Minton: I teach real estate agents how to niche their businesses to work with real estate investors. In fact, we clone my highly successful real estate sale business in their market place. I help them create their own “turn-key” Income for Life Membership in their area. Agents launching ‘Income For Life’ have use rights for my entire business system including, lead generation, sales letters, celebrity endorsement, they can co-author their own version of my Income for Life book. Each month, I provide them with a national Income for Life Newsletter and audio CD. They charge their Income for Life Members fees and create new continuity income streams for their business too. I provide one-on-one assistance to agents launching my system. In addition, they can attend free trainings in my office and we have group mastermind calls and mastermind meetings. I only work with agents on an exclusive area basis which means they won’t have competition. This has had a dramatic impact on the mastermind effect. Each person is willing to openly share what is working and what isn’t working. “I can literally drive new clients into my office through automated marketing. In fact, prospects now have to “apply” to become one of my clients. I now have hundreds of prospects applying each year to be my client.” Q2: What is it like for a person wanting to break into the real estate, in particular, working with real estate investors? How difficult? How costly? And, in the spirit of The Phenomenon™, how quickly can they experience success? What can happen in just 12 months? Minton: When I began to niche my business I had my work set out for me: • I had to test many lead generation advertisements • I had to write and test countless sales letters • Create the membership including all of the special benefits • I had to figure out how to enroll prospects into our Income for Life Membership. • Test different price points for membership. • Figure out how to sell our members homes. • I had to write, from scratch, each monthly member newsletter. • Get testimonials and build them into our marketing materials. • Print and mail all of the sales letters. And the list goes on and on. Today, when an agent launches my Income For Life System in their area, all of this has been done for them. All the headaches have been removed and they have ready to use blueprint with proven lead generation marketing materials, proven and tested sales letters, and much more. New agents launching my System are enrolling more members faster than I did when I was creating this on the fly. This will save them countless hours, frustration and wasted money on marketing that doesn’t produce. Plus allow them to achieve more in a shorter amount of time. Q3: Let’s go back to how you got started..... Minton: I went to college for accounting. I graduated with an accounting degree and started to work for Deloitte and Touche, one of the largest public accounting firms in the world. I became a CPA and was on the partner track. A few of my clients at the accounting firm were real estate companies. I was able to see the numbers on some of their investments. This led me to start investing in real estate on the side. I decided to get my real estate license so I could find my own investments. A few of my coworkers at the accounting firm heard about my investing. Next thing I know, I’m helping them find and buy properties using my real estate license. I really enjoyed real estate and was bored to death with accounting. So I decided to leave the accounting firm and sell real estate full time. As an agent, I began by trying every business building system available. I learned from some of the top trainers. Unfortunately, all of this time was doing ‘regular’ real estate. I was trying to compete with every other agent for new listings and new buyer clients. What a struggle! I didn’t know a thing about niche and I didn’t know how to set myself apart from the other agents. I struggled big time. So what did I do…kept things going by working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.. I handled all of the marketing, the majority of the prospecting outbound calls and sold homes to clients myself. I invested tens of thousands of dollars learning from the various real estate sales trainers without any measurable impact on my business. I finally met Dan Kennedy and meticulously reengineered by business. We created an information marketing business with monthly passive income and tripled our home sales. My business went from a net loss with no real value to a massive income with substantial value. The best part is that Dan and I were able to completely eliminate prospecting. Most agents spend hours cold calling prospects, hosting open houses, going to referral meeting and soliciting their sphere of influence for clients. We use lead generation advertisements and high powered sales letters. I can literally drive new clients into my office through automated marketing. In fact, prospects now have to “apply” to become one of my clients. I now have hundreds of prospects applying each year to be my client. Q4: Fast forward and describe your business and your life as it is today... Minton: Today, I don’t even run my business anymore. I have hired a President to run the day to day operation. I have a full-time marketing director who handles all of the marketing activities and 5 full time sales agents. I do not sell any homes. I simply manage the business from my home office working just a few hours a week because it runs on auto-pilot. I realize this might sound impossible for a real estate agent, but it is true. You can call my office - I promise I won’t be there. They joke in my office that I’m like the “Wizard” in the movie Wizard of Oz. My time now is focused on spending quality time with my family. My two daughters seem to be growing up very quickly and I don’t want to miss a minute with them. I also devote a great deal of my time to helping agents launch my Less Clients More Money™™ System in their marketplace. I’m creating new Wizards all over the country! Welcome to OZ! Q5: What are the five or six most significant turning points, discoveries or breakthroughs that occurred for you along the way? Minton: 1) The power of selecting a niche - pick one target marketing and let all other opportunities go. (ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE) 2) The value of a strong sales letter - The sales letter I wrote for my real estate sales business has generated well over $2,000,000 of income (ALLOWS YOU TO AUTOMATE PROSPECTING) 3) Become the “EXPERT”. Being an “expert” by writing a book and gaining publicity makes a significant impact on prospects and clients.(ALLOWS YOU TO CONTROL YOUR TIME AND YOUR COMMISSION RATES) 4) Impact and power of participating in a mastermind group. I have been in mastermind groups with Dan Kennedy and some top business owners throughout the country for the last 3 years. These groups have had a tremendous impact on the way I see and go after opportunity. (ALLOWS YOU TO SEE BIGGER OPPORTUNITIES) Q6: Is it reasonable to say that it is easier for someone beginning in real estate today to achieve significant success than it was for you, when you started out? I’m going to assume you’ll say ‘yes’, so - why? Minton: YES! Agents launching my system receive tested and proven marketing materials. I had to spend months testing and tweaking all of our marketing pieces. I now guide agents in running a few of my “magic” advertisements. They then send my “magic” sales letter to investors who call into their office. We prepare customized new club materials for them which they give to their new clients. They have my entire Investor Attraction and Retention System customized and working for them in about 59 days. In addition, they have access to a mastermind group of agents launching the exact same business plan. The focus between agents is to leverage success. They also have access to free trainings in my office. The trainings are for them and any agents they hire for their teams. I had to train all of my agents on my own. Everything has now been put into systems and can be cloned from area to area. Lastly, they have my guidance and assistance with their questions and challenges. I have been where they are going and can save them hours of time and frustration. This is because I have already been through all of the problems they might be faced with. It’s not like I’m teaching them something I have never done myself. Oh- one more thing. I had to spend months writing and publishing my book “Income for Life.” This book now gives me instant expert positioning. Agents launching my system can become a co-author of my Income for Life book in their marketing place and be recognized as an author/expert in about a day. It doesn’t get any easier than that! Q7: What are the biggest benefits of your type of real estate business? Minton: We have combined an information marketing business with consistent passive income and a service business with very large commissions. Most information marketing businesses survive with a high volume of transactions. This is not the case with our real estate business model because our business is designed to extract maximum value from each and every client. Most real estate agents sell one home to a client. We sell multiple homes to the same clients. Fewer clients - more money. We are also positioned as experts allowing us to control our schedules. Most agents work 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. Our positioning allows us to work during normal business hours. Also, our clients are not emotional over purchases. Most home buyers and sellers are extremely emotional which makes selling homes a bigger challenge. Our clients make decisions to buy based upon numbers. If the numbers work, they buy. We know in advance if the numbers are going to work. This saves us hours upon hours showing home after home. Here is a summary of the benefits of my real estate business: 1) You’ll never have to worry where your next home sale is coming from 2) You’ll never have to worry about cutting your commissions again. 3) You’ll lock in a steady, predictable stream of commission checks 4) Stop hosting open houses forever 5) Stop ALL prospecting -forever 6) Stop wasting your time with shoppers pretending to be buyers 7) NO more listing appointments with the Seller’s dog humping your leg 8) Have control over your clients, time and your life 9) Be the envy of every other real estate professional in your area Q8: How much money are people making with your strategies? Minton: I have many success stories I can share with you about agents who have successfully duplicated our business model. These agents have transformed their businesses to be just like mine with amazing results. For example, Preston Letts in Chicago wasn’t even a licensed agent when he decided to launch my System. He obtained his real estate license and used one of my marketing pieces and signed up 32 new clients. He quickly began selling multiple homes to these clients. He also does mortgages for his clients, too. Each sale typically represents a commission to him in excess of $10,000. Now, if someone who wasn’t even licensed can have this immediate success, just imagine what can happen to someone who knows what they are doing. And Preston isn’t the only one with these results, I have many students with similar success stories. (See Success Stories page) Q9: We both know - people are skeptical. They’re going to doubt that the real picture is as rosy as you make it out to be. They’re going to suspect there’s a part of the story you’re not telling. Or they’re going to accept your accomplishments as fact, but still doubt that they can experience the same kind of success. What do you have to say to people with these kinds of doubts? Minton: Skepticism is normal and to be expected. It might be helpful to step back and look at the big picture. In the big picture, we have stumbled into massive demand for our services. The massive demand for our services is created by the big infomercial programs on TV. These infomercials get people excited about investing in real estate. They sell books and CD’s, but don’t provide any local personalized help. We have been able to grow so fast because we are able to help investors locally in one-on-one situations. We walk through homes with investors. We help them decide which homes to buy, and which homes not to buy. We help them negotiate the best price. More importantly, we help them with their investment property until it is a profitable investment operating on auto-pilot. Many of our clients have purchased the infomercial products but didn’t invest because they were fearful of making a mistake. We simply eliminate the fear by providing one-on-one assistance. In the big picture, the infomercial companies create excitement about real estate investing and we capitalize on this opportunity in a local, personalized way. This demand for personalized help with investing is everywhere, not just in Cleveland, Ohio. Agents launching my System tap into this same demand and then copy our format for helping these investors. Another comment I have on this topic would be that our business is based upon systems, not people. • We have systems for attracting prospects. • We have systems for enrolling prospects into our investing club • We have systems that get our investors excited and motivated to purchase homes • We have systems for selling homes • We have systems for retaining our clients “I manage my sales business from my home office. I don’t take clients, show homes or sell any houses… my business model is systems based” All of these systems are not dependent on all star sales people. In fact, I manage my sales business from my home office. I don’t take clients, show homes or sell any houses. This is proof that my business model is systems based. My agents were all unlicensed when I recruited them to join my team. They learned my systems and now sell an average of 6 homes a month each. These agents didn’t have any specific sales training before getting licensed to sell real estate. They are successful because they are operating in a business with great marketing that delivers clients to them day after day. They also don’t have to prospect. Our sales letters deliver pre-sold clients to our door. Q10: All right, let’s get into some detail. Let’s go through the nitty- gritty of exactly how a person makes money in real estate using your strategies and methods. Let’s start with Step One: Minton: 1) Apply for and setup your merchant account so that you can collect income via credit card. 2) Run one of my magic advertisements 3) Mail my magic sales letters to prospects responding to my magic advertisement 4) Receive prospects application to become your client. 5) Have prospect come to your office and enroll them into your club. Charge their credit card so the money automatically appears in your bank account. 6) Sell new club members a home 7) Sell new club members another home. 8) Rinse and repeat. Q11: Next, I want to talk about The Phenomenon™, and your experiences with it - but first, let’s tell people how they can take a next step and learn more about everything you offer to help people succeed in real estate. Minton: First off, my Less Clients More Money™ System is not some $300 box of stuff. This is an exclusive working relationship and a complete turn-key System with ongoing support, so there’s a substantial fee involved. Bluntly, there is no point in responding if you are unable or unwilling to step up and make a serious investment. This is NOT like anything you’ve every seen discussed in real estate magazines or at seminars. Dan Kennedy and I actually reinvented the whole real estate sales business. We’ve quietly “pioneered” the System and started more than 75 Real Estate Professionals in their market areas. Now that the cat’s out of the bag to the entire industry in the Phenomenon™ program, the rest of the areas will be assigned quickly… and once their gone, that’s it! If interested, and you think your qualified, act immediately. See page 15 to get Rob’s lengthy, detailed FREE report: “How I Made $90,487 Selling 20 Homes to One Client in 12 Months” and get a FREE copy of Rob’s NEW book titled “Renegade Millionaire Strategies for Real Estate Agents.” Q12: Okay, let’s talk about The Phenomenon™. Give us some insight into your understanding of it and how you’ve applied it in your life. Minton: When you apply Dan’s strategy of massive action to your business, a point in time will come when you have more opportunity in 12 months then you did the previous 12 years. This 12 months is the Phenomenon™. The best part is that it can be planned and engineered in advance. In order to experience the Phenomenon™ a person must focus on a few key principles. You must eliminate any and all distractions, negative thinking and nay-sayers. People will tell you that you’re crazy. You must also be willing to do whatever it takes. This means working like crazy to spur the actual experience. The first step is doing the exact opposite of what everyone else in your industry is doing. We decided to stop working with sellers, taking listings and helping regular buyers. Everyone, including a few of my team members thought I was crazy. They didn’t think it would work. By letting these unproductive clients go, we instantly had more time to focus on attracting better clients. I studied our businesses income and found that 80% of our income was coming from just 20% of our clients. These clients were real estate investors. We simply decided to build our niche around our top most profitable clients. Most agents build their businesses around their bottom, least profitable clients. You must utilize the 80/20 Rule to experience the Phenomenon™. “The first step is doing the exact opposite of what everyone else in your industry is doing.” Q13: The theme of The Phenomenon™ film that you were a part of is - in the next 12 months.... getting more accomplished in the next 12 months than in the previous 12 years. You have lived it, and seen it, but for many people, this is going to be a difficult concept, possibility and goal to wrap their heads around. Using your strategies, capitalizing on the opportunities we’ve been talking about here, what could a person do in just the next 12 months? Minton: We created a club or exclusive membership for our investing clients. An agent launching our business model could very easily have 150 to 200 members in their own club. Our investor membership has 3 levels. The signature level which we charge the investor $29.95 a month. The VIP level which we charge the investor $99 a month and a Platinum level which we charge the investor $199 a month. In fact, their club membership should look something like this: • 150 total members in 12 months (this is only averaging 12.5 new members a month) •5 at the Platinum Level for an annual passive income of $11,940 • 15 at the VIP Level for an annual passive income of $5,940 • 130 at the Signature level for an annual passive income of $46,722 • The agent launching my business model would also charge each club member a $200 enrollment fee. This would generate an additional $30,000 of income. This means that the real estate agent would have created four new passive income streams providing $94,602. However, the most lucrative part of the club is the commissions earned on home sales to club members. 40% of our members buy one home. This would lead to 60 additional home sales over the course of the year. Depending on home prices in their marketplace, this could provide commissions anywhere from $270,000 (avg. commission of $4,500) to $525,000 (avg commission of $8,750). In addition, roughly 24% of our club members buy multiple homes. On average, this 24% buys 4 homes. This would lead to an additional 108 sales and bringing in anywhere from $486,000 to $945,000 in commissions. Accounting for all income opportunities above, the range of income available to an agent launching my Less Clients More Mone™ Business is $850,602 to $1,564,000 depending on their sale price and average commissions. Now these sales and income numbers are not guaranteed. These percentages are accurate for my real estate sales business. Their numbers may be higher or lower depending on which Systems they decide to implement. Q14: I’m sure you have some final ‘words of wisdom’..... Minton: The turnover in the real estate sales business is rumored to be around 80%. This means that for every 100 new agents that get their real estate license, 80 leave the business. I believe this turnover occurs because the majority of real estate agents copy a failed business model. When they get started, they copy what they see all the other agents doing. This means that they are copying failure. Copying failure will not lead to success. The reason agents fail is because they try to be everything to everyone. Agents go after and try to list every type of home, from starter homes, to trade up homes, to luxury homes. They solicit condo owners, apartment owners, waterfront homes, and even listings outside of their geographic market area. In addition, they do the same thing with home buyers, too. This does not give them any advantage over their competition. To be successful selling real estate, one must draw a line in the sand and build their business around one particular niche. They must turn away all other business and become the specialist for their niche. The absolute best niche is working with real estate investors because they buy multiple homes, not just one home. Remember, one of my clients bought 20 homes in 12 years. Others have bought 14 homes, 12 homes, 9 homes, etc. My words of wisdom are to niche and to pick a niche that provides you with the greatest lifetime client value. This is how you engineer the Phenomenon™ in your life. 10 Steps to Success Using Rob Minton’s Proven Real Estate Marketing Systems By Rob Minton – Millionaire Real Estate Agent Here are the 10 Steps you need to follow in order to experience “The Phenomenon™” in your real estate sales business. Keep in mind, these are the exact same steps I followed to create the Phenomenon™ in my own life and business. Each step is required, which means you can’t pick and choose. You must implement each and every one of them in your business. You’ll definitely be happy you did! STEP 1:You must select and target a niche. You cannot be successful trying to be everything to every client. You must set yourself apart from the competition. Select a target niche and build your entire business around your niche. You will be rewarded with better clients, more referrals, more free time and higher commissions. My niche is real estate investors because one client represents multiple sales. STEP 2: Become an expert Purposefully create the perception that you are the one and only expert to your selected niche. If you are perceived as the true expert, prospects will literally chase you down to be one of your clients. Expert positioning also allows you to completely control your schedule and increase your commission rates. You can easily create expert positioning by publishing articles, getting free publicity, giving speeches and writing your own book. STEP 5: Send a monthly newsletter to lock your clients to you for life I send my club members a 12 page newsletter each and every month. This newsletter is funny, entertaining and educational. They actually look forward to my newsletters. Read the chapter titled, “How to Profit from Your Monthly Newsletter” in my new book Renegade Millionaire Strategies for Real Estate Agents available at www. RenegadeMillionaireStrategies.com for more info. STEP 3: Write a book Write a book catered to prospects in your selected niche. Promote yourself as an author to your niche. This book will give you automatic “expert” status. You can self-publish your own book and eliminate the need for a real publisher. In fact, you can become a co-author of my book, “Income for Life” in just a few hours without having to go through all of the hard work to write your own book. For more information, visit: www. LessClientsMoreMoney.com STEP 6: Use long copy sales letters to compel prospects to become your clients I have several sales letters for my business. These sales letters deliver new clients to our door each and every week. These sales letters have completely eliminated the need to prospect for new business. My sales letters have generated millions of dollars of income. They don’t call in sick. They don’t complain. They are little money machines. Agent’s launching my Less Clients More Money™™ System get my million dollar sales letters for their business. Imagine no more cold calls, no more referral meetings, etc. STEP 4: Create an exclusive program/club for your clients 10 Create a club or membership for your clients. Your club would obviously be created around your selected niche. Clubs and their exclusive membership make your clients feel special. Study the AARP Membership and see how they turned their membership into several enormously profitable businesses. We have copied their business model in my Less Clients More Money™™ System. STEP 7: Create new passive income streams in your business If your business is entirely dependent on commissions, you’re in trouble. Build additional income streams into your business to protect yourself. I built several income streams into my real estate business, including a very lucrative passive income stream providing over $100,000 a year. STEP 8: Build your business around a future bank of sales Each home we sell today will bring two new future additional sales in two to three years. This simply means that we have designed our business to automatically double every two years. To engineer this into your business, you need to change your focus from getting more clients to expanding each client’s lifetime value. STEP 9: Hire a celebrity to endorse you and your business Our celebrity endorsement has helped attract new clients to our business. The endorsement gives us instant credibility in our prospects mind. In addition, it allows us to set ourselves further apart from our competition. Agents launching my Less Clients More Money™ System have get access to our celebrity endorsement for free! Visit: www. LessClientsMoreMoney.com STEP 10: Find and participate in a mastermind group Mastermind groups have helped me see major opportunities for my business. I highly recommend that you find and participate in high level mastermind groups. The saying is definitely true – “You are who you associate with…” 11 Special Report Why Specializing With Real Estate Investors Could Make You Wealthy B efore I summarize my niche, let me share some thoughts with you about the real estate business in general. As mentioned earlier, 80 percent of the new real estate professionals quit the business within the first year. That doesn’t count the agents who maintain their licenses but don’t sell any homes. Why do so many quit the business? They are tired, frustrated, burned-out and NOT MAKING ANY MONEY. With the recent market bubble, many more will, unfortunately, be forced out. Many real estate professionals have to start from scratch each month ... living commission check to commission check … always worrying about where the next sale is going to come from. You know that feeling. Hoping that your listing sells or that your buyer doesn’t find a nice “For sale by owner” home and cut you out of the transaction. In my area, approximately 48 percent of the homes listed for sale do not sell the first time they are listed. You and I know the reason why – overpriced homes. If you play the listing game, you kill yourself to get the listing. You spend your time advertising and promoting the home and 50 percent of the time, you don’t get paid. There were many times when I would list a seller’s home and then spend my weekends showing that seller homes to move into, only to lose both sales because the seller’s home never actually sold. Two potential sales became NO sales. This was pretty painful for me both in lost income and time. I hope this hasn’t happened to you, too! If you don’t have a steady stream of sales coming to you, you do NOT have a business. You have a job with no guarantee of a paycheck – the worst kind of job! If you want to avoid, possibly even eliminate, the frustration and burnout that send 80 percent of 12 new agents out of the business and the remaining agents suffering in agony, there’s a very simple requirement: You have to somehow steady the “income ship.” That means you must end roller-coaster income. You must end anxiety. Replace anxiety with certainty. And you must regain control of your time and your life. Everyone talks about this, but most real estate professionals shrug it off as hopeless. A silly pipe dream. They resign themselves to long, long hours working seven days a week, fighting for every piece of business, putting a lot of time into a listing then losing the commission because the home doesn’t sell. In fact, many agents are literally living in fear – the fear of losing a client if they don’t leap up and answer their cell phone anytime it rings, morning, noon or night, dinner time, wherever, whenever. If a buyer client wants to see homes on Saturday and it’s your child’s birthday party, you are fearful that they will find another agent if you say no. This, you believe, is simply how it has to be. The nature of business. Many spend as much time apologizing to their spouse, son, daughter and friends for missing or being late to ball games, school plays, birthday parties, even wedding anniversaries as they do selling homes! Every time they have to “take this call,” they shake their head sadly and say “it’s just the way my business works.” www.RenegadeMillionaireStrategies.com Copyright 2007 ©. Rob Minton.

The Renegade Millionaire Strategies For Real Estate Agents Book is available Success Stories ”I have come to realize with your system is the consistent and predictable results I am getting from my marketing investment. At this point, for every 100 leads I generate, between six and seven people will apply to become one of my clients , and of those people, I sign 95 percent to a one- year buyer’s agency contract. That means mathematically for every 100 leads I generate, I will sign up between 5 and 6 new members. Like you, I charge an enrollment fee and first month’s dues when I sign up a member, so each of those new members represents $228.95 in income the day I sign them up. My goal this year is to sign five new members a week every week. That means even if I do not sell a home but I do reach my member goals, I will generate $54,948 this year in new member fees alone. I also know based on last year’s numbers that each new member I sign up represents nearly $2,500 in future income. Therefore, the 240 new members I hope to sign this year will represent nearly $600,000 in income in both commission and membership fees. That is why I feel that you have reduced real estate to a math equation: If I want to make X dollars this year all I need to do is work backwards and figure how many leads I need to generate to hit that number. Then, it is simply a mathematical certainty. I can’t thank you enough. You have already brought me Income for Life. “ Matt Shreves St. Louis, MO “We were brand new to real estate when we launched Rob’s Less Clients More Money™ System. Our licenses are with a large brokerage in Toronto. It is funny because many agents in our office started to ask us what we were doing because we have prospects stopping by the office asking to be in our investor membership. These prospects are chasing us, wanting to be accepted as one of our clients while the other agents are sitting around with nothing to do. Our receptionist is completely confused by what we have started. She has never had prospects stopping into the office, chasing agents in our office. Most of the people in the office we work in are kind of scratching their heads trying to figure out how these new guys are getting so much business. Needless to say, Rob’s marketing really does work. Prospects will begin chasing you. I didn’t really believe it would happen, but it is and our new business is booming. We are now at the six month point since launching your program and things are going crazy for us! In the past few days, we have had a new member buy two properties right out of the gates, another member just bought their second property two months after buying their first, another member is also purchasing his second property, too. This doesn’t even count all of our members purchasing their first properties with us! All of these purchases have been in the price range of $195K to 290K. We are now generating monthly commission income in excess of $30,000 and we just got started!” Tom & Nick Karadza Toronto, Canada “I just wanted to give you an update on my progress here… I’m astounded at the quality of applicants so far. Of the people I have interviewed, I declined one couple but everyone else has been well-qualified and ready to go. The enrollment meetings are slamdunk easy so far and work brilliantly. The materials provided at member enrollment work like magic. And, most importantly, my new members are buying! Of my first three members (signed up within the last 2 weeks) I already have earnest deposits on 8 properties worth more than $2,000,000. Because of some seller agent incentives, I am on schedule to receive commissions totaling more than $95,000 FROM JUST 2 BUYERS! The other of my first three members is from out of State and is flying out to meet me later this month with the expectation of acquiring 3 homes. I’ll be more excited as escrow starts closing, but I’m flat out stoked with how easy this has been so far. My old way could deliver the same returns, but not with much ease. I’m not kidding when I say I have invested a grand total of less than 10 hours so far with these two investors. Thanks!” Matt Harward Phoenix, Arizona 13 “All I can say is the Income for Life System for Realtors has been a Godsend. Before, I really had no idea how to differentiate myself from ‘other’ Realtors… I was just another one in a crowded sea. But now, I actually feel like I have an unfair advantage. In fact, I believe I will totally dominate my market in the next 6 months. Here’s the best part, Rob has hooked up with one of the best marketing minds in the world, Dan Kennedy, to create advertising that positions me completely differently from the average Realtor. Now, clients seek me out instead of the other way around. Not only that, but I feel like Rob and Dan are right there by my side, guiding me every step of the way, and preventing me from going through the school of hard knocks. In fact, in Rob’s latest weekly fax, he gave me an idea that stunned me. That one idea alone will catapult the number of new clients I 14 get through the roof. The best part is it won’t cost me a cent. It’s all part of the value-added association with Rob and Dan that this system provides. I don’t feel like I’m alone anymore. And I feel like it has taken about 5 years off of the time it would have taken for me to become successful. The immediate result is my income has jumped dramatically. From zero sales to over $60,000 in gross commissions in the first 3 months I started implementing everything I learned. I still spend a lot of time growing this business, but now, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. In less than one year’s time I can see this business on autopilot, me and my wife taking 3 months out of the year on vacation, and pulling in a high six-figure income.” Harry Johnson, Jr. Miami, Florida Stop Struggling To Get Clients… Stop Working Yourself To Death and Get On Your Way To Making More In 12 Months Than You Have In The Last 12 Years Let me send you a lengthy, detailed FREE report: “How I Made $90,487 Selling 20 Homes to One Client in 12 Months”, which tells my whole story and… How I get people to apply to become clients How I have over 400 clients locked to me and buying multiple properties, so I have guaranteed monthly income; How I operate never doing listing appointments, open houses, etc.; How I train my clients to work with me on my terms.
