Profile of Land Academy Members with Sr Manager (LA 1105)
Transcript:
Erin: Hi.
Steven Butala: Hello, how are you?
Erin: Good, how are you?
Steven Butala: Good. All right, so is there anything you specifically want to talk about today?
Erin: Yeah, I was going to talk about members making connections because we've had a lot of people ... The live event, people making connections, and then we've had a lot of people asking us about accountability groups and how to connect with each other and do deals together and things like that.
Steven Butala: Excellent. I'm going to retitle the whole thing that and just take it away. I have a lot to say about that too because I'm actually doing some stuff now that's pretty intense, pretty intentionally specialized, intensely specialized with some of these guys.
Erin: Cool, perfect.
Steven Butala: All right. You ready?
Erin: Yes.
Steven Butala: Steven here. Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Today I talk again with our Senior Manager from Land Academy, to catch up on what matters to our current Land Academy members. Hello Erin.
Erin: Hi.
Steven Butala: We just talked right before we turned the cameras on and I said, "Is there something special you want to talk about today?" And bang, connections. You came up with it immediately, so I'd love to hear about our members connecting and your thoughts on that today.
Erin: So part of me thinks we're kind of still riding the high of the live event because people hear about how all of the great connections were made there and see it, see all the people working together. So now I think there's a little bit of jealousy too of the people who weren't at the live event who strive for those connections now.
Steven Butala: It's funny you say that because I am still working three specific angles and pretty sophisticated, the connections I've made, and I've talked to these guys all the time. The live event seemed to just make it all click. So this isn't a live event promotional video, but it's worked for me too. So what examples are you seeing?
Erin: This week I have gotten so many messages of people kind of asking, "Okay, I know we have the deal board but is that where I should post messages trying to connect with people, or do you guys have a way that I can work with other members?" And the deal board really is the best place that we have, but it's kind of gotten me thinking about if there's a way we could do something else. Our advanced group has a GroupMe group text and I don't necessarily want to manage that for all of our members, but-
Steven Butala: I can imagine.
Erin: But I do think that there is another way we could do it, whether it's me posting something on the deal board being like, "Come comment here if you want to work with someone else." People really want to work with other members and see the value in it but are kind of having trouble making that first connection. I don't know if it's because they maybe don't want to spam up our deal board or something like that, but people really want to work together. They see the value in it. They do hear you talking about it a lot, which was really helpful too.
Steven Butala: You know what baffles me, that as much as we try to launch products ... We don't try, we do. We very successfully launch tech products or websites like Land Tank or House Tank, where it's a very specific use product and which I, in my opinion, are the easiest and best ones. You have a great deal, you don't exactly have the cash to do it and you want to find a par...
