[00:00:06.520] – Robert Newman

Welcome back to the Mail-Right podcast, ladies and gentlemen. If you’re listening on Spotify or iTunes, please do us a review.

[00:00:17.220] – Jonathan Denwood

Just one thing. I don’t think it’s going through your normal mic.

[00:00:27.020] – Robert Newman

Testing, testing.

[00:00:28.840] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, I might have been, Ron. Sorry. Where’s he going?

[00:00:34.280] – Robert Newman

I’m right here. I was just looking at… I was trying to look at my screen. I don’t have my glasses on. Yeah. Are you ready yet?

[00:00:42.160] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, go until you can, Dan.

[00:00:43.620] – Robert Newman

Testing, testing. You sure?

[00:00:45.520] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah.

[00:00:46.140] – Robert Newman

All right. Three, two, one. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the MailRight podcast. Today’s episode is number 487. We’re going to talk about some tech and services for real estate agents that we think are relevant in 2025 that can improve your business. We’re going to focus on some AI stuff, and we’re going to cover a lot of really cool ground. John has done some really great research, so we’re looking forward to sharing this with you. Now, before we get started, if you’re on iTunes or Spotify, I would love it if you could do us both a favor and leave us a review. Give us a like. If you can do nothing else. Stop listening to this show right now. Just give us a thumbs up, okay? Especially if you’re a repeat visitor, you already know what John and I deliver, which is a lot of great information for new and old real estate professionals alike. Without any further ado, though, in case you do not know who the man, the wonder, the legend that is John Denwood is. He is one of the top WordPress podcasters. He has had a show there for a long time.

[00:01:59.590] – Robert Newman

He is He’s the founder of this show. He is the founder of a real estate tech product called Mail-Right.com. It is, well, it’s not the name of the product, but it is the MailRight service, and it is an excellent service for those of you looking for a more budget solution to some of your real estate marketing and branding needs. Without any further ado, John, take it away and let people know who you are in your own words.

[00:02:25.640] – Jonathan Denwood

Oh, thanks, Rob. I’m the joint founder of Mail-Right.com. We’re CRM. We also make some lovely-looking WordPress sites for real estate agents using WordPress and a lot of other digital tools at an affordable price. Back over to you, Rob.

[00:02:43.260] – Robert Newman

All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen, today, we’re just going to jump right into it. We’re talking about apps that can help your business. First on the list today was Banana Nana. It’s funny because John linked the… I was going to tell him that I had only seen one video on Nana Nana. It’s super funny because in the one video I watched, he linked this reference for the subject. I’ve actually watched the video, but I watched it before you even popped it up as a suggestion to talk about. I actually can talk about this one, at least with the same degree of accuracy as anybody who’s ever watched this video. But why don’t you jump in and say, Because when I went through it, it didn’t occur to me to talk about it. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the use cases for Nanobanano in the context of a real estate agent. I thought of a few, but I wasn’t sure that they were big enough use cases to actually bring up on the podcast.

[00:03:47.420] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, I think it’s part of the Gemini AI tool suite that Google provides. Most of it’s free. But Ano Banana seems to be a really fantastic AI platform for making images through prompts and videos for social media and other usage. I think a lot of people are saying it’s probably on one of the better ones now. Crock does a pretty good job on X. If you got the Pro version of X and you get Crock, that does a pretty good job on imaging, but I think this is one of the better ones. I think it’s a pretty good product. Back over to you, Rob.

[00:04:42.140] – Robert Newman

For the use cases, for those that don’t know, this is a tool, Nana Banano, is an image AI optimizer. The use cases that this gentleman showed were changing the color of shoes, eliminating backgrounds, and doing so very easily. This is minutes and doesn’t It doesn’t require editing skills at all. That’s the exciting part about it. The reason I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to apply it to real estate, and it would require think time, is because all the examples that I saw on this video were product-based examples, like a shoe or something like that. I was sitting here going, How would we use that? We could remove stuff, but with real estate, it’s trickier because you could remove a bush, you could remove a background, you could do all sorts of stuff if you wanted to. You could clean up a room from clutter. You could design a room. But there’s tools that are already AI that do that. I just gave it three seconds worth of thought, and I did think about, Okay, here’s some fast uses for nano-banano that might be interesting for a real estate agent trying to get attention to a listing.

 

[00:05:49.360] – Robert Newman

You could change the color of a house fairly easily. It’s an outside thing, not an inside thing. There’s plenty of tools out there that do an inside interior design. I I haven’t personally seen one that altars the color of a house. You could say, theoretically, this is what the house would look like in beige, white, and brown, or whatever, three different colors, just in case anybody might be interested in repainting. That would be one thought that I have. Another thought that I would have would be the idea of adding amenities in the backyard. You could say, what would this backyard look like with a pool? And nano by nano might be able to do that for you. I am not 100% sure, but If there was a tool that would be worthy of trying, a nano-banano would certainly be it. The effort that would be involved is you get it in a nano-banano and you’d say, you upload a picture and you go, I would like to add a pool in the backyard and see what happens. All right? That’s it. All right, next on the list. Oh, by the way, two are beautiful, lovely users, listen, both John and I have Facebook pages and things.

 

[00:06:56.020] – Robert Newman

I personally would be fascinated, though, if anybody does go out and experiment with Nana Banano, who’s a real estate agent, if you would message me and tell me what or if any use cases you had for it, I would be very interested in that information. I could return the favor in knowledge of SEO. I can definitely hold up my end of an information exchange. All right. Agent legend. I didn’t research this one, John. Sorry, I’ve heard of them already, though. So what What made you add this one?

 

[00:07:34.900] – Jonathan Denwood

It’s not an app, it’s not in AI, but I think it’s a reasonably cool service. Basically, any real estate CRM, as you know, any CRM, a simple one like Melright, powerful but simple to use, or something like Follow Up Boss, which has got a good interface, but it’s a complicated CRM system. Whatever one you use for it to be effective, you got to use it and you got to get the data out and you got to do something with the data. And a lot of agents struggle with that. Well, they provide a service at different levels where they provide somebody that will help you get the data out, the CRM, and also do something with the data from any CRM. The price starts at $99. I don’t think it doesn’t sound too bad to me.

 

[00:08:35.420] – Robert Newman

I agree with you. All right, well, I don’t know much about Agent Legend. I’ve just heard of them. So again, I’m going to say this. This is probably the way that they’ve got it displayed, it seems like it’s another one of these chatpots that’s smart, that takes over a stream of conversation that is going to be somehow sent into an AI chatbot. Now, here’s what my personal experience with AI chatbots are, and I use them on my phone. I use them in numerous places for myself, personally, not for anybody else. For very simple, straightforward tasks I found them easy to use. I’ve just started to discover limitations on my phone AI because they don’t handle a lot of responses. If it’s a salesperson or somebody I don’t really want to talk to, they’re great. They just screen them and it’s no problem. If it’s somebody I know, it’s not good at all, and that’s a problem. Because I have to train it. I have to condition it to recognize these different circumstances.

 

[00:09:42.300] – Jonathan Denwood

Can I say something?

 

[00:09:43.600] – Robert Newman

Sure.

 

[00:09:44.600] – Jonathan Denwood

I might be totally wrong here. I don’t think they are. I presume they were using offshore people in the Philippines to actually help with the data. But I might be totally wrong there.

 

[00:10:03.580] – Robert Newman

They do have an AI chatbot thing on their homepage. You’re talking about Agent Legend right now, right?

 

[00:10:09.020] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, Agent Legend. But it’s got a chat on it, but I don’t think that’s got anything to do. Don’t see if it needs to chat. Yeah, I see what you’re coming. But I don’t think I might be wrong, I think it’s offshore.

 

[00:10:22.460] – Robert Newman

Well, hopefully it is, because that would be much better for everybody if it was. Okay, so definitely check it out. I think this is the second time that John has brought up Agent Legend, and I think that it’s worth looking at if you’re looking for-Yeah, but would you agree with the crux of my argument?

 

[00:10:42.840] – Jonathan Denwood

It doesn’t really matter what CRM you use. Well, that’s the thing, use whatever CRM you sign up for. If you don’t use it, that’s a problem, isn’t it?

 

[00:10:52.760] – Robert Newman

It is the problem. I think here’s why I remain quiet on issues of CRM and and basically optimization. Instead of improving efficiency overall, a lot of people, hundreds of thousands of people are going to buy these automated tools, which means that every person that is a decision maker like myself, I’m getting 20, 30, 40 calls a day easy on my phone right now. Easy. I’ve got to almost turn it off at all times that I’m not actively using it. The reason that I’m mentioning that is that if I feel that way, imagine that if you’re a real estate agent, there’s all these AI tools that say the second that you submit a lead somewhere, you show interest in a way that some system catches your information, all of a sudden, 50 different people are reaching out to you, 50 different AIs, and they’re not people, they’re systems.

 

[00:11:47.550] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, what are you going to have? You’re going to have AI systems blanking AI systems, blanking screening, AI system screen. In the end, nobody will be able to communicate with anybody.

 

[00:11:59.240] – Robert Newman

Yeah, and the assumption here, everybody’s like, Our AI agent will act like a human being. For very simple conversations, they will. But not even ChatGPT sustains long threads of conversation with 100% accuracy. Keep that in mind. Eventually, no matter how good your AI is, you are going to have it fall apart if anybody starts talking to it. I don’t know about anybody else, John. Let me ask you a question. If I figure out I’m talking to an AI, I’m done. I’m out, 100% out. What about you?

 

[00:12:36.760] – Jonathan Denwood

Oh, yeah, I’m the same. But you’re full star. I had my local gas supplier, they got an awful AI-generated system. It’s one of the worst I’ve come across in a long while. I had a particular question on that, and in the end, I managed to fold the system and talk to a very I’m a pleasant individual, a human being, but I had a hell of a struggle. There’s been a couple other… Because I’ve been on the phone a lot more, I’m normally texting or on the website or something, but for various reasons, I’ve been using the phone a lot more. They’re everywhere. Offshoring is bad enough when they don’t really know how to answer your questions I’m not blaming them, but that’s frustrating. But obviously, we got a new level because old Benny, the founder of Salesforce, he’s recently sacked 4,000 of SELS4 Hulse’s sales agents. He halfed his sales department. Did that come on your radar about a week ago? He sacked 4,000 of them. I don’t know what their AI bolts are like, but I personally don’t think that’s a fantastic idea, but we will find out, won’t we?

 

[00:14:08.000] – Robert Newman

We will, and that is a problem. That’s where my voice is going to be different than other people Because a big business’s increased towards efficiency is not necessarily smart for the small guy. I think more and more the distinction between big operations and small is going to be personalization, and personalization is going to have to come with some of your own time and your own voice. Now, I do believe strongly we can use AI in many ways to increase efficiency and save you time. I love the AI, like using a brand spokesperson that’s AI, that is you, that you’ve authorized in order to communicate messages, and you can type them in or audio them in and put up a video. Because as long as you at some point interact with the person in real life, in real time, I think there’s nothing wrong with that. If it’s you, you are the person who’s doing the talking. But boy, oh, boy, do not fall into this trap because I hate… I don’t know. Everybody I talk to hates it. I don’t know what the hell Mark Benoff is thinking. Maybe these were poorly performing people. Ever since Elon Musk started to fire people, everybody’s been getting very excited about it.

 

[00:15:22.380] – Robert Newman

But moving on. All right, Render Forest. Now, this is something I’m excited about, but I haven’t had a chance to look at. I am going to look at it. I totally think it’s cool. It’s a very interesting concept. It takes the most popular video platform and adds a tool to it that might help your videos go viral. I love this from start to finish. What can you tell us about Render Forest, which is an AI video tool.

 

[00:15:49.500] – Jonathan Denwood

It does a lot more than that. It really does try and provide a digital hub for an entrepreneur or small team that’s looking for a cost-effective product for producing graphics, PDFs, white sheets, all sorts of things. But I was specifically looking for something because I do produce a lot of long form and medium length video, and I was looking for stuff for TikTok and Instagram to help me there, and it came up on my radar. They got a free level, and the light is 14. These are month-to-month prices. The light is $14, the pro is 39, and they got a business at 49. It’s quite competitively priced. But I was looking specifically at editing long-form video for TikTok, but I don’t know how good a tool is, but it came up when I was doing my research, but it offers a lot of logos, design graphics, it offers a ton of stuff. I was looking at a couple others. I was looking at Capecut, which is actually owned by TikTok, and Descript, but the one I probably will end up using is Opus Clip because… Oh, he’s gone. Are you there? Is he coming back?

 

[00:17:26.260] – Jonathan Denwood

I’ve lost Robert, folks. I will keep talking. There’s a lot of choice out there, folks, but try and edit video and put the titles on and do all the rest of it is quite time-consuming. I’ve given them some of One of the other ones that I have been looking at, Rob, around TikTok editing. Like I say, there’s about four or five I’m looking at, but it’s very hard to make a decision. I’ve talked to one friend that does a lot of video and does a lot of video for TikTok and for Instagram, and he does long form, but as a package, he uses Descript because he’s utilizing some of the other features of Descript, and it’s got a good TikTok short form editor. But he actually was Opus Clip, and he said he couldn’t justify spending the money on the Opus Clip, the pro-version, and having the Descript because he didn’t get enough value. But he actually said if you’re just looking for a short form video, Opus Clip is probably the better choice. But you got to look at them all and make your choice, really, Robert.

 

[00:18:56.260] – Robert Newman

We really do. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we’re going to go to break. When we come back, I am going to share my not very exciting opinion about this, and then I’m going to really, really, really add a lot of enthusiastic tones to our next review, which is CapCut. I don’t know that much about it. So once again, John is going to carry the weight like hermitus or whoever that guy was that pushed the rock up the hill for so long. Anyway, we will be right back. So long meaning for attorney. We’re going to be right back, and when we come back, we are going to to, hopefully, help you have some great ideas to propel your business in 2025. All right, stay tuned. Three, two, one. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You have Jonathan Dinwood and I, two amazing small business founders who are in the real estate marketing space trying to help you get your real estate marketing game accelerated and propelled. We really, really enjoy helping real estate professionals. It’s one of our missions, both of us. And so if you want to check out our website, mail-right. Com, that would be John’s.

 

[00:20:06.730] – Robert Newman

And you can learn all sorts of things about all sorts of platforms. You do the same inboundrem. Com. And there’s one vast major difference is price point. We’re a little more expensive, but we focus on long term SEO. And John is a great guy for digital advertising, fast results, fast traffic into websites and things like that. Those are our two sponsors for the show, by the way, InboundRM and Mailhypher. Right. Thank you for listening to all of that self-obligatory self-promotion. We always appreciate it. Now, moving on, we’re going to talk to you a little bit about, literally, John’s intro to it. It’s amazing AI video make it into a… I’ve heard of it like a lot. So this one I know should be good. I just don’t know that much about it. Tell us about CapCut.

 

[00:20:52.780] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, I did talk… I have already talked about it after you dropped out. We lost you for a little while. So we really need to go on to Bonjuro.

 

[00:21:03.440] – Robert Newman

Okay, so sorry about that. Bonjuro. All right, let’s talk to us a little bit about Bonjuro.

 

[00:21:09.360] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, it’s a bit like it’s a competitor to Bonbon. It seems to be pushed by a number of really well-known influencers, but it’s the same concept, roughly. That’s what I got from it. I don’t know what you’re going to get. But a slightly more competitive price. They got a free level, you got a starter level at 25, a pro at level 39 and a growth at 99 per month. The prices seem quite clean, but that’s how I saw it as a competitor to Bonbon.

 

[00:21:43.060] – Robert Newman

Well, I was just talking to a real estate assistant. Bonbon is getting… You can link videos inside emails these days. Really what Mondro seems to be… I mean, a two-second look tells me that one of their main calls to action here it seems to be how many integrations that they’ve built out, which is if you knew tech, that just means they’ve probably gotten a zap. But it does take time. You have to talk to all these companies, having a 50 to 100 book of partners for a video tool as long as you have a decent video editor and an email thing all wrapped up into one, there’s some value. But definitely, Bum Bum has been feeling the pressure of the age that we’re in. We’ve interviewed the CEO. I’d love to have him back on at some point and talk to him about how they’re responding to that. But in the meantime, from a thousand feet away, it looks like they’re going to get edged out by competitors like this. But I haven’t tried them. I don’t know them. We do have a relationship with Bombom, so keep that in mind if you decide to check them out.

 

[00:22:44.980] – Robert Newman

All right, next on the list, Linked Helper. Oh, I love this concept. But once again, before you even go into explaining what you know of it or what your research revealed to you, I got to tell you guys, I’ve I get so much spam on LinkedIn. I don’t bother logging anymore. I log in and every time I log in, John, I have 75 people in my direct messages. I don’t know how all these people have that paid version of LinkedIn, but they do, or there’s a way to break it. I don’t know. Go ahead.

 

[00:23:28.120] – Jonathan Denwood

All right. It’s these terrible We’re marketers, isn’t it? We are marketers, so we’re the problem, aren’t we, Rob? But if you’re B2B, and part of my other business is B2B, I have a lot of small clients, then some medium, and I have some very large clients, and I would like to get some more medium clients. I’ve actually hired a friend of mine that was an ex-client of mine, and She’s going to help me with some targeting of certain industries. I’ve been looking at doing it through LinkedIn because over the last couple of years, I’ve built up a lot of connections in associations and higher education, other things for my other business through LinkedIn. I was looking at some of these tools that do help you do the outreach to my people that I exist in my LinkedIn who have agreed to connect with me and to get other people to connect with me. I was looking at a number of tools, Link Helper seems to be very competitive price. I personally have chosen a slightly higher price tool, which is sales robot. I’ve chosen sales robot. To, and we’re going to, with her help, we’re going to be starting the campaign next month and see how it goes.

 

[00:25:11.000] – Jonathan Denwood

If you want to do outreach through LinkedIn, there’s about three to four of these tools out there at different price points, and there’s a lot of conflicting info. But I think if price is a key feature, Link Helper is very competitive and it will do the job. If you’re looking for more features and something a little bit higher in functionality, I think sales robot is a good… Because some of the competition above sales robot starts at 200 a month, and that was a little bit too keen for me. That’s my A bit of how this might help people.

 

[00:26:04.820] – Robert Newman

So these tools, I just went through sales robot really quickly and looked at the people that were leaving reviews. That’s oftentimes what I do. And they’re all at what would easily be identified as medium to larger size businesses. Okay, Prospecta, Alphabets, these are all people that have the ability to spend $200, John, like it’s a forgettable amount of money.

 

[00:26:29.200] – Jonathan Denwood

If you go to the YouTube channel, he’s got a lot of interviews with smaller entrepreneurs like you and me, the actual founder of Sales Robot. He’s got actually quite a good podcast on the YouTube channel where he interviews actual users and explains their business models. I’ve been quite impressed with that, actually, Robert.

 

[00:26:52.600] – Robert Newman

You know what’s funny? They don’t even have a link to the YouTube channel off the actual website.

 

[00:26:58.040] – Jonathan Denwood

No, is He’s in his name. Yeah, it’s quite strange that is, but yeah, totally right.

 

[00:27:06.580] – Robert Newman

Well, I certainly have an issue with that, but with the lack of decent UI or UX on their website, but whatever. I’m going to say that my message is an Indian guy. So obviously, outreach and cold outreach from India to America is a major, major occupation because the Something like 30% of the economy in India and about 30% in the Philippines runs off basically offshore. It’s a major industry. It’s actually the most of their industry. So when you start talking about getting a hold of people like me, any tool that you can do to do that is going to be helpful. Now, if you are me, having 75 messages, I don’t even bother to look anymore. I don’t think I’m alone. I don’t think I’m alone. When you’re using these automated tools, try to understand what you’re What’s it going to do with it. If I personally was headed in the direction, John, of saying, I can’t even begin to understand how, unless you’re a single agent, the people here are property management people and wholesalers. I could see both of those maybe working on LinkedIn, but not so much the wholesalers because you have to find people with distressed homes, and LinkedIn is probably not a platform for that.

 

[00:28:24.960] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, I thought there could be certain circumstances where Yeah, but I agree with you. Linkedin is business to business, not business to consumer.

 

[00:28:39.320] – Robert Newman

If you’re looking for that, I can think of a few people that might be helpful, too. But for instance, many of my clients have relationships with developers. The problem is the developer pool is very small. It’s not worth using an automated tool to reach out to 15 people. But if you’re nationwide and you’re dealing with either HOAs or developers, then a tool like this could be incredibly helpful to you, whatever your profession is. At the point that you have a nationwide campaign on your hands and you want to talk to everybody all at once, I see the use case for sales robot. At that point, the job’s too big and it’s inefficient to hire a real-life human being. You have to go with AI, even though it’s making a deal with the devil, in my opinion. All right. The smart way to grow, darling local. You have a profile in the largest business The biggest directory on the planet, neglecting it cost you sales opportunities and top-line revenue every week. Okay, John, while you talk to us about darling local, I’m going to check out. I hate people who say this nonsense. I am part of about 100 directories and none of them carry the traffic to make it worth my time to optimize the directory.

 

[00:29:50.720] – Robert Newman

Let’s see if this one is the exception.

 

[00:29:54.200] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, if it is, I see where you’re coming from because their verb reach on the fold. I don’t think it really communicates exactly what it is, because it’s more about your Google business profile and also getting a bit… It does a little bit what the Melright system does, which is get more reviews. You can import a list into Melright and it will send out an email with a link asking for a survey. If you give a good response, it will then ask you, it will take you or ask you to go to a Pacific social media property and leave a review. I presume, reading some of the other content on the page, that it does a bit of that as well, and it was recommended by a couple of people. But I agree with you, the Burbridge could be better, couldn’t it?

Yeah, it really could. This What is Manage Google Business Profile. I think that what you’re going to find here is, number one, I don’t know that I feel like this is really going to be… I don’t really know that this is going to be… I do proof, let’s do auto dealer performance, and I’m in here…

 

[00:31:21.120] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, I’m not saying… I think hiring you and your team would be a much better idea. But as you know, most small businesses is do nothing. I mean, literally do nothing. Apart, there’s been a few that I’ve been… It’s quite strange, actually, Rob, because obviously I live in a little bit of a tech bubble, but recently I’ve moved and I bought some property. I’ve been dealing with a lot of more spending money, Robert, on trades people and service people. There is a small group that really gets it. They’ve got a really good website and they’re using third-party systems to send you a quote to schedule an appointment, and they’re highly automated. Then there’s a larger group that don’t seem to get it at all. It’s been quite interesting to observe, Robert.

 

[00:32:17.660] – Robert Newman

I’m going to say, ladies and gentlemen, about darling local. Listen, it looks like they’re just optimizing profiles and depends on the price, which is not available, but they are a small team that is very transparent. I can see who all the founders are. They’ve got a YouTube channel, they’ve got an Instagram channel, they’ve got a lot of customer testimonials. It seems like a legitimate business trying to do legitimate work. It’s all going to come down to what price they’re charging you. And the things that they’re focused on, to me, at least, are like local 101. All right? So anyway, let’s move on here to… Because we’re running out of time, I think. Quo bot and Blankist are the last two on our list. Jon, I’ve never even heard of Quoabot, so why don’t you take us away on that one, too?

 

[00:33:04.830] – Jonathan Denwood

It’s got a few tools there for a really good free program, and you can go for the pro. It’s a bit like Grammarly, but it does a lot more. It can identify AI content and rewrite it for you. It humanize it. It can find plagiarism, somebody is using your content. I use it when I want to take a tagline, and I can’t bother to spend the enormous time rewriting somebody else’s tagline. I ask it to rewrite it, but obviously you can use ChatGPT or a number of the other to do it, but it’s got a number of free things, and what I like about it is the free product is useful. It’s got obviously usage limits, but it’s not crippled. It works as extra tool with Grammarly, really.

 

[00:33:59.720] – Robert Newman

Extra tool above Grammarly?

 

[00:34:01.680] – Jonathan Denwood

No, with Grammarly. Combining the two together.

 

[00:34:10.500] – Robert Newman

That seems like a layered expense I would not be interested in, but I understand where you’re coming from.

 

[00:34:16.220] – Jonathan Denwood

I would say the free tool works really well. He’s been very critical of my choices today, hasn’t he? My beloved- Well, I think that my experience with AI is definitely different than yours, but we both know what the fundamental You have to use a lot of these tools, and I understand and respect that tremendously.

[00:34:34.470] – Robert Newman

But my experience with the reason, what you’re hearing in my voice is the level of frustration that I have. I had it again today because one of my sales support staff members used AI to review a contract and then sent it without reviewing it. And now I have a major client of mine coming back because it involves one of the key fundamental elements of the contract that makes the contract sound completely different. So he’s coming back at me with heat going, this isn’t what we discussed. I’m like, how did you get this wrong? And it’s because they use the AI.

[00:35:14.540] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, yeah, they used it, but they didn’t check it. Yeah, there we go.

[00:35:22.040] – Robert Newman

It’s not John’s choice, ladies and gentlemen. You use CRObot, right? Because of the AI demoniser.

[00:35:30.000] – Jonathan Denwood

I don’t pay for the paid version. I just use the free version. But I have a paid version of Grammarly. I always have that because it’s so useful for me. However, I use the free version of Quill Bolt, and some aspects of it are just a handy little tool that’s part of my browser’s tool set. On to the last one, Blanket.

[00:35:55.700] – Robert Newman

Yeah, hit us with that.

[00:35:57.320] – Jonathan Denwood

Well, it’s just a fun one. It gives you five new things that you probably didn’t know a day ago. So, you go to it, and it has five new things to learn per day. Little quick thing. It’s just a fun little thing. I thought we would end the show with something fun and light, Robert.

[00:36:14.160] – Robert Newman

I love that. You can definitely… Little tools like that, like Headway back in the day and other tools, like little tools that educate or provide value in unusual ways for really inexpensive cost, are definitely ways for real estate agents to look to entertain and engage their customers and their agents. It just depends on how big your team is. So I love that idea. All right, that’s it, ladies and gentlemen. That’s our list. We are going to tell you how to get hold of us. But before we do, you are now at the end of the show. And so if you’ve liked some of the stuff that we’ve talked about, or if your wheels are turning about an idea, or if we’ve given you a place to go and look at, I’m once again, just going to ask that you like the show or leave us a review on Spotify or iTunes or wherever you happen to be listening. Pretty pleased. It would mean the world to us, and it helps support the show without you spending any money or any time or calling John or me or doing anything else. All right, that’s it.

[00:37:11.220] – Robert Newman

That’s all I got. If you’d like to see more of me and what I’ve got, what I say about SEO and the subjects the Inbound RIM focuses on, AI, SEO, those are my things, lead generation for real estate agents, you go to inboundrim. Com. Our client list is exploding right now because AI has taken off, and we got lucky, and we’re getting a lot of results from that. All right, John, over to you, sir.

[00:37:35.520] – Jonathan Denwood

Yeah, and come over to mail-right. Com. Take a look at what we have to offer. It’s a fabulous platform, and it is very affordable, and we love to serve you, so go and have a look.

[00:37:48.620] – Robert Newman

[00:37:51.340] – Jonathan Denwood

All right.
