00:02:35.432 --> 00:02:37.239
James Terry: and I told Dan.

36
00:03:11.670 --> 00:03:28.200
James Terry: Well, it's definitely better than anything in Paris, you know. I prefer to Italy for sure. In terms of just overall vacations. This is the place to be. You know, I went to the Iss last year. Space was cool, but Great Wolf is the place, to be for sure.

37
00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:33.129
Matt Hart: Compares to the great Wolf Lodge, Griffin, Georgia. Is that right?

38
00:03:33.390 --> 00:03:34.190
CINC Marketing: Whoa!

39
00:03:34.370 --> 00:03:36.250
CINC Marketing: You wish! That's where I'm from.

40
00:03:36.250 --> 00:03:40.210
James Terry: Yeah, it's south on 85. I have no idea where I'm at. My wife.

41
00:03:40.210 --> 00:03:47.999
Matt Hart: Where, when I'm driving, when I'm driving to Florida to go to Disney world. It's sort of like somewhere over there on the right, usually, isn't it?

42
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.870
CINC Marketing: Yeah, you'll see an exit, anyway.

43
00:03:50.475 --> 00:03:51.080
CINC Marketing: Bucky's.

44
00:03:52.700 --> 00:03:57.360
Matt Hart: That's Russell. I know that one. I know that one really well. Unfortunately.

45
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.100
CINC Marketing: Oh!

46
00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:02.609
James Terry: But we can come back to unless Dan, you want me to get into the

47
00:04:02.890 --> 00:04:12.779
James Terry: digital ads. And and what I'm excited about, you know, Sync related what people are logging in for. But Dan, if you wanna wanna jump in and introduce yourself, I can come back to

48
00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:17.490
James Terry: the lead quality initiatives that I've been excited about the last several several weeks. Several months.

49
00:04:17.878 --> 00:04:24.861
Daniel Lott: Yeah. Well, I'm I'm the the head of lead generation department dan lot. Let's see

50
00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:31.260
Daniel Lott: we. We did have a planning session on this, so we could add, like an order of things when things are gonna happen. So.

51
00:04:31.260 --> 00:04:33.100
CINC Marketing: We do, but it's off the rails.

52
00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:33.959
Daniel Lott: It's not. It's

53
00:04:35.103 --> 00:04:39.760
Daniel Lott: I. I think we're gonna talk about AI, right? Is that that's the that was the.

54
00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:40.450
CINC Marketing: Well, actually.

55
00:04:40.450 --> 00:04:44.590
Daniel Lott: Are we? Are we? Are we ramping up to that? Is that.

56
00:04:44.590 --> 00:04:45.510
CINC Marketing: So had their bit.

57
00:04:45.510 --> 00:04:54.820
Daniel Lott: Several different types of AI. As you know, in the year 2025 AI is pretty much anybody. The only thing people talk about, or at least a lot of people do.

58
00:04:55.190 --> 00:05:06.050
CINC Marketing: Well, so I think, what what we discussed in the planning was your, your recent article about Google's AI Max

59
00:05:06.230 --> 00:05:14.642
CINC Marketing: targeting, and just how and and just kind of throughout today. How AI is, you know, changing things.

60
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.200
CINC Marketing: so let me

61
00:05:17.670 --> 00:05:29.829
CINC Marketing: let me get us back on the rails here and start by introducing our guests, Matt hard, and then we can get into your article. Our guest is the the Vp. Of sales here at Sync.

62
00:05:30.488 --> 00:05:32.760
CINC Marketing: Really awesome guy. And I mean

63
00:05:34.210 --> 00:06:00.600
CINC Marketing: you, you when I think of a salesperson in my head. But like I was, gonna say, like a good salesperson. I'm still off the rails. This is like a lawyer joke. It's turning into a lawyer joke. I don't mean it that way. But you know just Matt always does such a good job of matching. You know the needs of what people have with the products that we offer. And does a great job of. I've learned a lot of of just

64
00:06:00.770 --> 00:06:07.850
CINC Marketing: you know, the the right way to match products with people just by working with Matt over. Was it 8 years that you said.

65
00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:10.519
Matt Hart: It's been 8 years now. Yeah, 8, almost 8 and a half.

66
00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:14.530
CINC Marketing: Yeah, and and alright.

67
00:06:14.530 --> 00:06:18.060
Matt Hart: 6 year old. I need that extra half year right?

68
00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:19.399
CINC Marketing: How many months is that.

69
00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:22.317
Matt Hart: Exactly 100 44 months.

70
00:06:23.320 --> 00:06:26.280
CINC Marketing: Did you come from career builder, or did I make that up.

71
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:50.430
Matt Hart: I did come from Career Builder. Yeah, I was a career builder for nearly 5 years. started I was selling. I was a national account. So which basically just means that I had like 5, you know, fortune 500 accounts here in Atlanta, and then went on to run a a mid market team there, which is where I kind of got my start in sales leadership. And then.

72
00:06:50.830 --> 00:06:54.530
Matt Hart: a few years later came over to Sync to run, to run sales. Here.

73
00:06:56.140 --> 00:07:01.669
CINC Marketing: I I was vaguely sure you did. And the whole reason I said that was to say

74
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.860
CINC Marketing: that was a real real career builder for you.

75
00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:07.080
Matt Hart: It? Was it we.

76
00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:07.670
CINC Marketing: Good.

77
00:07:07.670 --> 00:07:09.079
Matt Hart: Yes, no, that was great.

78
00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:10.220
CINC Marketing: Yeah, move on. Now.

79
00:07:10.570 --> 00:07:12.070
Matt Hart: Yeah. Okay. All right.

80
00:07:12.070 --> 00:07:12.480
CINC Marketing: Yeah.

81
00:07:13.070 --> 00:07:14.280
James Terry: That is a dad joke.

82
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.480
CINC Marketing: No, but so you.

83
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:16.080
James Terry: Yeah.

84
00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:25.669
CINC Marketing: So yeah, you've been here at Sync for 8 years, 8 and a half. You know. One of the things that I was interested in is.

85
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.030
CINC Marketing: you know, I mean.

86
00:07:27.430 --> 00:07:34.700
CINC Marketing: So I've been here for almost 10 years 10 years. In 17 days. I'm sure you're planning my anniversary party, Dan. It's been.

87
00:07:34.700 --> 00:07:35.230
Daniel Lott: It was 5.

88
00:07:35.230 --> 00:07:40.090
Daniel Lott: Oh, dang! But you know so much has changed.

89
00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:43.800
CINC Marketing: In sync for me, you know, like what.

90
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.090
CINC Marketing: how different is sync now than it was 8 and a half years ago when you came.

91
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:57.939
Matt Hart: Oh, man, like there's a million different ways. I could go with that. You know, I guess, like

92
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:13.559
Matt Hart: I don't have random dogs just like coming and fiddling in front of my desk anymore. Which was the thing that happened pretty regularly in the old office. But generally I would say. You know,

93
00:08:15.150 --> 00:08:21.220
Matt Hart: Sync has really been on a mission for the agent, for the last.

94
00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:48.569
Matt Hart: for the for the entire time that I've been here right, and I'm sure probably even a long time before that. But our goal as a company is always to keep the agent at the center of the transaction and empower the agent. And I think today's topic with AI is is as pertinent as it is. It could be in terms of highlighting the shift that we've seen over the last 8 years that I've been here right? Always constantly working to be on the leading edge

95
00:08:48.570 --> 00:09:00.910
Matt Hart: of development technologies that are going to increase conversions and ultimately transactions for our clients. And so you know, watching that AI revolution happen over the last few years, and I would say.

96
00:09:00.970 --> 00:09:24.260
Matt Hart: you know, one of the things that that really, I think we could point out is that sync is usually working on on cutting edge stuff before our competitors are right. We've had an AI solution as a part of our core, foundational, you know, platform and product for the better part now of like 4 years, and and I think

97
00:09:24.260 --> 00:09:39.849
Matt Hart: you know a lot of them. A lot of our competitors and and in the competitive landscape have have, like they all, everybody's got AI. Now, right like that's just that's just part of your. If you don't have AI, you're so far behind that you you may as well right like. But.

98
00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:41.580
CINC Marketing: Israel, what.

99
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:43.340
Matt Hart: Go.

100
00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:43.939
CINC Marketing: No, I'm just kidding.

101
00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:45.450
CINC Marketing: Give up just.

102
00:09:45.450 --> 00:09:46.450
James Terry: Close shop.

103
00:09:46.660 --> 00:10:05.600
CINC Marketing: I will say, too, if you guys have Qa. If you guys have questions, hey, Tom, definitely drop them in the chat. We'll be answering those. We got some questions from the submissions as well. So we'll be going through those. But, Tom, any questions you have, please feel free to to drop them in. That's great! That's what drives this so.

104
00:10:06.150 --> 00:10:10.840
Matt Hart: Yeah. And and and I would. You know, I think I've spent, you know.

105
00:10:11.010 --> 00:10:21.465
Matt Hart: weeks, hours, years now, researching and and understanding artificial intelligence. And I think I think something that's important to note is that

106
00:10:22.330 --> 00:10:42.180
Matt Hart: it? It's really difficult with AI to just build something and deploy like you can't spend 4 years building something, deploy it and have it be its best version of it. Right? Like AI is, it's right machine learning. And AI take time to develop because you need the inputs over time for the for it to get smarter.

107
00:10:42.180 --> 00:11:03.180
Matt Hart: And and so I think Sync always being at the cutting edge or the the bleeding edge of those things, and and really trying to get out ahead of the market and understand, you know how to best leverage these new technologies to serve our clients is is something that's been fundamental here in the time that I've seen and what's what's evolved and changed over time.

108
00:11:04.150 --> 00:11:19.599
CINC Marketing: Well, I think one of the coolest things with the AI is syncs is, and and maybe I'm making this up. But syncs is proprietary, you know. So ours is actually based on syncs, best practices, you know, it's trained on the training that

109
00:11:20.425 --> 00:11:27.389
CINC Marketing: you know, John Marone, Matt Feathers, Lance Christine do at sync. You come sync you? Yeah.

110
00:11:27.966 --> 00:11:34.929
CINC Marketing: Now, now I think I may be presenting at the next sync you. So if you're on the fence.

111
00:11:37.160 --> 00:11:40.269
CINC Marketing: Now's the time. Tell the great Wolf Lodge to be quiet, please, James.

112
00:11:40.270 --> 00:11:41.159
Matt Hart: 5, down.

113
00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:43.479
CINC Marketing: Trying to do, pipe down Great Wolf Lodge.

114
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.190
James Terry: What the.

115
00:11:44.190 --> 00:11:44.590
CINC Marketing: Now.

116
00:11:44.590 --> 00:11:47.899
James Terry: Questions. You know, they they need to get in their room. They need the Wi-fi passwords.

117
00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:55.151
CINC Marketing: One of the questions, and and I do want to get into some of the questions. Now we did get some questions around.

118
00:11:56.750 --> 00:12:00.912
CINC Marketing: so perfect. This was one of the questions I wanted to get into. But

119
00:12:01.630 --> 00:12:08.848
CINC Marketing: Before I do that, we did get some questions around the support side of things. So

120
00:12:09.470 --> 00:12:12.280
CINC Marketing: you know just different things around

121
00:12:13.128 --> 00:12:19.229
CINC Marketing: different functionality within the Crm, if you do have questions, you know we have a great support team.

122
00:12:19.400 --> 00:12:32.060
CINC Marketing: please be sure to reach out to them. You know, this is more going to be kind of higher level stuff around, you know the AI and and the questions that you have, like Tom, just put in there the questions that we got submitted. But you know we do have

123
00:12:32.490 --> 00:12:41.850
CINC Marketing: another benefit of sync is the best support team in the industry reach out to them. They make me look a lot smarter than I am

124
00:12:42.050 --> 00:12:45.380
CINC Marketing: all the time, and I'm very grateful for them.

125
00:12:45.837 --> 00:12:57.360
CINC Marketing: But so one of the questions that we did get was around the AI, and so like, I don't know, and I don't know if you guys can see it in the chat, Tom just put it in. Thanks for reprinting it, Tom.

126
00:12:57.460 --> 00:13:10.819
CINC Marketing: he said. I think Alex does a great job, but not at $200 a month for a social agency. So Tommy had to cancel and rely on drip campaigns for touches every 4 to 6 weeks. So, you know, I

127
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:17.940
CINC Marketing: I think that's a really interesting question. I don't know if there's a right answer to that, like, I think this is really interesting

128
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.160
CINC Marketing: feedback, because the way that I I look at AI right at

129
00:13:22.420 --> 00:13:29.320
CINC Marketing: $200 a month is, you know, if you set 1, 2 appointments from that

130
00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:40.290
CINC Marketing: I I would feel like, you know, if you were to buy an appointment like a lead in an appointment stage. That's cheaper than that, and that's nurtured from. You know your brand, that's your specific lead.

131
00:13:40.790 --> 00:13:45.589
CINC Marketing: I don't know. Just kind of throw that out there like, what? What do you guys

132
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.460
CINC Marketing: think about Tom's question? I guess.

133
00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:50.580
Matt Hart: I think. Oh, sorry you got Daniel. You looked.

134
00:13:50.580 --> 00:14:01.949
Daniel Lott: I was, I was about to say something. I don't want to interrupt you, but you know well, I just every one of these office office hours. I have to mention the big sale in Charleston that we had. It was a sync lead.

135
00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:22.850
Daniel Lott: 21 million dollars. Most expensive home sale in the history of Charleston. That was because of AI. It wouldn't have happened without AI. So again like this. What Harry was, I think he said it, or he was thinking it. You know, if you if you sell one house, because if AI helps you sell one house, it covers it so that one they probably got.

136
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:29.500
Daniel Lott: I don't know what a commission on a 21 million dollar house is, but it's more than $200 a month. So or I guess that'd be.

137
00:14:29.810 --> 00:14:33.900
Daniel Lott: yeah. So yeah, because think you can think of it that way. So.

138
00:14:33.900 --> 00:14:36.189
CINC Marketing: But I wonder if I wonder if Tom

139
00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:48.860
CINC Marketing: I think so? How big was that agency? I'm not sure exactly how large I don't believe I think it's a husband and wife team, but I'm not positive. I know the client.

140
00:14:49.592 --> 00:14:50.440
CINC Marketing: He's been a.

141
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:59.370
Daniel Lott: Yeah, they're not deep. They don't have a big ad spend. I think they're like they're less than a thousand dollars. I think they're like $900 in ads a month. So it's not like it's a huge

142
00:14:59.470 --> 00:15:03.289
Daniel Lott: $10,000 a month ad agency, or anything or.

143
00:15:03.290 --> 00:15:03.810
CINC Marketing: It's really.

144
00:15:04.050 --> 00:15:17.739
Matt Hart: I I would I I would just say, Tom, that like it's a it's a very valid question, right like. 1st of all, like that you you were certainly not the only one that feels that way right? We hear this oftentimes. Right? We talk with with

145
00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:38.519
Matt Hart: literally thousands of agents every month on my side of the business people who are looking at and and evaluating technologies to help them scale their business. And I I would say, it's a it's a question that comes up an awful lot. So here, here's what I would answer, though right, and especially right now.

146
00:15:38.520 --> 00:15:58.990
Matt Hart: in in times when cash flow for agents is so critical. Right? You've got to be really judicious about where you spend your your dollars. And and I think you know, we're we're very sensitive to that, but also at the same time, you've you've got to pick where you think you are going to get the biggest bang for your buck

147
00:15:59.415 --> 00:16:18.239
Matt Hart: in in your dollar spent and every every market's different, right? I'm not gonna say that that you know everybody should have the exact same solution for their business. And that's right. That's why there's there's different options out there, and and everybody's got to make that decision for their business.

148
00:16:18.749 --> 00:16:35.740
Matt Hart: What I can do is tell you what we see across the board, across thousands of of solo agents and teams, and you know. Just in millions of leads generated. We know that having AI

149
00:16:35.790 --> 00:17:00.909
Matt Hart: allows people to scale and work more leads right? Like that's kind of the bottom line, the morally, because at the end of the day online online lead generation for real estate is a math equation. And that's really what it boils down to right the the numbers you're working with. Right? Like, if you can work more leads, you're gonna have. You're gonna have better and more predictable revenue for your business.

150
00:17:01.226 --> 00:17:11.049
Matt Hart: And that's why we're always encouraging people to to spend more money on ads. Without AI you wouldn't be able to work leads the way that you need to work leads

151
00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:34.280
Matt Hart: at at the level of effort. Right? That that a solo agent has a special, particularly for solo agents right like you don't have infinite amount of time. Right? Like, that's your biggest constrained resources, your time. And so you have to have technology to help you work the leads the way that the leads need to be worked. Otherwise you're going to see a drop off in conversion rates.

152
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:45.319
CINC Marketing: What I think for me like the biggest, the most interest. So like the way I look at this, coming from more of a marketing standpoint and seeing, you know, the feedback of

153
00:17:45.530 --> 00:17:52.070
CINC Marketing: our posts on social media for sync. And you know other Crms

154
00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:55.560
CINC Marketing: post is it's this interesting like Bridge of

155
00:17:56.290 --> 00:18:04.070
CINC Marketing: trust us. Spend this money, and you'll make money, and it's you know I need to know. I'm going to make money before I spend the money, you know, and and

156
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.900
CINC Marketing: unfortunately, the thing that it takes is time.

157
00:18:08.070 --> 00:18:11.610
CINC Marketing: you know, to to close the leads. And so

158
00:18:12.060 --> 00:18:19.010
CINC Marketing: and I manage the social side of client ad spend as well. So you know a lot of the time those leads

159
00:18:19.270 --> 00:18:27.799
CINC Marketing: take longer on average to close than well, most of the time we would expect that those leads will take longer to than on average to close than a lead

160
00:18:28.090 --> 00:18:34.819
CINC Marketing: from search. And so that I really am excited about the AI, because.

161
00:18:35.790 --> 00:18:38.889
CINC Marketing: you know, there's there, I think there's less things that are

162
00:18:39.100 --> 00:18:50.249
CINC Marketing: falling through the cracks, you know, when an existing lead re-engages, for instance, what like the the cool thing with the Charleston sale is that lead?

163
00:18:51.110 --> 00:18:58.490
CINC Marketing: They were on vacation. They came. They googled it at like 7 30. AI responded. 5 min later

164
00:18:58.620 --> 00:19:00.889
CINC Marketing: that agent woke up to

165
00:19:01.850 --> 00:19:11.589
CINC Marketing: a 22 million dollar appointment on a Monday, you know. That'll cure the Mondays so like. But I get it at the same time.

166
00:19:12.710 --> 00:19:18.009
CINC Marketing: you know. I it's interesting because and we've talked about this, but it kind of puts.

167
00:19:18.230 --> 00:19:28.049
CINC Marketing: you know, sink at odds with ourselves because we want. You know, we know AI converts, but it also has, you know, a cost associated for us and

168
00:19:28.610 --> 00:19:37.889
CINC Marketing: the development that goes into it. The research that goes into it. I mean, it's 1 of a kind, I think, you know, and I don't know. That's not an answer.

169
00:19:38.390 --> 00:19:39.220
James Terry: I like what.

170
00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:42.029
CINC Marketing: Tom, that's a meandering down my thought process.

171
00:19:42.443 --> 00:19:49.009
James Terry: Well, I really like what Matt said about it being a math equation, right? I I think, in terms of numbers a lot. And

172
00:19:49.250 --> 00:20:13.369
James Terry: so for $200 a month we're talking about 2,400 a year that goes into it. So what size home needs to be sold from an appointment set by AI like you were saying, if you get one or 2, 1 appointment, 2 appointments out of the entire year. A $200,000 transaction covers the entire cost like, right? What's the the math here like? You make a few $1,000 on a fairly.

173
00:20:14.530 --> 00:20:39.570
James Terry: I don't want to say minor, but not a particularly aggressive goal in terms of transaction cost right? To to cover that. So the math equation makes a lot of sense to me. I like what Lane said on here. In the chat, talking about it, taking the place of an assistant. Harry. If you hadn't mentioned it, I was gonna say the exact same thing that that Charleston deal that lead came in at 8 o'clock on a Sunday night, right? I wasn't sure if Dan had mentioned that. But

174
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:48.849
James Terry: it's tough to be on your on the ball to the degree that you're gonna respond to a lead personally like, even if you're willing to make the calls, if you're like, you know, in the game

175
00:20:48.950 --> 00:21:12.010
James Terry: 8 o'clock on a Sunday night you might not text them back, and immediately. But the AI is always. It's always on. It's always got there. And lastly, Eleanor had mentioned that she's canceled and and re-engaged AI over the years. My question is, when was that most recent? Because the updates and in sync AI, I mean, it has been ever evolving and.

176
00:21:12.190 --> 00:21:13.700
Matt Hart: Yeah. The the AI we hear you

177
00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:29.749
Matt Hart: years ago is not the AI that we have now. And that's that was my point earlier, right. I was like you that time for all of the data inputs to make the system smarter. And that's what ours has been doing for the last 4 years, right? We've been building and iterating off this thing for 4 years, based on

178
00:21:29.750 --> 00:21:48.609
Matt Hart: millions of leads. Not just not just right, like millions and millions and millions of leads. Right? So by this point, we've got billions of data points telling us what works and what doesn't work helps us to refine to optimize for conversion. Right? And so that's what that's what enables

179
00:21:48.610 --> 00:22:06.819
Matt Hart: our agents to scale their operation, because now they can work twice as many leads or 3 times as many leads, and at the end of the day it is a math equation, right? And so you have to. You have to determine for yourself what level of investment you're comfortable with, right? But if if you've got.

180
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.949
Matt Hart: you know

181
00:22:09.300 --> 00:22:28.909
Matt Hart: whatever you pick your pick your dollar amount right like, it's just a math equation. Plug it in. We can help you do that right. Like our our account manager. Your account manager, should be able to help you plug in the numbers and go, hey, if you invest this much in lead, gen, with our tools and our system, this is the output. You should get right. And it's really it really is predictable

182
00:22:28.910 --> 00:22:46.349
Matt Hart: because we've done it over millions and millions and millions of leads, thousands and thousands of of real estate agents, tens of thousands of real estate agents. We see this on an annual basis. We continually are optimizing to get those higher conversions and building that right into the system for our clients.

183
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.119
CINC Marketing: Yeah. And I think,

184
00:22:49.770 --> 00:22:56.390
CINC Marketing: I 1st off. I love what Tom said. I agree. If you slay a dragon everyone eats. That's great.

185
00:22:56.390 --> 00:22:58.129
James Terry: I love. That's really worded. Yeah.

186
00:22:58.130 --> 00:23:05.680
CINC Marketing: That's awesome. But I, you know, like, that's what I love about these office hours like, I think this is very valid.

187
00:23:05.870 --> 00:23:11.389
CINC Marketing: you know, feedback, and like Tom, I would like, I wouldn't be talking to you guys about this.

188
00:23:12.189 --> 00:23:16.340
CINC Marketing: This is all very interesting feedback. And I, you know, I say that

189
00:23:17.155 --> 00:23:22.590
CINC Marketing: I always tell people. Sync is an iterative company.

190
00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:25.629
CINC Marketing: like a lot of times when when

191
00:23:26.230 --> 00:23:37.369
CINC Marketing: you know you should see the way things used to be from time to time of of it. It gets better in steps. And I think, you know, we're constantly improving. We're constantly innovating.

192
00:23:38.008 --> 00:23:43.709
CINC Marketing: So this feedback is very valid, and you know great. Thank you, Tom.

193
00:23:44.549 --> 00:23:49.020
CINC Marketing: I don't know if that's a right answer, that that's just kind of more.

194
00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:54.579
Matt Hart: I love Gn's comment. Here, too, you saw that one.

195
00:23:56.260 --> 00:23:57.509
CINC Marketing: As a video, we've been able to.

196
00:23:58.670 --> 00:24:01.080
CINC Marketing: Yeah. So and I think that's.

197
00:24:02.020 --> 00:24:07.090
CINC Marketing: you know, like, if you get someone who's ready to go see a home right then. You've got

198
00:24:07.600 --> 00:24:09.179
CINC Marketing: the chance of

199
00:24:09.290 --> 00:24:14.379
CINC Marketing: getting them on, you know, easily getting them on the phone. I think it's the person that is

200
00:24:15.450 --> 00:24:23.180
CINC Marketing: 10 months down the road that this is even more beneficial, for because they're not gonna the AI is not going to miss

201
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.849
CINC Marketing: that action that someone takes on the site, whereas

202
00:24:28.982 --> 00:24:36.380
CINC Marketing: and it's not just doing it once as a a human. It's doing it every time, you know. And that's

203
00:24:37.330 --> 00:24:38.260
CINC Marketing: and.

204
00:24:38.260 --> 00:25:05.959
Matt Hart: You've been a client for for sync of any. You know any amount of time right? Like. At some point it gets really difficult to work all of the leads that you're getting on a monthly basis, and all of the leads in your database right like, how do you? How do you do that without without something that's there, because you don't know to keep your eyes on all of it. It's it's it's really tough, and that's, I think one of the other things that really sets sync apart from everybody else is like.

205
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:27.120
Matt Hart: we're gonna we're gonna bubble up and continue to work that opportunity. But bubble it up for you so that it becomes like we're waving our hands at you, saying, Hey, this lead wants to talk to you right? It's super super obvious, because it's it's, you know, that's our that's you know. Our our agent ready leads right like they're waving their hands, saying, Hey, I'm ready to talk to an agent. Now.

206
00:25:27.900 --> 00:25:33.670
CINC Marketing: When this has been the biggest shift, I think, in my 10 years here at Sync it's gone from.

207
00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:36.299
CINC Marketing: Yes, it's a numbers game.

208
00:25:36.570 --> 00:25:40.790
CINC Marketing: Get as many new leads as you can call them right away

209
00:25:41.030 --> 00:25:43.649
CINC Marketing: to. It is still a numbers game.

210
00:25:43.860 --> 00:25:49.330
CINC Marketing: You still need to do that, but you can increase your numbers by

211
00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:58.480
CINC Marketing: harvesting. That's a creepy word. But you know what I mean like continuing to prospect to these older leads. And actually.

212
00:25:58.910 --> 00:26:02.959
CINC Marketing: these older leads are probably more valuable because

213
00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:07.349
CINC Marketing: they've been in the system. They've been being nurtured, you know. They said.

214
00:26:08.036 --> 00:26:23.059
CINC Marketing: They were ready to buy in a year 10 months ago, you know, and now they're coming back from a property alert or so, you know, I think the AI the focus of not just to follow up. But I think where we're headed with the AI, too, of

215
00:26:24.260 --> 00:26:25.430
CINC Marketing: you know you.

216
00:26:25.600 --> 00:26:37.750
CINC Marketing: Our main goal is to collect leads and surface people that want to speak to you, and you know, to collect leads and help you. It's to streamline this process, it's to, you know. Cut through this numbers game.

217
00:26:39.840 --> 00:26:41.870
CINC Marketing: Mary Jo. I do see your

218
00:26:42.802 --> 00:26:47.740
CINC Marketing: ready to set appointment, I think, are you? I think you mean agent ready?

219
00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:53.079
CINC Marketing: Not the case. Not sure. Why AI says that in the instances, and that is not the case.

220
00:26:53.878 --> 00:26:55.222
CINC Marketing: I will say

221
00:26:56.290 --> 00:27:07.519
CINC Marketing: So this is definitely a good question for support as well, because they'd be more versed in it than I would be. But I have, you know, seen AI set a lead to agent ready when

222
00:27:07.950 --> 00:27:10.839
CINC Marketing: there's a question that needs human input.

223
00:27:11.330 --> 00:27:15.910
CINC Marketing: you know. So I think, really, just agent ready. A lot of the time is alerting you. That.

224
00:27:16.630 --> 00:27:20.370
CINC Marketing: hey? This is a good time for you to step in and

225
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:26.579
CINC Marketing: and and text with the lead. I don't know if you were on last month but we had

226
00:27:26.780 --> 00:27:32.609
CINC Marketing: Chelsea Scott and Tamara Ward, and they talked about

227
00:27:33.290 --> 00:27:42.079
CINC Marketing: a lot about the AI messaging, you know, when to take over that kind of stuff. So that that's a really interesting one. If you have other questions around that.

228
00:27:42.390 --> 00:27:44.840
CINC Marketing: Any thoughts on Mary's comment. Yeah.

229
00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:49.507
James Terry: Harry, you might have the exact numbers, Matt. You might know this

230
00:27:50.060 --> 00:28:14.319
James Terry: agent ready leads get set to appointment status, or like appointment set status in the dashboard at like 8 times the the rate of other leads. It was something like that. We had run these numbers at 1 point when talking at the how valid and how valuable is the agent. Ready status when it gets to you that kind of thing. So that's not to say that it's 100 of the time when it's agent ready or ready.

231
00:28:14.801 --> 00:28:16.728
Matt Hart: Agent ready doesn't mean

232
00:28:17.210 --> 00:28:17.890
James Terry: Exactly.

233
00:28:17.890 --> 00:28:38.819
Matt Hart: Someone clicks. Set an appointment with an agent. Now it just means right that there, there's a there's a criteria that that does go into what those leads mean right? And to to Harry's point, it's best to talk to your account, manager and and make sure you understand all the details on whether because the talk track might be a little bit different, depending on which one you're talking to. Right

234
00:28:39.209 --> 00:28:53.949
Matt Hart: and that's right, like. At the end of the day, too. You've got to match the right scripts with the right leads right? The better the better. You can understand what kind of lead you're dealing with. The better. Your opportunity to to convert that that lead to to businesses.

235
00:28:56.130 --> 00:28:57.889
CINC Marketing: Have set up for more info.

236
00:28:58.430 --> 00:29:04.620
CINC Marketing: Okay, Tom, when you say the views, are you referring to like

237
00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:11.220
CINC Marketing: property views? Or just I wanna make sure be, or that I'm understanding what you say.

238
00:29:11.540 --> 00:29:13.798
CINC Marketing: That's interesting, Gene, with the

239
00:29:14.910 --> 00:29:16.889
CINC Marketing: far right views. Okay, thank you.

240
00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:19.590
CINC Marketing: But that's interesting. With the

241
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:31.510
CINC Marketing: retirement capital. I remember you're in Florida. I've seen your name. I think you are. I'm just going out on limbs today, and I'm too fat for that. So all right, awesome. So you are in Florida.

242
00:29:32.394 --> 00:29:35.129
James Terry: But that's really interesting.

243
00:29:35.530 --> 00:29:37.670
CINC Marketing: That's really interesting with the

244
00:29:38.490 --> 00:29:45.729
CINC Marketing: like, the importance of the AI in a just a longer sales cycle. It's kind of like what we were talking about

245
00:29:46.560 --> 00:29:48.990
CINC Marketing: on the the social side as well.

246
00:29:50.570 --> 00:29:56.519
CINC Marketing: So any more thoughts on that, Dan. You look! You look poignant and poised.

247
00:29:57.270 --> 00:29:59.259
CINC Marketing: and oh, so handsome! Do you have any.

248
00:29:59.260 --> 00:29:59.970
Daniel Lott: Thank you.

249
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:03.490
Daniel Lott: Do do I have any but.

250
00:30:03.970 --> 00:30:06.899
CINC Marketing: Cookies or thoughts on that question.

251
00:30:07.342 --> 00:30:15.477
Daniel Lott: No, but also just the fact that it's getting better, as Matt said, but also there also, there's some big features that they're working on like a couple of months ago.

252
00:30:16.187 --> 00:30:23.280
Daniel Lott: Jeff, our product head product said that we're gonna be having voice AI in in a little while, and that

253
00:30:23.760 --> 00:30:24.859
Daniel Lott: that will be

254
00:30:25.860 --> 00:30:32.879
Daniel Lott: something that'll be. That'll be very interesting to see what what, what that does. I'm really excited about that extremely excited about that.

255
00:30:33.110 --> 00:30:38.429
James Terry: Yeah, I've heard of a a model or proof of concept on on the voice. AI, and it is.

256
00:30:38.760 --> 00:30:42.060
James Terry: It is pretty slick. It's gonna be good when they're when they're ready to make that move.

257
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:59.069
CINC Marketing: Well. But again, it's all about. And all right. So I'm gonna go back to that time that I filmed a 12 h sales training one on one with the sales trainer, and he talked about. You know, it's all about features, advantages, and benefits, right? Like

258
00:30:59.470 --> 00:31:05.509
CINC Marketing: there's there's just the benefit of this all is. This entire system is designed to

259
00:31:06.040 --> 00:31:15.759
CINC Marketing: help guide you in your day of you know these are the people that want to talk to me. These are the people that I'm still trying to prospect and just prioritize that, you know.

260
00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:17.600
CINC Marketing: And I guess so.

261
00:31:18.130 --> 00:31:22.150
CINC Marketing: It like one of the things I'm always interested in Matt.

262
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:29.100
CINC Marketing: and I think you'll have an interesting perspective on it, so like what

263
00:31:29.750 --> 00:31:36.260
CINC Marketing: this feels like. Such a sales salesy question, such a softball! But like what? What really does set

264
00:31:36.490 --> 00:31:39.880
CINC Marketing: sink apart like, what's better.

265
00:31:40.570 --> 00:31:52.910
CINC Marketing: what's better about sync than like, really, yeah, like the AI to me, I think, is much better than a lot of the competitors I've seen. That hasn't always been the case, but now it is.

266
00:31:52.910 --> 00:31:53.370
Matt Hart: Yeah.

267
00:31:53.370 --> 00:31:56.709
CINC Marketing: You know? I mean, what do you.

268
00:31:56.710 --> 00:32:04.460
Matt Hart: Yeah, there was like I. I can recall times, you know, in the not terribly distant past, where there were some like

269
00:32:04.610 --> 00:32:34.099
Matt Hart: there were some major omissions on the Crm. Side for us, right? Like being able to send like birthday reminders was something like, for, for, like the 1st 4 years I was here. We were like, I don't understand. Why can we not do this basic thing that every other Crm can do? I mean, that's no longer the case, I would say, you're you're gonna be hard pressed to find a a feature or a function that sync does not do that everybody else does, and and at this point doesn't do better. But you know.

270
00:32:34.470 --> 00:32:37.510
CINC Marketing: What's your favorite? What's your favorite, Matt?

271
00:32:37.790 --> 00:32:40.920
Matt Hart: My favorite. What feature!

272
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:41.730
CINC Marketing: Yeah.

273
00:32:42.390 --> 00:32:44.999
Matt Hart: It's got it. It's gotta be AI like I don't.

274
00:32:46.070 --> 00:32:47.849
Daniel Lott: Other than AI, Matt. Come on.

275
00:32:48.213 --> 00:32:50.756
CINC Marketing: Dan is bored with your AI. Talk.

276
00:32:51.120 --> 00:33:03.319
Matt Hart: So. So what sets so I could tell you like this. This is what I have found in my 8 years in this industry. What I found is your Crm. Is only as good as the leads you're putting in it.

277
00:33:04.170 --> 00:33:05.120
CINC Marketing: So.

278
00:33:05.330 --> 00:33:07.259
Daniel Lott: There you go! There you go! That's the right hand.

279
00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:30.890
Matt Hart: It may sound like I'm pandering to my my hosts, but the the truth is this, the serum is only as good as the leads. You're putting in it. And and if you're putting garbage in, you're gonna get garbage out. What I will tell you is syncs. Lead generation is hands down. I know this is not a, not an education that you guys need. But you know from. And we've

280
00:33:31.040 --> 00:33:46.269
Matt Hart: talk to people who've gotten leads from every other system. We've hired people from every other company that that competes with us, and they all, every last one of them say, syncs, lead. Generation is is hands down better than anything else out there.

281
00:33:46.270 --> 00:34:03.909
Matt Hart: and it's the hyper local approach that we take. It's the example that Dan just used on on the the you know, the level of micro targeting. We can do even within those hyper local ad groups that are driving these incredible results for our clients. Right?

282
00:34:03.910 --> 00:34:05.160
Matt Hart: And so

283
00:34:05.280 --> 00:34:19.170
Matt Hart: you know the way that we're doing it is different than with the way everyone else is doing it right. Generally speaking, most companies are out there doing zip code based marketing. They're they're putting a PIN in doing 30 mile radius based marketing sync

284
00:34:19.170 --> 00:34:43.159
Matt Hart: has an entirely different way of going out and and maximizing our clients ad budgets based on the markets that they want to serve, driving higher higher value transactions through targeting certain areas and and features within properties, that sort of thing. So we've got the ability to go a lot deeper

285
00:34:43.170 --> 00:35:01.500
Matt Hart: than everyone else, I think. And that's really the proprietary technology we've built to manage ad spend and and bids on on Google, for instance, these are tools that other companies just don't have. And so I think that's really what sets us apart.

286
00:35:02.520 --> 00:35:03.270
CINC Marketing: I mean, that's.

287
00:35:03.270 --> 00:35:03.770
James Terry: And.

288
00:35:03.770 --> 00:35:11.950
CINC Marketing: I think that's the key thing is, it's not a replicatable and easy, easily replicatable replicable.

289
00:35:12.170 --> 00:35:15.859
CINC Marketing: We'll edit that. It's not easy to duplicate the

290
00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:32.760
CINC Marketing: the tools that are running in the background. And that so it's not, you know, a lot of times with the competition. It's like, Oh, you're putting ads on Google business pages. Okay, we can do that now. It's no. This is a decade of research, a decade of tech work

291
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:36.080
CINC Marketing: to allow us to do things.

292
00:35:36.670 --> 00:35:46.150
CINC Marketing: Here we go and sinks. Syncs built different low key, high key, high key sinks, built different.

293
00:35:47.850 --> 00:35:55.159
James Terry: And over the years, and you know, I've been at Sync. We were talking to. How long everyone's been around and stuff like that.

294
00:35:56.780 --> 00:36:05.053
James Terry: we've seen when the client marketing team and I'll I'll touch on this very briefly, because Matt's here from the sales perspective. And I do have a question for him. But

295
00:36:06.160 --> 00:36:09.510
James Terry: We've seen that when the client marketing team and the lead generation

296
00:36:09.790 --> 00:36:34.029
James Terry: partners with our tech team, like the change in the impact to our lead quality. Our cost per lead. The value of the leads to our clients is not just the, you know, the next evolution of what's changed. But when we really partner with tech, it becomes like this, more of a revolution of what we're able to produce. I'm looking back to when we created. Our automation to create niche ad groups

297
00:36:34.040 --> 00:36:47.139
James Terry: and really get specific and tailored into long tail keywords is the term we're using. But people that are searching gated communities or high rises in Las Vegas, and we can tailor the the ad copy.

298
00:36:47.140 --> 00:37:10.249
James Terry: the the keyword itself, the landing page that we're driving and and add all that together, so that people are finding what they're looking for with as few clicks as possible. But also Google's relevance is, you know, drives down the cost because Google sees all those things as so relevant to each other. And it's all so tailored together. That was one huge impact of our team really collaborating with tech to build that tool

299
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:20.669
James Terry: internally, specifically for what we needed. And right now, what we're working on with tech. And our team has been looking into this, we've been wanting. This is to link

300
00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:32.519
James Terry: the adwords campaigns where the ads are actually run and how we manage them in Google to the leads that are generated in the dashboard. So that way we'll be able to know on our end

301
00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:59.129
James Terry: not just what was the cost per lead. The conversion rate like data like that. But we'll actually be able to know. Was this a real verified lead? And which of these keywords? Which of the ad copy will be able to run tests on our side, to focus on real verified and eventually to focus. And this is why I bring all of this up to the group of clients eventually to focus on, not just what lead gets generated, but which leads that get generated

302
00:37:59.510 --> 00:38:17.989
James Terry: are contacted, which are, get to an appointment set status like, where in the pipeline status that we can focus on. And I say all that to say, using the pipeline and setting those leads when you do contact one, to set it to contacted. When you do set an appointment or make an appointment

303
00:38:17.990 --> 00:38:30.439
James Terry: to update that stuff will really be valuable, not just from an engagement perspective. But it'll be very valuable from a lead generation perspective, so that we can focus on generating

304
00:38:30.520 --> 00:38:47.449
James Terry: more appointments leads, so that we know what terms and what keywords and what niches that we're. You know, these hyper local targeting that we're using what's actually bringing value, not just bringing in leads. So I'm excited about that next big focus for lead generation. As that question came up.

305
00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:58.639
James Terry: But, Matt, while we've got you here. One of my questions is, what have you been working on most like recently? Like, what are you excited about? Where we're going? What's your? You know? The last

306
00:38:58.780 --> 00:39:06.720
James Terry: 3 months, 6 months a year, like as the vice president of our sales team. What are you excited about the direction that you're taking? The team.

307
00:39:06.720 --> 00:39:16.343
Matt Hart: Yeah. So we're working right now. We've been working on really. Something pretty transformative, I think.

308
00:39:17.140 --> 00:39:33.940
Matt Hart: you know, I I think the competitive landscape has really started to to change a little bit in our space. In that you're seeing a lot fewer sort of like all in one solutions like like sync offers.

309
00:39:34.329 --> 00:39:55.369
Matt Hart: Where you're doing idx Legion and Crm all all together in one. And you're seeing a lot more of like piecemeal. Right? So like, you're gonna see combinations of technologies that people are running as their solution that require multiple integrations, things like that. Just and and so everyone knows in the tech world.

310
00:39:55.773 --> 00:40:07.879
Matt Hart: The more the like multiple integrations just means more potentials for failure. Right? Like, where where things can break, is is really what I mean? And then and then

311
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:22.330
Matt Hart: the 2 companies have to go running around trying to figure out, well, is it broken on your end, or is it broken on your end? And and that takes time to to resolve. Meanwhile, clients are sitting in the middle going. When's my stuff? Gonna get back up. I've got business. I need to do but

312
00:40:22.330 --> 00:40:47.259
Matt Hart: you've seen this this sort of like shift towards piecemeal solutions to to, you know. Because everybody's, you know, there's the new thing that comes out, and I want to bolt that on to the thing that I'm using over here that I like, and I don't want to shift and change all over everything. And so and then you've got companies that used to be all in one that are now breaking it up and go. Well, you can just buy this if you only want this

313
00:40:47.260 --> 00:41:08.959
Matt Hart: piece or this. If you only want this piece, I I would say that sync is when everybody else is is zigging. Sync is zagging right like. And that's really, I think, what we're what we're working on right now is something that's gonna be pretty transformative, which is an all in one solution. I'm just gonna tease a little bit. I'm not gonna go, too, in depth with it.

314
00:41:09.030 --> 00:41:11.530
Matt Hart: But where Sync has.

315
00:41:11.630 --> 00:41:22.199
Matt Hart: you know, charged for these additional technologies like AI, you know, Tom brought up you know, as an extra $200. We're working on an all inclusive platform

316
00:41:22.490 --> 00:41:26.650
Matt Hart: where we're even going to provide access to the leads.

317
00:41:27.267 --> 00:41:54.860
Matt Hart: And we're gonna do it at a at a lower monthly cost than what you see on our traditional platform. And so the idea is that we're building out what what's more like a real partnership program. I'll I'll call it that. For now where where sync is really partnering with you is your your, the the tech extension of your business if you will. Right? And we're investing in your business, because.

318
00:41:54.860 --> 00:42:17.689
Matt Hart: you know, we're so confident in our ability to generate leads and your ability to close those leads and and turn them into transactions that we're willing to put our money where our mouth is right. And so we're going to invest back into our clients. We're gonna build an all inclusive platform of all of those best practices that we know give agents the absolute, best chance of success.

319
00:42:18.060 --> 00:42:29.619
Matt Hart: That's all being built into one platform. You're gonna see more about that over the coming months with sync, it's something that we're really excited about. And so I can. I can sort of

320
00:42:29.730 --> 00:42:32.689
Matt Hart: tease that a little bit, but that's that's what's coming.

321
00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:42.440
CINC Marketing: I think that's I'm excited about that, because it really aligns like like kind of what I said earlier. You know, it really aligns

322
00:42:43.550 --> 00:42:47.870
CINC Marketing: both of you know both our clients with us of

323
00:42:48.503 --> 00:42:50.850
CINC Marketing: you know. Hey? Here's all the things that

324
00:42:51.360 --> 00:43:05.260
CINC Marketing: because what sync has that others don't have, aside from, you know, like the lead targeting, that kind of stuff is just the access to data. And I mean, we can see the entire journey of a lead we from the creation of that lead to

325
00:43:05.390 --> 00:43:18.309
CINC Marketing: how many calls it takes for them to answer the phone to when they set their appointment. When they go under contract. I mean, if you use deals, we can see the property value, and that all goes back into

326
00:43:19.790 --> 00:43:23.135
CINC Marketing: what we then put out there to generate more leads.

327
00:43:23.680 --> 00:43:27.019
CINC Marketing: so I think that you know that access to data

328
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:29.749
CINC Marketing: is really gonna be a a.

329
00:43:30.050 --> 00:43:32.770
CINC Marketing: it's what you know sets us apart from

330
00:43:33.640 --> 00:43:39.129
CINC Marketing: just because someone thinks something's gonna work. We know exactly what does work.

331
00:43:39.390 --> 00:43:42.230
CINC Marketing: And you know, this is what you should do. And

332
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:47.766
CINC Marketing: you know, since I see a lot of ads for pay it closing kind of

333
00:43:48.530 --> 00:43:52.080
CINC Marketing: companies. And usually they haven't been around for very long.

334
00:43:52.649 --> 00:43:59.590
CINC Marketing: And there's probably a reason for that, and they're usually not around for very long. After that, you know, Sync has been around for

335
00:43:59.930 --> 00:44:00.820
CINC Marketing: 10 years.

336
00:44:01.020 --> 00:44:12.669
Matt Hart: And the reason for that, though area is right like zillow, Zillow owns like the eyeballs right like. That's what Zillow's done really? Well is is, they've built the eyeballs, and the thing is there.

337
00:44:12.670 --> 00:44:42.670
Matt Hart: That's a it's a viable business model. It's great for Zillow. It's it's less great for agents who are paying 40% of of their their commissions to zillow after the fact. And when you look at a cost per sale, analysis between something like sync and something like zillow flex. You you're gonna see that zillow is astronomically more expensive and much, much more difficult to scale the business with. Right and and.

338
00:44:42.670 --> 00:44:46.120
CINC Marketing: Right off. There is time, the closing.

339
00:44:46.120 --> 00:44:57.460
Matt Hart: That's what you're you're paying for someone else, someone else to do. The effort of lead conversion, ultimately, right like. And so the question is.

340
00:44:57.600 --> 00:45:27.329
Matt Hart: how much do you want to pay for someone else to do that right? And we think that there should be something in between right like there's there's the tradition, the traditional sync model. And then there's the Flex model where they're taking nearly half of of your money. We think there should be something that that sits somewhere in the middle there, right like where you can, you can enable people with the tools and technology to be successful and scale their business in a meaningful way, but not take.

341
00:45:27.620 --> 00:45:43.520
Matt Hart: you know, 40 45%. And they're moving. I I you know, I hear people saying that they think they're moving even higher than that in the future. So you know it. It just depends on on what level, what level of work you, the agent, want to put into it.

342
00:45:43.520 --> 00:45:58.152
Matt Hart: But again, and this is the point with with technology and AI, and using automation to help you manage a larger volume of opportunity, which is what gives you the scalability? Right?

343
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:03.360
Matt Hart: I could probably talk about that for for hours in and of itself as a topic, but.

344
00:46:03.640 --> 00:46:18.020
CINC Marketing: Well, I mean the the short term trade off, or whatever is time when you're talking about like a sync lead versus a zillow lead. But the long term trade off is dependence. Yeah, you know, I mean, you are

345
00:46:18.410 --> 00:46:25.340
CINC Marketing: dependent on that provider, whereas with sync, you know it's it. It.

346
00:46:25.690 --> 00:46:32.689
Matt Hart: You are working leads generated specifically for you, you know, and and you have a control of.

347
00:46:33.730 --> 00:46:36.950
CINC Marketing: You know what you spend with us and what leads cost. And

348
00:46:37.100 --> 00:46:46.040
CINC Marketing: so I do want to get to Tom's question. We've been keeping him on. It's like not saying the score in a radio broadcast of a basketball game

349
00:46:46.200 --> 00:47:05.910
CINC Marketing: till we come back from break. So Tom, thanks for hanging out, but and again, let me know if I'm the way I understand your question, Tom, you said, can you discuss how you may limit zip codes or markets for other agencies in an area, and leads possibly repeating to another agency. So my understanding of that is

350
00:47:06.100 --> 00:47:08.010
CINC Marketing: like oversaturation.

351
00:47:08.560 --> 00:47:15.449
CINC Marketing: How do we make sure that we are not oversaturating a market and either

352
00:47:15.830 --> 00:47:24.570
CINC Marketing: generating the same lead on across multiple sites, or I guess, driving up the cost per lead for.

353
00:47:24.570 --> 00:47:27.479
Daniel Lott: Can I answer this question, Harry? I haven't really.

354
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:28.160
CINC Marketing: And yes.

355
00:47:28.160 --> 00:47:29.280
Daniel Lott: Since today, so.

356
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:30.470
CINC Marketing: I guess Dan.

357
00:47:30.470 --> 00:47:32.179
Daniel Lott: I wanna I wanna be involved.

358
00:47:32.180 --> 00:47:39.069
CINC Marketing: Yes, so he says. Yes, by not having 20 agencies using sync in the Asheville area. Right? He just said that.

359
00:47:39.070 --> 00:47:51.500
Daniel Lott: Okay, alright, so you know we are. I guess our opinions on this topic have changed over the years. I've been here from the beginning. But we are a lot more worried about that in

360
00:47:52.390 --> 00:48:21.930
Daniel Lott: the early days. And that is because the way Google because of the way Google's ads were run. There's something called the I guess it was impression share. So we would do this very complicated analysis of like based on a normal, you know, if somebody's searching homes for sale in Asheville, like, what are the odds that somebody is going to see a sync ad. And then, because of the way they used to have, like

361
00:48:22.100 --> 00:48:26.639
Daniel Lott: 2 rows of ads. And so you could see the same. Technically.

362
00:48:27.490 --> 00:48:34.429
Daniel Lott: you can see this. You could see the Sync ads, like 6 versions of it, based on the thing. It's like, that that's

363
00:48:34.950 --> 00:48:35.730
Daniel Lott: that's.

364
00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:38.950
CINC Marketing: That's when they put the ad copy above the fold right?

365
00:48:39.730 --> 00:48:41.280
CINC Marketing: Or is that I don't know.

366
00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:43.329
Daniel Lott: That's when that's when they had the column, the column.

367
00:48:43.330 --> 00:48:46.159
Daniel Lott: Oh, on the side, that's right. That was before they.

368
00:48:46.160 --> 00:48:46.850
James Terry: School, like.

369
00:48:46.850 --> 00:48:57.239
Daniel Lott: Kind of switched to the mobile 1st interface. So, anyway, so that we were. And we we used to turn down a lot of much to match chagrin, we would turn down, we would say no.

370
00:48:57.240 --> 00:48:57.740
CINC Marketing: Okay.

371
00:48:57.740 --> 00:49:01.186
Daniel Lott: We're full. We can't handle anymore. And then they

372
00:49:01.710 --> 00:49:04.799
Daniel Lott: they! I don't think Asheville was ever like that. But there was some.

373
00:49:05.090 --> 00:49:10.810
Matt Hart: Phoenix. Phoenix Las Vegas was Miami at a time.

374
00:49:10.810 --> 00:49:12.280
James Terry: Parts of Northern Virginia.

375
00:49:13.140 --> 00:49:13.510
CINC Marketing: Yes.

376
00:49:13.510 --> 00:49:38.430
Daniel Lott: I mean. And now now we don't really we're not as concerned about that. And and the reason is it because having another per like. If another person, you know, signs up in Asheville that just means they're going with Sync as opposed to going with one of our competitors. So it's money is money. It's an ad spend is ad spend. Whoever's spending the money.

377
00:49:38.900 --> 00:49:49.149
Daniel Lott: There's nothing unique about sync in terms of the the spending of the money. And like, Oh, yeah, by having another sync person that's going to. They're all independent. They're not.

378
00:49:49.450 --> 00:49:52.959
Daniel Lott: Well, one. Okay. One thing that's very important is that

379
00:49:54.190 --> 00:50:19.289
Daniel Lott: not not to get too technical is that each of the each client at sync is its own separate account, so they have no relationship to any anybody else. If they were, if they could be set up, and I assume some competitors would have it set up so that they would be campaigns versus accounts, in which case that would, you would negatively impact the other clients. But because

380
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:24.129
Daniel Lott: we have it set up as accounts, they're completely separate entities. Google doesn't even

381
00:50:24.310 --> 00:50:29.690
Daniel Lott: Google doesn't know that they're they're both run by by sync. So they're not. It's not like, okay.

382
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:50.080
Daniel Lott: they're not rotating. It's like, okay. Well, site, a can go now. Okay, now, we're going to write now. The next time somebody searches for that same keyword we're going to have Site B like that. It's not like that. It's because they're completely separate entities, like, if if we have a boomtown or bull trail, or whoever it is, or whatever one of the competitors.

383
00:50:50.300 --> 00:50:55.120
Daniel Lott: the it's the same. So it doesn't really impact it. And

384
00:50:55.390 --> 00:51:01.920
Daniel Lott: we don't see like adding another person another client hurting the what

385
00:51:02.190 --> 00:51:31.499
Daniel Lott: it doesn't affect like the cost per click or the cost per lead. So anyway. So I think we were worrying a little. We we justifiably were worried about it because there would be some weird searches that, like we, we bid on some weird search terms that nobody else bids on. So in the early days we would have like this, these kind of these weird searches we do. And it's like, Oh, these are all sick ads that looks really bad. Now, now that doesn't happen. And before it was an issue. Now it's now it's not to be

386
00:51:32.570 --> 00:51:36.250
CINC Marketing: Is there a Tldr. Is there a Tldr of your answer, Dan.

387
00:51:37.500 --> 00:51:47.700
CINC Marketing: Well, 1, 1 of the more interesting Google searches one of the more interesting. Google searches is the evolution of the search engine results page. And just how

388
00:51:48.090 --> 00:51:56.090
CINC Marketing: ads have been more and more ingrained into normal search results. And it's the same thing with social. That's why

389
00:51:56.300 --> 00:52:06.829
CINC Marketing: Facebook bought Meta. It's why Facebook bought Insta or not. Meta bought threads. Sorry. That's why Facebook bought Instagram or Meta, who knows whatever. But it's like

390
00:52:07.680 --> 00:52:12.359
CINC Marketing: the reason that they're doing that is to expand the eyeballs on

391
00:52:12.520 --> 00:52:18.759
CINC Marketing: and to have more places to show ads and overall. It drops

392
00:52:18.970 --> 00:52:41.639
CINC Marketing: the lead costs, you know, if if you have it managed properly, and I think you know one of the other things that you know one of those articles about AI, Max and Google pushing more ads for AI, you know more AI generated ads and Meta. You know Mark Zuckerberg just mentioned the the term infinite creative.

393
00:52:42.050 --> 00:52:49.579
CINC Marketing: which means like, instead of people making ads, you can still make ads. But you would just

394
00:52:49.780 --> 00:52:53.440
CINC Marketing: go to Meta and say, find people that are interested in

395
00:52:53.700 --> 00:52:59.679
CINC Marketing: a real estate. Crm, and they would do the rest, you know. I mean, I think that's

396
00:53:00.060 --> 00:53:09.300
CINC Marketing: to me that's always dangerous, you know the more control that you seed to the billing person.

397
00:53:09.580 --> 00:53:12.610
CINC Marketing: the company controlling the costs, you know.

398
00:53:12.980 --> 00:53:18.549
CINC Marketing: But they're gonna make that easier and easier and easier. And you know, I think someone

399
00:53:19.080 --> 00:53:23.360
CINC Marketing: with campaigns that are managed like syncs will benefit from that.

400
00:53:23.790 --> 00:53:25.949
CINC Marketing: As things get more cookie cutter and

401
00:53:26.530 --> 00:53:28.310
CINC Marketing: less people know what they're doing

402
00:53:28.610 --> 00:53:31.990
CINC Marketing: because they're using AI. I don't know is that a crazy take.

403
00:53:32.830 --> 00:53:36.320
Daniel Lott: I don't know. Okay, well, I wanted to talk about that. That was that was, that was a good point.

404
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:38.379
CINC Marketing: Oh, you weren't listening! You stopped listening to me.

405
00:53:38.380 --> 00:53:40.679
Daniel Lott: Well, no, I was I well, I

406
00:53:40.860 --> 00:53:44.390
Daniel Lott: I didn't really agree with what she said. So I was gonna gloss over that.

407
00:53:44.390 --> 00:53:45.160
CINC Marketing: Okay. Okay.

408
00:53:45.848 --> 00:53:52.540
Daniel Lott: No? Well, I guess to a point like what the goal of Google and the goal of Facebook for their advertising is to have.

409
00:53:52.540 --> 00:53:54.330
CINC Marketing: Meta. It's Meta, Dan.

410
00:53:54.330 --> 00:53:54.805
Daniel Lott: It's

411
00:53:55.868 --> 00:54:12.619
Daniel Lott: it for Meta at Google is for everybody to be average. So everybody is marginally successful. So well, our job in our department is to be better than average, and we have successfully done that. And so. But there.

412
00:54:12.620 --> 00:54:13.140
CINC Marketing: Better bet.

413
00:54:13.140 --> 00:54:14.900
Daniel Lott: Like this, AI is.

414
00:54:14.900 --> 00:54:16.120
CINC Marketing: Good never rest.

415
00:54:16.120 --> 00:54:23.980
Daniel Lott: AI is another way that to oh, we're going to make things average. Okay? So we're gonna make it as easy as possible where everybody

416
00:54:24.150 --> 00:54:41.220
Daniel Lott: like at some point like, for I guess for for Meta you could just say, I want leads, leads, real estate, lead, or or just something like really like like that, and like, well, we don't have to do any work. This is great. And I have. I perform marginally well. Okay, but with us like

417
00:54:41.350 --> 00:54:48.659
Daniel Lott: some of the stuff we do like. So Google this week announced something called but it was, Search a AI for.

418
00:54:49.120 --> 00:54:49.580
CINC Marketing: Max.

419
00:54:49.580 --> 00:55:02.459
Daniel Lott: AI Max for search, or something like that. And then I guess just this morning I read another article about how they were discussing it last year, and how they like an internal Google, Doc, Google email about it. And it's like.

420
00:55:02.590 --> 00:55:06.517
Daniel Lott: Okay, yeah, I see what you're trying to do here. So it's the

421
00:55:07.060 --> 00:55:13.680
Daniel Lott: they're just trying. They try to take away like as as much levers for the P. They try to take away the levers

422
00:55:13.830 --> 00:55:24.414
Daniel Lott: of the kind of the experts, so that everybody does well. And so we're always hesitant about like arbitrarily turning on any sort of AI or any sort of

423
00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:32.099
Daniel Lott: and like any of the any of the automation that they do, because

424
00:55:32.420 --> 00:56:01.409
Daniel Lott: were able to beat the market by not doing that. And but some of them have the benefits. And I was just noticed that in the internal email they had the same number of like, Oh, yeah, you're going to get like 27% more leads for the for roughly, the same amount of cost per lead. It's like, okay. And then you said that same number with this other thing. It's okay, maybe just 20. You've tested the fact that 27 is a nice number that people like to use in terms of improvement

425
00:56:01.630 --> 00:56:12.550
Daniel Lott: because it doesn't say anything really. But anyway, long story short, I guess one of the good things about sync is that you know we will test it, and we will see how it.

426
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:31.657
Daniel Lott: how it affects accounts, how it affects lead, flow, how it affects the quality of the leads, quantity of the leads, one of the things we do as part of. Like, we mentioned the Ad group creation tool, we create a lot of landing pages that are hype, like the hyper focused. So that plays well with

427
00:56:32.020 --> 00:57:01.279
Daniel Lott: AI, because those will be the landing pages that AI would send the visitor to if our competitors don't have those landing pages. They won't get those searches. So that's that's what happens now. And that could happen in the future that would would have in the future. If we decide to do it, we we generally don't like hop on the thing like the 1st week, because, oh, it's all this is great. Google says it's gonna be great. Let's flip it on. No, we'll test it, test, test it, and then see? Like, Oh, yeah, 6 months down the road, or whatever we'll, we'll flip it on if it works.

428
00:57:01.600 --> 00:57:07.609
CINC Marketing: Right like that's so like Meta is a business. Meta makes money by having eyeballs on. Meta.

429
00:57:08.120 --> 00:57:13.100
CINC Marketing: Meta wants ads to be engaging.

430
00:57:13.560 --> 00:57:20.770
CINC Marketing: because that's what keeps people on Meta. So by by

431
00:57:21.050 --> 00:57:28.029
CINC Marketing: kind of taking out those expert ad creators and targeters and making it more accessible

432
00:57:28.560 --> 00:57:37.210
CINC Marketing: like, the question I ask myself, is, will that make the content more engaging? Maybe because AI is going to generate it? But I'm not sure.

433
00:57:37.700 --> 00:57:40.740
CINC Marketing: And so the only reason that they would do. It is

434
00:57:41.120 --> 00:57:48.080
CINC Marketing: because you're gonna have to spend more money to get the same results, using their guided

435
00:57:48.320 --> 00:58:04.600
CINC Marketing: like they now control how expensive something is, and you need someone that is looking at things like what Rlsa, you know, when the Google Rep came over and talked for 3 days about something that we had tested.

436
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:10.489
CINC Marketing: and it didn't. And that was just his Kpi to get people on Rlsa like they are a business.

437
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:15.539
CINC Marketing: And so like, Yeah, I want to play. You know, we want to play nice with Meta and Google. But

438
00:58:16.450 --> 00:58:19.240
CINC Marketing: ultimately we probably at this point.

439
00:58:19.680 --> 00:58:25.729
CINC Marketing: like we probably know a lot more about it than they know. The reps that we talk to, you know, because.

440
00:58:25.730 --> 00:58:26.590
James Terry: Oh, yeah.

441
00:58:26.590 --> 00:58:32.470
CINC Marketing: We've been through so many things and tested so many things. And I think, like, that's the point I make of.

442
00:58:32.950 --> 00:58:38.700
CINC Marketing: Yeah, if AI Max is great, we will absolutely use it.

443
00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:41.099
CINC Marketing: It has to. It has to

444
00:58:41.210 --> 00:58:45.345
CINC Marketing: focus on quality, not only quantity, you know, but

445
00:58:47.450 --> 00:58:49.890
CINC Marketing: I think it's important to have the experts there.

446
00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:53.910
CINC Marketing: So I have one random question before we go.

447
00:58:56.500 --> 00:58:57.380
Daniel Lott: For Matt.

448
00:58:57.990 --> 00:58:58.420
James Terry: How random.

449
00:58:58.420 --> 00:59:00.779
CINC Marketing: No, no, it's not for Matt, though.

450
00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:03.990
Daniel Lott: Why the vest? Why do you always wear a vest? What is it.

451
00:59:04.670 --> 00:59:06.080
CINC Marketing: Cause it's cold right here.

452
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:22.539
Matt Hart: It is actually about. It's more function than it is a form. If I get the thing about it gets cold sometimes in the office. So I wear that. But if I get hot I can just unzip it, and then the core cools down and.

453
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:25.250
CINC Marketing: Can't do that with a jacket.

454
00:59:27.650 --> 00:59:29.570
Matt Hart: How many vests do you own?

455
00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:34.830
Matt Hart: And I'll I'll ask myself that question. So the answer is.

456
00:59:34.830 --> 00:59:35.630
Daniel Lott: Not enough.

457
00:59:35.630 --> 00:59:38.100
Matt Hart: 17, I own 17 different vests.

458
00:59:38.100 --> 00:59:38.580
James Terry: 17.

459
00:59:38.580 --> 00:59:39.100
CINC Marketing: Wow!

460
00:59:39.100 --> 00:59:41.449
James Terry: Vest closet, like one spot for.

461
00:59:41.890 --> 00:59:43.540
Matt Hart: I do. I do have a best.

462
00:59:43.540 --> 00:59:44.710
James Terry: You'd have to. Yeah.

463
00:59:45.540 --> 00:59:49.259
Daniel Lott: Is that why you moved recently? Because you needed a room for your best.

464
00:59:49.410 --> 00:59:50.300
Matt Hart: Days.

465
00:59:50.520 --> 00:59:53.110
CINC Marketing: For all schools and schools, and.

466
00:59:53.600 --> 00:59:57.199
Daniel Lott: Invest space. That's why most people move.

467
00:59:57.240 --> 00:59:57.850
Daniel Lott: Bye-bye.

468
00:59:57.850 --> 01:00:04.869
Matt Hart: I have in in full transparency. I have 17, because it's possible that over the course of time

469
01:00:04.990 --> 01:00:10.040
Matt Hart: the fit of my vests has changed, and I and I go.

470
01:00:10.040 --> 01:00:10.430
Daniel Lott: Oh!

471
01:00:10.430 --> 01:00:15.460
Matt Hart: Between, sir, so right now, like in the middle section of my vests.

472
01:00:15.460 --> 01:00:15.830
James Terry: Drinking.

473
01:00:15.830 --> 01:00:18.409
Matt Hart: I'm trying to work my way back to my like.

474
01:00:18.580 --> 01:00:19.860
CINC Marketing: Summer vests.

475
01:00:20.020 --> 01:00:21.139
James Terry: Yeah, sorry about that.

476
01:00:21.640 --> 01:00:25.499
CINC Marketing: Yeah, all right. I have a random thought.

477
01:00:25.500 --> 01:00:26.400
James Terry: Brando, question, yeah.

478
01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:27.750
CINC Marketing: After Dan and James.

479
01:00:27.750 --> 01:00:28.450
Daniel Lott: Oh!

480
01:00:31.290 --> 01:00:34.499
CINC Marketing: So with all the hyper local ads that are created.

481
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:40.340
CINC Marketing: okay? And search is based on a cost per click basis.

482
01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:43.640
CINC Marketing: Do we have? Are there more?

483
01:00:43.870 --> 01:00:47.879
CINC Marketing: Does this question even make sense? Are there more ads

484
01:00:48.020 --> 01:00:57.119
CINC Marketing: that generate clicks or don't generate clicks in the sync portfolio like? Is it niche down so much

485
01:00:58.500 --> 01:01:04.380
CINC Marketing: that there are some. There are ads that are so specific they may get 2 or 3 clicks.

486
01:01:04.540 --> 01:01:06.670
CINC Marketing: and those are going to be really good leads.

487
01:01:07.850 --> 01:01:12.489
Daniel Lott: Yeah, we get probably probably a 3rd of the ad groups we create. Never. Kennedy.

488
01:01:12.650 --> 01:01:15.820
Daniel Lott: never get any clicks at all. And so but

489
01:01:16.210 --> 01:01:17.710
Daniel Lott: if, yeah, as you said, Yeah.

490
01:01:17.710 --> 01:01:18.129
James Terry: And the one.

491
01:01:18.130 --> 01:01:22.239
Daniel Lott: If they do, then they're good, and it doesn't, doesn't cost anything so.

492
01:01:22.850 --> 01:01:25.589
James Terry: At that point have them there to be eligible.

493
01:01:26.230 --> 01:01:51.129
James Terry: Yeah, they're there to be eligible if someone does look for that, and it's very relevant, and the campaign. The account overall looks good, because whether or not it gets clicked. The keyword, the landing page and the ad are all still tied to the same point of interest. So Google still sees it there as very relevant, but improves the quality score of the rest of the account, just for it being there and having been created, and it took us

494
01:01:51.180 --> 01:02:13.074
James Terry: 3 seconds to build it with the automation. So there's that value, I would say we definitely have more keywords that don't get searched, or that don't ever, you know, like, throw an ad because we have just millions and millions of keywords in the campaign, and that a classic 80, 20, or even 90 10 rule right? Like 10% of the terms, get 90% of the traffic for the most part.

495
01:02:13.800 --> 01:02:19.440
James Terry: But because of that, yeah, a lot of the ads for those keywords when it is very specific to

496
01:02:19.810 --> 01:02:25.039
James Terry: waterway access in whatever city, you know might not get searched very often.

497
01:02:25.170 --> 01:02:28.850
James Terry: but when it does, that guy's finding what they're looking for, we're there for them.

498
01:02:28.850 --> 01:02:33.300
CINC Marketing: Well, and they're a sync client is likely going to get that click.

499
01:02:33.900 --> 01:02:36.399
James Terry: Right. If they, when that search happens.

500
01:02:36.680 --> 01:02:57.090
James Terry: someone else, or you know, other campaigns that are out there in the ecosystem will not be nearly as relevant, and they certainly won't have any history to it. So there might be 3 ads that show. And, in fact, while our ad might be at the top and likely to get that click because of its relevance. We'll be paying less for that click than the person in the second or 3rd position

501
01:02:57.290 --> 01:03:03.619
James Terry: would, anyway. So we can have a better position at a lower cost because of how relevant it is. So

502
01:03:04.220 --> 01:03:06.230
James Terry: maybe that answers your random question.

503
01:03:06.230 --> 01:03:10.140
CINC Marketing: No, that's that's I've never thought of that before.

504
01:03:10.540 --> 01:03:12.690
CINC Marketing: It's like I was in the shower just now.

505
01:03:13.590 --> 01:03:16.499
CINC Marketing: Alright, and with that feels like like it's time to start

506
