Afternoon Session

How to Stay Top of Mind, Generate Referrals, and Build a Business Powered by Relationships Kevin Smullin, Kanetiq AI

SESSION DESCRIPTION:   

Most buyer's agents work hard to close a deal—and then accidentally disappear from their client's life. At the same time, they treat Facebook and Instagram like digital bulletin boards, posting static market updates and hoping someone notices. This session bridges that gap by combining a systematic approach to sphere-of-influence marketing with precision social media targeting. Attendees will learn how to build a warm, authentic framework for staying connected with their database while pulling back the curtain on how advertising platforms actually work. By leveraging custom audiences, strategic ad targeting, and a full client acquisition funnel, this session teaches you how to put the right message in front of your network at exactly the right time—turning passive relationships into a predictable engine for referrals, booked appointments, and closed deals.
