A large share of business is supposed to come from past clients and sphere. Everyone knows what actually happens. You close in March, send the closing gift, mean to check in over the summer, and then it is two years later and their sister bought in Weston through someone else in the office. Nothing went wrong. You were simply not the name in the room.
Referral business is not a relationship problem for most agents — it is a frequency problem. The client who liked you fine two years ago has to hear from you a handful of times a year to still be the default answer now. Doing that by hand across three hundred past clients is a part-time job nobody has, so most agents settle for a newsletter that goes to spam. The middle option is scheduled voice and text touches that run on their own.
A referral cadence is built around dates already in your database. The closing anniversary is the obvious one, and the most natural call anyone gets from an agent. An annual equity check-in — what the property has done since they bought, what similar units are closing at — gives you a reason to call that is about them. Add a touch at the start of season and one after it and you have four or five contacts a year a past client is glad to take, placed on schedule, with what was said logged so you never start cold.
The ask is awkward mainly because agents make it a blunt request at a random moment. The AI asks in context, at the end of a conversation that had another purpose: whether anyone they know is thinking about a move this year, whether the family member they mentioned last time ever decided about downsizing. When the answer produces a name, the call is tagged as a referral, the record is flagged, and you get the alert while it is still fresh — not in a weekly report.
Speed is where referrals die. A past client gives your name to a friend, the friend waits a week, and by then they have talked to two other agents. Handled properly the referral becomes its own CRM contact with the source attached to whoever gave it, an outbound call goes out fast, and the referring client gets a thank-you touch — the most reliable way to earn a second referral from the same person. Inbound calls are answered around the clock, and a missed call triggers a text back instead of a voicemail nobody checks.
Common practice is four to a dozen meaningful touches a year across mixed channels. What matters more than the number is that they are scheduled and consistent rather than remembered in bursts.
Something about their property or their neighborhood. The closing anniversary and an annual equity or market update are both genuinely about them, which is why they get answered.
It can ask the question you write, at the point you choose, and record the answer. Whether it lands depends on the script and the relationship, which is why the script is yours and we build it with you.
Yes, provided you can export it. Past clients and sphere are imported, segmented by relationship and close date, and put on the cadence. See CRM integrations.
A newsletter broadcasts and hopes. A voice touch is a conversation with an outcome — an answer, a tag, sometimes a name. Only one of them tells you a past client's brother is moving to Coral Gables in the spring.
