In this episode, Rob sits down to speak to Sam Watterson the owner of Watts & Co, a Leeds-based Lettings and Property Investment Agency. He is a landlord himself, a podcaster and a mentor that teaches people how to invest in and run all kinds of property businesses. Sam explains how having systems in place and automating as much as possible has enabled his business to grow fast.



He explains what a CRM is and how property developers can use it. As well as sharing how he uses Zapier and If This Then That (IFTT) and explaining what tools you need to get started with automating your business.





KEY TAKEAWAYS


A lot of businesses have a CRM system but don´t link it up to automate text messages or emails.
You make your money when you are face-to-face selling not when you are doing admin.
Link trees are a powerful way to share past projects and other things potential investors are interested in.
As soon as you have to do something twice, automate it.
Using an Open CRM makes it extremely easy to link it up to your other tech,
Zapier is ideal for linking two pieces of software together and using IFTT.
If you want to scale automate.
Let your system do the heavy lifting.
When you systemise and automate, you make fewer mistakes, which results in your client having a better experience.



BEST MOMENTS

‘When it comes to technology, a lot of people barely scratch the surface.’

‘Having a CRM system that is customisable and links with all of your other apps is invaluable.’

‘Start small with the fundamental brains of the operation.’

‘Being a technophobe is not an excuse. You are in business to make money.’
