<div class="bbWrapper">Hey guys. <br /> <br /> Newcomer to forum and book but been focused on creating an entrepreneurial life for sometime now.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m currently pursuing starting a company doing Real Estate Data --(gathering data using analytics for agencies and helping them make business decisions in all fields of their business using this knowledge). I also have WordPress, and Digital Marketing knowledge that I plan to offer(but main focus is data).<br /> <br /> Now I have the name in my mind, I have the logo done and the domain but I haven&#039;t created it yet. I know in the book MJ emphasizes &quot;Look big, act small&quot; and when I get everything running digitally I plan to make the website give off a professional atmosphere while providing A+ customer service. I do have my own portfolio site but it might not look professional.<br /> <br /> So I am in the process right now of calling Real Estate agencies telling them about this service that would benefit them. Can I just call and try to build connections ASAP or is it not even worth it until I have the domain? My worry is if they ask &quot;whats your website&quot;</div>

I see what you mean, I haven&#039;t tested the demand/need specifically with agents. I&#039;ll get a hold of a family friend and post on some forums with realtors to get opinions. That&#039;ll also make it easier to market if I have the perspective of an agent. Thanks for that good question.</div>

Looks like I tried to rush it too soon. Also I just realized I could call the real estate agents just to <b>ASK </b>them if they consider this a good product and if they would use it. It&#039;s a double win for me since if I get 10 wows then I already have them interested, and if not then I got direct confirmation its not needed..</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">wow. I got so much insight on myself from just doing that specifically. I got one person to say &quot;good idea but not for me&quot; while 20 others hung up on me before even listening to me talk after I expressed its for them and I am not selling anything. Shows how you can read books on influence/sales but putting it into practice is like going from minor league to hall of fame.</div>

Most are extremely busy. Try cold emails and follow up with people who are interested with a phone call. <br /> <br /> I&#039;d also start reading blogs by and for real estate agents so you can better understand what they do on a daily basis, what tools they use, which tools they hate or what they&#039;d like to improve. I bet there are many such blogs with people clearly saying what they don&#039;t like about a specific service they&#039;re using.<br /> <br /> Other than that, heed <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/12219/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="12219" data-username="@jon.a">@jon.a</a>&#039;s advice. If you aren&#039;t a realtor, you absolutely need to talk with some real estate agents and understand their profession. Otherwise it&#039;s extremely unlikely you&#039;ll create something they&#039;d find useful.</div>
