Alex invites Obi Dorsey onto the show to discuss how Meetup.com is working out for him. Obi is the Founder and Owner of Freedom REI, and has been in business for the last 3.5 years. Obi currently does about 12-16 deals a month, and has made some excellent connections through the meetup group he started just this year alone. Find out more on how Obi structures and markets the meetup, on this week’s show!

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Who is Obi and how did he get started in real estate?
  • The more you give, the more you get.
  • Obi started his first meetup group on the website Meetup.com in January.
  • Obi has been hosting a meetup once every month since then. His May meetup had 110 people attending.
  • When Obi started the group, he just wanted to network and meet some people. However, he is deathly afraid of public speaking and it is still something he’s trying to get over.
  • Obi was scared to start the group, which is good, because he knew he was stepping out of his comfort zone and going in the right direction.
  • What results has Obi seen after hosting these 5 meetup groups so far?
  • How do you start your own meetups?
  • Start where you are. You don’t need a big fancy venue to start these events.
  • How did Obi market the meetup? Word of mouth? Email?
  • Obi makes a conscious effort to not make the meetup about him. It’s about meeting cool people who are doing cool things.
  • How does Obi structure the meetups? Is there an agenda?
  • How has Obi built a business where he’s able to consistently do 12-16 deals a month?
  • You’re literally one deal away from changing your life.

Alex received a question from Shane, who is currently running a direct mail probate campaign. How often should he follow up? Every direct mail campaign is different and certain markets require more follow-up than others. For this week’s show, Alex discusses what his sweet spot is when it comes to direct mail follow-ups and why sending just one campaign out is a waste of money!

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Shane writes in and asks how often he should send follow-ups on his direct mail campaign.
  • Response rates are down throughout the country.
  • Despite this, Alex is still getting a lot of success out of his direct mail campaign. It’s in the middle of May, and he’s already got 6-figures in profits.
  • A sweet spot for Alex when it comes to follow-up, is around 6 week intervals.
  • Don’t wait three months to send a follow-up!
  • Sending just one campaign is a waste of money. You have to be consistent with it.
  • Keep sending your questions to Alex!

Cris Chico is ready to kick off this episode and talk about why potential team members should take the Kolbe A Index Test before you hire them.

Cris is a close friend of Alex, return guest, and was actually the first person to be interviewed for Alex’s show! Cris doesn’t hire people unless they take the Kolbe Test because he needs to know both their strengths and weakness, and how well they’ll get along with the rest of the team.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Cris was the first guest to kick off the podcast, and now he’s back again 100+ episodes later!
  • What is the Kolbe A Index Test about?
  • Alex has made hiring mistakes and hired the wrong types of people for the job. Kolbe makes it easy to see straight away if a position fits naturally for the person being hired for the job.
  • So much money is spent on training, and so having someone leave 5-6 months later really is a blow to your resources.
  • Cris shares what his score is on Kolbe, and gives you an idea of what to expect from the test.
  • None of the test results you get are bad. These results help give you a clear understanding of how you work.
  • Cris shares why he’s a horrible salesperson, and what kind of results you should look for when hiring an acquisitions manager.
  • When you understand how your team works on a fundamental level, you will also become a better and more relaxed boss.
  • What’s the first step? Take the Kolbe test yourself.
  • Cris discusses Kolbe scores for an admin, transaction coordinator, VA, and sales person, and helps give you a general idea of what you should look for in a team.
  • Don’t be so hard on yourself. This test is not about fixing your weaknesses, it’s about understanding your MO.
  • You can save yourself so much time and headaches just by this simple test.
  • Cris will be launching a YouTube channel. Stay tuned for more info!

Alex discusses the power of investing into relationships. Real estate investing is a people business, and the best way to get ahead is to be focused — genuinely focused — on serving others. How can you help the seller the best way you can? Do they need any additional help with the moving process? Little details go a long way in making you memorable and personable.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Remember, you’re in the people business. This means you need to invest in people!
  • When you really care about people, more money comes to you.
  • Where are you investing your time?
  • Alex recently started sending gifts to the seller whenever he and his team close on a deal.
  • You’re a problem solver. How can you help the seller the best way you can?
  • It’s important to have a game plan and a well-thought out strategy on how you can best serve people with the time you have.

Alex does a quick 10-minute episode to answer some questions about the importance of the follow up. He’s received a couple of messages about this on Facebook recently, and wants to bring home the message of why you can’t leave leads, even if they’re years old, alone and in the cold.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Reach out to other real estate investors, and not just the ones in your local market!
  • If you have some people you already know, like, and trust, reach out to them and strike a JV partnership with them.
  • You’ve gotta have a follow-up system in place. If you don’t, you’re leaving so much on the table.
  • The follow-up system is just as important, or even more important, than the marketing.
  • You can 2x to 5x your business, just by the follow up alone.
  • Remember, if you like the show, please rate us on iTunes!

Alex received a question on how he, and others, structure their day efficiently. This is a tough question to answer, because everybody has a different schedule, and what works for Alex may not work for you. The best way to find the schedule that works for you is to experiment! Write down your vision and how you’d like to design your business, and then focus on a lifestyle/schedule that matches it!

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Alex’s new baby girl is about to be arriving soon!
  • Are you getting the results you want?
  • How do Alex and other successful real estate investors structure their day?
  • If you’re aspiring to be at a certain level, find people that are doing what you want to be doing.
  • What’s the vision that you have for your life and for your business?
  • Get your vision down on paper!
  • Every week experiment with different daily routines until you find something that works for you.
  • Alex can tell you his routine, but it might not work for you and in your particular case!
  • For example, Alex experimented between waking up at 4am and at 7am.
  • Try to eliminate the feeling of always feeling busy, and focus your efforts on working efficiently, and smarter.
  • Block off your time for your family, and then fit in the business tasks!
