Who has fresh new ideas for touching base and asking for referrals for 2026. Do you think picking up phone and calling is best, buying gift cards from local coffee shops, client appreciation parties? I need some fresh ideas. I learned one from Kreg to put my card/sticker in a book for clients young kids.

Hi everyone, curious to know — has anyone here implemented an AI bot (chatbot or voice agent) specifically to qualify new real estate leads? I'm thinking about how to transfer the manual qualification conversation to an AI that runs 24/7, so no lead ever goes unanswered. The big challenge I'm seeing is keeping it feeling natural and helpful. Sometimes, it fires off too many questions too quickly, and it hurts the customer experience. How are you handling this in practice?
