Take the time to prospect!
The main difference between the prospecting of the Bridge-INDVIZH project and the usual prospecting is that here the search is aimed at creating partnerships, searching for partners.
In order not to break down after a month of work in a new sphere for you (and this is absolutely a new sphere), you need to plan your time, allocate a sufficient part of it to find and engage partners and customers. In the long-term prospective, those of you who can build the bridge will win customers based on your reputation and referrals. And thats exactly what they will be able to reduce the amount of time allocated for prospecting. However, when you first develop your project, you need to learn different ways to search.
Search is a system process, not a single event.
Lets look at the example again (real estate analytics of the north and analytics of the south).
You and I have a clear understanding of the real estate market and investments in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities in the north of Russia (here we mean all Russian cities outside the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea) and understanding of the investment flows of the Black Sea cities. Therefore, prospecting should be directed in two directions. The south side is to search for projects and the north side is to search for partners. Everything is extremely simple. Investors and buyers in the north should be aware of the great deals in the south, and thats why you connect both sides. And for the search to become effective, find partners continuously and systematically!
One of the methods to encourage investors and partners to cooperate is to give them something they find valuable. Pass on the information! This is called direct response marketing. Create an offer to receive important information for a partner or investor that they simply want to receive. But remember: the information must be really important, and your offer must be convincing. And I believe that the analytics of the markets of the north and south will become that most valuable information. Keep connecting with them. Business contacts, like any other, are based on whether people like and trust each other. In order for the relationship to be of value to the investor and partner, place them in your favor. To do this, keep them interested by continuing to give useful information in small doses. And your personal qualities will help to please and be remembered. For example, a sense of humor.
We build a system of sequential actions:
The only guarantee of a growing business and financial independence is a stable flow of leads.
Daily prospecting:
Daily mailing of messages; holding at least three webinars per week; at least three streams on the YouTube channel; daily meetings and negotiations with interested parties; at least 40 quality calls per day. Here it is necessary to clarify what quality calls means. This means that you have reached a potential customer or partner at least forty times a day. You also already understood that you need to start a YouTube channel. Use all possible types of prospecting.
However, it is better to start with your environment.
Perhaps you know about 100 people (the method of a hundred) whom you see from time to time. And, of course, you have family, friends, old acquaintances, neighbors and even a hairdresser with whom you meet regularly. All these people are the basis for the generating a sales funnel. Create a database of people you keep in touch with. Gather the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of all people who know you. At this stage, you need to quickly collect the database and then start working with it sequentially.
First step: announce to everyone that you are the leader of the Bridge project, working in a large inter-regional network.
Second step: convince your sphere of influence that you know how to earn one million rubles per a month.
During the first 30 days in business, contact each contact six times. After this period, get in touch at least once a month. To optimize your activities, create an Excel table for entering data. Enter in the table the data of all relatives, friends, friends of relatives, acquaintances, neighbors. Let them know that you are now creating projects to engage investment in apartment real estate and business projects based on apart-hotels. Ask them to tell other people about it for example, at work. Notification methods can be different: personal conversations, phone call, SMS.
Forming your sphere of environment involves working with all contacts. Family and friends are no exception. Everyone should know what you are doing. Remind yourself constantly!
Networking (from networking lit. network weaving: net network + work work; useful connections) is a social activity aimed at ensuring that, with the help of friends and acquaintances or people who have connections in one sphere or another, to solve problems as quickly as possible.
When you first enter this project, you have time. Use it wisely. Get noticed by as many decision makers as possible. Join any public organizations and groups. There are many professions closely related to real estate and investment. Arbitrators, lawyers, mortgage brokers, specialists in lending departments, architects, surveyors, cadastral engineers can become good sources of information.
Thus, networking is a good way to build professional connections and expand your funnel.
Create the table for input data:Last nameNameSurnameTelephone number Result of negotiationsThe table should provide for the possibility of including all the information necessary for the work and making comments on the work done for each contact.
A. An example of the initial appeal to your environment:
(Name), as you may know, Im developing projects (known through your social network). I am in charge of the project to engage investment in apart-hotels on the Black Sea coast.
Get feedback.
What is the meaning of this project? There is a huge number of large real estate objects on the market that have been put up for sale more than five or even ten years ago.
What exactly do I do? I find these objects, I negotiate with the owner that it is much easier and faster to implement the object if it is divided into rooms, apartments. After successful negotiations, my company enters into a contractual relationship for the implementation of this object the hostel, the hotel, a large commercial area. We put up the object for the sale process, having previously created a business project and established business processes.
Most owners ask for an initial fee, that is why Im looking for the investors. For the investor, I create favorable conditions with minimal investment. Everything is individual. Each owner has their own individual problem and the reason for the sale. Accordingly, completely different amounts are required for the initial fee. In addition, I am also looking for a final customer for the created residential / non-residential premises.
Get answers / get questions.
Could you tell us (the name), who do you know who would like to invest in the real estate in the coming future?
Get information.
Do you mind if I call them?
If there are no objections, continue.
Can you think of people from your environment who may need my services in the coming future?
B. Your initial contact with the partner (if it is a face-to-face meeting):
