This is a great new platform I was introduced to by a local contact, Donna
Mechura. She interviewed me and gave me the opportunity to establish my
business on Parkbench. The set-up was fairly simple. I did have to learn how to
add photos, but it wasn't a huge learning curve. There was an issue with a
coupon I created, but Tom and the team hopped right on it. I do have to say I
appreciated the positive attitude and service oriented motivation! I look forward to
this platform's growth and being able to serve wherever I can!

Parkbench has given me an excellent way to better connect with my local business community and
fellow chamber of commerce members. For example, from the day my site went live, Parkbench
provided me with a local business directory. This provided value to my prospective interviewees and
gave me a talking point that helped me reach out to them. I have also leveraged my existing
community Facebook page, which has 2,600 followers. Parkbench stories automatically show up on
my Facebook page (called Hastings Happenings), and then link readers back to my Parkbench site. I
highly recommend Parkbench!

I have been using Parkbench for 3 months and am finding it to be an effective tool for me as a
real estate broker. I obtained my license shortly after relocating to a new area, and was looking
for ways to help me learn the area and meet people quickly. Parkbench provided a natural
avenue to accomplish that. The business owners I contact for interviews are appreciative of
(and surprised at) the fact that there is no charge to them for the opportunity to promote their
business.

41. How To Get Clients From The Prospect Interview
“Hey _____,
before we wrap this interview up,
as you may know, I’m a local realtor in the area.
So while I’m here, do you have any questions about the market that I can
answer for you?
And Have you had any thoughts of buying or selling anytime soon?”
What do you think happens every 5-10-15-20 interviews?
Hint: You Find Clients To Work With
Before my last interview, the business owner did her homework and knew more about me
than I did about her, and she was prepared to ask me about real estate after the interview
without me even having to bring it up. I am going to their home this week for a listing
presentation, and hopefully sell them a piece of property to build a new home on. I am
really excited to see where my new relationships take me and my business.

42. How To Get Referrals From Prospect Interviews®
“Hey _____, before I go,
Do you know anyone else who would like to be
featured?
What do you think happens next?
Hint: You Get Referrals!
Parkbench has been a great way to introduce myself to the local business owners in a
non-sales fashion, helping to bring them business as well as start a dialog with them and
possibly start new friendships. My most recent interview we were chatting afterward and I
actually created business for my parents when talking with the business owner I was able
to connect them and help both businesses meet a need.

46. Parkbench allowed me to meet local people, gain
exclusive exposure. I interviewed a home inspector as
well who has a blog and he gave me a referral. The
relocation deal I’m working on, I got it specifically
because I told him that I have a network of over 900
realtors across North America who are neighborhood
experts!
Parkbench (showed) me a way to expand my sphere of
influence beyond family and friends. My ROI with
Parkbench was truly beyond (my) expectation. I’ll
definitely be renewing, and have no plans to invest in
any other marketing platforms.”

54. The Most Important Number In Real Estate = The Turnover
Rate
Definition: on average, how many years do people live in their homes before they sell and move
This is WHY Relationships are more powerful than marketing
93%
7%
Sold Not Sold
Step 1. Figure out how many total homes sold in the last 12 months
Example: 210 homes sold in my zip code
Step 2. Figure out how many total homes there are to sell
Example: 3000 sellable homes
Step 3. Total Sold / Total Sellable = Absorption Rate
Example: 200 / 3000 = .07
Step 4. 1 / Absorption Rate = Turnover Rate
Example: 1 / .07 = 14.28 years
56. How Parkbench Helps Brokers & Team Leaders
1. Recruiting - When you have a unique marketing system and technology to give agents to help them build
their brand and make money, you have a unique selling proposition to help you recruit more agents
2. Training - When you have a proven marketing system to plug your agents into, with scripts, templates,
action steps, and support, your agents will be more successful, which makes you more money. AND, if you
don’t have to do the training, it saves you time (which is money)
3. Retention - When you have exclusivity to a marketing system and technology that your agents can’t get if
they leave you, then it genuinely makes them happier and more money to stay with you, which increases
retention
4. Branding - When you own an all-in-one resource for your geographic farm area, and your team is out in
the community, interviewing people, to feature them, and help them, your team becomes branded as the
(AREA NAME) Team.
5. Transcations - If your agents are out in the community, building more relationships, following up more,
and prospecting more, you will make more money
6. Volume - if your agents can build relationships with people who buy and sell higher prices homes, then
your volume will go up over time
7. Profit - If your team’s strategy is more relationship and referral based, instead of advertising based, then
your team will profit more.
58. Just to clarify…
This is not lead generation. This is lead creation.
I understand not everyone wants to be in the spot light and has difficulty starting
conversations with strangers. It’s my opinion, if you want to have a truly successful
business you have to put God first. If you asked Jesus how he would conduct His
business, I feel He would say, by getting to know the people who need the business
he has.
He wouldn’t say by being pushy or convincing them they need what your selling.
He would want to have a real relationship with His customers and that is what
Parkbench and their Business coaches will teach you how to do.

your future posts about real estate, and they either become a client or refer you business
• When you follow up with the interviewee, you naturally start talking about real estate, and the interviewee becomes a client or refers
you business

you win more clients and close more deals
• You build a larger database of professionals and small business owners who can serve your clients, so you actually offer a better
service to your clients, because you're a leader and influencer and connector in the community, turning your client into a raving fan
who promotes your brand and refers you business
