The Referral Pipeline.How to become the agent U.S. Realtors send their clients to.

Every U.S. agent has a database. Inside it are clients who are going to buy in Mexico. When they ask their agent, “Who do you know in Cancún?”, there should be one name. Yours.

The opportunity

Your next buyer is already in a U.S. agent’s phone.

Americans who buy in Mexico rarely start with a search. They start with a question to the agent they already trust back home. That agent wants to look good, protect the client, and get paid. Most of them do not know a single agent in Cancún they would stake their name on.

That is the gap. This session shows you how to fill it, on purpose, with a system you can run every week.

In the States

The agent’s database

Past clients, friends and family. Hundreds of people who trust one agent with every real estate question.

The moment

“Who do you know in Cancún?”

A client mentions a condo, a second home, a retirement plan. The agent reaches for a name they trust.

In Cancún

You

You get the introduction. You serve the client. The U.S. agent looks like a hero and sends the next one.

What you will learn

A referral business is built. Here is how.

  • How U.S. agents choose a referral partner

    What they look for, what makes them nervous, and why most referrals never get sent at all.

  • The 12:2 formula

    The math behind BUILT.: 12 relationships produce 2 transactions a year. You will apply it to relationships with U.S. agents.

  • Who to build relationships with first

    How to build a focused list of U.S. agents you have a real reason to know, instead of chasing everyone.

  • What to say

    Plain language for the first conversation, so it sounds like a professional introduction and not a pitch.

  • Follow-up that gets you remembered

    A rhythm that is scheduled, consistent and personal, so your name is the one that comes up.

  • How to make referring you feel safe

    The agreement, the updates, and the client experience that make a U.S. agent send you the second referral.

Who should be in the room

An invited room of Cancún’s top agents and brokers.

This is not an open event. Every person in the room was chosen by the hosts for their production and their reputation. There is no charge to attend.

This is for you if

  • You were personally invited by Omar, Jacqueline or Ben.
  • You work with international buyers, or you want to.
  • You are tired of paying for leads who do not know you.
  • You want clients who arrive already trusting you.
  • You will do simple, consistent work every week.

This is not for you if

  • You want a script that works without a relationship.
  • You are looking for a shortcut or a secret.
  • You will not follow up.

As President of MAPS Coaching at Keller Williams, Shon led one of the largest real estate coaching organizations in the United States. He went on to found ICON Coaching, where he works directly with agents, team leaders and broker owners on the one thing that moves production: relationships, worked on a system.

Questions

Before you register.

What language is the session in?

English. The full session is presented in English, with no interpretation.

Do I need to already have U.S. referral partners?

No. The session starts from zero and shows you who to build relationships with first. If you already receive referrals, you will leave with a system to get more of them, more often.

Can I bring a colleague?

The room is by invitation only. If you know a top agent or broker who should be there, tell the person who invited you and they will take care of it.

What does it cost?

Nothing. There is no charge for invited guests. We ask one thing: if you reserve a seat, show up.

What should I bring?

Something to write with, your phone, and your current list of U.S. contacts, even if it is short. You will use it in the room.
