Description

With rising interest rates, increased investor skepticism, and deals that haven’t gone as planned over the past few years, Nate and Yakov share gems on how to lead with transparency, authority, and empathy. This isn’t about promising sky-high returns anymore. It’s about communicating proactively, addressing fear before it becomes a deal-killer, and presenting yourself with a sense of credibility.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to position yourself to deal with investor fears before objections arise

  • How to build trust & authority even without a long track record

  • How “burnt-out” investors are thinking differently (and what they still want)

  • Tips for engaging long-term investors (self-directed IRAs and 401(k)s)

  • Real-world strategies to drive engagement and referrals

  • A/B testing to improve your one-to-many outreach and one-to-one relationship building

  • Effective (and not so effective) steps to scaling and implementing a system
