Eric Thompson interviews Jacquelyn Krasnikoff of RE/MAX First in Calgary, Alberta, who shares a creative, relationship-centered open house strategy that helped her generate 30 of her first 34 real estate transactions from open houses. Her approach revolves around one simple question: “What do you think this house will sell for?” By turning that question into a fun contest with a $100 gift card, Jacquelyn creates a natural, pressure-free way to engage visitors, collect contact information, and establish relationships. Jacquelyn walks through her entire process, from welcoming guests...

Eric Thompson interviews Andrew Liberty of Compass in Studio City, California, about his “Ninja renaissance” and the shift from an unpredictable, seasonal business to one built on consistency and peace of mind. After years of strong months followed by long valleys, Andrew realized he had been operating “on accident,” without a repeatable structure connecting his daily activities to his results. Through Ninja Coaching, Ninja 90, and consistent use of the Weekly Flow Activity Scorecard, Andrew transformed the way he approaches his business. Instead of worrying about where the next...

These People Probably Want to Buy/Sell Real Estate Download: In this episode, Rob Nelson and Eric Thompson challenge the idea that 7% mortgage rates mean there is no real estate market. While higher rates certainly affect affordability and transaction volume, people continue to move because life continues to change. Births, deaths, marriages, divorces, career changes, empty nesting, inheritances, and other FORD events create housing needs regardless of the economic environment.  The opportunity for Ninjas is to identify those changes through consistent flow. Rob and Eric explain why...

Rob Nelson and Larry Kendall take a real-world challenge from a recent Ninja Installation and turn it into a 90-day business plan. A newer agent, currently working full-time as a CPA, wants to build $75,000 in reserves before leaving his corporate career and committing to real estate full-time. Larry’s message is straightforward: focus less on the $75,000 and more on consistently executing the activities that produce it. Using the Ninja 9, the weekly scorecard, real estate reviews, live flow, auto flow, and open houses, Larry lays out how someone with a full-time job can aggressively build a...

Jeff is on pace for $20 million in volume this year, with approximately 50% coming from agent referrals. At the center of Jeff’s strategy is a consistent birthday and anniversary card campaign. He sends at least 50 handwritten cards every month, roughly 70% to fellow Realtors. But the power isn’t simply sending a card. Jeff...

By consistently targeting at least 80 points per week, Jeff has increased his live flow, become more intentional in his FORD conversations, improved his real estate review process, and...

Eric Thompson interviews Dan Dodd of Vanguard Properties in San Francisco about the dramatic shift that took him from a scarcity mindset in 2025 to one of the strongest years of his 22-year career. After closing $15 million in 2025, Dan had already closed $33 million by mid-August 2026, with $90 million in his funnel and a projected year of $65–80 million. Dan explains that the breakthrough wasn't a new lead-generation strategy. With help from Ninja Coach Mark Johnson, he stopped simply checking the boxes of his Ninja habits and began focusing on the feelings and mindset behind them. A...

Rob Nelson chats with Mike Staver, author of Navigating Crazy, to explore why modern life can feel overwhelming and how to stay grounded amid chaotic circumstances. Mike argues that the world isn't necessarily getting worse, but the pace, pressure, and constant demands on our attention have dramatically increased. The solution isn't eliminating the crazy; it's learning to navigate through it. Mike recommends focusing on what you can control, establishing clear boundaries, and anchoring decisions to your core values. He also explores anxiety as a prediction about the future, the importance...

In this episode, Eric Thompson interviews Larry Kendall about the fourth principle of Ninja Selling: Connect and Communicate. Larry explains that great communication begins with connection. The best communicators create a sense of trust through what he calls a "non-anxious presence," making the conversation about the other person rather than themselves. By asking thoughtful questions, listening deeply, and adapting to clients' communication styles, Ninjas help clients gain clarity and make confident decisions. The conversation explores the Platinum Rule, the importance of asking rather than...

In this bonus episode, we’re sharing a recording from our live Ninja Sales Meeting, held the first Monday of every month, after many of you asked to hear these sessions on the podcast.

Peter Parnegg delivers an energizing and practical message focused on one core idea: if you want to quickly build your business, master the subtle skills that create real connection.

Drawing on insights from Sarah Blakely and the Ninja principles, Peter explores how entrepreneurship exposes our fears and how many of us avoid live conversations because of discomfort, guilt, or fear of “feeling salesy.” In reality, marketing creates awareness, but relationships create business. And relationships are built through consistent flow.

This episode is a reminder that nothing happens until something moves and that authentic, emotionally intelligent outreach will always outperform sales pressure.

If you’re ready to overcome hesitation, reconnect with your people, and create opportunities, this conversation will give you practical tools you can implement immediately.

And if you’d like to join us live for future Ninja Sales Meetings, tune in on the first Monday of each month at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time on the Ninja Selling YouTube channel.
