Mark Wills explains how notaries can sponsor escrow officer events to build relationships with realtors and land higher-paying work. The strategy centers on networking at industry events to create business opportunities in real estate.
So notaries offering to sponsor some of our events would be huge because it does not happen very often.
In your 26 years of being escrow officer, it's in your experience that escrow officers are always throwing some type of event for a realtor. You're 26 years from day one to today. Everybody hear that right there? So she goes, well, Mark, I'm spending money on the champagne and on the hors d'. Oeuvres. And if a notary would walk in and be like, look, I know you're throwing little mixers for realtors that you're pitching. Can I sponsor the champagne or d'? Oeuvres or whatever is you do?
Yeah.
So I literally did this, by the way. Like, I swear to God, I asked my wife.
I love it.
And so they had this Galentine. Galentine. Something like that.
Bunch of those are coming up.
Yeah. Someone said, the gallery, I'm throwing a gallatine. And then I'm like, cool, can I. Can I sponsor it? It's like, oh, well, you just bought the five champagnes. I'm like, cool. Was like $70. I'm like, okay.
Yeah.
And now they're like. They're like, well, it's awesome because she's like, no one's ever done it. So if you walk into an escrow office, ask for branch manager. She's a branch manager. And be like, local notary here. I know that you guys are probably throwing some events to. For happy hours for your agents. Any way that I could sponsor for you to take that off of your plate. And I'd love to pay for the. Whatever it is that you buy.
And then if you go to the event as the sponsor, you're going to get introduced, you're going to meet other people. You know, you're going to further that relationship. Relationship by connecting with somebody that we know that's going to say, hey, I really like them. I want you to use them on all my deals now, you know, so everybody hear that?
So you're gonna meet the realtors that they're trying to woo, and they're like, oh, my God, I love Mark. Like, because you're. Now you're able to make that connection at the networking event because you're a sponsor. And then like, you were saying you'd meet the entire office at that point. Is everybody picking up what you're putting down here? Let's give it up. Let's give it up right here.
