💬 Quote of the Week
“The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.” Peter Drucker
Thursday’s RE Virtual Coffee Mastermind
🎙 This Week’s Virtual Coffee: Blade Tirado
Blade is breaking down how to turn paid ads into actual closings and funded deals.
Not cheap leads.
Not random inquiries.
Actual revenue.
In his 20-minute training, he will walk through:
• Why most professionals attract low intent prospects
• How filtering changes everything
• How to build a backend system that converts
• Why speed and structure matter more than budget
This is not a “boost your post” talk.
This is about building a system that makes ads feel predictable instead of stressful.
If you are serious about scaling instead of casually testing ads, you will want to be there.

UPCOMING EVENTS:
Agent Alliance Live » TODAY!
This $1 automated postcard gets 10x the engagement as FB ads.
Wednesday at 9 AM CST, Ryan Hartman is showing you how to set up an automated direct mail follow-up system using Thanks.io that keeps you in front of your sphere without you doing anything after setup..
Thursday - Finding great investment properties is not about chasing listings after everyone else has already seen them. It is about being known in the community before a property ever hits the market.
In this workshop, we will break down how real estate investors are using the Community Card Playbook to create consistent deal flow through relationships, local businesses, and everyday conversations that most investors overlook.
You will learn how to:
• Use simple community cards to spark conversations with homeowners, landlords, and small business owners
• Position yourself as a local resource, not a cold investor looking for a deal
• Create off-market opportunities through trust, familiarity, and referrals
• Build a repeatable system that works for buy and hold, flips, and creative financing
• Stay top of mind so opportunities come to you instead of you hunting them down
If you are an investor who wants more consistent opportunities without competing with the masses, this workshop will show you exactly how to put the Community Card Playbook to work in your business
FRIDAY - Thinking About Your Brokerage? This Is Worth a Look.
What if your brokerage actually gave back more than it took? On this week’s Brokerage Breakdown, we’re spotlighting a model that’s quietly solving three of the biggest pain points agents deal with every day. First, it includes healthcare coverage for agents at no monthly cost, giving peace of mind without the $700+ premiums many agents carry on their own. Second, instead of a cap that resets year after year, this brokerage rewards loyalty with a declining cap that drops the longer you stay, allowing more of your commission to remain in your pocket over time.
Finally, every transaction includes built-in transaction coordination at no extra cost, returning dozens of hours per deal that most agents spend buried in paperwork and compliance. This isn’t about flashy marketing or promises. It’s about math, time, and sustainability. If you’ve ever wondered whether your brokerage is actually helping you build a better business and a better life, this is a conversation worth exploring.

TODAY’S FEATURE:
☕ Let’s Have an Honest Conversation
Most agents do not fail at Facebook ads.
They quit too early.
Or worse… they scale too early.
And when the leads feel random, inconsistent, or low quality, the conclusion becomes:
“Ads don’t work.”
But what if ads are not the problem?
What if ads are simply a mirror?
📣 Ads Do One Thing Very Well
They amplify.
They amplify:
• Your messaging
• Your positioning
• Your follow up speed
• Your authority
• Your confusion
If your foundation is clear, ads scale it.
If your foundation is weak, ads expose it.
That is why two agents can spend the exact same amount of money and get wildly different results.
Running ads increases visibility.
But visibility without authority creates friction.
When someone clicks your ad, what happens next?
They check your profile.
They scroll your content.
They look for proof.
They look for clarity.
They look for confidence.
If what they find is:
• Random posting
• No clear niche
• No defined problem you solve
• No proof of results
• No clear call to action
The ad did its job.
The system did not.
📉 Why Agents Quit Too Soon
Here’s something no one talks about.
Paid traffic has a learning curve.
The algorithm learns.
Your messaging sharpens.
Your audience refines.
Your follow up improves.
But most agents treat ads like a vending machine.
Insert money.
Expect listing.
That is not how paid attention works.
Ads are fuel.
They are not the engine.
Organic reach is slow but forgiving.
Paid reach is fast but revealing.
Organic content lets you hide behind inconsistency.
Paid traffic demands clarity.
It forces you to answer:
• Who do I actually help?
• What specific problem do I solve?
• Why should someone trust me?
• What happens next?
If those answers are vague, paid ads will feel expensive.
If those answers are sharp, paid ads become predictable.
🔥 The Real Risk
The real risk is not wasting ad money.
The real risk is blaming the ad platform instead of fixing the structure behind it.
Because once you understand how the full ecosystem works, you stop gambling and start building.
And that is exactly what we are talking about this week.
📝 Scripts Agents Can Use
Repositioning Conversation
“I’ve been refining how we position homes to attract serious buyers instead of just more showings. Would you like to see the framework we’re using?”
Filtering Conversation
“Before we jump on a call, can I ask you a quick question about your timeline so I can make sure this makes sense for you right now?”
Notice the tone.
Confident.
Clear.
Structured.
Authority reduces friction.
🎨 Canva Post Ideas
• “More showings does not always mean better offers. Here is what actually matters.”
• “Thinking about selling? Here is how we attract serious buyers instead of tire kickers.”
• “Before you look at homes, let’s talk about your timeline and strategy.”
• “The difference between being visible and being positioned.”
Educational content builds authority before the conversation.
🔥 Final Takeaway
Ads are not magic.
They are magnifiers.
They amplify whatever foundation you have built.
If your positioning is strong, ads accelerate growth.
If your positioning is weak, ads accelerate frustration.
Before you increase your budget, increase your clarity.
Then scale.

Book of the Week:
The Ultimate Sales Machine by Chet Holmes
The entire premise of The Ultimate Sales Machine is that growth does not come from random new tactics. It comes from mastering a few core systems and executing them relentlessly.

🎙️ VoicePost
Some of my best ideas happen when I’m driving, walking, or between appointments, not when I’m sitting at a desk.
VoicePost lets me record quick voice notes on the go and instantly turn them into written content I can use for emails, posts, or follow-ups. Instead of losing ideas or telling myself I’ll write it later, I can capture thoughts in real time and use them when it makes sense.
It’s been a huge help in staying consistent without having to stop everything to sit down and type. Try it HERE.
The Lithium Boom is Heating Up
Thanks to growing demand, lithium stock prices grew 2X+ from June 2025 to January 2026. $ALB climbed as high as 227%. $LAC hit 151%. $SQM, 159%.
This $1B unicorn’s patented technology can recover 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That’s earned investment from leaders like General Motors.
Now they’re preparing for commercial production just as experts project 5X demand growth by 2040. They’ve announced what could be one of the US’ largest lithium production facilities and have rights to approximately 150,000 lithium-rich acres across North and South America.
Unlike public stocks, you can buy private EnergyX shares alongside 40,000+ other investors. Invest for $11/share by the 2/26 deadline.
This is a paid advertisement for EnergyX Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.energyx.com. Under Regulation A, a company may change its share price by up to 20% without requalifying the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
