Chris Watters and Bradley Pounds, his business partner, are on pace to do a little over $6 million this year in closed commissions.
And that’s just one of their teams, and only the listing side of the business.
Together they dominate the hyper-competitive Austin, Texas market.
Now they’re helping other agents take their proven formula and use it to go from relatively unknown to major players in their markets.
They have a coaching program called The First Million Dollars.
Read on for my Chris Watters review.
There are three key impact zones you have to focus on every single day in order to generate your fist seven figures as fast as possible.
Number one is recruiting.
Spoiler alert: you’re not gonna get there by yourself.
But the good news is that recruiting is easy, Chris claims.
Number two is building a strong listing inventory.
And no, you don’t need to waste a bunch of money on direct mail, or all your time going around knocking on doors.
Instead, you just leverage some cheap tools to target home owners who are likely to sell in the coming months.
Third, and this is their secret sauce, you’ve got the brand ambassador program aka using vendor dollars to underwrite your marketing budget.
“You know, in hindsight, this is really the thing that pushed us into explosive growth very quickly in those early days,” Bradley says.
“And then, in addition to these three rocks,” he continues, “you’re gonna need to know how to hire your first assistant, how to create a sales agent training program, how to identify and groom leaders, how to recruit agents, and so much more.”
“Ya know, it’s been said that an orbital rocket uses half its fuel just to get the first few hundred feet off the ground,” Bradley adds, “and I believe that.”
“Building a team is just like it,” he laughs.
“The early days are hard. It’s all about lift, and a lot of teams blow up on the runway because they don’t have a proven plan about how to get it done.”
“So if you are ready to escape the grind and create a real estate business that prints profits whether or not you’re in the office, this is step one.”
Alright, so what’s the deal with their mentoring?
The First Million Dollars coaching program, with Christopher Watters and Bradley Pounds, will cost you $197 a month.
No contract. Cancel at any time.
For that price, you get access to their full training archive of “do this not that” style of coaching plus live weekly “fix it” calls.
There’s recorded videos that’ll walk you through the process of recruiting, training, and managing your own A-players.
You’ll learn where the grenades are buried, how to growth hack, and what the cheat codes are for an amazing business that funds a life you love.
Then, on the live weekly coaching calls, you’ll discover:
- How to get both free and dirt-cheap leads to feed your marketing machine.
- How to do all the techie stuff to make your business run smoother.
- How to make top talent come to you.
- How to get your first office for next to nothing.
- How to capitalize on upcoming market shifts.
- How to stop working buyers yourself.
- How to exponentially grow your listing inventory.
- Plus all the stuff Chris and Bradley wish they knew when they first started.
“My decision to work with Chris was one of the best decisions I’ve made,” writes current TFMD member, Desmond Graham.
“I wanted something more, and working with Chris has been what has helped me accomplish that,” he continues.
“I was looking at the smaller scale and that’s where Chris came in. He helped me see the bigger picture.”
Seems like a safe investment for motivated real estate agents, from where I’m sitting at least.
