Most business owners have it a lot easier than we do when it comes to marketing. They have a simple selling cycle that moves in a straight line A>B>C from left to right. They have a wholesaler (A) who sells products to them cheaply as the middleman (B), which they then sell to the end consumers (C) at a profit.

This means they only have to market to one customer: their end buyer.

But as creative real estate entrepreneurs, we have to market to an additional customer first: property sellers. That means unlike most other businesses out there, we are sandwiched by customers on both sides of us, which means our selling cycle is completely different.

It also means that even when we're buyers, we are actually still sellers

Find out what all of that means for us-- and what our selling cycle actually looks like-- in this episode of the Creative Real Estate Minute.
