What a rookie Realtor can teach us about massive Internet success

Imagine you are a new real estate agent (I know you probably aren’t, but play along for a moment). This story will apply to you no matter what business you are in.
Even your eBay business can benefit from this lesson.
As a new agent you get TONS of advice from everyone about how to succeed selling homes. How to advertise, how to “close leads”, how to “network”, how to get listings, how to hold open houses, what park benches to advertise on etc.
Seasoned agents are telling you it can take years to succeed and it will cost you all your weekends and evenings.
It’s disheartening for a newbie.
Meet my client Andy…
As a new agent trying to sell houses all that “bad news” wasn’t good enough for him. Andy didn’t want to work weekends, network, send out flyers, make cold calls or wait years to make it big.
Andy was BRAND new to selling houses and he decided to do something VERY simple and VERY different from all his peers. Andy set up an automated Internet based sales funnel. Here’s how he did it:
Step 1: He stopped ALL forms of advertising, all open houses, all cold calling, all postal mailings etc.
Step 2: He bought some Pay Per click ads from Google (takes a few hours one day to set up)
Step 3: He sent those leads to a simple one page website I call a squeeze page (takes a day to set up)
Here’s where it gets good…
Step 4: Over the next 8 months Andy sold more houses and made more commissions than 99.9% of all agents in his state without ever spending a dime on advertising. Yes - even the ads on Google are paid for by someone else that he shares the leads with.
To be exact he sold 83 homes in 8 months without spending a dime on advertising.
Read that sentence again…it’s pretty astounding. Those results are simply UNHEARD OF in real estate.
That’s the 100% TRUE story of a client of mine. Andrew Higgins is now one of the top agents in the state of Indiana.
Why should you care? Because it is a great illustration of the simple, untapped power of the Internet and the “sales funnel” strategy that I’m always talking about.
As a result of the success Andy is having agents all over the world are BEGGING us to show them how we do it. So after much consideration we wrote a free book spilling the ENTIRE system for the world to see.
We honestly may have to pull some info OUT OF THIS BOOK because we really do give it all away.
Get the book now at N0 C0ST at the below link (even if you don’t sell houses for a living you’ll learn how easily this can be done with ANY business):
The title is: “How I sold 83 Homes in 8 Months with Zero Marketing Expense”
The “sales funnel” approach has been EXTREMELY successful for us and is being illustrated in TWO DISTINCT WAYS as part of this story.
First, a funnel is being used by Andy to sell homes.
Second, a funnel is being used as we pass out our GREAT book and share our success with other agents.
Read the book and observe both funnels at work. It can be applied to ANY business!
Want to watch a quick video refresher about how to use a simple “sales funnel”? Here’s a link to a very popular video I made about one month ago - go watch it again:

ONE LAST THING…
Can I PLEASE pay you to give this “83 Homes in 8 Months…” book away to any agents you know?
If you do know a real estate agent (who doesn’t!?) that would like to completely change the way they do business give them a BRANDED copy of this book. You’ll get a very generous commission if they decide to let us help them change their business.
Even if they don’t wind up working with us I guarantee you will open their eyes to a whole new world of possibility. Be prepared though - they aren’t likely to believe the results or the simplicity of it, but I stake my reputation that’s it’s 100% true and legit.
In order to get a branded copy of the book you’ll have to join the affiliate program at 838system.com. You can also call Andy’s office if you want. The phone number is right on the 838system.com website.
P.S. If this book sounds familiar it’s because I told some of my subscribers about this project several months ago, but the book has been greatly expanded and improved since then with a lot more detail. Go get a free copy at http://www.838system.com.

That’s a great story of how salespeople can do things differently and go against all the advice of their peers and completely smash all expectations and norms with their selling. I just wish more people would be open to these methods instead of listening to their 60 year old mentors who know NOTHING about these new techniques.
