How Jill Hires Support Staff (CFFL 515)
Transcript:
Jack: Jack Butala with Jill DeWitt.
Jill: Hi there.
Jack: Welcome to our show today. In this episode, Jill and I talk about how Jill hires support staff. It sounds boring, but it's incredibly important.
Jill: Oh, it's a process.
Jack: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill: Okay. Christian asked, "Hey, everyone. I've been going over the program and listening to lots of podcasts and Thursday calls." Note from Jill, those are free right now to the public, FYI. "And I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I don't know what I'm doing. I have almost no business experience and literally no real estate experience. I've signed a few leases, but that's it." Oh, that's okay.
"Can you guys suggest some basic and accessible books, websites, YouTube channels, et cetera, that I can use to learn the basics of how real estate works? I'm more or less understanding most of what I'm reading and hearing here, but it's hard to get a handle on things without a basic framework of knowledge, so any help would be greatly appreciated." Aw, good stuff.
Jack: Boy, I'll tell you, what a great question. The show and all of our written material covers all the details for every step of the way on how to get through your first acquisition sale, or your 16,000, I guess, which is what Jill and I are on, so it's really hard. We've all been standing exactly where you are. Everybody.
Jill: You know what, you probably have everything at your finger tips, Christian, and it's just pushing the button kind of thing, you know, and just diving in, but you're already here, so you've kind of already done that, which is good.
Jack: Anything else, you just take it step by step.
Jill: Yep, and use us.
Jack: Yeah.
Jill: Yeah, and use our community. We were talking about this a few minutes ago. I know that we have the most helpful, considerate, by design, great group of individuals here that will, us included, help you every step of the way. So you get hung up on something? That's what landinvestors.com, that online community, is for. Go, any little question, like already I'm about to push the button on this. Am I missing anything? And everybody will weigh in and help you.
Jack: Yeah. I mean, here's the basic steps. You target or pick an area where you want to send offers, blind offers. Step 2: You price the area and send the offers. We have the tools for all of this stuff every step of the way. Step 3: You field the calls, or hire somebody to field the calls, and then choose the offers, or the ones that you want to buy. You buy them, prep em for sale on the internet, and sell em, and I know I'm skipping along the top here, but again, all throughout our written materials and on our websites, you're gonna find the answers to all of this. Start at landinvestors.com and really ask this question, and I'd love to see, like Jill said, you have to really deconstruct-
Jill: Do you know-
Jack: It-
Jill: Do you know what else?
Jack: And model yourself after somebody who's really good at it, either us, or like, Luke Smith, or there's several other people, Tory Watson. There's a lot of other people in our group who are really, really successful.
Jill: Well, I was gonna say too, Christian, you're not alone. Most individuals go over all the information more than one time, some, several times, so-
Jack: Especially Chapter 5 in the program that we have,
