Credos and Mindset for REIs

[Brian Gibbons]

Hi All at BiggerPockets:

I have a busy life and a busy brain. I get distracted by family and the media.

I need to be reminded of my mission and why I play the REI Game to WIN, not to just dabble and waste time.

So, I get my coffee, check my email, prioritize my urgent tasks, THEN

I read this:

And I ask myself:

How can I get:
*More Motivated Sellers?
*More Tenant Buyers?
*More Private Money?
*More people to refer to me REI business?

And that's it.. Nothing else.

When I'm waiting for doctor's appointments-dentists, in line for other mundane consumer chores, I put stuff on index cards and study them. like sales objection handlers, marketing ideas, and the like.

Or I talk into a portable digital tape recorder.

Or I practice to complete and utter strangers my "elevator speech."

You, know, like, "What do you do for a living?"

"I help Sellers sell their house in 5 days.
I help renters stop Renting and Rent to Own.
I help people earn 10% or more on their Savings."

If they say, "Ya? How you do that?"

"Well, I'd be easier to send you an email.
I got a notebook here.
Can I have some info from you?
And I'll send you some really good info free? NO Obligation?"

Then you can qualify the lead.

RE: Being Audacious

William Tingle (Sub2 Teacher) said,
"I WEAR A 5 inch diameter Yellow button w black letters that says:
I BUY HOUSES FAST!"

He wears it at supermarkets.
He asks questions that he really already knows answers to, just to get people to look at his button, and start a RE conversation.

You want leads?
Get a button!
Be AUDACIOUS!

I dare you!

All the best to BP.com,

Brian
