Ever heard of Ben Kinney? I thought so.
Ben is a leader within the Keller Williams organization, speaking in front of tens of thousands of agents per year at events like Family Reunion and MegaCamp.
His involvement as a speaker with ActiveRain’s RainCamp is what made it a hit.
He self launched IMSD (Internet Marketing Specialist Designation) which has become very popular, very quickly, the content of the classes get rave reviews from the agents who have completed the course.
Bottom line, Ben is literally everywhere yet somehow he still managed to do this:
#99. Ben Kinney | Keller Williams | $64,738,184
Per the Wall Street Journal, Ben in 2010 ran the 99th most successful real estate team by sales volume in the country.
To put that in perspective there are more than 1 million active real estate licenses in the United States currently.
We invited Ben to present earlier this year at Agent Reboot in San Francisco on a topic that we know is near and dear to many of your hearts.
Dollars and Sense: Knowing Where To Spend and When To Save
In this class Ben teaches you how to go from zero budget and zero business to the level that he is at today using a practical, step by step approach.
He answers things like:
What marketing expenses are a complete waste of money?
Which expenses have had the best ROI for him (online, offline, search, social etc)?
Who do you hire first when you start to grow?
What do you pay an assistant? Buyers agent? Virtual assistant?
Interestingly as Ben presented I sat in the audience thinking to myself, “is he teaching the agents in this room about budgets or is he actually doing something much more important? Showing the entire industry that the “business model of the future” we hear so much about is already here”.
Your business in 2012 will increase because you watched this.
Please share accordingly!
Note: Agent Reboot will kick off the 2012 tour in New York City on January 10th.

not sure why but the sound is so low on this I can barely hear it

Ben Kinney has some great information. I loved the presentation. The other downside is, I could not hear it well at all. I have the volume cranked all of the way up and I still had to read his lips a little.

We are working on cranking the volume up sorry!

Ben Kinney is a great successful real estate mind for sure. The future of the industry is to empower the seller. The industry as we know it is dying…stay tuned.

Great info but could not hear it very good.

Ben, Absolutely brilliant! I hear so much about this magic pill and that magic pill. You actually talk about core business principles. Hard work and accountability, you csn’t buy that in an app! Thank you for sharing!

Great info Ben and Chris!!! The video is truly enlightening and up to the mark! Manner of presentation was downright professional and according to market demand. I have been reading a book titled REO Boom ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193666156X?ie=UTF8&tag=rb0b4-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=193666156X) that shared some valuable information and I was looking for bit more handy information like the one you just shared with us all! its great !

I would like to find a team (office) that has immplemented this model in Miami. I’ve always believed in team work for Real Estate. I like to the level that Ben has taken it! Thanks!

Can’t hear it!!!

Despite the sound quality, another great presentation. I really liked Ben’s simple math. Great job.

Ben always provides simple, effective, and repeatable ideas that we can implement ourselves…regardless if we are a one-person team or have a bunch of folks working for us. Great video!

Great presentation. Very simple and straight forward recommendations. Thanks!

Ben & Chris I just watched this and I totally loved it. The part about the letters the man wrote to his wife and children was awesome. It hit home much more that I want to admit. The 2 agents calling each others SOI was a lighting bolt of awareness.
Thank you two for doing this.
