We had a fantastic time speaking at today’s Lunch & Learn about choosing the right service vendors for your clients!

Thank you to everyone who took time out of your busy schedules to join us. We enjoyed discussing how the vendors you recommend can directly impact your reputation, client satisfaction, and long-term success.

We covered topics including:
✅ What separates a reliable vendor from a liability
✅ Red flags to watch for
✅ Why communication, licensing, and insurance matter
✅ Building a trusted referral network
✅ How strong vendor relationships create better outcomes for everyone

Our goal wasn’t to sell—it was to provide practical information that helps Realtors®, property managers, and industry professionals better serve their clients.

A special thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the discussion. We truly appreciate the opportunity to connect with so many dedicated professionals throughout Southwest Florida.

If your office, brokerage, or organization would like to host a complimentary Lunch & Learn, we’d love to come speak with your team. Feel free to send us a message to schedule a session!

If I only had $500 a month to market my business… here’s exactly what I’d do.

Most business owners would spend it on Facebook ads.

I wouldn’t.

Here’s where I’d invest every dollar instead:

✅ Build relationships with referral partners.

✅ Ask every happy customer for a Google review.

✅ Visit local businesses every week.

✅ Create content that answers your customers’ biggest questions.

✅ Run one highly targeted ad—not ten random ones.

The truth?

Marketing isn’t about having the biggest budget. It’s about making the smartest moves.

I’ve watched businesses spend $5,000 a month and get almost nothing.

I’ve also watched businesses spend $500 and stay booked because they focused on relationships instead of impressions.

If I gave you $500 today…

How would you spend it to grow your business?

I’d love to hear your answer.

3 Things You Can Do TODAY to Get More Phone Calls

1. Call Your Existing Customers

☎️ Most businesses ignore the easiest money they’ll ever make.

Call your last 25-50 customers and simply ask:

“Hey, just checking in. Is there anything we can help you with? And do you know anyone who might need us?”

You’ll be surprised how many jobs come from one afternoon of follow-up.

⸻

2. Ask for Google Reviews (Then Post Them)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every new review builds trust.

After every completed job, send a direct Google review link.

Then turn that review into a Facebook post with:

“Another happy customer! Thank you for trusting us.”

Reviews create credibility, and credibility creates phone calls.

⸻

3. Visit 10 Businesses in Person

🤝

Stop hiding behind your computer.

Walk into 10 businesses that serve the same customers you do.

Introduce yourself.

Leave your card.

Ask:

“How can we help each other grow?”

One good referral partner can send dozens of leads every year.

Marketing doesn’t have to be complicated.
