SuperApp (Sharran Srivatsaa & Pritesh Damani)

The real estate industry is the last industry to undergo digital transformation.

A lot of the services are completely fragmented, involving people, tools, technology, services, and a tremendous amount of regulatory oversight. This has forced various companies to innovate parts of the ecosystem but nobody has been able to build a unified solution.

Because of this, the consumer still has an extremely disjointed, fragmented, and frustrating experience trying to bring all of these pieces together from the start to finish of a real estate transaction.

The idea of a super app is a futuristic concept that allows for the WeChat-ification or Amazon-ification of the experience, where the consumer is able to have a smooth and seamless experience, while the app/company is able to manage all the disjointed pieces behind the scenes.

We call this “The SuperApp” or the real estate holy grail. We believe that the quest for this holy grail will drive new innovation, challenge existing beliefs, battle-test traditional assumptions, and force the reimagining of real estate as it has never been done before.

The goal of this podcast is to explore the practical side of how this is going to happen at the intersection of consumer psychology, technological innovation, and real estate advisory.

Building a solid team is the first step in leading your business toward success. The second step is keeping your team's performance high so it drives results. As a business leader, you must possess the ability to bring out the best in yourself and others. But how exactly do you drive performance? How can you empower your team members while holding them accountable?

In this episode, Sharran and Pritesh discuss the factors driving a high-performance culture. They examine how to balance empowerment and accountability and encourage team members to work on exciting projects without losing focus on mundane tasks that the company needs. Discover the four results that drive performance and see how to implement them in your organization. 

“If you're in the agent attraction world and want to grow your team, show them the stuff you've built.”

What part of your service can you productize? And why would you want to do that? Service productization is a business strategy that lets you develop high-value productized offers for your ideal clients that can systematically grow your business over time. 

When offering consulting or digital marketing services, it is easy to get lost in client requirements. But if you are clear about your offer, you can attract the right clients with high-value pitches without chasing every customer. 

Productization of services does not mean selling products. It means selling clearly defined services where your clients immediately know what they get from your offer without needing to ask multiple questions. However, how exactly do you productize a service business?

In this episode, Sharran provides three strategic steps to help you distinguish yourself from your competition. If you can implement this strategy, you will win big time. 

“Showcase the complexity but deliver the simplicity. If your client doesn't understand the complexity of everything you do, they don't really appreciate the simplicity you're delivering for them.”

In today's highly competitive business environment, innovation has become a significant driver of success. Companies that can effectively innovate and bring new products, services, or processes to the market often gain a significant competitive advantage.

“No matter what you're building, no matter what you're creating, the faster you fail, the more and more you could ship, the more you learn, and that's gonna get you the product of the vision of your dreams.”

When a great idea sparks in your head, how much time do you spend deliberating whether or not to pursue it? If you want to achieve a goal, you owe it to yourself to find the fastest way to get it done. 

Many people prefer to avoid delays and are willing to pay for speed, so if you can find a way to provide what people need quickly, you'll have a competitive advantage. 

Every minute that you can eliminate from a process or activity, such as closing a sale, developing a product, and getting your product to the market, saves you time and makes you more money. 

In this episode, Sharran and Pritesh discuss the idea that “success loves speed.” Do you have an idea? What are you waiting for? 

“Oftentimes, you can't make a decision in a basement. You want to go to the market. The reason is because your customers tell you what they really want.”
