Description
🔑 Key Points from the Video
(00:00-00:32 ) — Wholesaling is high pressure: you close one deal and immediately need another. Many plateau at year 1-3 because they lack system, support, or scale. Consistency beats “knowing it all.”
(01:01-01:38 ) — Joe Home Buyer is a franchise model built around an already operating system. You can plug in, use their framework, assess fit, and avoid starting from scratch.
(04:16-05:21 ) — The franchise model has evolved: frameworks got packaged, resources organized, consistency and data leveraged. But starting a franchise system is expensive and heavily regulated (e.g. attorney work, FDDs).
(07:57-09:14 ) — Ideal franchisee profile: people who’ve done a few deals already, believe they can scale, have core values aligned (named the “4 H’s”: Hunger, Heart for others, Humble, Honest). Not beginners.
(23:04-24:04 ) — Onboarding & ramp up: They build a customized blueprint for each franchisee (market-specific), help hire roles (e.g. acquisition manager) based on strengths, and optimize both marketing and sales processes.
(29:18-30:45 ) — Core lead generation strategy: the “Core Three” — Direct Mail, PPC/Online Presence (SEO, Facebook, etc.), Cold Calling. Then add ancillary channels. Sales process calibration often more important than which marketing channel you pick.
(34:24-35:12 ) — Brand & online presence matter: local territory Instagram accounts, content, reviews — these build trust, reduce friction, and compound over time.
(38:39-39:48 ) — Using credibility videos & FAQs in the funnel: placing objection-handling content on landing/thank you pages increases conversion rates (they reported bump from ~14-16% to ~22%).
(50:44-52:12 ) — They’re developing supporting products: e.g. a service called Hunt Closers for recruiting acquisition managers / closers. Also forming strategic partnerships with industry names to refer franchisees and co-brand.
