With the rise of AI, we have a huge advantage over the competition.And not so much with the USE of AI, but in not using it.Handwritten letters are doing better than AI phone calls.In person appointments at the house have a higher closing ratiothan closing over the phone.There's many investors I know all over the country that are going back backto the basics of knowing belly button to belly button will be the mostpowerful tool we have in negotiating a deal, and really building a relationship.We won't close every seller we meet, but think of how many more can be closedbecause we set the appointment, met the seller in person, and built truststronger than anyone else.Same with content.
