Marketing Minute: Tom Breslawski

Tom illustrated the importance of reviews. He’s had good result getting them. He focused on them when he first started his business but got away from them for a while. He’s back on track now and primarily uses Google.

For Tom, he gets a lot of calls where people say they’re calling reaching out because of his reviews, and that’s called social proof.

When he completes a job, he asks client: if you’re happy with his service, five stars on Google would really help him.

Also, 10 days to 2 weeks after a job, he follows up with a text that includes their first name, reminds who he is what he did, and says if they’re happy with his service, they could help him by leave a 5 star review. Tom gets 80% return on his request.

Presenter: Kurt Engebrecht

Kurt did something different this time by having a little Q&A session. He asked:

1. What is impacting affordability?

2. What is impacting availability?

3. What factors are causing increased competition?

4. Why are fewer young people buying?

5. What can be done to improve the situation?

Kurt had us answer one at a time and he confirmed answers as well as expanded on info and reasons why. The wealth of information he shared highlighted his knowledge and experience and was a great way to have an interactive presentation!

Hey, wow, did you read all the way to the end? That’s awesome! And you never know what you might find down here, so keep checking back:

Properly inspired by Shantae’s 60-second motivator this week, enjoy this networking literary gem:

“Oh, the Biz You’ll Grow!”

You’ll walk in with purpose, your smile shining bright,
Your handshake is firm and your pitch sounds just right.
You’ll mingle and jingle with cards in your hand,
And network connections will grow as you planned.

You’ll listen and learn and you’ll swap and you’ll share,
You’ll follow up smartly to show that you care.
Some chats may be quick, some leads may be slow—
But oh, all the biz you’ll build as you go!

So polish that name tag, step up, take your shot—
You’ll link it, you’ll think it, you’ll close it—why not?
For meetings and mixers and circles that flow,
All start with one greeting—and oh, the biz you’ll grow!
