A Missed Renewal Date Is Easy to Fix.
A Missed Connection May Be Impossible to Recover.
If your membership has expired or renewal simply slipped by during a busy business cycle, you can reactivate your membership now and keep your information working for you.
Perhaps Renewing Simply Got Missed
We understand how busy today’s real estate business can be.
Between clients, listings, showings, negotiations, paperwork, meetings, prospecting, follow-up, emails, social media and the everyday demands of running a real estate business, it is very easy for a membership renewal to simply get overlooked.
If that happened to you, that is understandable. We simply want to make sure you know what you may be missing before too much time passes.
A missed connection may be impossible to recover.
The Biggest Cost of Not Renewing May Not Be the Membership Fee
Someone could be looking right now for a property, business, buyer, seller, investor, tenant, referral or opportunity that you know about — or you could be looking for exactly what another member has.
Every Member Should Have a Personal ICIWorld Update at Least Once a Year
Even experienced members can miss new tools, ideas and opportunities.
ICIWorld continues to evolve. We are constantly learning, testing, improving and adding ideas that may help members generate more connections, referrals, leads and transactions.
That is why we would like to personally consult with every member a minimum of once per year.
During your annual member update, we can share new developments and review how they may benefit your business, including:
✔ New ICIWorld features and services
✔ Improvements to searching Haves and Wants
✔ New ways to promote your information
✔ Social media ideas and strategies
✔ Artificial intelligence and AI tools that may help your real estate business
✔ Website and IDX opportunities
✔ Referral opportunities
✔ New training, workshops and networking ideas
✔ Ways to improve the visibility and effectiveness of your Haves and Wants
✔ Ways to recognize more opportunities during your everyday conversations
The checklist is designed to help make sure you are taking advantage of the services, tools and opportunities available to you.
Sometimes one overlooked item can make a major difference.
Why Is the Annual Consultation So Important?
The real estate business is changing quickly. The way people communicate, search, market, network and generate leads today is very different from only a few years ago.
Social media continues to change. Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. Websites and search tools are changing. New ways of reaching buyers, sellers, investors and other professionals are constantly appearing.
ICIWorld is also continuing to develop and learn.
You may have been a member for many years and still discover something during a short annual consultation that you did not know was available.
When Your Membership Is Inactive, Business Does Not Stop
Buyers are still searching. Sellers are still considering selling. Investors are still looking. Businesses are still changing hands. Brokers and salespeople are still networking Haves and Wants.
But your ability to participate fully is reduced.
✔ Your Haves, Wants and listings may no longer be actively working for you.
✔ You lose full Executive Member access to member information and networking tools.
✔ You lose the ability to actively add and update Haves and Wants.
✔ You lose full access to member-only FSBO / Database 2 opportunities.
✔ Your ICIWorld IDX and website networking benefits may be limited.
✔ You may miss information from people ready, willing and able to do business.
✔ Most importantly, you may miss a connection and never know it happened.
Members Have Reported More Than $1 Billion in Transactions
Members have reported transactions resulting from connections, information and networking through ICIWorld.
Some members have reported their first transaction. Others have developed repeat business, referrals, new clients, multi-million-dollar transactions and long-term professional relationships.
One successful connection could potentially pay for years of membership.
Before You Decide — Did You Take Advantage of Everything Available?
Some members reach their renewal date without ever using some of the most valuable parts of their membership.
✔ Did you regularly place your Haves?
✔ Did you place buyer and tenant Wants?
✔ Did you keep your information current?
✔ Did you search both current and older information?
✔ Did you use Database 2 / FSBO opportunities?
✔ Did you use keyword searching and price sorting?
✔ Did you install and use ICIWorld IDX links?
✔ Did you use the networking events and workshops?
✔ Did you learn how to recognize opportunities during everyday conversations?
✔ Did you receive your annual member update?
✔ Did we personally review your account using our member checklist?
Information Has Value the Moment You Know It
During an ordinary business day you may hear:
“I might sell if the right buyer came along.”
“I am looking for an apartment building.”
“I need land for development.”
“I have a buyer looking for a shopping centre.”
“I know someone thinking about selling a business.”
Those are not merely conversations. They can be the beginning of a listing, referral, introduction, relationship, commission or completed transaction.
Someone could be searching for exactly that information right now.
The ICIWorld 90-Day Success Pledge
If that is not happening, please contact us and give us the opportunity to personally review what may be missing.
✔ Your Haves and Wants
✔ Subject lines and wording
✔ Categories and pricing
✔ Search techniques
✔ Database 2 / FSBO opportunities
✔ IDX links on your website
✔ Information freshness
✔ Follow-up and networking strategy
✔ New tools and services you may not know about
Results vary according to market conditions, available information, participation, follow-up and how the service is used.
Could Your Membership Effectively Pay for Itself?
If the savings, referrals, leads or business generated through your membership exceed what you paid for it, the membership has effectively paid for itself.
💳 1. Save Money
Eligible annual members can use available ICIWorld VIP Corporate Discount Card benefits to help offset membership costs.
🤝 2. Create Transaction and Referral Opportunities
One transaction or referral resulting from a connection can potentially return many times the cost of membership.
🌐 3. Generate Leads From Your Own Website
ICIWorld IDX links can place searchable Haves and Wants on your website so visitors can discover opportunities and contact you.
👥 4. Receive Membership Referral Benefits
Introducing other qualified real estate professionals to ICIWorld can qualify you for membership referral benefits and help reduce your renewal cost.
Sometimes One Small Issue Can Make an Enormous Difference
If you have not been receiving the results you expected, it may be something very simple:
✔ Information that needs updating
✔ A subject line that could be improved
✔ The wrong category
✔ Missing pricing
✔ Not searching for matching Haves or Wants
✔ Not using Database 2
✔ IDX links that were never installed or checked
✔ Not following up with people you previously met
✔ Not knowing about a new feature, tool or service
Before You Decide Not to Renew, Give Us One Appointment
If ICIWorld has not produced enough value for you, that is exactly when we want to speak with you.
Let us personally review your account, your Haves and Wants, your searches, your IDX links, your marketing, the member checklist and any new services you may not yet be using.
Within one conversation we may identify something that can improve the way you use your membership.
Keep Your Information Working for You
Keep searching.
Keep connecting.
Keep learning.
Keep building relationships.
Keep giving yourself opportunities to do business.
Our goal is not simply to have you renew your membership. Our goal is to help make sure you know what is available and receive meaningful value from it.
