Market Yourself Like a CommodityEngineering an Experience From Finish to Start

Mark Johnson 
Chief Executive Officer, JP and Associates Realtors

Frequently when I’m consulting with real estate team leaders and agents, I’m told, “well, Mark, everyone is the same, just like me!” And I say: “differentiate or die.” 

Think about it; you can get gas for your car anywhere. You can take any airline or rental car firm to get you to your destination. So why do you trade where you trade?

For some, it’s the price. For others, it’s service. For many, it’s convenience. 

Market Yourself Like a Commodity

Think about it — when marketing a commodity business consider the following eight ways to differentiate yourself: 

  • Deliver an overall superior customer service experience 
  • Deliver superior responsiveness 
  • Offer flexibility with a menu of services 
  • Be the undisputed knowledge expert in your neighborhood 
  • Become a valuable resource –  the HUB of all things home service-related 
  • Create more relevant and modern digital marketing. For example: Package your pre-listing, listing and post-listing communications in a very unique and fun way  
  • Surprise and delight with creative neighborhood events. For example: A shredder or charity truck drop off for spring cleaning 
  • Build more robust and more in-depth relationships – an organic loyalty program. 

Engineering an Experience From Finish to Start

Take the perfect transaction from your experience and work backward. Reinvent a great experience from start to finish. Then ask for feedback.

Studies show you just need to ask four questions: 

  1. What did we do well? 
  2. What can we do better? 
  3. Would you refer us to others who need to buy, sell, or invest? 
  4. Anything else you would like to share with us? 

So there you have it — differentiate or die! Will you?
