Are you leaving thousands, if not millions, in commissions on the table without even realizing it? As real estate professionals, we often have a goldmine of opportunities sitting right in our own databases, but we still find ourselves buying leads or chasing cold prospects.
The potential for incredible commissions is already at your fingertipsâhidden in the contacts stored in your phone.
Many real estate agents fail to maximize the value of their contacts, missing out on millions in potential deals simply because they donât have a functional strategy to extract the most value from their database or simply because information is incomplete.
How do we focus our time and energy to tap into the opportunities in our contacts? What are some of the things we can do to fill CRM gaps?
In this episode, co-founder of Revaluate Chris Drayer and âThe CRM coachâ Adam Frank join me to talk about the millions weâre leaving on the table when it comes to our database, how to tap into the potential commission our contacts can bring and why having a database without direction is useless.
Things Youâll Learn In This Episode
Be a CRM expert
Mastering your CRM in real estate allows you to streamline operations, stay organized, and effectively manage client relationships. What opportunities can we extract when we master our CRM?
Take what you want
Leveraging your real estate database by focusing on the clients that align with your goals can maximize efficiency and opportunities. How can you determine which clients to prioritize and which to refer to other agents for the best outcomes?
No one has a perfect database.
Incomplete databases doesnât necessarily mean that the leads are bad. It just means that the opportunities are limited. What can be done to bridge these gaps and complete the data?

Many real estate agents find it hard to reach six figures because they focus on the big picture and forget the small, consistent actions that lead to success.
Instead of chasing every opportunity or burning out from overwork, agents should focus on intentional daily habits and building genuine relationships.
Success isnât about one huge leapâitâs about doing the little things right every day, and those small wins build up over time to create a thriving business.
What do you do if youâre working harder but youâre still not seeing the results you want? What if focusing on big, flashy goals is stopping you from realizing that doing less, but with more intention, could actually make your business soar?
In this episode, I talk to a real estate leader in Northwest Florida and motivational speaker, Paul Domenech AKA Pauly. He breaks down his method for achieving six-figure success without sacrificing your life or sanity.

Delegation is often misunderstood, with many thinking itâs about laziness or shirking responsibility. It is actually about freeing up time and resources to focus on higher-value tasks.

If you think networking is just about attending events, collecting business cards and shaking hands, youâre on the fast track to empty connections. Networking is really about finding those few key people who can truly make a difference in your business.
The power lies not in the quantity of connections but in the qualityâthose relationships that bring real value and opportunities. Focusing on meaningful interactions can transform your networking from a numbers game into a powerful tool for growth.
How do you rethink your approach to networking? Can a small, simple event focused on fewer people could actually lead to bigger opportunities for your business?
In this episode, Iâm joined by real estate investment specialist, Paul Chase. We talk about how he used a unique event called "Brews and Biz" to create meaningful connections in the real estate world.
"The more I network, the more my sales team grows. If I connect with 150 people, and each of them knows 150 more, I can focus on the right ones and show them how helping me also puts money in their pockets."-Paul Chase

Posting content online is important, but it alone canât move your real estate business forward. You need to do more than that. We need to make real connections with people and follow up with them in order to deepen our relationships with them.
Thatâs where our database comes in. A well-organized database helps us create those connections and make our follow-up more meaningful. Something as simple as calling someone on their birthday can make a huge difference and boost our businesses.
The best way to get more out of our database is to gamify it and challenge ourselves to keep growing it. Why do we need to focus more on quality than quantity with our database?
In this episode, seasoned real estate professional Jennie Wolek returns. We talk about developing clarity and focus in business, utilizing our strengths, and building relationships that result in referrals.
"Build a database of agents outside of your market, just like you do your local database." -Jennie Wolek

Making a million dollars without spending money on leads sounds like a pipe dream, but it is possible. Success isnât about spending the most, itâs about building strong relationships and having good conversations.
Instead of throwing money at your marketing, you can earn big just by being kind and connecting with others. It starts with the conversations we have. The more we make people feel seen, heard, valued, and cared for, the more we can turn them into sources of income.
