Key Takeaways & Action Steps
- Embrace Tech, But Don’t Over-Automate Leverage tools like AI and CRMs to handle routine tasks, freeing you up to focus on personal interactions. Technology should enhance, not replace, your relationships.
- Nurture Your Database Relentlessly Shift from a purely transactional mindset. Reinvesting time and resources into past clients is crucial; they are your most valuable source of repeat and referral business. Implement consistent, value-driven communication.
- Expand Your Referral Network Strategically Look beyond immediate allied vendors. Cultivate relationships with professionals in complementary fields (e.g., family law, probate, senior living facilities) who can become consistent referral pillars over time.
- Find Your Authentic Groove & Be Consistent Whether it’s video, email newsletters, community events, or even a local hobby group (like Sean’s Dad Club!), find marketing and networking methods that genuinely resonate with you. Consistency in your chosen approach is key to building momentum.
