The Lead from Gary, Jason, and Jay.

We noticed you missed opening our newsletter this week. 🎃 Happy Halloween!

People Don’t Remember Much
The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve by Hermann Ebbinhaus shows how most people forget things they've learned dramatically after only 9 hours, and slowly over the next 31 days.
  • Our Aha: Say less to remember more.
  • Sometimes we think that more is better. Not true with memory. More absolutely equals less.

Agents Want Technology and Are Paying for It
A study by NAR shows what technology agents are actually using, and who pays: self-purchased, broker-provided, mls/association, not wanted or provided, free, or don't know who pays.
  • Our Aha: Agents want technology and the majority are paying for it.
  • No surprise: Social media is at the top of the list. Agents have decided. Ignore at your own peril.
  • In each category, there’s a group of agents who have no idea who is paying for what. 
  • The brokerage industry has decided that CRM and eSignatures are the most important.

The AI Tools Agents Are Using

  • Here’s what didn’t surprise us: The majority of agents are on ChatGPT. You should feel totally comfortable using ChatGPT for your AI training demos.
  • Platforms matter. Agents are starting to use AI tools that are provided to them by software they’re already using, like Gemini by Google, Copilot by Microsoft, and Apple Intelligence.
