These types of results speak volumes about Ferry's ability to help agents succeed. When an industry icon like Tom Ferry offers advice, agents listen.

 

An Early Pioneer in Real Estate Coaching

Tom Ferry was one of the early pioneers of real estate coaching starting in the 1980s alongside his father, Mike Ferry. At the time, real estate coaching was a new concept. Most agents learned via trial-and-error or from brokers.

Ferry and his father recognized the positive impact that expert coaching could provide real estate agents. They became evangelists for the real estate coaching profession.

As coaching gained popularity in the 1990s and 2000s, Tom Ferry quickly established himself as a leader in the space. His monumental success over the past 30+ years is a testament to his vision.

 

Available in Multiple Formats

Another reason Ferry is a trusted resource is the variety of formats he provides his training in. Real estate professionals can learn from Ferry through:

  • LIVE Events - Ferry speaks at numerous real estate conferences. He also hosts his own LIVE Master Class events.

  • The Tom Ferry Show Podcast - Weekly motivation and interviews with top industry professionals.

  • Blog Articles and Videos - Ferry provides free tips, strategies, and motivation.

  • Social Media - Ferry shares short daily insights via Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more.

  • The Tom Ferry Coaching Program - One-on-one and group coaching calls. Customized action plans.

This multiline approach allows agents to learn in the format they prefer and on their own schedule. Consuming Ferry's insights across platforms helps the training stick better.

 

An Early Tech Adopter in Real Estate

As technology has played an increasingly important role in real estate, Tom Ferry has been quick to adopt new solutions to help his coaching clients succeed.

For example, back in the early 2000s when online lead gen was still new in real estate, Ferry was already teaching agents how to capture and convert internet leads. He understood the impact sites like Realtor.com would have.

Today, he continues to provide leading-edge tech guidance to real estate professionals. This helps them stay ahead of the curve and use technology to their advantage rather than be disrupted by it.

In summary, Tom Ferry has earned immense trust and respect across the real estate industry. For agents and brokers who want to take their business to the next level, few people offer the track record, expertise, and value that Ferry does. He's a wise investment for any serious real estate pro.

  • Leverage personal outreach at scale to nurture your database (texts, videos, calls, etc).

  • Balance brand building with lead generation activities.

  • Know your customers and tailor messaging based on lead source.

  • Implement systems to identify and prioritize high-intent leads.

  • Prepare financially and mentally for inevitable market shifts.

In this first video, Tom shares some of his hard-earned database marketing wisdom that all agents should tap into:

The Future of Digital Marketing Tom Ferry Breakout Session with Jason Pantana & Ylopo Co-Founders

A conversation between Ylopo's founders and coach, speaker, and trainer Jason Pantana from Tom Ferry International where they demonstrate how Ylopo’s unique technology can empower agents to implement cutting-edge digital marketing strategies.

Key Takeaways:

  • Use dynamic targeting and retargeting across platforms like Facebook and Google to engage buyers/sellers.

  • Nurture leads on autopilot with AI chatbots to provide a high-touch experience.

  • Focus on building a large lead database over time to generate more commissions.

  • Create targeted, timely marketing campaigns leveraging client data and behaviors.

  • Deliver value to leads through things like feature-rich home search tools.

  • Take advantage of low-cost digital advertising options and use dynamic creative.

  • Automate lead engagement while still providing a personalized experience.

1. Constantly Nurture Your Sphere of Influence

Ongoing nurturing is the key to success. Don't just call people when you need deals. Use text, email, phone, and even video tools to stay top of mind. Build rapport before people are ready to transact.

2. Leverage Personal Outreach at Scale

Don't get too big to deliver personal touches. Tom gives out his cell number widely and records individual video messages. Technology lets small teams mimic large team nurturing.

3. Customize Messaging Based on Lead Source

Not all leads equal. Target outreach based on lead context. Example - a Zillow lead needs different follow-up than a FB ad click. Personalize for each channel.

4. Ask Questions That Get Stories

Canned scripts weaken connections. Ask them questions like "How has COVID impacted your feelings on home?" Get them talking about personal experiences and emotions.

5. Balance Brand and Lead Gen Activities

It's not all lead gen. Consistently market yourself as a community expert too through content, events, and networking. Avoid looking salesy.

6. Have Specialists for Different Functions

As you grow, delegate to specialists - ISAs for lead nurturing, content teams, ops managers, etc. Don't try doing everything at scale.

Tom Ferry's timeless real estate insights extend far beyond just these examples. But implementing even portions of his database marketing methodology at your real estate business can drive tremendous growth.

The key is consistency across your entire database, not just when deals are on the table. By truly nurturing people over months and years, you build trust and become their obvious choice when ready to transact.
