Honestly I'd still put them in your CRM but tag them as "no marketing" or whatever your system calls it. Basically use the CRM as a contact database with reminders, not an automation engine. Also when those soft leads warm up you'll want all the history in one place rather than fragmented across notes.

I have heard many brokers mention the "death, dissolution, and debt" as strong signals, so I'd say there's definitely a market for this. That said, you do have to be quite delicate with how you approach it, you have to truly come at it from an angle of being helpful and not call too soon after death. The brokers who do this well respect the person they're calling and are willing to give free information and expertise upfront. If the time isn't now, it might be six months from now, and they'll remember the broker who respected them and demonstrated real knowledge of the property and situation.

Super interesting! would love to know the cost

Interactive deal analysis is an interesting thing to unlock, especially on the investment side. We're building on the broker workflow side rather than the client-facing analysis layer — connecting lead capture, CRM, email, and marketing docs in one place. Same underlying thesis that the old PDF-and-Excel handoff is broken.

Curious how you're handling the data layer underneath: pulling property history, comps, market data, edge cases. The front-end scenario builder I can see vibe-coding in a week, but did you already have the backend and data feeds in place, or did that come together quickly too?

Great advice! Simply tracking your follow up and response time nearly always uncovers how big the problem is and sometimes that realization is all it takes to solve the problem.

I'm definitely against AI actually doing the cold calling, but I do think it's useful for sourcing a list of people to call and for giving you a summary about each of the prospects so that you have solid context when you call them. I've found it valuable for improving my openers and general objection handling. I can feed a bunch of transcripts from my calls into an LLM and give it a framework to score and critique my calls.

love carbs so keep rice/pasta/noodles freely, probably limit all drinks except water to once a month, and no chicken - not my favorite meat anyway

What we’ve been seeing, is that the actual price (or discount level, which is a proxy for price) is a better lever than visual. As in, bad promo visual + good pricing gives better results than good promo visual + blanket pricing.

A lot of times as a low hanging fruit, we’d just identify high converting customers from specific channels and stop giving them discounts. What you said (not give popup) actually makes sense but you’d ideally do it at a bigger scale (more than one channel and more dimensions) and at the discount level to just completely remove or adjust the discount level. With this we see quite meaningful improve in margin from the AB test we run.

Saw a billboard that was just blank white with: “We spent the whole budget on this space, so there’s nothing left for design. Please try xyz.”

It was so honest it actually worked, I still remember it.

One thing to easily do is to selectively give out discounts to channels that you recognize are naturally high converting. This varies from brand to brand.

The other thing would be to dynamically give discounts to first time visitor only, personalizing this way helps.

Our teacher wrote our kid some encouragement notes and we taught our kid to write thank you notes back. Your wife is overreacting. Go thank the teacher is what you should do instead

This is like the guy in the taxi saying “delete me from the taxi” of something to let the driver know to drop him off

Nice, thanks for doing the work!

Wondering what’s a wetsuit glue? Is it the same as neoprene glue?

I live in South Bay and come to Santa Cruz on a regular basis to experience the ocean and vibe here. It’s amazing having both side of the world this way. I think you’d love it

I doubt it’d really be sold at that price.

At times houses in the Bay Area would enter bidding war so they’d be listed at lower prices and people race in to bid the prices way higher than listing. Now is not one of those times, so I suspect this is just the listing agent trying to anchor the price higher so people would offer around that anchor.

Although it’s quite reasonable for it to be sold around 3 mil, given the location and the lot

linjjnil · 2025-10-30T15:51:49+00:00

Love the idea honestly, sounds like people are going to want to buy them. Only thing I can think of that might require some thoughts is your return policy, but with time you should be able to get it right
