7FF 507: Using “Story” to Connect With Sellers

December 14, 2021

About This Episode

I just wrapped up an amazing interview with April Sunshine Hawkins, a StoryBrand consultant who’s going to be hosting a workshop with our 7 Figure Altitude mastermind group in a few weeks.


This was a REALLY interesting discussion…


And we spent almost an HOUR digging into how to use empathy and storytelling to connect with distressed sellers in your market.


(I don’t know if ANYONE is really doing this effectively yet.)


Listen in now!


On January 12-13, 2022, we’re holding our next 7 Figure Altitude mastermind meeting in Franklin, TN, just outside Nashville.


April is going to join us at the event to break down a very cool 7-part marketing framework that’s going to help us buy WAY more houses over the coming months.


If you want to join us for this event, you still have time.


Head over to 7FigureAltitude.com and fill out a quick application.


My team will get in touch and see if Altitude is a good fit for you right now.


If not, we’ll give you some advice and next steps to help you on your real estate investing journey (no matter where you are at the moment).
