BRX Pro Tip: The Key to Successfully Onboarding New Clients

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you this morning. Lee, let’s talk a little bit about onboarding a new client. What’s the key to doing that successfully?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:12] I think, if you want to have a successful onboarding of a customer, there is one thing that has to happen that will kind of lock them down and you’ll have a customer or a good chance to have a customer for life. And that thing is, you have to have them have success or some aha moment where they understand the true potential of whatever it is you’re doing for them, whatever that service is or whatever that product is. So, you have to kind of map out the minimum required number of steps they need in order to have that light bulb moment where they’re like, “Oh, I get this now. Oh, I see how this works. This is going to be great for me.”

Lee Kantor: [00:00:53] So, be clear. They got to have that win early on. We talk about that all the time. They have to have a win early on. And if you can help them get that win, whatever that win is, where the light bulb goes off and they go, “Man, this thing is great. I get this. I’m going to wring out all the value I possibly can from that.” If you could do that quickly, you’re going to have a customer that’s super happy. They’re going to get it. They’re going to be clear on what it is you deliver. And they’re going to want more of it. So, that’s my kind of advice on this regard. Get them a win as quickly as you possibly can.

BRX Pro Tip: Your Technology Works for You, Not the Other Way Around

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, something that we should all keep in mind, your technology works for you, not the other way around.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:14] Yeah. I think this is something that we don’t really appreciate, how much time your devices take away from your day. You have to have the self-discipline to ignore some of these notifications, the emails, the text, all the dinging that goes on and the reminders and all the stuff. You have to have your technology work for you. So, my recommendation is turn off notifications, turn off the phone, close all your tabs except the ones you’re working on. Take back control of your devices and you’ll find that you have a lot more time to do the work that really matters.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:53] It’s so easy to lose focus and to lose the flow if you don’t do this kind of turning off all these notifications. You’re going to get a lot more done if you just block off time in your calendar to say, “Okay. I’m going to dedicate this for deep thinking, deep work, that I’m not going to look at anything else. Or I’m not going to do emails every time a new email comes in. I’m only going to do emails in the morning or the afternoon.” You control your devices, so get them working for you instead of vice versa. It can’t be that your device is kind of dictating your day. You should be dictating your day and your device should be working for you.

Jami Amidon is an intuitive, innovative, creative real estate professional who’s known for bringing joy and peace of mind to the sometimes stressful business of home buying and selling.

While Jami’s real estate career formally started in 2001 when she served on the lending side of transactions, she now serves the residential real estate community in the Raleigh, NC, area.

Looking back, it’s easy to see the passion for the idea of home — how to find it, create it, and enjoy it — showing up throughout Jami’s life.

Her first business, which she started in Texas when she was only 18, was a bridal registry gift shop. That led her to start a catering business with clients straight out of the Who’s Who of that oil town community, including Sen Phil Graham, T Boone Pickens, and Gov Bill Clements.

Later, Jami established a home accessory boutique in Tucson, bringing a fresh approach to the southwest market. Featured in local and national publications, Jami’s shop served clients across the country and ranks high on her list of favorite things she’s ever done!

Working as a real estate advisor to both buyers and sellers represents a natural evolution for Jami, and her business acumen and savvy are part of what has her so competent and sought-after when it comes to real estate transactions. Jami’s high-touch, concierge approach not only ensures people get matched up with spaces and environments that bring joy to their daily lives, but also that they actually enjoy the experience along the way.
