Episode Highlights:

[19:52] Using the Enneagram to Speak Your Prospect's Language

One of the key tools Matt Cavanaugh leverages in his sales approach is the Enneagram personality typing system. He discusses how understanding someone's core Enneagram type provides valuable insights into how to best communicate with them. Through thousands of reps analyzing different types, Matt has gained an understanding of each type's strengths, weaknesses, comfort levels, and blindspots. Armed with this knowledge, Matt is able to tailor his communication style to be in sync with a prospect's language based on their Enneagram type. Where some may see tools like the Enneagram as manipulative, Matt views it as a way to show care and respect by communicating in a language the other person can understand. His goal is not manipulation but rather having the other person's best interests at heart.

[20:19] How Matt is Building a Personalized Real Estate Coaching Business

• With a focus on personalized approaches, Matt's insights prioritize tailored strategies over traditional methods. On the agent side, the emphasis is on helping individuals discover their true identity and creating a business plan that embraces their unique qualities. Likewise, on the W-2 side, instead of simply advising individuals to quit their job, Matt develops an investment strategy that ensures a smooth transition when the time is right. By considering financial needs and personality traits, options like syndications, fund investments, property purchases, and joint ventures are explored. This individualized approach charters a clear path from point A to point B, guaranteeing long-term fulfillment and success in the real estate industry.

[22:16] Personalized Real Estate Investing: Matching Strategy to Risk Tolerance and Personality

When it comes to investing in real estate, it's crucial to consider an individual's risk tolerance and personality. For those with a low risk tolerance who prefer a slower and analytical approach, throwing them into high-risk situations is not a good fit. Instead, introducing them to passive investments with lower returns allows them to participate in real estate without the need for immediate action. Understanding that different people have varying levels of knowledge and comfort, it's important to tailor the strategy accordingly. Assessing risk tolerance and personality helps determine the appropriate path, ensuring that everyone can invest in real estate and achieve financial freedom, but each person's approach may differ.
