Who we work with
Since 1999, we have partnered with visionaries in the real estate development to set inspiring, credible and measurable sales ambitions with a definite time horizon.
Traditional Sales Execution
This program is typically used for an existing project that has an existing database and has already been released to the market. Under this program leads are converted to an appointment and converted to sale on a one by one basis.
Launch Marketing
Launch Marketing is a great program to release a new community, or new product within an existing community. This program includes selling Priority Selection Reservations over a specified period of time that ultimately leads to a one day sales event. This program compresses a long sales cycle into a very short term sales cycle to bring a large number of sales to a project on the front end.
Sales & Marketing Consulting
This service is provided to builders and developers that do not need a team to execute their entire program but need assistance on a portion of their sales and marketing programs.
How We Perform
“The most important thing we do is Execute against a plan. Anyone can say they are in ‘sales,' but real success comes from knowing the ‘when and why’ to set milestones for success and ‘the how’ to reach them with flexibility, creativity and tenacity.”
Myles Newell, Principal
Lead Generation
If you have a great property but no one knows about it what is the point?
We work with our clients to create programs to generate qualified leads for their project. These programs include Broker Programs, Public Relations, On-Line Marketing, Print Media, Social Media, Event Marketing, and Strategic Partnerships.
Lead Conversion
Once a lead is generated our team works to convert that lead to an appointment or reservation. This is accomplished by utilizing real estate specific CRM systems, diligent follow up by our Sales Executives, and the creation of Mini Vacation programs for interested clients to visit the property.
Sales Conversion
Our Sales Executives are extensively trained how to present their property to customers. This includes educating the customer on the location, the developer, the project attributes, and ultimately the real estate offerings.
This presentation is laid out to be informative, but to include sales messaging that builds value and creates urgency for the customer in a complete no-pressure environment. We seek to create a “buying” atmosphere as opposed to a “selling” atmosphere in the customers eyes.
