Russell Shaw is eager to do more podcasts, and I think we’re all eager to hear more from him. His plan, essentially, is to offer a full-blown training regimen — without the fees, without the seminars and without the extra-cost upsells.
We’ll do these in audio podcasts, although we may also shoot some video. At some point, we may put together a mini-symposium so that Russell can take questions from the audience.
Here’s the cool part: You can have what you want. If there is a particular topic you would like for Russell to address, say so in a comment.
We’re building lists of topics that we will knock out four or six hours at a time. We’ll chop those down into topical chunks, and then I’ll build an index of everything.
It’s possible that a sales training seminar will have more rah-rah-rah enthusiasm. But these podcasts will emanate from the real-life experience of a working mega-producer, and they’ll be yours to listen to as many times as you want — for free.
So: Do please get busy. Russell is working on his own list of favorite subjects, but you will think of topics that everyone else will miss. In the end, we’ll all be richer for the experience…

This is insanely amazing! His success is dwarfed by his generosity.
Topic Request #1: What are the action numbers Mr. Shaw practices (or did)? Specifically, what measurable tasks does he do every day, each week, each month?
Topic Request #2: What online marketing would Mr. Shaw do if he wanted to attract scads of buyers (remember, I’m a lender)
Topic Request #3: What market niche would Mr. Shaw pursue if he were starting as a new agent today and why?
Muchas Gracias Sr. Shaw!

Fantastic Greg! Mr. Shaw, you’re proving what you said in the first podcasts, that it isn’t about the money, and I want to thank you. The first podcasts were excellent, and I could listen and learn from you for days.
My topic request would be to spend a bit more time on the things a first year agent should do now (2007) in order to grow a business. I can appreciate hearing about how to go from 20 to 40 or 60 to 120 sides a year, and those details I will save for that stage in my career. I don’t see much in the way of mentoring new folks, and your podcasts could help in that spot. Thanks again!

That is very cool of him. Here’s a specific question:
In podcast 1, he mentioned that he went to door knocking FSBOs and Expireds. He said he did better in person than on the phone and wasn’t afraid because he knew how to handle any objection. I’d like to hear him elaborate on the method to his madness back then – how he practiced, scripts, etc.
I think new agents should be focusing on the low-hanging-fruit of FSBO/Expired listings.

Hello,
As a 20 plus veteran, having taken Floyd Wickman, Buffini, Ferry, and others, I listened to Russell’s podcasts with a notepad and pen. Good stuff! I found the series very very down to earth and honest, (maybe because here we have someone who doesn’t hold back, and even though there were some swear words, they were used in the best sense!). Russell, I will be “taking” all your classes! I tell others, BUT,,, I tell them they have to go to Bloodhound to get the podcasts, (None of this “I’ll download them for you, crap!) My Sony Bean is now “alive” with Russell Shaw in it!
I personally would like to hear more on the “prospecting” aspects of Russell’s business and also his spiritual outlook and how it applies to his work.
Thank You
Jim Gatos

Oh, sweet Jesus! What to do, what to do. I think that if he’ll just keep talking, great things will happen. I would really like to hear Russell talk about fishing. Or maybe his own unique cosmology. Or what brand of perfume Wendy likes. ANYTHING but sports! As far as real estate is concerned, I feel certain that he was or is engaged in some type of a mastermind group. Would he care to elaborate on the concept in general, and his experiences with it in particular?
