Wednesday, June 5th at 2:30 PM ET works for me. To be honest, my current brokerage’s marketing support feels a bit scattered and there isn’t a formal mentorship or clear path to expand beyond my existing book of business. I’m looking for a team with structured guidance, advanced digital tools, and a true community-driven culture.


Hi K***n,
Perfect,Wednesday, June 5th at 2:30 PM ET is confirmed. I’m looking forward to our 15,20 minute chat.

• A centralized CRM that automates lead follow-up and tracks your pipeline end-to-end.
• Professionally designed listing packages, targeted digital ad campaigns, and a full-time marketing coordinator to execute open houses, social ads, and email blasts.
3. Community-Driven Culture:

Thanks, J***e,that commission ramp looks clear. Could you share how quickly most agents hit the $100K+/quarter milestone to reach 80/20 and if there’s an acceleration cap? Also, could I see a rough agenda for the onboarding bootcamp and know if your CRM supports custom data imports or integrations?


Hi K***n,
Great questions,here’s a bit more detail:
1. Commission Ramp Timing & Cap
• On average, new agents at M***y hit the $100K+/quarter threshold in about 2,3 quarters, thanks to our structured lead flow and mentorship.
• Once you reach that milestone, you move to an 80/20 split permanently,there’s no further split increase, but you remain eligible for our quarterly performance bonuses.
2. Onboarding Bootcamp Agenda (Week 1)
Day 1: Company overview, culture deep dive, goal setting with your mentor
Day 2: CRM fundamentals & lead-generation workflows

Thanks, that’s super helpful,could you share a ballpark for those quarterly performance bonuses at the 80/20 split and maybe a quick peek at the CRM dashboard UI? And after the initial bootcamp, what’s the cadence for ongoing ride-alongs or tech deep-dives?


Hi K***n,
Happy to dive in on those details:
1. Quarterly Performance Bonuses (80/20 split)
• Ballpark range: $2,000,$5,000 per quarter for agents who consistently hit and exceed the $100K+ threshold. Top producers have occasionally seen bonuses closer to $6K in peak quarters.
• Bonus payouts are tied to both individual volume and overall branch performance, ensuring you benefit from your own success as well as team growth.
2. CRM Dashboard UI Highlights
• At-a-glance pipeline view with color-coded stages (New Lead, Contacted, Active, Pending, Closed)
• Task calendar and automated reminders for follow-ups, inspections, and client check-ins
• Interactive charts tracking call volume, appointments set, and contract conversion rates
• Customizable widgets so you can surface the metrics most important to your business (e.g., referral sources, open-house ROI)
I can share a quick screenshot or even set up a 5-minute screen share before our call if you’d like a closer look.
3. Post-Bootcamp Ride-Along & Tech Cadence
• Ride-alongs: Weekly for the first 3 months (we schedule them around your listings and showings), then transition to bi-weekly or as-needed check-ins with your mentor.
• Tech Deep-Dives: Monthly clinics led by our tech coordinator focusing on advanced CRM features, integrations, and reporting. Plus quarterly workshops for new tools, marketing automation updates, and best practices.
Let me know if you’d like that CRM peek in advance or have any other questions. Looking forward to our conversation on Wednesday at 2:30 PM ET!
Best,

Thanks, J***e! Can you clarify exactly how branch performance factors into the quarterly bonus calculation? Also, could you share a quick example of how I’d set up a custom widget,say, tracking referral source ROI,in the CRM UI?


Hi K***n,
Happy to clarify:
1. Branch Performance in the Bonus Formula
• We weight your quarterly bonus 70% on your individual volume and 30% on overall branch volume versus target.
• For example, if your personal volume nets you a $4,000 base bonus and the branch hits 110% of its target, you’d multiply that base by 1.10,so your final bonus would be $4,400 for the quarter. If the branch hits only 90%, you’d apply a 0.90 multiplier, resulting in a $3,600 payout.
2. Example: Setting Up a “Referral Source ROI” Widget
• In the CRM dashboard, click “Customize Widgets” in the top-right corner.
• Select “New Widget” → choose “Metric Calculation” → pick “Referral Source.”
• Define your formula: (Revenue from Referrals , Marketing Spend on Referrals) ÷ Marketing Spend on Referrals.
• Name it “Referral ROI” and choose your display (e.g., gauge or chart).
• Hit “Save,” and it’ll populate on your home dashboard with real-time updates.
If you’d like a quick screenshot or prefer to walk through it live, I can share during our call on Wednesday at 2:30 PM ET. Let me know!
Looking forward to it,
J***e
