This Week’s Agent Edge ~ June 1: JUNE LEAD GENERATION PLAYBOOK

🧠 MINDSET MATTERS: THE GRADUATION MINDSET

June is graduation season 🎓, and there's a powerful lesson here for us agents. Think about it—graduates don't stop learning when they get their diploma. They're just beginning! Yet how many of us treat getting our real estate license like we've "graduated" from learning? Success isn't about knowing everything—it's about staying curious and continuously improving your skills, especially as the market and technology evolve.

Action Steps:

• Identify one skill gap that's holding you back and commit to learning it this month (even if it makes you uncomfortable!)
• Ask a successful agent in your office if you can shadow them for one hour—you'll be surprised what "obvious" things you've been missing

💼 DATABASE GOLD: THE BBQ STRATEGY

Here's an idea that actually works: What if you treated your database like you're planning the ultimate backyard BBQ? 🍔 You wouldn't invite everyone—just the people who matter most. Summer gatherings create natural opportunities for past clients to mention you to friends and family. The casual atmosphere makes referrals feel organic, not forced.

Action Steps:

• Plan a casual summer gathering for your top 10 clients (keep it small and personal—this isn't about quantity)
• Create a "Summer Home Tips" series and text one tip weekly to your database (e.g., "June Tip: Clean those AC filters before the heat wave hits! 🌡️")

📊 PLANNING FOR PROFIT: GRADUATION GOALS

Speaking of graduations, let's talk about "graduating" to your next income level. June marks the halfway point of 2024—perfect time for a mid-year check-in. Break down your remaining goals into monthly, then weekly, then daily activities. When you see the actual numbers, what seemed impossible often becomes a clear path forward.

Action Steps:

• Calculate exactly where you stand on your annual goals (no guessing—get specific with the numbers)
• Identify the ONE activity that, if you did it consistently, would guarantee you hit your revised year-end target

📱 MARKETING THAT MATTERS: SUMMER OF CONNECTIONS

Graduation parties, BBQs, summer kick-offs—June is THE month for natural networking! Forget cold calling when you can warm prospect at every summer event. Creating community-focused content around graduations and summer activities positions you as the local expert while generating organic engagement from proud parents and community members.

Action Steps:

• Create a "Graduation Season" content piece featuring local schools (interview a few graduates about their plans—parents LOVE sharing this content)
• Develop your "Summer Conversation Starter Kit": 5 questions that naturally lead to real estate discussions at casual gatherings

💌 THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

"Your net worth is directly related to your network—and summer is prime time for expanding both." Every BBQ invitation, every graduation party, every pool gathering is a chance to deepen relationships that drive your business forward.

🎯 JUNE CHALLENGE: THE 10-A-DAY CHALLENGE

Here's your lead generation challenge with a summer twist: Connect with 10 people per day, but make at least 3 of them in-person connections. Coffee shop ☕, gym 🏃‍♀️, graduation party 🎉, youth sports game ⚾—wherever you are, be intentionally present.
