Day 11: Networking at Local Meetups – Turn Conversations into Real Estate Referrals

Theme: Build Referral Relationships, Not Just Leads

Welcome to Day 11 of the 12x12 Agent Fast Start Challenge! Today, you’re stepping into strategic conversations—not to land immediate clients, but to build connections that turn into referrals. You’ll focus on meeting connectors—people who know others that might need your real estate expertise.


Today’s Focus

  • Attend 2–3 networking or hobby-based events

  • Create referral-focused conversations

  • Deliver a compelling mini pitch at meetups

  • Follow up with high-potential connections


1. Attend Networking or Hobby-Based Meetups

Use platforms like Meetup, Eventbrite, BNI, Chamber of Commerce, or local Facebook event listings to find:

  • Business networking breakfasts

  • Mid-day entrepreneur or industry mixers

  • Hobby events: gardening clubs, fitness classes, art workshops

Your goal is to meet influencers within small communities—people whose word others trust.

Bonus Tip: Show up where you’re most comfortable. When you’re enjoying yourself, your authenticity attracts better conversations.


2. Build Relationships for Referrals

Shift Your Mindset: You’re not trying to sell. You’re helping the people your new contact knows.

How to Connect:

  • Ask about their business, passions, or what brought them there

  • Be naturally curious

  • When they ask what you do, reply with:

    “I help homeowners build generational wealth and legacy through real estate.”

Let it resonate. If they’re intrigued, explain more.


3. Deliver a Powerful Mini Pitch

If you’re given the mic at a networking group for 30–60 seconds, say this:

“Hi, I’m [Your Name]. I help homeowners build generational wealth and legacy through real estate.
I host free workshops to show people the top 10 things they can do to prepare their home to sell—so they walk away with the biggest down payment possible for their next property.
If you know anyone thinking about selling in the next 6–12 months, I’d love to invite them to this Friday’s workshop. Come see me after if someone popped into your mind!”

Then pause and smile. You’ll be surprised how many approach you afterward.


4. Follow Up and Add to CRM

Anyone who:

  • Nodded during your pitch

  • Asked about your workshop

  • Mentioned they know someone

Follow up like this:

“Hey [Name], great chatting with you at [Event Name]! Here’s the workshop link I mentioned: [Insert Link]. Feel free to share it with anyone who might benefit!”

Then:

  • Connect on social

  • Add them to your CRM

  • Tag them as a potential referral partner


Daily Summary

  • Attend 2+ events

  • Use your 60-second pitch if prompted

  • Connect with 10+ attendees

  • Follow up with referral-minded contacts

Time Commitment: 4–6 hours


Morning Tasks

  • Call new Facebook leads

  • Respond to previous day’s DMs

Evening Tasks

  • Call leads who didn’t respond earlier

  • Follow up with all event contacts


Coming Up: The Workshop

You’ve created buzz—now it’s time to deliver. Tomorrow, you’ll host your workshop and share your knowledge with potential sellers.

Get ready for Day 12: Hosting the Real Estate Workshop.
