#eandiabundancebox – Gifts of Gratitude for your Referrals
Greetings, E+I Family and soon-to-be Fam! In today’s world, there are various ways that real estate agents find business: internet leads, open houses, door knocking, you name it! However, the holy grail of connection, the most incredible and meaningful way of doing business, is through your referrals.
In 2019, East + Ivy helped 45 families. Of those 45 families, 20 of them were directly because of YOU! We were humbled and grateful for you trusting us with your friends and family, so we knew we wanted to show our appreciation and do something special just for you— something more meaningful than a ‘Thank You’ Starbucks card.
Thus, the E and I Abundance Box was born!
So, “What is this #eandiabundancebox?” you ask? Well, it is a monthly “subscription” box that includes some of our agents’ favorite things. This box of awesome will be mailed directly to your house at the end of every month.
“Oh, that is super rad, guys, how do I get my hands on the #eandiabundancebox?” you ask. Well, that is easy! You just have to make a direct connection between us and your friend, acquaintance, co-worker, or family member, and we will do the rest. Your connection doesn’t have to be ready to buy, sell, or rent this second; we just want to be here for them when they are ready and have the opportunity to start building that trusted advisor relationship now. You love us for a reason, and we promise they will love us, too.
“Is there a cost?” Nope. The only cost is your contribution and trust in us to take care of your people and maybe a five-minute chat. If you've ever read the Five Love Languages, you'll know what it means when I say that collectively one of our love languages is gifting, so please understand these boxes are coming from a place of deep love and gratitude.
“How often will I receive a box?” Well, that depends on how often you make the direct connection. Every month you make that connection, you get a new box! For example, in January, Mallory connects me with a family who is moving to the DC area in the next few months; in February, she is super busy with work and family and no one mentions they want to buy a house, so we don’t hear anything; come March, she sets us up with her neighbor AND her mom!
What does this mean for the boxes? This means 1. Mallory is the bee’s knees, and I love her so much— which is true, Mal, you’re amazing; 2. Mallory gets a three-item box in January and a four-item box in March. Yep, you read that right. If Mal sends more than one lead per month, she gets more stuff in the box. That “more stuff” is personalized to each person.
“Okay, I’m in. How do I make the connection?” That’s easy! You can do it however you want! You can put us into a group chat on Facebook, send an introductory email, a group text, a three-way call— seriously, whatever you want.
The reason we are asking for a warm introduction is because new people are scary. Just kidding, we are actually super warm and fuzzy, but your people don’t know that yet. And even when you say we are big, fluffy momma and papa bears, they probably don’t believe you just quite yet.
“Final question guys, what’s in the box?” Well, that is going to change every month my dear #eandifamily, but if you want to see a sneak peak of what January has in store, check out the video here:
With all this said, we have big goals in 2020. We aim to serve 98 families, and we can only do that with your support. We hope for an introduction to your friends and family and to making those connections soon. We love you, and we thank you!
With Gratitude,
Nicole, Jenn, Will, Josh, Lindsay & Angie
