Hi – @halle-eavelyn & the mindset call started talking about this.  She suggested I post her.  I haven’t got her response yet.  I’m going to post my second chat next.  PS I will be on the call.

Here’s example #1,

Tom Rasmussen – Thanks for connecting. What’s your core business?
Tara Davis-Banks – Educational Software
Tom Rasmussen – Cool. Do you like in the Chicagoland area?
Tom Rasmussen – Cool. Do you live in the Chicagoland area? (sorry, I guess I should check my spelling,)
Tara Davis-Banks – Yes I do
Tom Rasmussen – That’s awesome.  I was born here.  How about you?
Tara Davis-Banks – Same here
Tom Rasmussen – Do you have any time slots tomorrow to chat?
Tara Davis-Banks – About what exactly?
Tom Rasmussen – Let’s chat for a few minutes. I have a fairly big network that may benefit you. What are a few time windows that you have tomorrow?

Tom Rasmussen – Thanks for connecting. What’s your core business?

Vincente. Rolon, LSSGB – Currently working for Nokia as a program manager

Tom Rasmussen – Cool.  Do you like in the Chicagoland area then?

Vincente. Rolon, LSSGB – Yes

Tom Rasmussen – I’m from here, how about you?

Vincente. Rolon, LSSGB – born and raised in Ill. Hope someday to get out lol. Have a good day

Tom Rasmussen – That’s great! Let’s chat for a few minutes. I have a fairly big network that may benefit you. What are a few time windows that you have tomorrow?

Vincente. Rolon, LSSGB – Tom, What exactly are you meaning by networks and what benefits? Please explain before I decide to talk. Are you a job recruiter? I am not looking real-estate at this time

Tom Rasmussen – “Great question Vincente”, I am not a recruiter. 🙂 Unlike some here on LinkedIn, I’m actually building valuable and useful relationships that benefit one another. I know that’s old school. (yikes!) So, Vincente… I can guarantee you aren’t just another notch on my LinkedIn connection numbers! Thanks for asking that question. Now I’m going to blow your mind and go really old school. Let’s jump on a quick call and chat for a few minutes. What do say?

Vincente. Rolon, LSSGB – Tom, Thank you for the reply but honestly did not get to the point for me. I am in the market for work but not looking for a sales pitch. Thank you for taking the time and good luck.

Tom Rasmussen – My network is upwords of 3300+.  Is there any particular company you’re looking at?

Vincente. Rolon, LSSGB – no just looking to get out of contract work. maybe remote or work within 20 to 30 mile area of home which is saint Charles. what exactly do you do

Tom Rasmussen – I’m a real estate broker.  I recently paid $$$ to learn about how to use LinkedIN to grow my business.   I’m still learning.  I’m going to attach a document that I got b4 spending any money that got me started.  Maybe it’ll help you. TheCompleteLinkedINGuide.pdf

Vincente. Rolon, LSSGB – ok Ill look over and if interested get back to you

I know that the purpose of the 4 questions is to get a live call and discuss whether you have a fit. My questions are:

1. I am in real estate. Do I target individuals in centers of influence that are good for real estate? Ie divorce lawyers, Assisted living centers, etc
2. When you get someone to call, how do you transition from their business to real estate? I don’t see the connection
3. In the training you say you control the call. How do you do that when your 4 questions are designed around them, not your business?
4. I am missing the boat on this part.

Should we be using the emails available to us on our connections profiles?

any update on the hotel? I would like to schedule my room? thank you!

from the mindset call yesterday @halle-eavelyn mentioned a ‘Realtor eBook’  I have been unable to find this in the forums.  can you please point me in the correct direction

Secondly, I echo Tom Rasmussen’s comment.  I too am a Realtor and am having difficulty reaching out to engineers (preferred client niche) and getting around to ‘do you want to sell your house?’

Last question, from my study in the program so far … the point of the LinkedIn connection is to get them on the phone.  Great!  Now how do I move from ‘thanks for chatting, I see you’re an aerospace engineer’ to ‘may I market your home for sale?’
