes

As an Entrepreneur in today’s fast paced marketing world, it can be a challenge to keep your eyes on the goal and not be distracted and tempted by the endless supply of shiny new objects.

Commitment to working hard is rarely the Entrepreneur’s problem. Commitment to working smart, in one fixed direction with a plan, is a little harder to master.

We have talked candidly with over a thousand Entrepreneurs and very few of them have achieved what they think they should have, no matter what point in their business they are at, in the timeline they originally expected.

Entrepreneurs with ADHD thrive on learning new things and there is nothing sexier in the business world than a shiny new marketing program.

Give yourself a little leeway to dream, but stop thinking that there is a magical land where your entire marketing plan will be perfect.

SEO Marketing

How To Use Search Engine Optimization To Sell

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has undergone some tremendous changes in the last few years. There have been updates from Google which are good for some and bad for others, the rise of Social Media and a proliferation of different ways to get information including Mobile Apps. Throughout it all, one thing hasn’t changed; the ability to use content optimizing keywords to bring people to your website.

˃˃˃ About The Book

This booklet is designed to help you with SEO as it is today in the summer/fall of 2014. The reason it is not a ponderous tome, several hundred pages long, is that it will probably be at least a little obsolete by the end of the month and totally out of touch by next year. As we said, SEO is a fast moving target and all you can try to do is keep up as well as possible.

We will cover:

Bad SEO Practices
Upcoming Search Trends
Universal Search
Picking Your Keywords
Content Marketing
Guest Posts
Social SEO
Local SEO
BONUS: Using Your SEO Skills For Social Media

˃˃˃ Quotes

There is probably not a soul with a business who has not received a phone call or email from an SEO company stating that they can “get you to #1 on Google”. It is amazing that this tactic still works, but so does the “dead uncle in Nigeria who wants to send you money”, so maybe it is just a universal human wish to be able to take a shortcut.

...there is no way any company can guarantee that they will get you to the top of Google. Maybe years ago there was a single static #1 listing, but today there is no way to guarantee that.

Unless you have a nationally recognized website already, you are probably not going to be able to rank highly for single word keywords, and why would you want to? There are some very simple things that you can do to increase your local search rankings, and some that are beyond your control There are a number of things you can do to make your videos more popular and all of them are just good SEO practices.

“I got a lot of information about how to present myself differently, how to market myself differently, and holy crap, how to share what I do with people, speaking in a way that is both powerful and effective, finding the venues that can support me in doing that. And what is even more surprising is that even though I thought some of the more traditional venues might not fit me, they showed me ways that they do.”

The ROI of Social Media

How To Be Sure Your Marketing Is Making Money

It is common knowledge that in today’s world, for a business to have any hope of competing for revenues it must be actively marketing via social media platforms. However, unlike traditional old school marketing methods, the return on investment of time and budget can be difficult, if not almost impossible, to track.

There is no longer a direct line from original exposure to conversion to validate a company’s marketing efforts or dollars. This can lead a business to question the value of social media marketing and foster a lack of faith in even the most devoted of marketing teams.

The problem is not social media. The problem is that most businesses have yet to understand the vast difference in the way information is consumed on social platforms and adapt their marketing strategies effectively.

If you are a business owner who is wondering if it’s really worth it to incorporate social marketing and what kind of returns you can expect on your investment, this book will inform and enlighten you, helping you understand how your social is (or isn’t) making you money.

˃˃˃ What To Measure

There are at least 10 metrics that can be measured that will show the effectiveness of social media marketing campaigns. These include:

Social site connection counts
Social interactions
Influencer engagement
Public relations mentions
Website hits
Sales
funnels
Database leads generated
Inbound phone calls
Demo requests
Sales
BONUS: Branding and Social Positioning

This book will be taking a hard look at how companies can measure the ROI of social media. As you can tell from the list enumerated previously, only one of the ten ways will involve a direct sale, the other nine are a more ephemeral nature, although still vital to your social efforts.

˃˃˃ Quotes

Today’s marketing path looks more like a child chasing a butterfly than an army regiment marching into battle in ordered lines.

There are at least 10 metrics that can be measured that will show the effectiveness of social media marketing campaigns.

...early on social media was touted as a free marketing channel. That misnomer stuck and businesses great and small are struggling to understand why their social isn’t free when everyone else seems to be succeeding without spending a dime.

It is not a case of social being good for B2C and bad for B2B, simply a case of how well you can target your message to the medium that you choose to use.

Unless you are a beloved brand like Apple or Starbucks, it is hard to get enough traction ...to really see a big engagement. Many of the changes that the social sites make are detrimental to using the free marketing available.
