About this episode
Developing Dynamic Databases Today's episode is all about mover rates and the importance of regularly updating and growing databases as Matt and Garrett discuss the need to add new people to your database continually and not rely solely on your existing contacts. Given that about 15% of your database will disappear every year due to a variety of factors, our hosts stress the importance of being proactive in seeking out new connections regularly, building relationships with referrals, and focusing on life changes that can drive real estate change. Practical advice to print out databases and highlight gaps in contact information for people is also shared. Our Ninja experts go on to emphasize that growing your database is not just about finding transactions but building relationships with people that can lead to future transactions. They discuss the different levels of building a database, from helping people with real estate to simply talking to people and creating new relationships. Noting that AI can never replace these relationships, Matt and Garrett stress the fact that maintaining them is essential to being irreplaceable in the industry. Ultimately, the message here today is that focusing on your database will lead to its expansion and greater success, as the more people you socialize with, the more opportunities there will be to help people as a trusted professional in their lives.
