### “Believe me. I have seen a lot of different marketing programs out there, and I tell you what... One of the best, unique branding things that I've ever come across is Smart Agents and their books.”

Raymond has been a licensed Realtor since 1984. He keeps an assortment of books in a plastic storage container in his car so he’s always ready to give them out at a moment’s notice.

*“Wherever I go, I drop them off. I don't care if I'm getting my oil changed. Wherever there's waiting room, I'm dropping them off.”*

 

 

He also uses them in place of business cards at all of his open houses and sends them to out-of-state clients.  

*“I send them a book to kind of break the ice with them, as well as all my internet leads. This is just a great ice-breaker, and it's a unique branding method for the type of marketing that I want to come across as a powerhouse of knowledge in the field.”*

Raymond recently had a retired couple call him after they read one of his books while waiting to get their brakes checked.  **He’s now listing their home.**

*"People love them, and when I give them a book, I can immediately see that I just went from 'just another agent' to one that is an 'authority.' Everyone and their uncle is a Realtor nowadays. This gives me the edge."*

Raymond also recently went to get an oil change, where he started talking with the shop manager, who was looking to move closer to work, so he gave him a book.

*"So that could be a listing and a buyer in my town sale. You just never know where it leads you."*

To anyone on the fence about trying Smart Agents books, Raymond says: 

*"Just do it…There are many Facebook ads out there promising this and that with their training and tricks…**This works. Period!** Just get 100 books and start handing them out like I have, and you’ll be amazed at the results."*
