Hey, First name / you. No appointment this week?
Image item
 
Here's what you can do instead
Step into the Twilight Zone with me for a moment…
Image item
Imagine walking up to the front door for a listing appointment. 
 
You're dressed in your favorite “I'm the perfect agent for you" outfit, and your hair is done just right. Your shined shoes are tap-tap-tapping against the walkway as you approach the home. You're rehearsing the script you've been using since before rates saw 5%.
 
The front door opens, but it's not just the homeowners at the entryway. 
 
There's an agent, listing materials in hand, who looks JUST LIKE YOU, making their way out of the house. I'm talking carbo-copy: same outfit, same hairstyle, same shoes, same material. The only difference is their name tag. You're all creeped out.
 
Okay, come back into the real world with me. 
 
This is how some of you are showing up in inboxes, and it's just as awkward as it would be in real life. Let me show you 👇🏼
 
I got these emails from two different people at the same time last week. The contents are EXACTLY the same, all the way down to the apple strudel recipe (it's probably from a preferred title company or service that writes email newsletters for agents).

Listen, I'm not trying to hate on those services. But I'm not going to withhold the truth either:
 
Those stock emails contribute to the issue that buyers and sellers are reporting… most agents are the same. They can't determine how one is better than the other. In other words, your value is being diminished. 
 
If you were at Tom Ferry's Success Summit this year, you know that I preach…

So, if you're using a service to write your newsletter or if you aren't writing one at all, I've got what you need to make a personalized, easy-to-automate weekly email to your database. 
 
Thanks for sticking with me. Keep reading.
⚡Your Take it and RUN challenge:
I know an agent named Mike Renick who has perfected the art of AI email assistance (🤖 + 📧 = 🫶🏼✨). Your challenge is to try out his method for the remainder of the year (ahem, only 3 more months).
 
His ChatGPT prompt and process are out of this world 🪐, and he's been kind enough to share it with me. I'll share the prompt, but you'll want to download the SOP to get the full scope of how to implement this process.
 
Remember: this prompt is tailored to Mike's business. He's killing it with video, so he's included that in his emails. Use this prompt as a jumping-off point – tweak it to make it fit your business. 
 
 
THE MASTER PROMPT FOR REPLICATION:
 
You are creating a weekly email newsletter for a real estate team/agent. The newsletter should be energetic, engaging, and drive maximum opens/clicks.
 
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Create 5+ viral email subject lines that combine multiple story elements
2. Include a "Fun Fact" section with surprising local trivia (research if needed)
3. Write a compelling opening paragraph that teases all videos with urgency
4. Format 4-6 YouTube videos in a 2-column grid with:
 - Thumbnails at 180x135 pixels
 - Convert any Shorts URLs to standard format
 - Use format: http://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/0.jpg
 - Clickable "Play Video Here" buttons
 - Brief, exciting titles/descriptions
5. Include a CTA button for additional content
6. Use Outlook-compatible HTML with:
 - Nested tables (no divs)
 - MSO conditional comments
 - Inline CSS only
 - Mobile-responsive design
 
TONE: 
Over-the-top enthusiastic, using CAPS for emphasis, creating FOMO, and making every story sound unmissable.
 
STRUCTURE:
- Header with branding
- Fun Fact box (blue background, eye-catching)
- Opening paragraph
- "This Week's Highlights" section
- Video grid (2 columns)
- CTA button
- Footer
 
When provided with video titles and YouTube URLs, create the complete HTML template ready for email platforms.
 
KEY SUCCESS FACTORS:
- Always sound like something HUGE is happening
- Make readers feel they'll miss out if they don't watch
- Combine unexpected elements (snow in Florida + cat café)
- Keep technical formatting bulletproof
- Build anticipation with each week's edition
⚡ Now take it and run with it!

🎙️ Stuck in impostor syndrome or stopped at procrastination station?
I started a podcast for that and more of those nasty (but common) conditions that plague real estate agents and other business owners. Don't stay in that frame of mind! My operations director (Kelcie) and I use each quick episode to cover how you can overcome those icky mindsets and achieve your goals.
 
Last week, we spoke with team leaders of the Slocum Home Team, rockstars Nick Slocum and Jon Tetrault. In our 10th episode, Jon and Nick pull back the curtain on their role play culture, re-certification process, custom training systems, and the Buyer’s Toolkit that’s leveling up their agents. If you’re leading a team or planning to, you’ll want to take notes—and then take action.
