My name is Mike Cuevas, founder of Referral Sweet and host of The Real Estate Marketing Dude podcast. We help referral based businesses become more referable through content creation, customer experience, and relationship nurturing. This helps you build a strong personal brand people know, like, trust, but more importantly refer. Our software gives our users the tools to manage their relationships and remain on top of mind, but our coaching allows them to become impactful. My only goal is to create a personal brand that keeps your business top of mind as well as more personable. Referral Marketing works in every business, not just real estate. The problem everyone has though is, how do you stay in touch with hundreds of relationships without boring them with work related messaging all the time? You create nurturing content. People are going to hire someone they know, like, and trust, but they have to remember them first. That’s why content creation is so important. Referral Sweet helps you “farm” your relationships with content through multiple channels so people STOP forgetting what you do and START sending you clients you love working with. After being tested for over 10 years in practice, Referral Sweet is the first referral marketing system that focused on top of mind brand awareness and personal branding. In other words, we take the guess work out of marketing your sphere if influence so your rolodex of relationship STOP forgetting what you do and start referring their friends and family. I couldn’t stand cold calling, door knocking, or any of the old school prospecting techniques the gurus were shoving down my throat when I started real estate in 2002. However that didn’t mean I couldn’t survive in real estate, I just needed to find another way. In 2004 my best friend “cheated on me” with another real estate agent and I vowed to NEVER let that happen again. It was that day where I realized if my best friend forgot I was in real estate who else was also forgetting? So I started “farming” my friends with direct mail and before you knew it, people stopped forgetting I was in real estate. Over the years as technology mastered referral marketing with content creation. Regardless of what field you are in, you are a marketer first and foremost. The more content you create, the more conversations you’ll have, which means to more trust being built, which means more opportunities you’ll get.
