Key Takeaways:

“They think, well, I’ve only done a few deals, I can work on that later, it’s not important. But that’s not the case. You need to be working on building your brand from day one so that when you’re ready to step into your brand, it’s already there.” – Sharon Vornholt

“If I had one piece of advice for people is, the thing you absolutely have to get done is your marketing because nothing else matters. If you don’t have leads coming in the door, you don’t have anything to learn to negotiate. You don’t need a buyer’s list because you don’t have deals. So you have to get the leads coming in the door. And if you outsource that and do it faster, you can make more money faster.” – Sharon Vornholt 

“So, I like to tell people marketing is how you get leads and branding is why they choose you. So if you don’t build your persona, build your brand online, build your brand at your REIA, somebody is going to do it for you, they’re going to be saying, well that Dave guy, and then that’s going to be their opinion.” – Sharon Vornholt

“The online world today, we had the unique opportunity to be seen as experts. Now you have to know your stuff. There’s no doubt about that. But you can, whether it’s through a blog or a podcast, which we do, or a YouTube channel, you can actively show people that this is what you do, this is my area of expertise. And you don’t have to wait till somebody kind of figures it out.” – Sharon Vornholt 

“Well, I tell them, you know, there is no faster way for you to become known in your industry than through video” – Sharon Vornholt
