Last week I ran the report on a 14-agent team I coach in Tampa. Out of 2,847 leads in their CRM, only 312 had ever been called more than once. The rest? Ghosted — not because the agents were lazy, but because nobody knew which ones were worth a second dial. That’s exactly what AI […]
Last week, a seller in my sphere asked me — completely straight face — why my listing price was “$42,000 off the Zestimate.” Honestly?
