To Join Our Next Webinar THURSDAY APRIL 11TH – 2:00PM EDT

The most important thing to remember when you implement a new real estate system is that they are to be built in a way that enables measurable repetition of the steps involved.

I say this because you only have so much time in a day, the same by the way as everyone else. And the person with the most finely tuned lead generation systems will inevitably sell the most property.

Join us on or next Real Road Map Webinar where we break into systems and systems management.

Session 5 of the Real RoadMap training series has been posted… the way this webinar series is evolving it will run for a very long-time. I expect there to be 14 to 16 sessions and then a continuing dialogue on what is new, exciting and more importantly what is very useful and needs to be understood to gain full advantage in your marketplace.

The next live Webinar will be Wednesday, March 6th – 2:00PM EST - In Session 6 – Module 13 we will expand into the area of Social Media showing you why so many agents are wasting their time posting on Facebook and Twitter etc… Seriously, when was the last time you visited an agents Fan Page twice? 

In this Session, we will show you how to make money with Social Media. Do not miss the March 6th webinar, because one hour after the webinar is over I am going to take a one-week vacation. That means you will not be able to see it live and ask questions, or watch the recording of the 12 Triggers of Social and Network Marketing for a few weeks.

In this Session with the help of your clients and with several new viral marketing strategies, I will show you first hand how to tap into hundreds and even thousands of new potential BRANDED buyers and sellers on each appointment. Growing your list at the speed of  a click!

As you can see below we have added the new chapters feature to the Real RoadMap videos, enabling you to speed through to the areas that you want to focus on. This was a cool upgrade to the system; my concern was that it would affect the ability to play video on tablets; fortunately you will continue to enjoy this feature.

P.S. I am also putting together a new Session on marketing… specifically the very misunderstood area between Direct Response and Institutional Advertising. This is an exciting topic on how to get your target market to immediately understand and react to your subject line or headline, using 10 words or less.

It is said by many marketing experts, that if you cannot describe what you do in one sentence, you are not worth doing business with.

I just took this off of a Realtors® page and I think it is something all
Canadian real estate agents should be very concerned about.

Today is the last day to voice your concerns over Industry Canada’s imposing limitations on contacting past clients via email.They are proposing that you will not be allowed to contact past clients after three years without consent from the client. I encourage you to email them today at info@ic.gc.ca

The concerned agent wrote the following wrote them the following…

“I am writing in objection to the two year limit on contacting past clients. The sales cycle for a Realtor® is approximately seven (7) years as that is the average time in which Canadian’s move. Limiting our ability to keep in touch with past clients via E Newsletters and periodic market updates sent by email will impact my business and hence the amount of taxes I pay to the Government of Canada. I don’t understand why the bureaucrats of the Government are systematically choking the life out of the entrepreneurial spirit of businesses, especially small businesses, when all levels of Government supposedly support and endorse business efforts. If you kill businesses ability to generate business the unemployment rate will skyrocket,revenue to the Government will decline and Government jobs will be in jeopardy.

And For Further Clarity 

Significant Lobbying Success Eases Burden of Compliance for REALTORS®

When anti-spam rules that regulate the sending of commercial e-mail, text and other electronic communication come into force sometime this year, they will be much easier to comply with as a result of extensive and intensive lobbying by REALTORS® and CREA. Seven lobbying successes, highlighted below, preserve important marketing practices and significantly ease the compliance burden of this framework.

1.A transitional provision allows REALTORS® to send electronic messages to clients without express consent for three years, provided the relationship existed before the new rules come into force.

2.The amount of time REALTORS® can stay in touch with a client without express consent after a sale was extended by an additional six months to 24 months total.

3.REALTORS® can follow up with a potential client after exchanging contact information, including at a networking event, so long as the message is relevant to the recipient’s business.

4.Express consent to send commercial electronic messages can be obtained orally or in writing. Prior to our lobbying efforts consent could only be acquired in writing.

5.A tremendous amount of information about the sender was required in a request for consent to send an e-mail and in each subsequent message. Our efforts reduced the required amount significantly to include only basic contact information.

6.A requirement to have a website in order to send a commercial electronic message was removed.

7.The regime’s unsubscribe requirement was significantly streamlined. REALTORS® only need to provide a single functioning unsubscribe mechanism to consumers.

Materials for REALTORS®, Boards and Associations that outline obligations in a format that is easy to understand and implement will be available well before members need to comply with the new rules.

Getting to page one of Google can be a daunting task, especially at times when Google makes changes to their algorithms. However the truth is, almost anyone can do this by following the rules.

Being on page one of Google will definitely affect your businesses bottom line, whether you are trying attract and manage Internet leads, or sell products.

I went through Google’s updates called the Panda and Penguin and was bumped off page one. So I stepped back to look at why Google does what they do, knowing this will make an incredible difference in the way you build your website and therefore the cause and effect on your page rank and then of course your bottom line. Look at it this way, Google wants to reward you, not punish you. They simply want to have the best pages at the top of the search engines that make the experience for the end user as beneficial and rewarding as possible.

Makes sense doesn’t it? We have all had the experience of doing a Google search, where every page we clicked on was junk. That is why Google does what they do; they really want the searcher to be happy with their search results. Your job then is to create a website that does just that.

Before Penguin, Google released a series of algorithm updates called Panda, with the first appearing in February 2011. Panda aimed at down ranking websites that provided poor user experience. To identify such websites, a machine-learning algorithm by Navneet Panda was used, hence the name. The algorithm follows the logic by which Google’s human quality raters determine a website’s quality.
In January 2012, so-called page layout algorithm update was released, which targeted websites with little content above the fold. This is the part of the page that you see when you open you browser, hence below the fold is not viewable.

The strategic goal that Panda andPenguin aim for is to display higher quality websites at the top of Google’s search results. However, sites that were down ranked as the result of these updates have different sets of characteristics. The main target of Google Penguin is spamdexing (including link bombing).

Spamdexing is the repeating of phrases or keywords multiple times in a row, and link bombing is the purchasing links that are of low quality and have little or no relevance to your websites overall characteristics. These activities will get you penalized causing your web page rank to suffer. The secret is to build quality backlinks, using strategies that Google sees as appropriate, again this is super easy to do!

I have sites all over the Internet that are on page one of Google, as a matter of fact to prove it, if you watch this video. You will see that for one search term, I often have up to six websites that show up on page one of Google. How’s that for page rank domination!

My Name is James Osmar, real estate websites, real estate training and lead management is what I do. I am a Internet Marketing and Lead Generation Master…  Very soon we will be starting the new training series the Realtor® Road Map in coordination with the Commission Gusher Training program

This real estate training will be covering everything from goal setting for individuals, to getting your team to properly develop and implement their own goals in a way that enhances the team’s goals.

Much of this training will be focused on real estate websites and lead generation. However to really understand the benefits of using technology to leverage yourself this training will be much broader and all encompassing.

According to NAR in just a short 7 years, the percentage of homebuyers using the Internet to search for homes has increased from 79% to 99%.  This should make it obvious that almost everything that you do when marketing yourself and generating leads should be about directing traffic to the right kind of website.

We will be discussing how to implement two different list-building methods; the first will be the study of Branded leads and the second with low-Branded leads. We will even show you how to build and maintain your most important list.

In today’s new real estate world, you will find that you will explode your growth by directing almost all traffic online and offline traffic to one of these two styles of websites. However with your long-term list we will show you how you must do things differently.

The Commission Gusher Training program in conjunction with the new Realtor® Road map training series, will show you everything a Realtor® must do today from start to finish, A to Z  - we will uncover everything you need to be doing to make your life easier to sell more property.

This new training series will be much broader and just like any long journey; there are obstacles of all kinds that will have to be understood in order to create a clearer picture of your ultimate goal.

The Realtor® Road Map is an all encompassing training, designed to develop your skills in all areas of your business… By showing you how to explode your business growth by leveraging the big three, people, marketing and technology.

I promise you, you will learn things that you have never thought of or have had the chance to learn before.

Starting with Your Goals and more importantly the goals of everyone around you that will become a part of you achieving your potential.

We will implement a Quick Start Guide that can be used as if you were parachuted into a new market – hitting the ground running.

Database Management – the secrets to list management and how to handle hundreds and even thousands of leads.

And of course we will go deep into Direct Response Marketing showing you how to develop streams of leads.

We will cover all the Websites that you must use in todays new real estate world… Branded, low-Branded, Blogging and how they dovetail with the three types of leads… and oh yes, there are only three types of leads.

We will cover in depth, Social Media -  what works and why most of what is out there today is a waist of your time. But and it is a big but… what does work will be totally worth the time, the effort and the cost of this entire program.

Together we will cover 23 different prospecting systems. Remember this is where you as a Realtor® must be great… you might ask why…  because as a Realtor® you are in the lead generation business.

Team building is one the three areas of leverage you must learn, even if you are just getting by with your front desk staff, we will discuss delegation in ways that will free up hundreds of your valuable hours.

We will train you on one of the most important parts of your real estate business… your presentations and we will do this in a way that will enable you to build your very best Buyer, Seller and Referral presentations.

PLUS we will cover the new technology that you must have, the stuff that legends are made of…  and the technology you can do with out.

We will even cover a few legal topics that everyone must consider when making it happen on the Internet.

Again my name is James Osmar and I am inviting you to join our live Realtor® Road Map training being taught over 4 weeks on webinar with access to your own private members area where you will have to over 100 videos enabling you to study in depth the areas that you need to specifically enhance your real estate business.

http://PerformanceWebPage.com My Name is James Osmar and today I want to talk to you about two types of website systems, designed to capture Branded and low-Branded Leads.

Where we place adds on Google, Bing and Yahoo. We have all seen the placement ads located at the top and the side of the search engines…. Well I just recently read an article from the NAR that stated 99% of all people now search on the Internet when looking for real estate.

We have recently added Team Lead Sharing, which of course is included; this also works to delegate your leads when you are out of town on holidays, or just to tired from working to hard… lol

We have also get an automated a built in e-Mail lead follow up system, enabling you to send unlimited emails Which is perfect for softening up the lead or making fast contact when just can’t.
