About this course
You can build the best marketing engine in the country — the ads, the copy, the creatives — and still end up broke. Point that engine at a developer who does not deliver, or at one who quietly eats your brokerage, and everything you spent generating leads starts working against you.
This course is about the decision sitting underneath all the marketing: which project you agree to sell, and who you agree to sell it for. It goes past the brochure and into what actually decides whether the money reaches you.
It is for brokers who are past the question of how to generate leads, and are now carrying the risk of where those leads get pointed. Three chapters on the decision that comes before the marketing.
Who this is for
Brokers who can already generate leads and now have to judge the project and the developer on the other side of them. Especially anyone who has chased a brokerage payment that did not arrive.
Course content

Why the developer decides whether you get paid
The modules before this one built a marketing engine — the ads, the copy, the creatives. This chapter starts with the thing that can make all of it worthless. Point a working engine at a developer who does not deliver, or at one who quietly keeps your brokerage, and the better your marketing gets the faster you lose. It sets up the two questions the rest of the course answers: how to pick a developer, and how to survive one.

Interview the developer, then secure your money
Four parts. It opens with a mindset shift about who your customer actually is, and it is not who most agents assume. Then the three questions to put to a developer before you commit anything — including a way of checking their answer that costs about as much as a cup of tea. Then the red flags that mean walk away whatever the project looks like. It closes on how to secure your brokerage before you spend a single day advertising for them.
-
Spy on the winners, then do the math
Four parts. It opens with a free tool from Meta that shows you exactly which ads your biggest local competitor is running right now, and what to take from them. Then a four-point test for deciding whether a project deserves your team's time at all — travel cost, developer support, and who the real buyer is. Then the arithmetic: how to set a marketing budget backwards from the commission you expect, and the one funnel ratio that tells you whether your ads or your sales pitch is the problem. It closes on why no agency should rest on a single developer.
