This is, this guys, he's a legend, 2 00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:11.760 Frankie with Lexington Capital. Hi 3 00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:12.600 Everybody. How we doing? 4 00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:15.640 So Frankie, come on in a little bit. Mm-hmm. So, Frankie, 5 00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:19.640 you are speaking today. You, you, you pretty much, you know, you're, 6 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.000 you're the man. You're the man of the hour. Yeah. So, first and foremost, 7 00:00:23.110 --> 00:00:26.080 what has been your experience so far this morning here at Broker Fair? 8 00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:28.760 So, obviously Broker Fair is, it's the place to be. Um, 9 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:30.760 it's the place to connect in the industry. Um, there's no, 10 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.560 there's no better show Sean puts on a show. 11 00:00:32.660 --> 00:00:35.520 I'm very blessed to be here and I'm very blessed that the De Bank team has 12 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.360 picked me to, to speak. I'm so excited about it. So 13 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:39.440 Let's talk a little bit about that. So you're, you're gonna be on, 14 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:42.680 you're on a panel. What panel are you on? And kind of walk us through the, uh, 15 00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:44.120 the conversation that's gonna be going on. Yeah, 16 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:47.840 So 1150 be there. Um, it, it's the growing your brokerage panel. All right. 17 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.920 So we're ba I'm basically gonna be talking, breaking it down, 18 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.760 how you expand your brokerage, um, 19 00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:55.280 ways to treat your employees way to marketing tactics, technology skills, 20 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.720 everything to build up your brokerage and to succeed. So, 21 00:00:57.940 --> 00:01:00.560 So let, let's talk a little bit about that whole concept. You know, 22 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.040 what tips would you have for people watching this that aren't here, 23 00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:05.800 that aren't gonna be there? What tips would you have about bro, uh, 24 00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:07.360 making sure you grow your business? 25 00:01:07.630 --> 00:01:08.320 Yeah, so I mean, 26 00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:11.280 obviously always have a safety net I think is the most important thing as a 27 00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.080 business owner. Um, that goes without being said. 28 00:01:13.220 --> 00:01:15.600 And I think marketing in this industry is just number one. I mean, 29 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.920 if you don't market yourself, nobody's gonna know who you are, right? 30 00:01:18.020 --> 00:01:21.640 So there's big banks, there's big players like Chase, jp, JP Morgan, chase, 31 00:01:21.730 --> 00:01:24.720 Wells Fargo, TD Banks. So in order for us to get our name out there, 32 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:25.553 it's a lot of marketing. 33 00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:29.200 So, something you and I have talked about a lot is the red. Like you guys, 34 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:32.680 you know, when you promote, when you, when you're branding, a lot of Reding, 35 00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:36.400 the guy, the guys you're working with, they have read kind of talk to, 36 00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:39.760 to me about something just as simple as like, making sure you're uniformed, 37 00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:41.480 how important something like that is. 38 00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.240 So like, that's just branding. So, I mean, 39 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:46.080 something that's not done in this industry as much as I thought it would be when 40 00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:50.200 I came in is branding. So that's something that Lexington really strives for. 41 00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:53.720 And I think whenever you guys see us on LinkedIn or on Facebook or, or anywhere, 42 00:01:53.720 --> 00:01:56.120 you already know, we got the red on, you know, you know, 43 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.000 we're gonna put on a show and, and you know, you know, 44 00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.840 we're gonna take care of your customers to the full of our abilities. 45 00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:03.400 So, so let, let's talk about what you're looking forward to the most right now. 46 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:04.220 Yeah. 47 00:02:04.220 --> 00:02:05.053 Um, and like in, 48 00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:07.120 In, yeah, like in today, like, just at, 49 00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:10.000 And then just, I honestly want to inform every broker on, 50 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.240 on just how to run their business and, and just how to be better. 51 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:13.600 Cuz I know when I first opened this up, 52 00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:15.800 there weren't a lot of people who were really helping me out, 53 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.680 like the way I would've loved to. So I want to be that guy. I'm young, 54 00:02:18.740 --> 00:02:22.440 I'm 24 years old. Um, I think Lexington Capital might be the youngest brokerage, 55 00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:24.360 like age-wise. I know there's not a stat on that, 56 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.760 but I would love to do it one day. Um, so I just want to be there, 57 00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:29.320 hold a hand for every young broker out there and just know that they got someone 58 00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:30.140 to help them. So. 59 00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:33.200 So what would you say to the young people watching this that are either new to 60 00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:35.880 the industry or that they wanna open up their own brokerage firm and they wanna 61 00:02:35.880 --> 00:02:37.240 do what you're doing? What would you say to them? 62 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:38.920 I would say that it's possible. Um, 63 00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:41.000 I'd say that there's nothing special about me or, or, 64 00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:44.080 or my company other than the fact that everybody believes in each other and we 65 00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:46.520 put every ounce of effort in every day, and we come out and we, 66 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.240 and we work hard and that's it. So. 67 00:02:48.510 --> 00:02:51.680 Awesome. Thank you Frank. Thank you so much. Super excited to, so excited to, 68 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.720 yeah. No to the front panel. Yeah.
