In this episode, Joe shares how his team scaled fast using an 18-month “double down” rule, why inbound marketing beats pure cold calling, and how better training is the real unfair advantage in CRE.

Key Takeaways From The Episode

  • The 18-month rule: if you’re not winning yet, don’t quit—double down and fix the system.
  • Inbound > outbound long term: SEO + consistent content builds deal flow that compounds.
  • Training is the gap: most brokers fail because they never learn the market deeply enough to hold real conversations.
  • Perception matters: ask “what does my market think of me?” and create content that supports that answer.
  • Short, focused education wins: bite-sized videos with clear topics make people actually watch—and trust you.
