Week #4: Past Clients and COI

  • This is one method of prospecting — Extremely important
  • If everything else doesn’t work — Past Clients/COI should be a focal point
  • Of top agents: 30-40% of their sales come from past Clients/COI
  • Accumulate this list — Everyone should be able to create a list of 100 people. Add your past Clients to this list
  1. You have to get clear that Past Clients/COI are your personal gold mine or your biggest business asset
  2. Treat them with respect because they will allow your business to grow
  3. 10% rule — Take total # of your database >> If you work the system property, 10% will either do a deal with you or refer you a deal every year. (If you have 200 people you will receive 20 deals per year.) What % are you getting now from your database?
  4. Don’t hesitate to call the ones you haven’t called in a while – They haven’t been sitting around waiting for your call

  8. Always make these calls with high levels of energy and enthusiasm – draws people to you
