Jarod’s venture into land flipping was fueled by a desire to find a business opportunity that seamlessly integrated with his real estate portfolio. The concept of land flipping caught his attention. Intrigued by the potential, Jarod decided to give it a try, seeing it as a way to expand without a significant increase in time commitment. His decision to explore land flipping was also driven by the challenge of securing traditional financing for land deals, because banks often shy away from such transactions.
One defining moment for Jarod was selling four properties in a single phone call to one person! By actively listening to the customer’s needs and offering additional options nearby, Jarod showcased the power of understanding and addressing client requirements. This success underscored the importance of personalized service in the land flipping business.
Placing a strong emphasis on building and maintaining customer relationships, Jarod leverages a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool, Follow Up Boss, ensuring consistent follow-ups and engagement. The use of personalized videos has proven to be a game-changer too, boasting almost 100% open rates and high conversion rates. Even in the absence of an immediate sale, Jarod stays connected with customers through regular emails and videos, fostering a lasting connection.
The success of Expand Your Land is attributed to a well-rounded marketing strategy across various digital channels. Jarod has found a sweet spot on Facebook, generating the majority of his sales through the platform. Recognizing the potential of YouTube, he is now focusing on creating educational content through shorts, aiming to engage and inform potential customers. This combination of digital marketing channels creates a credibility funnel, establishing Expand Your Land as a trusted player in the land flipping arena.
Jarod’s commitment to efficiency is reflected in the technology he employs for daily operations. Critical tools like Follow Up Boss, MailChimp and Slack streamline workflows, ensuring smooth business operations. The integration of BombBomb for personalized video emails adds a personal touch to customer interactions, contributing to the high open rates and conversion rates. Soon, Jarod is planning to implement an AI chatbot to convert inbound communications to sell opportunities through phone calls.
Looking ahead, Jarod envisions doubling sales for Expand Your Land in 2024. The ambitious plan includes acquiring other land companies to tap into their customer data and assets. This strategic move positions Jarod as a true industry expert and power player.
