Jordan Fleming joins the founder of REIvolution (and smrtPhone CFO!) Alex Parge for a chat about CRMs, the importance of visualizing your data, and how to thoughtfully calculate marketing ROI. Alex’s passion for data led to the creation of REIvolution, the first all-in-one data-driven platform that empowers real estate investors to scale their business. Alex notes that REIvolution is “more than a CRM, it’s a way to bring all the data and communication into only one place.” 

Jordan and Alex discuss the magic of data, and how to use reverse engineering to go beyond how many leads you need to reach your goals to understand the hidden efficiency of a marketing channel and unlock true ROI. What may feel like guesswork to a new entrepreneur can actually be predictable equations if you have the right CRM and use data to your advantage. 

Alex explains how pre-set drip sequences can help you follow up with clients in a methodical way, without putting in a ton of effort. 

Don’t let the math and science of it all intimidate you – it’s clear throughout the episode that Alex has put in the work behind the scenes of REIvolution so that their customers don’t have to. Listen in for more info on ROI, Data Visualization and a shocking twist for a tech podcast: print is alive and well! Plus: Jordan’s Fast Five for quick tips on how to build your real estate biz.

This week on That Real Estate Tech Guy, host Jordan Samuel Fleming talks with real estate investor Brandin Pettersen, owner of RealOvative Realty. An added bonus? His perspective is technologically informed, as he’s the co-founder of REI Op-Center, a database tool for REI organization. 

Brandin’s journey to a tech-based REI business started the old-fashioned way with cell phones and Excel files, but he’s now much more comfortable with a customized CRM – InvestorFuse IF3 and smrtPhone. 

“I see a lot of guys still using their personal cell phones for business and I don't understand it.” 

Any real estate investor knows that no matter how seamless your processes are, or how organized you become, deals aren’t closing without solid leads. So as the conversation pivots towards the importance of clean data, Brandin shares his exciting new database tool, REI Op-Center. Users submit raw data and pinpoint where the most leads,deals and contracts are coming from. Brandin emphasizes the importance of simply understanding your data. 

“Whether you have a big platform like REI Op-Center, or you're just in Excel, it is important that you have somebody on your team who’s able to figure out what deals you got, where they came from, what list source they came from, what skip source you use, what month you pulled it and how many times you've pulled it to know where you should be putting more of your money.” 

Brandin sings the praises of having a dedicated data analyst on his team, as well as points out when it’s best for entrepreneurs - or solopreneuers – to recognize when to put the Superman cape down and stop trying to do everything yourself. He emphases that “if you don't have a system to find a person, find a who to help you with the how. Who not how.” 

Jordan rounds out the episode with the Fast Five to give you quick tips on how to grow your real estate business and learn what’s most important to Brandin’s tech stack!

About That Real Estate Tech Guy Podcast

In this episode, host Jordan Samuel Fleming talks with Stephanie Betters, CEO of Left Main REI. Stephanie brings an interesting perspective as both a technology leader and a successful investor herself. In fact, the vision and design for her Left Main CRM product comes from trying to solve needs she had her investing business, Better Path Homes, for better data management and forecasting.

"I don't think that you need to swallow the whole apple in one bite. You just need to take one little step towards organization at a time." - Stephanie Betters

A lot of people use the term "CRM" but Jordan has a suspicion that a lot of real estate investors don't know exactly what it is, how it works, or what it can do for your business.  Stephanie helps break it down, including sharing when is the right time for a real estate professional to invest in higher powered tech tools.  The right CRM isn't just about data management, it's bringing together the people and the processes around the data to ensure you are in full control of your business where it matters most.

Stephanie discusses her own journey from manual processes to automation and the insights about her business it revealed (including the number of touches it actually takes to reach a contact. Any guesses? Listen to find out if you're right!)  Plus, Jordan takes Stephanie through the  "Fast Five" questions to give you the quick tips and advice you need to grow your real estate investing business.

Stephanie and Jordan will be meeting up at TAB Retreat  Sept 24-Oct 1, 2022. Join them! Use code SMRTPHONE for $500 off.  https://products.tabtribe.com/tab-retreat

Welcome to Episode 1 with real estate investor, business coach, and e-commerce automation expert Terry Thayer.

In the podcast's inaugural episode, Terry and Jordan discuss the main purpose of technology in a real estate business: data. Not just how you collect it, but how you use it to better understand your business and accelerate growth.

"There's so much data you can collect by using the right technology. And that's how you truly grow a business - through data, KPIs, knowing what works, and what doesn't." - Terry Thayer

Skip tracing data to find the right contact. Comp tools to help you shape your deals. Team performance data to train individuals to improve. CRM systems to bring it all the data together and provide a collaboration space so everyone is working from the same data... they cover it all! 

Plus, Jordan and Terry talk about Terry's journey from manual systems to automation, the importance of following up (and how the right technology can support it), and how to manage a virtual team to make better human connections. Plus, Jordan grills Terry on the "Fast Five" questions to give you the quick tips and advice you need to grow your real estate investing business.

About Terry Thayer
Terry has had an entrepreneurial spirit since he was in elementary school, selling anything he could. He started his career as a Carpenter and then in 1997, he opened his first business as a contractor. In 2002, he became a real estate investor and has been in love with the industry ever since. Up until 2012, Terry always did things "the hard way"; that's when he discovered the power of mentorship and financial education. Terry spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on coaches who taught him the importance of delegation and systems. To this day, he continues to invest sizable amounts of his own money on personal development for his family, his team and himself. Of the five 7 & 8 figure businesses he owns, he works less than 5 hours a week total in the businesses. Not because he's "lazy", but because he is so efficient that any more time spent in the office would be wasteful. Most of his time is spent coaching his team to be better, coaching other entrepreneurs how to avoid the mistakes he's made over the years, strategizing and looking for his next big opportunity. Terry specializes in earning more money in less time, and he's ready to share his secrets with the world.
