You don’t prospect enough. Maybe you are new to the business and fear holds you back. Maybe you are like me, and the fear of looking stupid holds you back. Regardless, you should be picking up the phone more. With our coaching clients at the Massimo Group, systematic prospect is one of the pillars of the Massimo Methods.
I’ve shared this before, but when I left the Marine Corps in 2004 to work with my dad in commercial real estate, I was paralyzed when it came to prospecting. I would sit at my desk and stare at the phone. I had no clue what to say. I had no idea of the directions a prospecting conversation could take.
I couldn’t bear the idea that I would look stupid and fall on my face. What I lacked was confidence.
I was recently in Phoenix at a mastermind. I heard a man say that “Action unlocks greatness. Simplicity unlocks action.” That got me thinking. If we can understand the mindset of our prospects when we call, then we have the opportunity to address those mindsets quickly. Then we can prospect with more confidence.
Any of us in sales of any kind can prospect with more confidence by understanding these 4 mindsets of our prospects.
Knowing these mindsets is one thing. Being able to use them to your advantage on a prospecting call is another.
That is why I want to invite you to a webinar I am presenting on Wednesday, June 1 at 2:00pm EST – How to Nail the Most Important Part of a Prospecting Call. You can register by clicking the button below.
In this webinar, we’ll dive deeper into the mindsets of your prospects and discuss how use them to your advantage. We are also going to dive into:

I met Rod Santomassimo in 2007. Sperry Van Ness was recruiting our firm, and Rod was giving my parents and me – along with 10 other prospects – a presentation. I remember thinking, “This guy is tough as nails and knows what he’s talking about.”
My next interaction with him was at SVN bootcamp. He was playing the role of Mr. Big Ego, and I had to give him a presentation to win his business. Our group won his business. I felt like I impressed him. He probably doesn’t remember that, but I was proud of it.
Then he started the Massimo Group, and I hired him as my coach. For two years, he had a profound impact on my business. We restructured my entire prospecting system (which probably saved the company) and focus. He encouraged me and showed me how to build a presence.
Then he asked me to become a coach for the Massimo Group. I was coming off a really bad year in CRE because I’d started an insurance company that had failed. My attention had been diverted. I hesitated to tell him yes. So I spoke to my mentor who told me to do it. He said that coaching would sharpen my ax. He was right. My brokerage career had its best years while I was coaching.
So for the last 5 years, I’ve been coaching CRE brokers. During that time, I’ve owned and operated a CRE brokerage firm, I’ve been a corporate exec at a national CRE firm, and I’ve been a VP at a food safety technology start-up. The constant during that time has been the Massimo Group.
I love to coach. I love to see my clients grow in their prospecting, presence, fill their pipelines and explode their production. It is some of the most satisfying work I’ve ever done.
And it is so different than training. Trainers show up, brain dump, and then leave you with their well-wishes. Coaching is jumping in a fox hole with your client and ensuring they accomplish their goals. It involves accountability.
So when Rod started talking with me a couple months ago about coming on with the Massimo Group full-time, I was intrigued and excited. And after nailing down some details, I’ve completed my first week as Executive Vice President of the Massimo Group. I’m convinced that we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible. Our clients see results. They average 5 times more income than the average CRE broker.
It is a blast being a part of that.
The Massimo Group needs more coaches. We have approximately 15 coaches now, and we are at capacity. New clients have to wait sometimes 6 weeks before we can place them with a coach. This is a great problem to have, but one we have to solve.
If you:
then I want to talk to you. Shoot me an email at bo @ massimo-group.com and let me know you are interested.
Tomorrow, I’ve got another announcement I’m excited to share with you so be sure to check back.
Have you ever had the nagging feeling that you are stuck? Have you plateaued? Have you ever wondered why others seem to be blowing by you?
I’ve been there. For whatever reason, my mind is formatted to think in processes. In other words, I believe there is a way to create a process, or a system, to maximize the efficiency of just about any task. So I’m always looking for better processes to simplify and maximize efficiency.
In my early CRE days, my CRM was a legal pad. That was what my dad did at the time. But I knew there had to be a better way. So I tried using Outlook – because that is what my dad had moved to. Then I tried Goldmine – then ACT!. Then I tried RealHound – and others. Each time I switched, I gained more efficiency. I was becoming more productive.
Then I switched to the cloud, and everything changed.
In tomorrow’s webinar, I’m going to bring on the ClientLook guys so they can demonstrate what a simple and powerful CRM system can do…and how that can lead to more business for you.
This past weekend, I got to spend some time with Michael Griffin and John Dawson in San Diego at the NAR Convention and Expo. What they have coming is so exciting. I am pumped to share it with you.
You will learn:
In addition, I’ve worked out a special deal for my readers you can’t get anywhere else.
So if you are frustrated with your current CRM solution – if you long for more power and more simplicity, this webinar is for you. Seats are limited (one of these days I need to increase my GoToWebinar account), so be sure to sign up now.
And I’ll see you tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov 18, at 1:00pm Eastern) on the webinar.
I’m excited to keynote the Commercial Caffeinated Networking Breakfast for the NAR Realtors Conference & Expo.

Topic: Double Your Impact by Creating Dominating Digital Presence
We all want to have a greater impact – for our clients, our business, our family, and our lives. One way to drive greater impact is to become more known. One of the quickest ways to grow your presence is by digital means.
Creating dominating digital presence allows you to attract your perfect prospects – and repel those you don’t want to work with. It allows you to demonstrate your expertise without tooting your own horn.
It also allows you to educate your future clients raising the chances that they will think of you when they are ready.
Attendees will learn a framework of action steps for the next 90 days to create this kind of presence and double the impact on their business.

Last week I announced the formation of Massimo University. As a launching point for this new venture, I’ve created a free video training series on creating dominating digital presence.
Video two in that series is now live. You can access it by clicking here.
In the first video of the series, I shared with you all the reasons why you need digital presence. In this video, I share with you the 10 platform killing mistakes you must avoid.
I think you are going to love it!
I want to remind you that this video series is only up for another week, so be sure you check them out while you can!
There are so many who could benefit from creating dominating digital presence. I’d be so grateful if you would share this post with them. You can use the email button at the top of this post, or share it on your favorite social media platform. Thanks!
I met Rod Santomassimo in San Antonio. I was with my parents who had traveled with me to see me get my CCIM pin. It was a proud and blessed moment for all of us.
At the same time, Sperry Van Ness had been recruiting our company. We were invited to a presentation where Rod, and executive with SVN at the time, was giving us a presentation along with Kevin Maggiacomo and Jerry Anderson.
I got up to leave during Rod’s presentation. Turns out that is not the best idea. Rod called me out letting me know he wasn’t finished. I shared with him that I had to go sit for my comprehensive exam, and I would rejoin the meeting when I was finished.
If you are ever in a room listening to Rod present, don’t walk out. You may get more attention than you planned.
Since that time, Rod and I have become great friends. I worked with him at SVN. I hired him as my coach when he started the Massimo Group. He asked me to come on as a coach for MG when he began to aggressively grow his company. He has taught me many things.
So I am so excited that Rod and I have formed a new company – Massimo University. Among other things, MassimoU will be creating and producing online courses – for CRE professionals and anyone with a sales or entrepreneurial bent.
And as a special gift to launch our new venture, we have created a free video training series on creating dominating digital presence. It is only open for a short time – the next 13 days to be exact. And I don’t want you to miss out!
So head to this link. I’m so very excited about the great strategies and tools we are sharing through this free series.
And never in a million years did I expect to say this, but I am now the dean of a university – ha!

It happens, right? I figured it probably would never happen to me.
However, if you tried to access my blog over the last number of days, you may have gotten a completely white screen.
What an inconvenience…for both of us.
I do think I’ve fixed everything and put some safeguards in place so hopefully it will never happen again.
So please accept my sincerest apologies…and keep coming back. I’ve got tons of great stuff in the hopper for you.

I’ve written about this before, but I get asked about my recommendation on CRMs more than anything.
And rightfully so. A great Customer Relationship Management application is a crucial part of the technology backbone of any business – especially commercial real estate.
I’m really excited to announce my first webinar with ClientLook this Wednesday, August 19 at 3pm Eastern.
