Damian’s Principles Of Automation: 3 of 4

Welcome back to my series, “Principles of Automation: Priceless Rules You Need to Know to Automate Your Real Estate Investing Business the Right Way.”

We’ve talked about why we need to automate in the real estate investing business and be committed to it. We talked about what to automate and I gave you some examples of what we as real estate investors can automate.

Then I explained how to automate them.

In this session you are going to learn how to get people to work for you for free and make your life easier.
But first, I want to share something with you that is priceless. It’s what I call the “help me; help you” principle. We have talked about how we want to use efficient processes. If we automate efficient processes – it will result in greater efficiency.

The example I’m going to give now is absolutely critical. This will save you time and money and get you more buyers and sellers at the table, which means more deals.
Let’s say you automate a response and someone contacts (a buyer or seller) and now you have an automated reply that goes out.
First of all, you don’t want this to appear as automated. No one wants to feel like they are getting an automated reply back. So make sure the reply is personal. Avoid a tone that sounds like this:
“Thank you for your reply. I am in receipt of your reply and will reply to you within the designated time frame…”

It’s much better to keep it personal. “Hey! Thanks so much. Appreciate your getting in touch. Really excited to see how this can help you. Check this out in detail in the next 24-hours.” This is how you can keep it casual.
The typical investor then might say something like this: “Let me know when is a good time to call you.” Or, “When can we sit down together?”

This is a pretty good step, especially if this is automated. It’s leading them to take an action, so it’s a positive thing. We always want to ask them to take action. If you don’t ask, you’re never going to get results.
However, this approach could lead to a back and forth interchange in an attempt to pin down a time frame. While this may be automated, it’s still a waste of time.

Priceless Rules On How-To Automate Your Investing Business The Right Way

Did you know you can actually get your buyers, sellers and investors to work for you for free?

I mean, you can get them to do the deals for you in a way, if you know how to use this extremely powerful concept I teach you combined with this simple and free technology.

And I’ll share with you my super efficient technique I call my “Help Me, Help You” approach to automation.

  1. Glenn Says:

    Through even simplified examples, you continue to share substantive information that is of independent value. The fact that your DFYD system is designed flexibly so as to accommodate many complementary services such as Survey Monkey represents additional value to the users thereof. Having mentioned this without diluting the value of what you share herein continues to be a refreshing change from the common practices of many.

    I look forward to part 4 of the series.
