20 ©2023 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 STEP 2: Plan Your Seminar STEP 7: Prospect and Market Between Events Virtual Seminars Use the recording to create highlight clips that can be shared on social media. Choose 10-30 second segments that demonstrate your ability to engage the audience without sharing every detail. You want to provide just enough to pique the interest of a future potential client or seminar attendee. This is easier than you might think: 1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal. In the navigation menu, click Recordings. 2. Click the meeting topic for the session that you want to trim, then click the thumbnail of the video. 3. Click Trim. Use the blue sliders to specify the start time and the end time for the trimmed recording. This means that the blue highlighted area will be the trimmed recording, then click Trim to confirm. 4. In the Zoom web portal, where the individual recording is located, click "copy shareable link" to share the trimmed recording with others. The value of your seminar continues even after the event, but only if you choose to use the content for prospecting and marketing. Use video clips and images to promote your brand as a market expert between seminars and as a funnel to attract more people to your next seminar. In-Person Seminars In-person seminars can create great photo opportunities that can similarly be leveraged on your social media and in your print advertising. Have a member of your team or someone you know take flattering photos that position you as an authority leading the seminar and capture 10-30 second bursts of brilliance as video. Create social posts highlighting the value you bring to clients with the photo reel. Whether you’re hosting virtually or in-person, you can continuously market your seminars. Perhaps add a short blurb to your email signatures and listing and buyer packets, put a QR code on your listing signs, and put the link on the back of your business cards.

Oct. 2023 Welcome To The Social Media Playbook On the 13th anniversary of Facebook, Mark Zuckerburg published an open note to all users saying “There are many of us who stand for bringing people together and connecting the world." If that was his intent it is hard to argue with the premise and the success that social media providers have had. According to PEW Research, roughly 69% of adults use Facebook; a similarly high percentage use it daily. As the old saying goes, it’s easier to go where the people are than to make the people come to you. WARNING!

The chart above makes it clear that social media allows us to scale a message, at little to no cost, directly into the feeds of our sphere of influence like never before in marketing and advertising history. Further, if done with the intention to scale likeability, we can be more likable, to more people, more often. This is important because people do business with people they like, thus making social media one of the most powerful tools you can use to deeply connect with your sphere of influence. This playbook is designed to help you turn social media into your SOI secret weapon! Reach According to United Nations research, 59.3% of the total world population uses social media. In the United States, 82% of the population uses social media. Social posts and paid ads on social media provide you with one of the greatest opportunities to expand your database. Targeted Advertising Most social media platforms offer targeted advertising. As an agent this means you can promote your brand and your listings to potential clients who are most likely to respond. Promote listings on a golf course to golf enthusiasts and the loft downtown near the theater district to musicals aficionado. Advertising on social media has some of the lowest costs per lead and it easy to track the results of your campaigns and posts. Return on Investment Social media platforms create the opportunity to interact with their audience and build relationships at scale. Engagement The 4 Primary Reasons We Love Social Media For S.O.I. 1 2 4 3

6 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 Step 1: Post to Social Media Posting to Social Media is an easy way to stay top of mind and engage with your sphere of influence. Remember, people do business with people they like and social media allows us to be likeable with more people more often than ever before. The acronym that we use to explain the types of posts that will make you more likeable over time is LIKE. Keeping LIKE top of mind and using technology to schedule posts, posting to social media will be efficient and effective. 1. Use the LIKE Model to Create Content Local Lowdown Information Know Me Engage in conversation Local Lowdown Posting about your local community shows that you’re actively involved and knowledgeable about where you live and work. Examples of local community content could be: 1. The history of your town or area 2. Upcoming community events 3. School events or calendar 4. Community service activities 5. Interviews of prominent community members 6. School or college sports games and scores
7 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 1. Post to Social Media Information Examples of real estate content could be: 1. Market updates about your area 2. Industry news 3. Tips for buying or selling 4. Myths about the real estate industry Sharing your real estate knowledge should make your followers more informed and educated whether you’re posting about the market or your business. If you’re posting about the market or industry, the information should be easy to understand. Use short videos and graphics to easily grab their attention. 5. Top reasons your service is important 6. Upcoming seminars or client events you are hosting 7. New listings or open houses 8. Client success stories or closings
8 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 1. Post to Social Media Know Me Examples of personal content about you could be: 1. Hobbies: Share what you love doing outside of work. Do you love to watch musicals or play tennis? 2. Travels: Post about trips you’ve taken or want to take. 3. Books and Music: Post about a book you’ve just read or a new favorite playlist. 4. Gratitude: Post about what you’re grateful for. 5. Quotes and memes: Share quotes you find inspiring and memes that make you laugh. Be sure your memes and quotes are universally relatable, your goal is likeability! 6. Holidays: Make holiday posts all year round. Posting about your life as an individual person and not just a real estate agent allows your SOI to get to know you better and feel they can relate to you more. You don’t have to post deeply personal information about you or your life, rather post about your hobbies and interests. Use your personal posts to encourage interactions and deepen relationships.
9 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 1. Post to Social Media The beauty of posting to social media is that you can not only post to your feed, but you can post to stories or reels, post videos, easily create polls and get really creative with your content! Use Designs in Command to create or use marketing materials. Engage 1. Take Polls: Take a poll on favorite house styles, designs, pie versus cake! 2. Ask Questions: Ask simple questions like what kind of dogs your followers have or their favorite candy. 3. Host Competitions: Host a competition and pick a winner. 4. Do Giveaways: Get follower participation by doing a giveaway. When it comes to emotional proximity, a one way conversation is good, but a two way conversation is infinitely better. When people are encouraged to engage and share their ideas, photos, opinions, and beliefs, it allows them to feel heard and like they’re contributing to the conversation. Your job is to provide the conversation starters and ask for their participation.
10 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 1. Post to Social Media 2. Schedule Posts Easily schedule holiday posts a year in advance or other thematic posts like quotes or memes a month in advance. In addition to scheduling posts, you can easily leverage posting across multiple social media platforms in Command or using another third party site. Create more time for yourself by scheduling social posts to your business page in advance. Reference Tech Play #15, #17, and #19 to learn more about how you can use technology in this section. Posting to social media doesn’t need to be overwhelming or difficult. Simply use the LIKE model and schedule your posts in advance! Give yourself a running start to engaging your SOI on social media by using the KW Calendar of Social Posts. Post 10 times per week
11 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 You don’t need to create new posts with new messages, you are specifically targeting your database with the same posts. Note: In order for database targeting to work effectively, ensure that the contacts you plan to target in your database have a valid phone number and/or an email address saved to their contact record. Campaigns will use the primary phone number you have added to their contact record (preferably their mobile phone), or the primary email address to try and match the recipient's profile within Facebook/Instagram. Reference Tech Play #20 to learn more about how you can use technology in this section. 1. Target My Database Staying in front of your database ensures that you are the agent they think of when buying, selling, or referring! Step 2: Run Paid Social Ads It’s important to understand that when you make a post on social media, it doesn’t mean that everyone you are friends with will see the post. Social media companies use an algorithm to decide which users see what posts at certain times. You need to make a decision to help your followers see your posts by engaging your SOI via social media ads. With Command’s integration with Facebook and Instagram, you can run ads that specifically target people in your database at an exceptionally low cost. This is done using the “Target My Database” feature in Campaigns in Command. Targeting your database is a creative way to stay top of mind and promote your business. Targeting your database is done by creating an audience of contacts based on the contact tags that have been added to their contact record and/or the neighborhoods associated with the contacts. Examples of personal content about you could be: 1. Specific neighborhoods or zip codes 2. Clients with kids or pets 3. Hobbies (golf or tennis) 4. Clients that have referred business 5. Clients that have bought and sold more than once
12 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 Interact with 75 people per week Step 3: Interact With Friends and Followers 1. Comment When commenting on a friend's post or story, it’s important to be genuine and show interest. Reciprocally, you should always respond to comments from friends on your posts. Commenting does not mean arguing or correcting, rather you are deepening relationships. Curating LIKE content is the first step in connecting with people. The next step is interacting with your friends and followers. Not only do you have to post captivating content, you also need to engage with your friends and followers to get the most out of social media. By interacting with your friends and followers you are showing them that you care. You are showing them that you take the time to be involved in their lives and demonstrating interest in their posts. Think of a “comment'' like a virtual hug and “likes” as high-fives. 2. Direct Message (DMs) DMs can also be a really valuable social media tool. Choose a few people a week to DM and ask about something they’ve recently posted or just check in. This is an easy way to get your contacts in! 3. Like and Share In combination with commenting, like and share your followers posts. While it seems like a small thing, you are putting yourself top of mind again when they get a notification. Hi (client name)! I just saw that you (insert life event). I wanted to congratulate you! This is so exciting! What's next for you? "Hi (client name)! I just saw that (insert life event). I am so so sorry to learn of this. Is there anything I can do to help or someone I can connect you with?" or

Follow New People The easiest way to build your SOI through social media is to follow new people and accept follow requests. As your influence grows on social media, more people will request to follow you as well. Step 4: Add New Friends Examples of personal content about you could be: 1.

14 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Rev. Oct. 2023 When you start the community, you may be the only one posting and engaging with members. As you go, you may add admin and moderators to help you. These are people you trust to keep the conversation going, ensure posts are appropriate to the group, and share your vision and values. They can be people in your world or leaders that show up within the group. Follow steps #1 through #4 above with your community the same way you would personally. Step 5: Create and Curate an Online Community 1. Create a Niche Facebook Group You can create a community for anything: an online book club, small business owners in your city, or a cause you’re passionate about. Up to this point, you’ve been making posts through your personal social media profiles that have been seen by your friends and followers. This undoubtedly will keep you top of mind and move you closer to emotional proximity with your SOI. If you are looking for a way to engage a larger number of people and draw new people into your SOI then creating and curating an online community is your next step. Currently you’re connected with people online because they are interested in you and your life and vice versa. With an online community, people would be there because they are interested in either a topic, a location, or a movement/cause. In this case, the connective tissue of the community is why they are there and you are the proctor of the community. 1. Know your purpose and ensure it’s in alignment with your values Your community should represent something you’re passionate about. 2. The name must clearly represent your purpose Choose a name that shows potential members exactly what your group is. A good example is “Girls LOVE Travel.” This is a Facebook group where female travelers share their stories and travel tips. 3. Find your voice Be authentic in your posts and engagements within the group. Be yourself, be honest, and interact with community members the same way you would your friends and clients. 4. Post consistently Establish yourself as the leader of the community with daily posts and comments on posts made by community members. Time block weekly to schedule your posts for the week and daily for replying to comments and commenting on posts in the community feed. 5. Show value Post content that is relevant to your purpose and encourages engagement. Your primary job is to start conversations and keep engagement high by interacting with community members. 6. Be responsive The members need to feel valued and you need to respond to their thoughts, questions, and comments in a timely fashion. 7. Have a plan You don’t need to always plan what you’re going to post, but you need to make your calendar match your goals. Determine how many times you will post weekly, what some of your content will focus on, and how many people you should be interacting with. There are 7 things to consider when starting a community:

3 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. rev: 10/27/23 Welcome to the Teamerage Playbook Teamerage is the system that gives you a winning strategy to make sure there's NO broke in your brokerage. It's the best answer to the pivotal industry question of "what do real estate agents want most?" Polling conducted by both NAR and Bane & Company, Inc. asked agents “what is the one thing you would like most from your brokerage or team”, the overwhelming answer: leads and appointments. The real estate brokerage industry has a tradition of providing leads to agents. In the 70's & 80's real estate brokerages ran ads to generate leads for their agents. In the 80’s and 90’s relocation divisions owned by large brokerages were pivotal parts of their value to agents. In the early 2000’s the industry watched as teams, aggregators, and technology companies became the dominant channels by which agents received direct leads to consumers. Brokerages became serverages. And as services became offered a la carte, they turned into potential commodities. Today, more than anything else, real estate agents want easier access to consumers and are more than willing and happy to partner with their brokerages to receive leads and appointments. The most successful and profitable brokerages will be Market Centers that not only continue to provide the broker services, training, support, work environment, community, culture, and profit share that has helped to create the real estate company of choice for more agents under one brand than any real estate company in the world, but will ALSO provide leads and appointments. This new combination affectionately called Teamerage provides the opportunity for higher Market Center profitability and potentially unrecruitable, successful, real estate agents. This playbook was designed to provide you with the model for how to run the most effective Teamerage as well as walking you through, step-by-step, how to implement it. The safest way to transform into a Teamerage is by taking advantage of Keller Williams’ partners and following a two-step process. Follow along on the next page for Steps 1 and 2.
4 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. rev: 10/27/23 Once you make the decision to create, nurture, and monetize leads at scale you will need an entity for the expenses and revenue. You are creating a Lead Generation Division which will either operate below the line or as a completely free-standing company. In the illustration below we show step one as building a Market Center filled with agents and step two is to create the new Lead Generation Division. Most real estate teams scale their agent count in direct correlation with the number of leads they can produce. As soon as they have too many leads and not enough time to properly follow up with them, their conversion rates start to decline. In response, the team recruits more agents so they can service more leads in an effective manner. Let’s say that a team owner has enough leads and systems to enable 1 agent on their team to close 2 transactions per month at an average of $12,000 in GCI. That would be a total of $24,000 GCI. At a 50/50 split, the Gross Team GCI would be $12,000 or $144,000 Gross per year. The average agent is on a team for about 3 years and over that time would generate $432,000 in Gross Team GCI. If that team was operating at a 30% profit margin each agent on the team would generate $129,600 NET profits to the team in a threeyear time period. Now, imagine if that team had 100 agents on it. That would mean they would multiply $129,600 X 100 agents = $12,960,000 NET Profit every three years!!! The challenge is that it is difficult to recruit that many agents and most teams never will. BOOM! You already have the largest sales forces in the entire industry making you 90% of the way there already. This means that Market Centers have the opposite challenge and only one hurdle to overcome: to create enough leads and appointments backed with the right systems and people to allow as many agents as possible who want to participate to have massive success. HOW MANY AGENTS DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR MARKET CENTER? Step 1: Generate Leads Market Center Agents Lead Generation Company Create as a separate company or division. Run as a community.

6 ©2022 Keller Williams Realty, Inc. rev: 10/27/23 1. Create Leads Not all leads are created equal. Lead quality can differ greatly based on the source where the lead was generated as well as the direct offer that the consumer was responding to. The lead who clicks on a photo of a home to see more pictures and the lead who completes a form requesting to speak to a real estate agent are two very different types of leads. The former will transact someday and the latter is likely to want to transact now. The key to all lead generation is understanding that the battle is always fought at the top of the funnel and that at some point everyone is a buyer or a seller. All leads are great leads! Once there are short and long-term nurturing systems in place the result is in a reliable conversion ratio of leads to warm connections to appointments. Once this happens the only focus is to make sure that the top of the funnel is receiving enough leads to ensure that we accomplish our closing goals. There are two primary ways to create top of the funnel leads: 1.) Buy Leads Bought leads can either be generated through your CRM or a third-party source like Google Ads.
