Grow or Die with ChatGPT and AI with Blake Cory
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
ChatGPT is the new buzzword on the internet streets.
Imagine going to a search engine and typing in a question and not having to decipher through different websites. The search engine gives you the answer to your question. It’s like a robot with a giant brain. That’s how ChatGPT works.
With ChatGPT, all you have to do is type your question, and the robot browses through the available web pages and gives you well-compiled answers. The beauty of this software is that it can personalize the data, filter it by your desired results and help you make decisions.
Blake Cory joins me in this episode to expound more on ChatGPT. He shares what it is, and how we can all use it to take our businesses to the next level. Listen and learn.
“Everything we’re about to go over, you’ve got two choices, you get in front of it, and you grow your business exponentially, you supercharge your business, or there’s a high likelihood you’re going to die.” -Blake Cory
Three Things You’ll Learn from the Episode
-
What is ChatGPT?
-
How ChatGPT is going to separate the successful and unsuccessful real estate agents.
-
How can we use AI forecasting tools to predict future profitability in your real estate business?

Conversion and Follow Up with High-End Sellers and Buyers with Elisa Stephano
Thursday Feb 23, 2023
Thursday Feb 23, 2023
How much follow up is too much follow up?
Follow up is critical for any business. People think you’re not hungry enough if you don’t follow up. On the other hand, people think you’re desperate or nagging if you follow up too much. Where do we draw the line between following up and not following up?
Elisa Stephano joins me on the podcast. Elisa picks my brain on what constitutes too much follow up. After a seller became unresponsive, Elisa and her business partner didn’t answer calls or reply to emails. I share some golden nuggets with Elisa. Listen in to learn more.
“A huge part of being a real estate agent is the ability to communicate effectively and retain control with your clients and help them with making big decisions.”- Elisa Stephano
Three Things You’ll Learn from this Episode:
-
Follow up is essential if you want to grow your business. If you don’t follow up, people will think you don’t want the business.
-
When working with people, knowing and understanding their DISC profile is vital. It’ll help you understand how best to work with them.
-
When you feel like you are following up too much, find creative ways of showering your client with value.

What Is The Matchmaker Program?
Thursday Feb 16, 2023
Thursday Feb 16, 2023
The term “matchmaker” isn’t just for the Valentine’s Day holiday - it can also grow your real estate business! I have a matchmaker program on my website, and I genuinely recommend that other agents have one as well. It can help you get more listings in a market with low inventory, and it can help your buyers who are struggling to find the right home. To hear more about a real estate matchmaker program, listen to this podcast.

Wednesday Dec 28, 2022
How safe are you? How sure are you that the person talking to you via phone, email, or SMS is who they say they are?
If you're an agent and get assigned a call, you get an internet lead or a text, and you're curious if it's a real person, a bot, or a fraudster - please do your due diligence.
In this episode, Josh Tilleson joins me on the show to explain how to use forewarn.com to our advantage. I've been using the site for a while and have testimony that it works. According to Josh, Forewarn has information on about 98% of Americans.
Josh teaches us how Forewarn works, along with the red flags and yellow cards to look out for. Plus, we get to hear some inspiring testimonies of people who have worked with Forewarn.
"From a physical safety standpoint, as well as from a fraud standpoint, there's no more vulnerable than real estate." -Josh Tilleson
Three Things You'll Learn
• You're better safe than sorry. We've seen people lose their money due to a lack of due diligence. Master the art of doing your homework before committing to a deal.
• Real estate is vulnerable, and you must be keen enough not to fall victim.
• As an agent, knowing your prospects for more thoughtful and safer engagements are essential.
