Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. The Power of High Energy

“High energy equals high income.” (00:01)
2. Becoming the Notable Expert in Your Market
- Krista encourages agents to assess their own visibility in their community, challenging listeners to become the person who immediately comes to mind when someone mentions their industry.
- Key Point: Most agents are "invisible" even if they create content, because no one is seeing it.
3. $5/Day Exposure System
- Krista details an affordable, scalable strategy for agents to dominate their market:
- Skip daily luxuries like coffee or wine and invest that $5 in Facebook ads to boost video content.
- Aim for hundreds of hours of watch time so that prospects know your name before they need your services.
- “For $5 a day, you’re going to skip the Starbucks … and you are going to put that money towards exposure. Because guess what? Attention is currency.” (05:19)
4. Winning Before You Arrive: Her Story & Motivation
- Krista candidly shares her personal story of overcoming a traumatic upbringing, time spent in juvenile hall and foster care, and adversity—including divorce and financial hardship.
- These experiences fueled her drive to succeed in real estate and help others.
“When we see people that we think are successful, we just assume that they’ve always had it easy. … When I was growing up, my mother was very physically abusive … Severe enough that the courts took me away from my family.” (07:40) "My why was to keep my daughter safe in that house. And that is what drove me to sell 69 homes my first year in real estate. Yeah. And I just kept going up from there." (11:23)

- Retargeting:
- Use retargeting ads to put content in front of prospects repeatedly—mirroring the way online shopping retargets consumers.

- Sends prospects an information box and links to a personalized authority funnel with guides, books, and marketing materials—before appointments.
- “None of your competitors are doing that. … They say Krista, you’re the only person that did that … imagine what’s going to happen after.” (16:49)
- Nurturing Before Opt-In:
- Don’t ask for contact info up front; first, earn the right to ask by providing value and education.
6. Leveraging Technology & AI
- Krista notes the impact of AI on consumer behavior and the ability to create systems and funnels much faster, keeping agents ahead of the curve.
“The consumer has changed because of artificial intelligence. … We have to change, too.” (19:52)
