Episode Full Show Notes

[00:00:05.700] – Robert Newman

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to episode 455 of the Mailright Show today. We are ecstatic and blessed to have a guest with us. Steve, we’ve been very particular over the last year about the people we allow on the show. So today’s guest is Steve Shuhl. I’m not sure, and this is my wrong; I wonder if you’re the founder or if you merely work for performance coaching. You could start there.

[00:00:40.490] – Steve Shull

I am the founder.

[00:00:43.210] – Robert Newman

Okay. So you’re the founder of performance coaching, and the subject that we decided to talk about today was how realtors can still get a complete 6% in a challenging market. Before we go any further, Steve, why not introduce yourself to our audience and explain why you feel you can give advice that would get that result?

[00:01:07.530] – Steve Shull

Awesome. Again, thank you for having me. Again, my name is Steve Shoal. I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I attended the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, on a football scholarship. From there, I had the good fortune of playing four years in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins, playing under Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history, and a knee injury ended my career. From there, I went back on an MBA at the University of Miami. From there, I went to Wall Street, spent five years on Wall Street, and worked for Solomon Brothers as a fixed-income institutional salesperson. Then, in 1991, I changed everything in my life and I moved from the East Coast to the West Coast, moved out to Southern California, and started selling residential real estate in 1991. With a partner in my first year, we closed 53 transactions. And then, in my second year, I was on track to close 100 transactions Connections. And I went to a gentleman, Mike Ferry, who was putting on real estate seminars at the time that I had been attending, came to Mike with the idea of starting a real estate coaching program.

[00:02:45.750] – Steve Shull

And Mike liked the idea. And in 1993, we launched the first real estate coaching program in the country, in the world, whatever. And I’ve done that ever since. I went out on my own in 1996 for performance coaching in 2007 and opened up with two partners. My brokerage, TELUS Properties, was there for five years. That brokerage ultimately sold to Douglas Element. And here we are in 2024. I’ve been coaching for 32 years. I’ve logged over 60,000 hours of one-on-one coaching. I can safely say I’ve coached more real estate agents than anyone on Earth, and I’m here today.

[00:03:45.870] – Robert Newman

Copy you. Well, we’re overjoyed to have you, Steve. Your history makes you a legend, for sure. Just the fact that you were there with Mike before his son Tom split off and became the guy that he is is astounding. And for those who missed that, I referenced Tom Ferry, who is Mike Ferry’s son, for all of you following along. All right, John, why don’t you introduce yourself? A hard act to follow. I’m going to go last.

[00:04:14.610] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, sure. Thanks, Rob. I’m the joint founder of mail-right. Com. We are a digital lead platform for real estate agents who want to do their campaigns, or we can do their campaigns. It’s a CRM, an email text platform. We also produce a fantastic-looking website for our agents. Back over to you, Rob.

[00:04:45.030] – Robert Newman

It’s funny, Steve because I usually get to say on every single podcast that I am the most experienced SEO guy in the US because I still, to this very day, talk to three or four real estate professionals every single day. And I’ve been doing it for 16 years. That’s only half as much time as you’ve been doing it. I am no longer the most experienced anything. I may know more about SEO, but I have yet to talk to more real estate agents and have not logged 60,000 hours. You win the prize, my friend. Thank you for this particular session. You feel like you’ve got some good advice, and it sounds like you would have some great advice. So why don’t we dig into it? John, why don’t you lead us off since you’re the one who did the show notes?

[00:05:36.270] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, thanks. Thanks, Rob. So Steve, after you agreed to come to the show, I watched some of your previous and recent interviews. You did an interview on a panel show about a year ago, and one of the topics was how you prove your value. I think it was around when you were discussing when you do a presentation, and I think you used a concept… Use a specific concept about you being the apparent choice when presenting.

[00:06:23.610] – Steve Shull

Yeah, I thought it had always been my favorite.

[00:06:24.560] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, the favorite. That was the concept that you used. And then it got around And that concept led into really proving that you can get your full 6 %. And you were quite passionate in some of your statements in that panel show around getting that 6 % and the process of proving your value around that. So I just wondered if you’ve had any more thoughts about that particular concept, because everything that’s occurred afterwards, there’s a lot of agents that are very concerned about them not being able to get anything like that because of all the changes in the industry. Like I said, I don’t know if you got any new thoughts about what you stated during that roundtable.

 

[00:07:24.190] – Steve Shull

Yeah, absolutely. Along with Chris Voss, who’s a former FBI hostage negotiator, and Chris wrote the book, Never Split the Difference, which I’m sure a lot of your listeners may have read. And I hooked up with Chris a little over eight years ago when I read that book because everything in that book, everything about hostage negotiations, applies to the world of real estate. And we adapted all of his material into the real estate world. And one of the concepts that we talk about is the favorite or the fool. And the entire real estate industry, and this is where what we do is very different from the rest of the real estate training world. The entire real estate industry is built on a false premise. And that false premise is that you win or lose business, a) based on your value proposition position and b) on your ability to articulate your value to a potential seller or a potential buyer. That’s not how it actually happens. When that seller calls you up, the call that every real estate agent wants to get, hi, we’re thinking about selling our home and we’d like you to come out and talk to us.

 

[00:08:53.490] – Steve Shull

When you get that phone call, that seller already knows who they’re going to list their home with or they’re leaning strongly in a direction. And so they have a favorite. Now, it’s not 100 % of the time when you’re the favorite, you have an 80 % chance or better of getting that listing. When you’re the fool in the game, you have a 20 % chance or less of getting that listing. So what we’re coaching agents to do is find out, am I the favorite or am I the And in a 15 minute Zoom call or phone call, you can get to that outcome. You can find out whether you indeed are the favorite, you’re the person they want to work with or you’re the fool in the game. It’s not about telling them all the things you’re going to do for them. It has nothing to do with anything. And the kicker here getting to your question, when you’re the favorite, when you’re the favorite, they’re going to pay you what your fee They’re going to pay you what your fee because they want to work with you. And it’s based on trust, not value.

 

[00:10:10.040] – Steve Shull

And this is where, again, agents go down the wrong path when all they’re trying to do is preach their value and convince people with what they’re going to do. It’s not about value. It’s about trust. And people pay a lot more for trust than value. And so when I know I’m the favorite, when I find out I’m the favorite, then I know, again, it’s not 100 %. It’s not a guarantee. They’re going to pay my full fee. They may push back once. They may push back twice. However, there’s a difference. They’re only fishing. They’re only making sure that they’re not leaving any money on the table. When you’re the fool in the game and they bring up the commission objection, they’re going to try and make you wrong. You have to be able to hear, are they just fishing for why you cost more, or are they trying to make you wrong for why you charge more? There’s a big difference. And now we wrote this book before the NAR settlement. Now, the way I view this, and this is not polyam in any way, shape or form, everything that’s happened since the NAR settlement is really an opportunity for agents to get a pay raise, whereas most agents think they’re going to get a pay cut in this new environment.

 

[00:11:39.380] – Steve Shull

Look at it very differently. Pre-nar, the way it’s always been, the whole system bought into this 5 to 6% range on commissions, and 90% of the agents probably were charging somewhere between five and six. Obviously, it’s been going down and down and down. And everyone just accepted that’s the way it is. The most you’re going to get is six. And the average would be five. And Obviously, some people would work for less than five. What the NAR settlement did, it basically decoupled the commissions. In essence, the seller is going to pay their agent, the listing agent, And the buyer is going to pay their agent, the buyer’s agent. And now you’re free to charge whatever you want. You’re not confined by this five to six %. Now, most agents act like they’re still part of that system. However, they’re not. They’re doing that to themselves. And for the longest period of time, the agents I work with when they were when we were charged, they were charging six %. They were keeping three and a half on the on the listing side, offering two and a half on the buy side. Now, as a listing agent, my fee is going to be three and a half % on the listing side or more.

 

[00:13:19.410] – Steve Shull

There’s nothing to stop an agent from charging more. And oh, by the way, the reason I say this is an opportunity for a pay raise, most sellers are used to hearing Earning five or six %. When you say to them, my fee is three and a half or my fee is four %, that’s not going to shock them. That’s not going to shock them. So A, on the listing side, three and a half minimum and on the buy side, three % minimum. So now if I’m a top agent, I’m looking at if I understand what I’m doing, I can be earning six, six and a half %. And the agents we work with, they get this consistently. It’s a standard. It’s what they charge everyone. And so that’s why I look at this as an opportunity to get a pay raise.

 

[00:14:17.920] – Jonathan Denwood

There’s a lot of… There’s many questions, but I’m going to ask Robert to come in. So what’s your response to that, Robert?

 

[00:14:29.910] – Robert Newman

My response is everybody has to wait for my response for exactly 30 seconds while we go to break. And when we come back, I’m going to dig into some of the many points that Steve touched on in his commentary. We’ll be right back. Three, two, one. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. It is episode number 455. If you missed the first half of the show, let me tell you, Steve is already demonstrating why he coaches the best of the best inside the real estate industry. He was explaining how basically, the way that I interpreted it, was numbers is a mindset. Every time you break free or the standard gets shaken, top agents will figure out ways to make more, not less. Jonathan, just so that you know, I agree with that. It’s been my experience. You have a large amount. Let’s see if you agree with these numbers. Steve, I think you have 20 or 30 % of the bottom performers that will probably end up surrendering their licenses. I think you have probably 20 to 30 % of the top realtors that will make more through this opportunity. They’ll figure out ways to… You use the language uncoupling from the system that NAR put in place.

 

[00:15:45.660] – Robert Newman

I just think that they’ll look at all the shakeup as an opportunity to figure out ways to make more money doing what they probably already did well.

 

[00:15:58.070] – Steve Shull

Yeah, change is always the seed of growth. And this is a massive change. This is a massive change for everyone. And a lot of people are just looking at, they’ve already resigned themselves to making less. However, that’s self-imposed. They are doing it to themselves. No one’s doing it to them. And as a real estate professional, no one’s ever going to understand your job. Everyone thinks you’re overpaid. Everyone thinks they could do your job better than you. They just don’t have the time or they’re not inclined to do so. And everyone is always reaching into your pocket. And not only do they reach into your pocket, they think they’re entitled to reach into your pocket. And so it may be my biggest passion as a real estate coach, that is getting you paid what you’re worth. And you can absolutely get paid what you’re worth, assuming you do the work. You’ve got to back it up. You’ve got to be competent. You’ve got to be trustworthy. You’ve got to be a straight shooter. But if you put in the work, you can absolutely get paid a full fee in this environment.

 

[00:17:19.690] – Robert Newman

Yeah. So, John, I know you served it up and probably you would think I was going to give Steve a Robert special in terms of a question, but to be honest with you, he’s doing stuff that I would say, Anyway, I’m going to revert to a Warren Buffet quote. Be greedy when other people are running or retreating, and be conservative and cautious when other people are being greedy. And this is one of those moments for real estate. I’ve been saying it a long time in certain ways on the show, desperately, anxiously awaiting the real estate slowdown that has been headed our direction for years now because, one, the real estate market needs an adjustment. Two, the real estate sales force needs to be trimmed, not because I have anything against realtors, but because there are people that are not treating it with the level of sincerity and dedication that they should be that have real estate licenses, and they will get shaken out of the business. Three, the opportunity will be greater for true professionals who take everything with a high degree of pride, like trust. That’s what I heard What does Steve say. Did I get you wrong?

 

[00:18:31.610] – Robert Newman

Trust is a big thing, right?

 

[00:18:34.880] – Steve Shull

Again, my coaching has evolved over 32 years. When I started out, again, I was new to real estate. I had moved from the East Coast to the West Coast. I didn’t know anyone. I didn’t know anything. I was the classic person starting literally at ground zero. What What I benefited from in the beginning was one, getting coaching in terms of the seminars I was going to. And as a former athlete, I understood what it meant to be coachable. So when I got into this business, what I was told, simple things. You have four choices. You have four ways of making contact. Cold call, door knock, expired listings for sale by owners. That was it. You have to do one of those four things. Those were the four choices I was given. I wasn’t going to cold call and for sale by owners didn’t seem I just didn’t vibe with it at all. By default, it was knock on doors and expired listings. And I knocked on 200 doors a day and I called every expired listing every day in 14 different cities. So I was literally spending a minimum of 4 to 5 hours every day prospecting and following up.

 

[00:20:06.820] – Steve Shull

Back in 1991, CRMs did not exist. Top producer wasn’t around. There was nothing. I had to hire a computer programmer paying them $10,000 to create a CRM like program. And that’s what we did. And every lead went in there and we created a system and followed up on every single lead. And again, from playing football, I knew what it meant to be coachable. You do what you’re supposed to do. And it’s not about liking it. You talked about realtors leaving the business. There’s another category where they quit and don’t leave. And that takes up another big segment of the market. They don’t leave physically, but they’ve given up. And And so another book that I wrote is called Real Estate is not Rocket Science. I call it that because guess what? It’s not rocket science. It’s not rocket science. The way I got into real estate, I heard an interview that Mike Ferry was doing with two agents in Long Beach, California, Kim and Darryl Rouse. And they were in their second year of business and they were doing 100 deals. So I was listening, what are they doing? And what I got out of that interview is real estate is a progression.

 

[00:21:38.740] – Steve Shull

Contacts equal leads, leads, equal appointments, appointments, equal listings, listings equal sales. That made perfect sense to me. And so that’s why I went out. And the thing I was told, again, back then, I was fortunate because Mike Ferry had this thing, if you didn’t do 50 deals a year, you were worthless. You were worthless. In my head, I had to do 50 deals a year. In order to do 50 deals a year, you had to talk to 50 people a day. It was all very straightforward. So that’s why 200 doors a day. That’s why I was calling expired listings. The goal was to make 50 contacts a day. And again, this is completely by coincidence. I ended up closing 53 deals in that first year in a market that was so horrible. If you could get something sold in 90 days, that was a miracle. Here I am, a rookie. Imagine this first year in real estate, 40 listings, no escrows. That’s how different the market is, especially from today. Anyway, the story here, in the beginning, it was all about prospecting. It was all about lead generation, lead conversion. Where my coaching has evolved to today, it’s all about building a repeat and referral business.

 

[00:23:10.140] – Steve Shull

So in the beginning, most people have to lead generate. You have to do it. You have to figure out how you’re going to make contact. And again, there aren’t that many ways. You can cold call, you can door knock, expired for sale by owners, open house, network, marketing. There are only so many different ways to generate leads. You’ve got to figure out what you’re going to do, and that’s up to you. There’s no one size fits all. However, now where the coaching is evolved to is making sure that all everything goes in your CRM and CRM is very simple. There’s three parts to CRM, get the right people in, organized, grouped and tagged in the right way. There’s It’s four main groups, active clients, leads, past clients, sphere of influence. And there’s definitions for each group. You get the right people in, get them set up on the right cadence. And then you got to make your calls every day. Again, this is not rocket science. And in order to do that, you have to time block out your CRM time every day, minimum one hour. And so that’s what we coach people on building a repeat and referral business, staying in touch every 90 days, reaching out by phone or in person.

 

[00:24:40.180] – Steve Shull

You can follow up with text. You can follow up with email. It’s still a people business. You still have to talk to people. And going back to what you brought up, what you’re working to do every day is to position yourself as a trusted advisor. And what that means means is you put your client’s interest first. When I teamed up with Chris Voss, the methodology that they had come up with in the hostage negotiation world was called tactical empathy. And tactical empathy is the skill of influencing others by articulating what they’re thinking and feeling. What that means is making people feel understood. And this is the missing piece in all of sales. You get a lot of training about how to understand someone, how to ask questions, how to find out what’s going on. However, there’s a missing piece. Once you understand what’s going on, then you have to make them feel understood. And the way you make them feel understood is by labeling back to them what they’re thinking and feeling. It sounds It’s like, it seems like, it feels like, you’re probably thinking, you’re probably feeling. So there’s a way of labeling back so they get that you get what they’re thinking and feeling.

 

[00:26:15.260] – Robert Newman

And so we call that mirroring. But I understand what you’re saying.

 

[00:26:20.210] – Steve Shull

And mirroring is one of the tools that we use in tactical empathy. Now, again, we’re not trying to manipulate people to our advantage. That’s not what this is all about. Tactical empathy is about making people feel understood. What we’re trying to do is uncover the truth. Am I the favorite or am I the fool in the game? And the way we do that, we have a little framework that we go by. One, is there a deal here? That’s the first thing we’re trying to figure out. Is there a deal here? Secondly, is Is there a deal here with me? And third, do I want this deal? And within this framework, there’s a progression of questions, labels, different tools in the tactical empathy toolbox that we’re going to ask to uncover what’s true. Again, we’re not trying to convince anybody of anything. I’m not trying to get someone to do business with me. I’m finding out who Who wants to do business with me? And again. You can do this on by phone or on a Zoom call in roughly 15 minutes or less. Nothing magical about the 15 minute mark. However, the agents we coach, they do not go on listing appointments.

 

[00:27:50.960] – Steve Shull

Right now, when you get a call, the call I mentioned earlier, you’re thinking of selling our home, we’d like you to talk to us. You say, great, you set an appointment Then you’re going to spend 2 hours minimum preparing for that appointment. You’re going to drive out to the house. You’re going to take a tour of the home. Then you’re going to sit down there in the living room. You’re going to take out your presentation and you’re going to spend an hour to 2 hours going through your presentation, either formally or informally. After that two hour meeting, they’re going to say to you, wow, you’ve given us so much to think about. Let us get back On the way back, you don’t know, did I get it? Did I not get it? You’re replaying the whole meeting. I should have said this. I should have said that. You’re on pins and needles for 24, 48, 72 hours. Then your phone rings. You see it’s them. Your heart starts beating. Oh, my goodness. They get you on the phone. They say, Steve, you did a really tremendous job. You gave us so much to think about.

 

[00:29:04.350] – Steve Shull

However, we’re going to go in a different direction. And your heart stops and you feel defeated. You can barely say thank you and hang up the phone. We could have saved all of that and gotten to that same conclusion in 15 minutes or the opposite conclusion. You got the listing.

 

[00:29:28.270] – Robert Newman

So I agree I’m with you, but Steve, I’m going to have you put a pin in it really quick because we break this show into segments. We’ve done 30 minutes. We’re going to do 10 bonus minutes. If you’d like to continue on to the subject, we can definitely do that in the bonus section, assuming that you sign up with us for the extra 10 minutes because we’re going to post it to our YouTube channel. Yeah, you’re good? All right. John, I’m going to ask for a small favor, Steve. You’ve been going down this path with the response for for a listing point, which I think is great. I think it’s a great piece of information. But I would like to give John… John does all the donkey work for the show. He does a lot of research. He probably watched a couple of hours of your video, so he’s probably got a few things prepared that he may want to ask before the show ends. So if you don’t mind, I would just like to give him that opportunity to ask any remaining questions and give you a chance to respond. Is that okay?

 

[00:30:25.090] – Steve Shull

You got it.

 

[00:30:26.020] – Robert Newman

All right, John.

 

[00:30:27.690] – Jonathan Denwood

You answered one of the questions, which is finding out if you’re the favorite or the fool. What’s your opinion of how all clients are different? But in general, based on your experience, what are the key factors that in the client’s mind makes the agent the favorite?

 

[00:30:59.270] – Steve Shull

Great question. Based on the work that Chris Voss did, we break people down into three types: the assertive, the accommodator, and the analyst. And most real estate agents are accommodators. They’re people-pleasers. An accommodator is someone who puts relationship first. The assertive is the bottom line guy. And the analyst, it’s all about data. And so it’s important that you understand who you are and what your style of communication is, because if you really want to be effective with a client, you need to be able to adapt what you’re saying to how they hear things. So you can read based on responses, is someone an accommodator? Are they an analyst? Are they an assertive? And adapt how you communicate to them. Because, again, what’s important is making them feel understood. And what’s going to make them feel more understood is speaking their language. The accommodator speaks the language of hope. The assertive, it’s all about respect. And the analyst, it’s all about the numbers. So knowing who you’re speaking with gives you an idea of how to tailor your communication communication to that person.

 

[00:32:34.250] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, I think they’re great points, but I might be being a little bit slow here, but are you saying that the agent, they communicate in one of those styles and through their website, through their social media, through all the marketing mediums, when they’re meeting people at events, they’ve got one of those communication styles, and that’s what they attract similar possible clients because of their communication style. Is that what you’re saying?

 

[00:33:11.800] – Steve Shull

What I’m saying is you want to be able to do business with everyone. And you need to understand your personality type, because if we just say there’s three basic types, that means two thirds of the world is not the same type you are. They’re going to hear information in a different way. And the beautiful thing about tactical empathy, it’s not a business thing. It’s a life thing. It’s a way of communicating. Making people feel understood is something you can practice all the time in every conversation with the kids at home, with your spouse, your partner, whomever, work associate, work associate in business. It’s a way of communicating that focuses on making it always about the other person, always making it about them. In fact, what you want to do to be the most effective communicator is you want to take yourself out of the equation altogether. It’s not about what you want and need. It’s always about what they want and need. And when you’re able to do that, when you’re able to detach your needs, your wants from any interaction with anyone, that’s going to build that trust that we talked we talked about earlier.

 

[00:34:30.880] – Steve Shull

And ultimately, that’s what’s going to end up resulting in more business.

 

[00:34:40.010] – Jonathan Denwood

But I have it here, Rob.

 

[00:34:42.430] – Robert Newman

So we’re going to head towards a windup. And when we do, Steve, we’re going to ask you for some contact information. I’m just going to give a very brief synopsis of what I heard you say, but I am going to move it slightly out of the territory that you’ve been talking about it in. Our show and our focus is oftentimes on discussions surrounding digital, and you are very much a traditionalist, which so that you know, my personal history is 100 % everything that you said. I’ve knocked on tens of thousands of doors. I did so for ADT among many, many contracts. I’ve done massive amounts of cold calling. And in the last part of my career here, I’ve moved into inbound marketing, mostly because I did so much cold calling and so much door knocking. I just got a little bit tired of it. So I moved. I shifted as technology caught up to my my philosophy, which is a Zigler thing. If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll always get what you want. I moved that skill set into digital. I moved it into answering really important questions for people. And you’ve been talking a lot about tone, and personality types and things like that.

 

[00:35:47.470] – Robert Newman

So, for those of you listening to the show who are long-time listeners, I will say this: when you decide on a persona online, which I decided long ago, I’m just going to be myself, Steve. I’m not anybody else. I’m just me. And so I’m a fast talker. I’m much younger than I look. And so I gravitate. The people that call me tend to be younger, tech-savvy people.
But interestingly, my experience is more towards Mike Ferry. I am much more inclined to talk to a Mike Ferry guy than I am to most other people because when somebody tells me I’m on the phone four hours a day, God, do I ever get that? So, for those listening, decide on a persona and then speak to that persona on your social media. My advice is not to try to be all things in one to everybody. Be one thing and decide, and you’ll appeal to that market segment. But digital is vast, unlike picking up a list and calling 50, 60, 70, 80, or 100 names. It’s vast. It’s 10,000 people, 100,000 people, 1 million people.

A single video can speak to God knows how many people. But the only people who will call you are those who automatically gravitate to your particular tone and personality type. That’s been my experience, at least. So thank you so much for coming on to the show, Steve. Undoubtedly, we still need to gain the voice of experience on the show, especially regarding great traditional sales wisdom. There’s nothing that will ever stop a determined sales salesperson from making money. All you got to do is Tom Hopkins used to call it get belly to belly. You’re calling it something different. Everybody had some way of saying it. But, if you have the drive to get in front of people, you can sell it, full stop. If you want to knock on doors, it’ll work today, just like 20 years ago. The numbers might be slightly higher because of the way that people answer doors and rings and stuff like that. But it doesn’t matter. If you’re determined to go out and knock on doors, you will make some money.

How would you like people- The thing I would… Sorry to butt in a little bit. You can take everything I say and adapt it to digital, meaning not making it about you, making it about them, seeing the world through their eyes, inviting them to get to know you, to make space in whatever you do for them to want to know more about you, know who you are. The great thing about digital is that it’s a huge amplifier for this foundation of building relationships. It gives you the ability every day to set the foundation with personal contact; now, you can amplify that foundation in an unlimited way.

I love that. All right, we’re at the end of our time today. Again, I want to thank you very much, Steve. I have yet to hear your name directly, but your work history industry suggests that you are a legend in the industry. I’m so thrilled that we got you on the show. Thank you, John, for having arranged that. I appreciate it. Steve, if you wanted people to reach out to you, talk to you, or do whatever it is going to be, how would you like them to do that?

Beautiful. And John, if you wanted people to do the same with you, how would you have people reach out to you and get in touch with you, research you, or do whatever you think they should do?
