1:05-3:57 Intro

3:58-12:37 Intro to Sathish and Pixel Dawg Interactive

12:38-21:21 Best piece of business advice: focus on the customer

• With a coffee shop, customers care more about how the coffee tastes and how quick the drive-thru is than how much skill it took to make the coffee
• Focus on improving your photography, but more importantly, focus on whether your customers are happy
• Agents in smaller areas, such as Pixel Dawg’s and Wow’s markets, are very connected and give referrals
• Strategy for growth: continuing to do good work and marketing
• For Craig, taking care of clients represented them well during the appointment and positioned him as part of their team
• They appreciate when you help sell them to the clients and will help you build your business in return
• Sathish is interested in Spiro because one of his pain points is scheduling; he would like to streamline the experience for both himself and his clients
• You can’t shoot thousands of listings a year and give good customer service without systems and technology
