	Hi All, We Get Around created a Calculator to show real estate agents how engaging a Matterport Pro can help them double their annual income. Matterport Spaces 3D Tours can help an agent Win More and Bigger Listings More Often. That's been my mantra since We Get Around Atlanta bought a Matterport Pro 3D Camera in July 2014. Yes. But how and how much? The how is easy: by differentiating your marketing plans for listings. Imagine an agent that says: ==> "We include a Matterport Spaces 3D Tour with every listing for $500,000 or more." I could imagine that less than five percent of listings include Matterport Spaces 3D Tours. So, there is still an opportunity for agents to differentiate. If my wife and I are selling our home, this is the solution we want to help us get the most offers for the most money; sooner and have potential buyers visit doing actual walk throughs that have pre-tour the house with the Matterport Spaces 3D Tour. Plus, less stress because only pre-qualified buyers - those that have viewed the Matterport Spaces 3D Tour of our home - doing actual walk throughs. Okay. You get it. Your potential client gets it. BUT, how much more money can the agent make annually using your Matterport Spaces 3D tours? You MUST shift the conversation from, "I got a listing that I think would be great for Matterport. How much?" How many of those phone calls or emails have you done and the agent said, "I only pay X for photography and you want 10X, let me think about it and get back to you." Crickets. Now imagine shifting the conversation to, "Would you like me to show you how we can help double your annual income?" Now you are talking about what is important to a sales person. (Hint: it has nothing to do with dollhouse view; MatterTags, 360º Views, etc. Stay focused on three points: helping the agent win more and bigger listings more often.) Think about asking more questions rather than giving answers: 1. Are you winning 100 percent of your listing presentations? 2. Are your listings as large as you would like? 3. Are you doing as many listings annually as you would like? The answer will be NO to each question. (If you do not hear NO-NO-NO, standup and walk out. They are not being truthful with you.) Now you have identified three problems. Now you can help solve those three problems for the agent. That is why different than having a "that's why more than I expected; let me think about it" conversation. Now imagine asking these questions? And, I will give you some starting points so we can do the math together on doubling income so I can show how we get to $293,000 from $150,000 in annual income. 1. How many listing presentations do you do annually? (25) 2. What percent of your listing presentations do you win annually? (40 percent) 3. What is the average listing price?? ($500,000) 4. What is your sales commission? (3 percent) 5. By differentiating your marketing plans for listings, how many more listing presentations will you make? (25 percent) 6. By differentiating your marketing plans for listings, what percent of your listing presentations will you win annually? (25 percent) 7. By differentiating your marketing plan for listings, how much more will your listings sell for? (25 percent) Those are the seven questions and answers that shows an agent how they can double their annual income. That's it. Stay focused on dramatically increasing income. Stop talking about dollhouse view, image quality or anything else, except making more money. Your potential client is self employed. They are sales people. They like selling and they like be sold to. And, you services can help them succeed faster. Yes. I understand all these numbers are different for all markets and agents. That's why we created this calculator so that agents can calculate the numbers for themselves in less than 60 seconds. Try the Calculator. Simply move the "sliders" left or right to change the answers. The Calculator will instantly calculate how much money they can make annually – with your help. Every agent knows the answers to questions 1 to 4 in their head: 1. number of listing presentations annually 2. closing rate 3. average listing size ($$$) 4. sales commission What we - and the agent - do not know is the percent increase in the following as a result of using Matterport Spaces 3D Tours: 5. percent increase in more listing presentations? 6. percent increase in winning more listing presentations? 6. percent increase in the size of the listing? We set the calculator at a 25 percent increase in the above three numbers. Maybe it's more. Maybe it's less. The point is you can help the agent make way more money if they engage your services and plant a flag in the ground, proclaiming, "We include a Matterport Spaces 3D Tour with every listing of X or more." Now imagine the listing that they thought would look great as a Matterport Spaces 3D tour is positioned as the first example for the agent to point to. (It's likely to be the biggest listing the agent got and that's why they are calling.) Now imagine the agent proclaims, "All $500,000 listings include a Matterport Spaces 3D Tour." Since we know that most people - buying or selling a home - begin the process by searching the web for what their neighbors are doing, discovery of the Matterport Space 3D Tour will lead to more requests for listing presentations by sellers (and buyers) that want to deal with a tech-savvy agent. (You can hep them become a tech savvy agent.) And, by differentiating their listing presentations, they will win a higher percentage of listings. And, over time, listings are likely to get larger because the agent has the marketing tools to win these listings. If you have been a regular reader of my musings, you know that I am always focused on three points for your pitch to agents: ==> Win More and Bigger Listings More Often After years of repeating this mantra, We Get Around Network has a calculator for agents to see instantly how Matterport Spaces 3D Tours can help them double their income and Find a Matterport Pro anywhere. --- How do you like this We Get Around Network Win More and Bigger Listings More Often Calculator?

@Queen_City_3D agents get interested in bigger listings when they are stuck selling in the lower end of their market. Using WGA tools helps them step up in ways they haven't been able to.

So win bigger listings is a main concern for many. Also the remax or coldwell banker type of brokerages want to steal listings from the boutique brokerages or sotheby's agents.

The underdog now has the tools through WGA marketing to kick their A$$ a few times a year and suddenly with a portfolio of bigger listings with this type of marketing they now are seen by buyers and sellers as a premium property marketing agent.

Bigger listings can mean $350k when you are selling a $100k porta potty in the bad side of town :-)

	Nicely done. Quick questions about your "win more and bigger listings" sales pitch. I get the more listings... what's with the "bigger"? I'm a Realtor myself and couldn't care less about the size of the home, because its size doesn't impact my pocket book in any way. Now if by bigger you mean more expensive, that I get, because the more expensive the home the bigger X% of commission I receive. Just thought that as that tag line is directed towards agents, it might be better to tweak the pitch, although I'm not sure what to tweak it to. "Win more listings and win more higher end listings that earn you more" isn't quite as catchy.

	I'd actually say its a small minority of agents who track number of 1) listing presentations and 2) closing rate despite it being a recommended exercise (because what you track tends to improve). As for 3) and 4)... yes... I'd say almost every agent would know those stats for him/herself. I'll have to think on the answers to how Matterport has helped me personally. I'm sure it has, but its hard to sort out from other unique selling propositions I offer to say what impact each had. I suppose having a survey from clients ranking their reasons for why they chose the agent would help to gain insight on those questions.
