Adrian Nez is a real estate investor and works with Trevor Mauch at Investor Carrot. He is an expert at online lead generation and conversion optimization. Last week’s master class episode focused on the balance of living life and running a business, but this week Alex and Adrian will be getting into how to market more effectively to your ideal clients. The standard marketing tactics just don’t work anymore, you gotta get smarter and stand out from your competition!

Key Takeaways:

Be sure to listen to Episode 162! Alex does a quick recap on what you might have missed.
Some people focus too much on the platforms instead of the marketing 101s.
Do you have a traffic problem or a conversion problem? That’s what you need to figure out first.
As people and marketers, we tend to blame the tools but never ourselves.
Who is your ideal customer? What’s their true problem? Don’t overlook the customer.
Sellers are suspicious of us. What we’re offering sounds too good to be true, so it’s important to take a step back and understand the psychology of a motivated seller.
There are news pieces that run all the time about the dangers of Craigslist and cold call scammers.
People are more educated now. The markets tactics that worked 10 years ago, just don’t work anymore because everyone is doing it.
Put your customer in the forefront and you’ll have an easier time figuring out where and how to market to them.
How do you discover who your ideal customer is?
Adrian shares some of his ad retargeting tips.

EP162: Adrian Nez on How to Balance Your Life and Grow Your Business — Part 1 0

Dec 18, 2017

Adrian Nez is a real estate investor and works with Trevor Mauch at Investor Carrot. He is an expert at online lead generation and conversion optimization. On today’s episode, Alex decided to split Adrian’s interview into two parts. This first part dives into Adrian’s personal journey. He reveals that he stopped trusting in God when he became successful and that was a big, big mistake. The second episode dives into Adrian’s expertise, inbound marketing, and how he uses it to grow his business.

Key Takeaways:

Adrian shares his story on this week’s episode and really get personal with some of the mistakes he's made. This is why Alex has broken the interview up into two parts.
Part 1 will dive into Adrian’s journey and how to structure balance in your life and part 2 will be diving into how you can grow your business through inbound marketing.
Who is Adrian and how did he get into real estate?
Adrian’s inbound marketing career started at Investor Carrot, which is Trevor Mauch’s company (Trevor has been a guest on the show).
Anytime you serve, you’re sowing seeds for your future.
When you have faith in God, He will always deliver.
It wasn’t easy for Adrian to pack up and move to West Virginia, but he knew he had a calling and God was sending him a message. He believes sometimes people ignore those messages because they’re afraid of the unknown. You need to have faith He will take care of you.
With that being said, Adrian was working very hard and he began to lose focus on what really mattered. The relationship with his wife ended up suffering for it.
Unless you keep a solid relationship with God, everything else begins to crumble and that was Adrian’s downfall. He stopped trusting in God.
Adrian trusted Him when he didn’t know where to go, but then when success came his way, he lost his way.
It’s important to surround yourself with the right people who share your same values and understand what it’s like running a business.
It’s also important to be transparent about the struggles you’re going through. It helps others not feel ‘so alone.’
Sometimes people don’t share these personal struggles because they feel as though they need to think positive, but Adrian admits that’s just not the reality for people going through hard times. You gotta talk about it and get support.
Adrian highly recommends watching the ESPN documentary about Ric Flair. His passion ended up being his disease. Any business owner can relate to Ric’s story.
Find a mentor that’s 2-3 years ahead of you. They can still teach you what they’re great at because it’s so fresh for them.
Don’t let your ambition and vision be turned into a curse 20 or 30 years down the line.

EP161: Challenge Yourself to Think Bigger and Elevate Your Game 0

Dec 14, 2017

Alex recently raised $15,000 for charity. This money will be used to buy toys for the children who were displaced by Hurricane Irma. However, to be completely honest, Alex was thinking too small about this charity event. His original idea was only going to generate a couple of hundred toys for these children, but by talking to his friend Mark Evans (who runs a very high-level business), he was able to think bigger and raise his game. Because of it, Alex is now able to donate a couple of thousand toys and will be able to help many more children.

In the meat and potatoes of the episode, Alex dives into how you can help your sellers not go through ‘seller’s remorse.’ This is something Alex and his team have been perfecting over the year and Alex shares the things they’ve been doing to not lose their sellers mid-way through a deal. These tactics are especially helpful in hot, hot markets!

Key Takeaways:

Thank you for your support! Hopefully you’ve had a great year and have become a better version of yourself!
A couple of weeks ago Alex and Eric Stark hosted their first holiday mastermind in the local South Florida area. They raised over $15k!
They will be donating this money to over 500 kids whose families were displaced by Hurricane Irma.
Alex credits Mark Evans for helping him think ‘bigger’ about to help these families.
Alex wants to challenge you to think bigger as we head into the new year.
Alex, Eric, and Mark are thinking about how they can 10x this charity event for the next year.
Have a conversation with someone who is operating on a higher level than you. They will help you elevate your game and help you think bigger.
Use your platform, like your social media accounts, for good.
Interested in what the charity work Eric is doing? Reach out to Alex!
How can you prevent seller’s remorse?
Before you sign that contract, make sure you get 100% buy-in from that seller.
Sellers can not take their signed contract seriously and they can really do damage/waste your time.
When you want to try to convince a seller to work exclusively with you, tell a cautionary (and true) story about the consequences. Alex shares an example of what he means by this.
After a successful closing, ask the seller for feedback! Ask them why they picked you over other people.
Always keep in contact and communicate with your seller. One of Alex’s transaction coordinators sometimes talks daily with their sellers.

Gabriel Garcia is the Vice President of FL Home Cash Buyers, LLC. Gabriel started wholesaling in 2013 and today he and his business partner are hitting 7-figures. How did Gabriel go from one deal to 90 within a short amount of time? How does he do it without killing himself on 80-hour work weeks and sacrificing family life? Gabriel goes into a deep dive on how he made it all work without compromising his values and vision and also shares the business principles (that you can use no matter what industry you’re in) he learned from losing $200,000 on failed rehab projects.

Key Takeaways:

Gabriel got really serious about real estate investing in 2013. Fast forward to today and he and his partner have a 7-figure a year business. How did Gabriel grow so fast?
Who is Gabriel and why did he get into real estate?
Gabriel closed his first deal, with the help of a mentor, in 4-5 months after starting.
Today, Gabriel is looking to do about $2,000.000 in revenue and 90 wholesale deals. In the month of November, he had a $300,000 revenue, his best month ever!
At the end of the day, it comes down to vision. It comes down making a decision on what you want your life to look like.
What do you want your business to do for you and your family? Start with the end in mind.
How did Gabriel go from closing one deal a month to today? How did he do it without working his face off?
Again, it’s all about the mindset. It sounds crazy/unbelievable, but it’s the driving force.
Set your boundaries. There were plenty of times where Gabriel and his business partner could have worked weekends, but they never did.
Instead of hustling on Fridays like everyone else, Gabriel would sit and discuss ways to make the business better and if they were still being true to their vision.
The challenges in your life are what sharpen your expertise!
Gabriel also does rehabs on top of wholesaling. How was he able to get into two niches without killing himself?
Gabriel talks about a cash flow formula that has really helped him. He learned it from the book Scaling Up.
The more successful you become the more opportunities that come your way. This is actually a bad thing because it then becomes that much harder to avoid shiny object syndrome.
What will this new opportunity cost you? You have to weigh the pros and cons.
What CRM does Gabriel use?
Where does Gabriel see the market going in the next six-months-to-a-year?
Gabriel lost $200,000 this year. Because of it, he set systems in place to never be in a position like that again. Your business needs a cushion to sit on.
Your personal life and your business both need an ‘oh no’ fund.
Gabriel puts 6% away into his profit account and then puts another 5% into the tax account after every single closing. He makes sure everything is covered and there are no surprises.
What are Gabriel’s thoughts on how to build long-term wealth?
