Day 9: Local Business Partnerships – Expand Your Real Estate Reach with Referral Allies

Welcome to Day 9 of the 12x12 Agent Fast Start Challenge! Today, you’ll shift your focus to building strategic alliances with local businesses. These relationships are goldmines for referrals, collaborative promotions, and increased exposure in your community.

This is about more than networking—it’s about building long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships.


Today's Objectives

  • Identify businesses aligned with your services

  • Initiate relationships and propose partnership opportunities

  • Follow up and solidify those partnerships


1. Identify Potential Business Partners

Steps:

  • Research complementary businesses (mortgage brokers, home stagers, movers, contractors)

  • Include service providers your clients often need

  • Create a contact list with business names, points of contact, and partnership value notes

Time Commitment: 1–2 hours

Why It Matters:
Knowing who to approach helps you target businesses that will likely reciprocate, boosting your long-term client pipeline.


2. Reach Out and Build Relationships

Steps:

  • Draft an email or call script explaining who you are and how the partnership could work

  • Reach out via email, phone, or in-person drop-ins

  • Set up a call or meeting to discuss collaboration ideas

  • Propose joint efforts like co-branded flyers, lead exchanges, or shared client incentives

Sample Email Subject: Exploring Partnership Opportunities
“Hi [Name], I’d love to explore how our businesses can support each other. Let’s connect!”

Time Commitment: 3–4 hours

Why It Matters:
These alliances help you reach new prospects through established trust channels and enable cost-effective co-marketing.


3. Follow Up and Solidify Partnerships

Steps:

  • Send thank-you messages to businesses that expressed interest

  • Outline next steps, such as signing a referral agreement or launching a joint campaign

  • Plan one collaboration to kick things off—like a shared workshop or digital promo

  • Set regular check-ins to maintain the relationship

Time Commitment: 1–2 hours

Why It Matters:
Consistency and clear expectations are key to keeping business partnerships alive and productive.
