The Richard Robbins Show

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show represented Canada at the 1984 Olympics and now leads his own real estate team inside the country’s capital in Ottawa, Ontario. Bill Meyer, a 35-year veteran in the Ottawa real estate market, is the Team Lead of The Tulip Team, one of RE/MAX’s top-performing teams in Canada. After the 84’ Olympics, Bill knew he had to provide for his wife and young child. He jokes that it was the barrier of entry to real estate that really helped push him into the industry. “Go to Algonquin College for 6 weeks, get your real estate license and we’ll hire you.” Today, and nearly 40 years later, he helps his team of 12 agents and 5 support staff service the Ottawa, Ontario area with real estate buying and selling. Bill tells me that his number one priority is helping others achieve success. “What can I do to help you be successful in real estate? Most people, when they get into this business, don’t know how to build a solid foundation for their business and my job is to do exactly that.” As a former Olympic athlete, Bill brings with him the discipline, dedication and desire of an Olympian to his real estate business, and is able to apply that experience to the training and mentoring that he provides to his team. In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Bill shares his secrets for going for gold in every aspect of your life. He shares stories of training for the Olympics and how you can bring that same energy into your business and personal life. He explains how to eliminate attrition from your business, how to build commodore among your peers and how he plans to live until he is the ripe old age of 111.

Shaham reveals how he generated 12 transactions in 2024 — 6 buyers and 6 sellers — all from door knocking. The result? A massive $833,000 in Gross Commission Income from face-to-face conversations and consistent follow-up. He shares how face-to-face interactions create real connections, build trust, and lead to lasting client relationships. From choosing the right neighborhood to delivering real value at the door, he breaks down how this hands-on strategy can put agents in control of their results 🔧📊. From choosing the right neighborhoods, to crafting an engaging script, and building long-term relationships through meaningful follow-up, Shaham shares every detail of his process — and why it works. 🔑 Key Takeaways: 🚪 Door knock to generate a lead, then follow up to build the relationship. It starts with knowing where to knock — Shaham looks at turnover rates, visibility, and existing listings to decide which streets are worth his time. When someone answers the door, he uses a clear, friendly script that sparks curiosity and encourages conversation. When no one’s home? He still leaves behind something of value ✉️. The real magic happens after the knock. Follow-up is where deals are made 🔁. Whether it’s a personalized video, a thank-you card, or a market update, Shaham keeps the connection alive through thoughtful, strategic touchpoints: • Letting people know a home on their street sold 🏘️ • Sending a monthly market update 📊 • Sharing a property that just received an offer 📩 • Checking in after a showing 👋 • Offering holiday wishes or just saying, “I was thinking of you” 💭 🏡 Key Takeaways for Real Estate Agents: For agents in today’s market, door knocking offers a cost-effective, high-impact strategy. It gives you the power to generate leads on your terms, while mastering a skill that builds confidence and credibility 🌟. Choose your target neighborhoods wisely and do your homework. Consistency is key. You won’t see results overnight — Shaham shares how it took time to build traction, but persistence paid off. Specialize and stand out. Having a niche builds your brand and helps you become the go-to expert in your market. Follow-up is a system. A conversation at the door is just the beginning. Follow-up is where relationships (and deals) are built. Preparation = confidence. Whether it's your script or market knowledge, showing up prepared makes all the difference. Track progress and stay accountable—coaching can make all the difference. Above all, Shaham reminds us: building a real estate business is about building relationships. And it all starts with a simple knock. 🚪👋 💼 Inspired by Shaham Ahmad’s results? He turned door knocking into $833K GCI in 2024 — and coaching played a big role in that success.
