    Don’t confuse a robot for a cyborg. The latter is simply a living organism augmented by an artificial component or technology.


    So, a well-equipped human is a cyborg. For example: with a smartphone and a ton of texting shortcuts to save time or with a prompting process to write more personal emails or replies to reviews faster.


    The future of real estate sales and services belongs to those moving in this direction.

    Learn how and why - in a practical, approachable, no-hype way - with Taylor Hack, Owner of Hack&Co in Edmonton, Alberta.

    Taylor shares why he built a team (but not a mega team), how guests of Real Estate Team OS like Veronica Figueroa, Justin Havre, and Kris Lindahl have helped him on his journey, how he’s leveraged his passion for marketing and technology, and specific ways he’s using AI to improve himself, his team members, and their results.

    Get specific tips to increase speed and maintain quality in getting insights from spreadsheets, writing and replying to emails, responding to online reviews, and more!


    Listen to Ep 036 with Taylor Hack for:

    - A meaningful definition and clear benefits of synergy

    - How high-end car sales, mortgages, and irritation helped him produce $1M in commission in his first 32 months in real estate

    - Why he started his real estate team and how hard it is to learn to run a business

    - Why his 10-person team is exactly the right size (and how to find your right size)

    - Why “the future of real estate is cyborgs” delivering “awesome” and “now” five-star experiences

    - How to find the balance of people and machines in your business (how to make sure clients can’t “see the wires” of your machines)

    - How he learned about AI and a framework to better leverage Chat GPT (concluding with 3 critical questions)

    - Places to turn for trustworthy AI guidance (a couple of links here: https://linktr.ee/taylorhack)

    - Writing emails, replying to emails, and replying to reviews with AI

    - The benefits of a voice paragraph (written by and for AI)


    At the end, learn about earning a vintage 911, mowing the lawn, being present with dogs, and trading the two worst hours of your day for the two best.
