Where's everybody from tonight? Let's see. Any names that I recognize from Texas? I know a lot of y'all are looking at Nevada, Chicago. Oh my gosh. Tim, I went to Chicago earlier this year for the first time, and, oh my goodness, it it's now one of my favorite cities. Period. It is such a beautiful place. I mean well, as you know, my Rick, my husband, is, was raised in Chicago, and he he has always wanted to go back to Chicago. Unfortunately, when we first first got together and we, I went to Chicago for the very first time, it was, like, negative seventeen. And I said never again. It was ridiculously cold. I was like, there's no way. I'm like, how do but we do go visit, quite a bit. We've we've gone on here for the past thirty years, and, we love the city. It's a beautiful city. Just, I love Atlanta. Yeah. Atlanta. Oh my gosh. I love Atlanta. We, we've got some really dear friends that that live out there and, just such a gorgeous place. I've never been to Atlanta. Goodness. Oh, it's fantastic. Really gorgeous. Like, just topography is beautiful. Also, I mean, that's where they filmed The Walking Dead, right outside of Atlanta. So that was the real reason we were there. Right. Yeah. So thank you so much for joining us, everybody, and, we are here to walk you through the the marketing. And so, my name is Shay Cotter. I'm the broker here in Texas, and I'm the regional director for the sort of southern states. I'm really glad you're here. And with me is I'll take one of her tickets. Yes. Kathy Trevino. I am just I just got appointed for the Oklahoma brokerage broker. And so I'm also here on the brokerage team with with Texas, always available to answer questions as well for Texas agents. I was the managing broker for a short time for Texas, and then we got our fabulous Shay. He's just amazing. So I'm just glad to be here today, and, this is one of our last classes for the Connect two point o marathon here that we've been doing for the last two weeks. We do have, tomorrow morning, we have, the brokerage circles. And so you can come and join us in the morning. First thing, grab your coffee and, meet your broker, and we're gonna go over some of the circles and things, that you can do and how you can find brokers and and, in other states as well. So it's gonna be a really good class to end up with. And then, of course, we have our first Fridays, with Lewis and Matt. So, hopefully, you all can join us tomorrow morning for those two sessions. And then, of course, reach out to all of us for any questions that you may have when it comes to all of the new classes and everything that we have. So very, very excited to for us to be the last. We're we're bringing the the, the end you know, bringing it home for you guys with marketing. So I'm going to share my screen, if that's okay, because, we as as leaders in in the in the admin side, ours our our connects are a little bit different. And so I'm gonna I'm gonna, log in as my husband because he is an agent, and I'll be able to share more so of the tools that you you all can use and how to navigate through those. So I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen and hopefully get this. There's my wonder my little my little man. That's my grandbaby. Mateo. Let me move this around. And, Shay, if you can watch out for the chat, so if we have any questions or anything else Absolutely. Okay. So once we get in this screen like this, I can't see. So Do that. As you can see, we're now into the new Connect two point o. We have this fabulous system. If you haven't been in here and started playing around, you definitely wanna do that. Most of you already have by now, but for those who may be new to LPT and to our new systems, just know that, this is how the new system actually looks and where where your landing page will be. The first thing that you definitely wanna do is go in and make sure that, down here where where Rick's face is here, you wanna drop down. Go to your account here, and you can view view either view your profile and you can edit your profile. When you view your profile, this is what other agents and and, the community is going to see about you. And so, you know, this is this is this is what they're going to see. So when you click on your name here, this is what what other agents will see. So you wanna definitely make sure sure that you go in, put your bio in there, upload your photo and your back, I I don't the cover photo here. This one he used his his, what do you call that? The, commercial The billboard? Billboard. And it worked out really well because it has you know, it's long. But you can utilize any photo that you have there and, make sure that's the right dimensions, and that will come up. The other thing that I wanna make sure that you're doing is in your bio, make sure that you're u utilizing tag words and keywords so that when agents go into their circles and try to search for other agents, in other cities, if they're looking for referrals and things like that. If they type in specific words into, the search field here, then your name will come up. So let's just say you type in commercial. All the agents that have have commercial in their bio or somewhere in there that's they're tagged to will come up. And you can you can see there's some from from Pennsylvania and different areas, and so you could see all the results. And then you can go in if you're looking for a specific city, and you can connect with those people. So it's really important to make sure that you have your bio, filled out and that you have specific tag words in there. The rest of that, I'm gonna go into, you wanna go in and you want to edit your profile. And this is this is where you wanna make sure that all of your information is filled out correctly. Another way that you can go in for your marketing is if you go into the biz, the biz generated the biz gen, you can also go into LPT marketing here. And this is this is a, the platform where every where you will be able to see a lot of the different training. There's all kinds of videos in here, instructional training, just a lot of different articles that you can go in and take a look at that will help you to maneuver through all of the LPT systems that we have, like listing power tools, a live training, things like that. There's just a lot of different things in here. So I would definitely make sure that you go in and play around with it. You're not gonna break it. Go in. Click away. Figure out what works, what you know, it's. And this is another way for us to find out if things are working or not working. Because, like, in my site, for some reason, some of the things when I click on things, it it won't let me go to the next screen or something. And so I've been submitting tickets, and our our support staff has been amazing communicating and getting back to us. Mhmm. Making sure Yeah. Making sure that everything is working very, very smoothly. We one of the things that was not working for me for for both me and for Rick was our marketing websites. So if you all if you're not aware, you have every agent gets a website, and it's a great recruiting opportunity for you as well. I think I have Rick's I might have Rick's up here. Not really sure if I already it might have taken it out. But it's, so this one right here is your marketing website. It's your first name, last name dot l p t dot com. If you if you type in your first name, last name dot l p t dot com, it'll take you to your personal website. This website is an is an amazing marketing tool for you to be able to go out and start recruiting. Talking to if you're talking to an agent who's thinking about joining our team, your team, our firm, your downline, whatever it may be, or just interested in, working with LPT, this this site is branded with your information, and you can send this out. It talks about LPT and everything you need to know about the company. The coolest thing about it is that we now have this join now button here. So when you if you have someone someone that you spoke to and they're ready to join under you and and you're going to be their sponsor, you can send them your link, have them join now, and this actually takes you to the, the page where they all they have to do is say, hey. I'm ready to get started. They go in, they get started, and they start filling out the each each form. Just go to the next form, and it basically sends this all to our onboarding team. And then our onboarding team will do, the paperwork, and it all goes out to them. And it's all done simultaneously in the background. So you're not having to go in and, you know, figure out, like, who do I send things to? Where do I go for different things if I need to hire if somebody wants to come on a board with us and all of that. That. So it's really cool. So wanted to share that with you if you weren't aware of that, that that's one of your marketing tools that you have available for you. And it's just an amazing feature that I I don't know of another brokerage that actually offers something like that for you. No. No. It's pretty cool. And just and it's pretty easy. First name, last name dot l p t dot com. So pretty cool. So what I definitely wanna make sure you you all know is, like I mentioned, the most important thing of the of of everything this this last two weeks that we've been talking about is making sure that your your information in your on your on your profile is all filled out. So you can edit your profile. The other thing that I wanted to share with you real quick because I thought I didn't know this. Let me just when you view your profile, I wanted to share this with you. If you're not aware, if you click on your name right here, it also has a link. When you click on your name, like I mentioned earlier, it's gonna show your bio and everything. But it also shows how many how many tokens you have. So as you all know with the circles that we're creating within LPT, the connections here, you can go and connect these, and these are meaningful connections. So these are, you know, you they can be replaced as well. I believe it's you get every every month, you get five. I'm not really sure on that. But, you you know, you will be able to add them. You can earn your your tokens. So the but this will tell you how many tokens you have. The other thing that if you're part of a of a team, if you're a team lead, then, it will share with you. You're automatically connected with everyone in your team. So it'll so or if you if someone comes down on your downline and they're not necessarily a team, but they're just, an agent on you know, under you as your as your spa your you as their sponsor, it'll show up under you as well. So then you'll see all the people that you've had in your downline as you know? So that that way, if you're, you know, you don't have to to I'm not gonna say waste, or you you don't have to use one of your tokens to go reach out to one of your own, friends that may you brought into LPT. So just wanted to share that with you. So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna go back into bizgen and go into LPT marketing here, and it takes you to this. Like I mentioned, here's where you'll be able to get a lot of your training and all of that. There's also you can you know, the next steps that you wanna start taking is all on the left side. This is where all of your marketing is going to be so you can utilize the tools that we have available for you. Like I mentioned, you wanna go in. You wanna and you're gonna have to, you know, go through these steps to make sure that you it'll take you to the next one. So you'll fill out all your information. Make sure that everything is filled out in order for you to go to the next step. This is where you would put your short bio. You just copy and paste wherever you have that. Make sure your city and state is in there. You'll go to next steps. Your photos, if you don't have one already uploaded, this is where you would wanna, submit your photo and upload your photo, and then as well as your cover photo. Rick's already done that. Then you're gonna go in, make sure you have a credit card on file so that that way, when you do order your supplies, and all your marketing, if there is a cost for that, you know, you you would that would automatically, be there for you so you don't have to put it in there every single time. Then you're gonna go in through the business cards. You can go in. You have a a variety of selection on on the right hand side to decide which type of business card you would like to select. And then you wanna make sure that your photo is positioned accordingly as well. If you're you know, you don't wanna have your head chopped off or the bottom, so you wanna, make sure that it's positioned appropriately, once you find the color and all of the things that you've already selected. So you can you can change the colors, which I think is amazing. Alright? And then you'll go to the next step. He's already done. Timothy? K. We've got a question in the chat that I was, unable to find the screenshot. I was looking for it. The the setup that you were going through a few steps back I'm so sorry. Let me let me go back to where it was. Profile? It was in in the profile, I think, Michael. So for for your profile, you can either view your profile or you could edit your profile. When you go to edit your profile, it's gonna take you here. If you view your profile, this goes to what, the community is going to see about you. Then on here, this is where you able to click on your name and then see how Oh, he was talking about the the the marketing website. Okay. So for the marketing website, you're gonna go to edit your profile, and that's where There it is. Edit your profile. And then then you're gonna just fill out you're basically gonna go down the steps here. That's what I was you know, just each one go to next next next next. And then as you as you go, you know, and you're filling them all out, and you go to the next step, you'll see a little check mark saying that it's been completed. Great. K? Once that step has been completed, then you can go to the next step. If you're if for some reason you're, you can't move because that's what was happening to me, it just wouldn't take my credit card or wouldn't it would just everything was filled out, but it just didn't I couldn't get to the next step, and it wouldn't do anything. Then at that point, I would definitely say this is when you wanna submit a ticket. And for those of you, to submit a ticket, it's pretty easy. You have this little, support drop down right here, and you'll just go to to create a new ticket. When you create a new ticket, you'll just say start a new ticket. You'll have to choose, what type of I always just you know, a lot of times, if it's general, I just do a general and then hit continue, then you'll fill out your your information. This is something that I actually called Shay on yesterday. I was, like, trying to get a ticket submitted, and then for some reason, I'm like, it's not taking my ticket. You do have to choose what then for some reason, I'm like, it's not taking my ticket. You do have to choose one, whether it's email, text, or phone call, and how you would like to be contacted. I didn't do that, and now my ticket wasn't going through. And I'm like, why isn't it not going through? So this is how you submit a ticket. Okay? And one thing we've we've had questions about, you know, what if I can't get into Connect? How can I report the ticket? Just send an email to two point o at l p t realty dot com. Yeah. Two point o at l p t realty dot com. So those are what It'll create that ticket. Yeah. With an email, what makes it really, really easy. Mhmm. So so I'm gonna go back into the biz gen and then LPT marketing. Okay? And this is where we were. And so once you start, you know, doing your your your your marketing profile, all of those things will check off. And then, you can continue to, Desi. And so it'll take you to Desi and then the same thing. This is really cool because then you can go in and you can see all of your pro your your proofs of your your business cards, your marketing plan, your nine critical questions, all of these things. And it makes it really nice because you can go in, and if you wanna change it, you can, before they before you order anything. You have your marketing plan. I'm not gonna click them all, but there's they're all here for you so that you could just see that, you know, their your your new your your profile and everything is correct. Your phone numbers are right. Your photo is is is looks good. It's not your head's not being cut off or anything like that. It's centered. All of those things. So you definitely wanna go through and check all of these to make sure. So we've already done that. You know, there's all of the all of the, the billboard, your yard signs, open house signs. All of those things are are are are what you get and what are available for you just at a click of a button. So make sure that you're going through and utilizing the tools so that that way when you get your your boxes and when you start ordering everything, you're getting what you need, and it's in the color the right colors, and everything is correct. So this is something that you definitely wanna make sure that you're you're looking at. The the one of the other things that I really, really liked about here is I'm gonna skip down here to the social downloads. You have social media graphics. These are really cool because these are all, you know, graphics that you can download and you can utilize on social media. You have your business cards, your marketing plan, the billboard. This is where I went and downloaded, we went downloaded Rick's, billboard, and we're we're able to use that as one of his photos on his cover photo. You have your yard signs, so you can utilize these on the marketing that you're maybe doing. Nine critical questions. There's social media. These right here, the social media ones are really cool because they they're they're constantly changing these two. So these they they have some updated ones like this one right here. You can click on it. It's really cool. You can save it, and this just talks about our expansion. So you everybody should go out, toot that horn. Hey. We're expanding. We're LPT, and we are nationwide. So I'm suit not I'm sure, not too long from now, we're gonna be able to say we're global. So we're definitely going international, and that's gonna be a huge, huge, step there. So very excited about that. But go through and look at these. There's some amazing graphics in here for you. If you've just joined LPT, there's, information about that that you can go out there and post on your on your social sites and things and things as well to make sure that, you're getting your message out there, that you're you're proud to be a part of the LPT family. And, so these are all all this right here basically is all designed in DESE. And so you definitely wanna make sure that you're, filling out your profile and checking all those boxes so that you can go through Hey, Kathy. Can I can I highlight something for a second? Excuse me. Back in the agent marketing, one of the things I really love is once you put all of the the colors together and you're going through all those materials and you go to the agent essentials I'm sorry. The the agent power packs. This is where you can order those buyer power packs that we talk about with all the Ascend training. And this is such an incredible tool, and you can get it for ninety nine dollars right now. It's think of it like this equips you to walk in to meet a buyer the same way that the listing pack equips you to walk in and and talk to a seller. And it's so easy to order right here because of the components have already been built in through all those other things you've already approved, and you just click of a button again. Just order them. Check them out. It's truly amazing. I had an interview just yesterday with an agent, and, I was sharing her all of this. And we and Rick had had has already ordered his his BBA, pack, and and, you know, of course, he has his listing packs and things like that. And I was sharing with him. She's like, oh my god. This is like a no brainer. Like, how can you not? You know? I mean and she this is a seventeen, year broker, you know, who's who's who's coming over is coming. And and and seeing this, she's like, this is just it's a no brainer. You know? It's like, I can't compete as a broker, as a competitor, you know, so I will I can't beat you. I'm gonna be I was a broker owner before, you know, and and that's why I ended up kind of along the same journey because you get so much value. Exactly. And it's all done for you, literally, and you just have to fill out your profile and make sure that it you select the colors. It can't be any easier. It really is. So this is where or you would go to, like like Shay had said, you're gonna, go into the agent power packs, and this is where you're gonna go in and order your all of your essential, tools that you need here. There's there's, open houses, available for open houses, reserved open houses. There's all kinds of different types of, property collateral as well here. Like I mentioned, the social downloads, you can go back. You can actually look at your order history. I'm not sure if it's pulling everything because I know he's ordered a lot more stuff from that. But, it it you know, there you'll be able to see, once you start ordering everything, you can go back and you can take a look at your at your at your history and all of those things. So this is where your where where where it all happens. This is where you're gonna go to get your, your your tools and, everything that you need to help you market yourself. Get out there and empty out the box. The cool thing about it is, like I mentioned earlier, when you go into, LPT, when you actually go into the LPT marketing through here, there's training classes in here. We're always doing training on how to empty the box. Mhmm. And the the one of the things that I I really love about this new the new circles that we have made is that if you have, you know, things left over for collateral that you didn't use, maybe your home sold faster and then you were able to, get all your marketing out, we we you can go in there and and type in there, hey. You know, what do y'all do? Give me some suggestions on how to finish emptying out my box. And you're gonna have information coming from all over from, the nation, from different agents that are creative and utilizing the marketing in different ways that you may not have even thought about.

We're gonna continue to bring you more and more training every single month and week, so that that way you guys are equipped with everything you need to get out there and really have an amazing year. So do you wanna have you have anything to add, Shay? No. I feel like, you know, I've learned so much. So thank you. Absolutely. You know, like I mentioned earlier, the main thing you wanna do is get in here and fill out your profile, do all your marketing profile, go in there and start clicking around because there's so many things that you can you'll find that, hey. You didn't even think it was there. And Yeah. You know, that's just the way you're gonna learn any new system. And, it's this this isn't a they thought of a lot of different ways for us to be able to have everything in one place. And, I know that it's we're still working out some of the bugs, but they are doing an amazing job in going in there and correcting them as quickly as they possibly can. So please make sure that if you have questions that you go in there and you ask, or you let us know if you're having issues so that we can make sure that we get your issues resolved. Alright. Yeah. Absolutely, Kathy. Great training. Let's see. The other day, I tried to get to an order for a couple of products to get in one shipping, but I couldn't. Any suggestions? Was it did it seem like it was a bug, or how is it acting? How is it responding? You might wanna send a ticket in, or just send an email to, two point zero at LPT Realty dot com. They might be able to look further into it and find out what the issue was. Otherwise, I'm not sure what department that would be. Yeah. And when you when you submit a ticket, the best way if you if you're not sure of of what department it will be or anything, just submit a ticket. And the coolest thing is that they will put they will hand it to the right department. So when a ticket comes in, we have a whole team of people that are working in the back end, and they will make sure that the right it goes to the right department so that that way your ticket dressed appropriately. So sometimes, like I said, I was Absolutely. And so that way, it just goes to the general mailbox, and then we have people in the back end that are gonna analyze the question and then get it to the right department. So Yeah. And it happens quickly. Mhmm. They're doing an amazing job. One order for each product. I couldn't add I couldn't add more products in one. Yeah. That, yeah, that might be a bug. That might be a glitch. I would send that to the two point zero. And I think you do have to I think at this particular point, you do have to order them like, your listing power pack will have to be ordered, and then you have to go back in and order your your BBA or whatever it may be. I don't think you can go and say this is what my order is. I don't think they can do that as of right now, but I'm sure that that is something that Okay. Okay? Alright.
