Mix N Morph Media is a new business that aims to revolutionize marketing by Mixing and Morphing the traditional methods so many are used to. Some reasons you want to consider a marketing company would be to reach a wider audience and attract new customers. Build brand awareness and loyalty. Increase sales and revenue. Stay competitive in the market. Establish credibility and trust with your customers. Gather valuable insights about your audience and market. Create a strong reputation for your business. Maintain customer relationships and encourage repeat business. Launch new products or services successfully. Differentiate your business from competitors. We love what Kaylen says about the three things that all marketing efforts need to have - 1) Lead Conversion, 2) Lead Nurture, and 3) Lead Generation. Posting is NOT marketing!

The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is the largest unsanctioned Boating Event in the world! Director Leah Martin sits down with Kaylen and talks about all things Shootout!

It is a personal pleasure to know both of these women. They are a perfect example of what it looks like to build on each other’s strengths to be team leaders who inspire! Tammy is a 3rd generation Lake of the Ozarks local, has 4 children and has been a top-producing agent for 18 years with RE/MAX. She loves to mentor agents and has the skill and knowledge and experience to do so with excellence. Keri has been in real estate for 5 years, has 2 children, and is achieving her dream of being a team leader early in her career. Keri has the confidence to not only know what to do but does it with excellence. One of her key beliefs is, ‘The only limits you have are the limits you believe.’ This is evident in her success.

From the beginning, Tammy and Keri are establishing a culture in their office based on trust and positive energy. I cannot wait to see what Lake Keys Team does in the future with these women leading. I love the part where Tammy explains she is a student of her circumstances. Wow, she knows how to negotiate the deal, and educates her clients through the process. We can all learn from her problem-solving skills for keeping the real estate deal together.

We cannot contain our excitement. Our guest this week is the real Nick Bailey, president and CEO of RE/MAX.   Kaylen gives a dynamic, professional, and exciting interview with one of the VERY best in the industry. This episode is packed with the most valuable information for YOU as a real estate agent.  Find out what Nick means when he says the following: ‘People buy houses every year’.,and  ‘Don’t rent your business, own it!’.  He also answers the popular question, ‘Do we have an inventory problem?’ One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Nick reminds us that, our goal as a real estate agent is not to worry about fluctuations such as market conditions, interest rates, etc.  Our goal is to understand them to help a buyer or seller navigate them.  CRM…. CRM… CRM…. I also love when Nick and Kaylen discuss how we can deal with all of the noise around us such as the tech industry, market changes, and interest rates.  Nick says, ‘Stop worrying about your data and worry about your database’.  Nick, Yes! You are thriving in your goal serving RE/MAX and it’s people, and you have inspired us all! Thank you! for coming on the show.
