This course was outstanding in my view. A lot of very good information, often found in many pieces or taught in various bits and pieces here and there with not the greatest success. The systematic approach to this is excellent, creating a pathway and road map, step by step to a powerful plan for all real estate professionals business. It should be part of every agents arsenal. The breadth of the information is wonderful, the videos very clear, crisp and easy to follow. The clarity of presentation and the supporting documentation pieces and PDFs outstanding. Worth every minute of time invested.

This extremely thorough course provides real estate agents with all of the systems, scripts, and tools that they could ever need to build a largely referral-based business. It's not surprising that these are the very same methods used by ICC's high producing coaching clients across the country.

Since we started requiring our new agents to complete the SOI Online Course, our referral-based leads and conversions have gone through the roof! New agents are finding immediate success. We had no real formal training prior to finding this course. We buy it for every agent now and it's well worth the money.

Our real estate team sells over 1,500 homes per year, and we use this course as mandatory onboarding training for every agent that joins our team. The systems and processes contained in this course are a big reason why 75% of our team's business comes from our agents' spheres of influence. A huge thank you to Brian Icenhower and ICC for putting this important course together is such an effective way.

A fellow agent in another market let me borrow his copy of the SOI ebook. I am more of a visual learner, so I purchased the online course. In just a couple of weeks, I received a referral from a recent client, which easily covered the costs of the course, and left plenty over for a nice, tidy profit.

Before taking the SOI Course, I would get some repeat or referral business but it never occurred to me that past clients needed to be reminded constantly! By following the straightforward scripts, tools, and tactics discussed in this online course, I was able to earn two referrals, one buyer, and one seller. The cost of the course was well worth it, and I’m excited to put some of that time and energy into other online courses.

Shortly after I completed my license exam, I asked my instructor about online courses that can help me get my career started. She recommended The Real Estate Trainer, and the first class that caught my eye was the SOI Online Course. Thanks to this comprehensive course, I now possess the tools to leverage my connections within the community to generate new leads, and get my real estate career started on the right foot! I wish I had started building my database a year ago!

When I first heard about a Sphere of Influence, I just figured it meant reaching out to my Facebook friends and friends in real life. However, after completing the SOI online course, I discovered that there is so much more to obtaining referral-based leads! In just six months, referrals now account for nearly HALF of our total volume and have increased our sales by 20%. I made an entirely new goal for this year. The SOI course has been one of the best investments for our agents.

Instructor

Like all Icenhower training courses, I created SOI: Building A Referral-Based Sphere of Influence for those real estate agents wanting to move from a mere real estate practice to a systematized real estate business with the control and mastery of your results.

You are not an "average agent", so you need to employ the tried and tested ways of the nation’s Top Producers for always having an abundance of prospective buyers and sellers lined up — people who know who you are by name and "brand", who come to you first to list their property or to show them their next new one.

Regardless of your specialty, location or client base, we’ll show you how to systematize your approach to SOI: Building A Real Estate Agent's Sphere of Influence and employ the tried and tested way of taking back control — or grabbing it perhaps for the first time — of your ability to generate a predictable number of Closed Transactions month after month.

We’ll show you step-by-step how to grow your results year after year, and do it with no gaps in productivity or slumps in transaction activity, as you approach your business’s SOI Referral Database like a master.
