00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:05.600
In today's episode, from real estate to

2
00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:08.080
any business: less lead loss,

3
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.360
more sales.

4
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:14.839
Hello, everyone. Welcome to

5
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.199
the XMACNA podcast. I'm Gustavo

6
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.160
Fechus, and today I have the pleasure, once

7
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.519
again, to talk with Daniel

8
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.199
Valladares, whom I thank for

9
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:26.160
being available, Daniel, so we can

10
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.519
always continue here with our

11
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.399
reflections about aspects of

12
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.000
the digital worker, XMACNA's services,

13
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.360
and how we can understand

14
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:42.960
the applications that come from the solutions we've

15
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.360
been developing here, right?

16
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:47.600
Today we decided, Daniel, to

17
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.760
talk about a sector

18
00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:52.399
that is very important and for which we have

19
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.280
a lot of affinity from the perspective of

20
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.280
implementing this technology, which is

21
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.519
the real estate sector, right? And I'd like to

22
00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:02.399
bring you in here, Daniel, to

23
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.239
talk about that from the following

24
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.159
perspective. It seems to me that this sector

25
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.000
lacks the kind of solution that we're

26
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.080
ready to provide here,

27
00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:14.840
mainly because we

28
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:16.520
are available for quality service

29
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:19.000
at any time. So

30
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.119
raise your hand if you're the first one, right,

31
00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:23.680
A real estate agency that's never needed it, right?

32
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.159
True, one of those.

33
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:27.799
Of these features, which is of a

34
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.640
qualified customer service and a

35
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.640
service that can be available 24x7.

36
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.200
And this is an audience, isn't it?

37
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.040
Right? I mean, anyone who looks for this type of

38
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.000
service will search at the most

39
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.799
inconvenient hours, isn't that right? So,

40
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.439
looking for your next apartment is also

41
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.840
a nighttime task, or something for the weekend,

42
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.159
late at night, and not always

43
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.680
are we all on duty at all times.

44
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.880
Anyway, go ahead, Daniel, tell me a bit

45
00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:59.079
about how you also see

46
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.320
the ways technology and

47
00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:05.399
artificial intelligence in particular

48
00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:09.959
can bring to the real estate sector.

49
00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:13.080
Great. Well, before anything else,

50
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.080
thank you very much for everyone listening,

51
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.160
thanks also for the invitation

52
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:20.760
XMACNA, right? Our meetings here are getting

53
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:23.879
more and more frequent and I hope it stays that way.

54
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.160
So, folks, here's the thing, I

55
00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:29.000
actually have quite a bit of experience, you know,

56
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.680
Gustavo. I admit to you that I

57
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.760
like searching for properties. Some people already love it,

58
00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:36.920
people like all kinds of things, right? You

59
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:38.319
really have to respect diversity,

60
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.640
for real. That's true. I even joke with

61
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:42.319
my wife. When we move into a new

62
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.760
place, I always tell her: hey,

63
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:46.400
we’ll stay here for 2 or 3 years,

64
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.159
tops.

65
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.599
She goes crazy. Yeah, my wife loves

66
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:51.920
this experience.

67
00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:55.159
How can anyone like moving into a

68
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.400
new place and say: “I’ll stay here for

69
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.239
at most two years”?

70
00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:00.640
And now? In fact, right now we’re

71
00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:03.200
going through this moving process. Next

72
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:03.879
year we have

73
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:04.840
for your delight.

74
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.640
New house. Yeah, for me it’s exciting.

75
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:07.560
I think it’s exciting.

76
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.440
But with this one I made a deal with her to

77
00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.560
stay at least 5 years, to hold out a bit

78
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.080
longer—maybe five and a half tops.

79
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.400
Exactly.

80
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.400
And well, I agree with what you said.

81
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.640
I think that this,

82
00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:24.959
this is such a special moment to find a

83
00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:27.640
home, or even to find an

84
00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:29.599
office for your company, or to help a

85
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.360
family member find a place to live,

86
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.720
it’s a very special moment

87
00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:37.760
that involves a lot of things, but it’s

88
00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:41.120
one you often have to do

89
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.840
outside business hours, you know?

90
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.519
So that ends up happening a lot.

91
00:03:46.519 --> 00:03:49.599
This often falls into these issues.

92
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.680
And there’s a very important point too, which is

93
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.239
about the lives of the brokers, right? Because

94
00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:56.519
many brokers, Gustavo, work

95
00:03:56.519 --> 00:03:58.439
on Saturdays and Sundays because of the

96
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.519
sales shifts, right? So there are

97
00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:03.400
thousands of weekend sales shifts out there,

98
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.480
so brokers are

99
00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:09.079
working, but even though they are

100
00:04:09.079 --> 00:04:11.599
there working, there’s the thing that they

101
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.280
are working in an on-site sales shift,

102
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.359
serving clients in person, so they end up

103
00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:19.639
not having time to really pay attention

104
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.840
to those who are coming in on

105
00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:25.240
WhatsApp, right? So, that’s a pain point

106
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.880
that’s very common in this field, and also

107
00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:31.919
lately, right, especially from

108
00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:35.840
last year, 2024, to this year, 2025,

109
00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:38.759
which is almost ending now. But it’s

110
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.440
a growing trend, the trend

111
00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:45.360
for brokers and real estate agencies

112
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.680
to invest more and more in

113
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.560
traffic, especially for new real estate projects.

114
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.120
So, there’s an effort there

115
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.880
with investments, sometimes even by

116
00:04:55.880 --> 00:04:58.080
the broker themselves, who are usually

117
00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:01.440
self-employed as well. And then, there’s a

118
00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:03.880
need to optimize this

119
00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:05.440
investment that’s being made in

120
00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:08.759
traffic, working to make

121
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.000
so that, um, the leads are

122
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.039
qualified, attended to right when

123
00:05:14.039 --> 00:05:16.560
they reach out, right? To avoid

124
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.680
cold leads and so on, right? So, already

125
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.680
there's a lot. Just with that, there's already a lot,

126
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:23.199
right?

127
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.560
Yeah, I think we could stop already

128
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.319
right here, thank our audience and

129
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.360
all that, right?

130
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.120
It's a lot of topics, Daniel. Look, you

131
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.759
brought up very important points. First

132
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.160
off, pay attention to WhatsApp

133
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.240
while helping clients.

134
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:37.400
Yeah,

135
00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:40.560
right? Or, you know, while you're resting, you still work,

136
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:42.880
like that old saying. Because,

137
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.160
why? Because we see on WhatsApp

138
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.440
and in lots of jobs, in lots of

139
00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:50.880
activities, there's a lot of time spent,

140
00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:53.199
yeah, on cold leads, on leads that don't

141
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.479
make sense, leads that aren't a good fit

142
00:05:55.479 --> 00:05:56.960
for your product, for what you're

143
00:05:56.960 --> 00:05:58.840
offering, with your portfolio and so on,

144
00:05:58.840 --> 00:06:01.600
right? So, automating this process

145
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.160
doesn't at all mean

146
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.240
losing the quality of your service,

147
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.919
losing the human touch in your service, the

148
00:06:08.919 --> 00:06:12.440
personalization of your approach, your

149
00:06:12.440 --> 00:06:16.280
voice, your brand, your unique way of

150
00:06:16.280 --> 00:06:19.039
doing this initial welcoming that

151
00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:21.000
We look for it. On the contrary, we

152
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.560
do this through a digital employee.

153
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.800
Completely customized for your

154
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.240
business, with your own language, we

155
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.880
can finally make it so you

156
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:34.599
give more attention to the lead that truly

157
00:06:34.599 --> 00:06:36.720
matters, and less attention

158
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.880
to a lead that, therefore, won't

159
00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:41.080
make sense, right? For whatever reasons.

160
00:06:41.080 --> 00:06:44.680
And besides us being able

161
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.360
to qualify the service through

162
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.280
WhatsApp, there’s a better use of

163
00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:53.599
time for the people who really

164
00:06:53.599 --> 00:06:55.599
are more interested in your

165
00:06:55.599 --> 00:06:57.759
product and your business. You brought up

166
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.120
a very important phenomenon, which is

167
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.000
practically the 'influencer realtor',

168
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.560
there’s also that, right? It's not just the

169
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.759
properties themselves as the center of

170
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.840
paid traffic, right? But the

171
00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:12.960
realtor is often the face of it,

172
00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:16.240
he’s present as a 'character' now as well,

173
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.520
showing up in a way, let's say,

174
00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:21.720
that’s really necessary right now.

175
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.720
So, if there’s already a trend of

176
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.280
investment in paid traffic, which

177
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:30.319
is getting more and more expensive for

178
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.120
our efforts and in any segment,

179
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.639
having a lead qualifier in place, right,

180
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.520
to welcome that lead and actually

181
00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:41.960
Giving the proper destination seems to me

182
00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:44.680
to make a lot of sense for, yeah

183
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.840
to boost the results. After all,

184
00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:49.159
that's what we're talking about, right?

185
00:07:49.159 --> 00:07:50.759
Right?

186
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.879
Yeah, totally. And I think it's cool for us to

187
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.240
translate it here also into

188
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.879
practical terms, right Gustavo? Because when we

189
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.680
bring this kind of information,

190
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.919
I feel like sometimes it doesn't seem so

191
00:08:02.919 --> 00:08:04.440
tangible

192
00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:06.919
for someone who is actually a broker or

193
00:08:06.919 --> 00:08:08.720
for someone who owns a real estate agency, right?

194
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.120
But then, right? In practice, how does

195
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.879
this thing work? So, in

196
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.400
practice,

197
00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:16.080
in practice, how is this going to

198
00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:17.759
work? Could you develop this

199
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.759
topic for us?

200
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.039
Very good. So let's go. In practice,

201
00:08:22.039 --> 00:08:23.800
guys, here's the thing: a digital employee

202
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.360
will be connected there on your

203
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.840
WhatsApp, right, or on the agency's WhatsApp,

204
00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:33.159
and also with the possibility

205
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.719
of phone calls. So you can have a

206
00:08:35.719 --> 00:08:38.039
phone number to receive, right,

207
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.519
make the digital employee

208
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.360
receive calls from clients, right, because

209
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.200
in the case of real estate agencies, Gustavo,

210
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.399
there are still people who call there, right,

211
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.040
to say: "Look, I haven't received my

212
00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:54.320
rental invoice, right? No, I didn't receive the

213
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.560
my, well, any information

214
00:08:56.560 --> 00:08:59.120
at all." So, there is this possibility

215
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.600
of having a digital employee there,

216
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.440
also answering the phone, right?

217
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.920
And where will it actually work,

218
00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:09.800
right? So, the first step here is

219
00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:11.399
qualification. As soon as the client

220
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.200
arrives, it can already interact

221
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.480
with the client, gather information

222
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.880
to, for example, find out if they are already

223
00:09:19.880 --> 00:09:22.480
an active client or not, if they want to

224
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.279
rent, buy, if it’s a purchase, if it's

225
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.920
to live in, or to invest. So

226
00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:30.440
it will already be able to do a series of

227
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.959
questions to assess their qualification

228
00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:35.800
as a lead, including questions

229
00:09:35.800 --> 00:09:38.040
that are more delicate, which people sometimes

230
00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:39.920
hesitate to ask, like, for

231
00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:42.040
example, when you want to invest in this

232
00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:44.440
process, right? The digital employee,

233
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.279
doesn't have, it won't have that impulse

234
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:49.839
to think: "Oh, I'm not going to say this

235
00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:52.880
because maybe I'll lose the negotiation

236
00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:54.760
here, right?" And that's because it also won't

237
00:09:54.760 --> 00:09:56.440
lose the negotiation because of that,

238
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.480
right? In fact, it will support even more

239
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:01.200
there. But anyway, people sometimes

240
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.360
have a hard time

241
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.320
to go further with some questions that the

242
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.920
digital assistant won't have, and it

243
00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:10.560
will be able, in this way, to deliver you a

244
00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:13.240
much more qualified lead. So,

245
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.519
it asked several questions there, it

246
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.399
will identify whether that lead is or

247
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.360
is not qualified. Once it qualifies the lead, it

248
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.279
has a few possibilities. So, it

249
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.720
can, for example, provide a link for

250
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.160
scheduling a visit to the

251
00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:31.959
property or a visit to the real estate agency

252
00:10:31.959 --> 00:10:34.200
or even to the sales stand, right? So it

253
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.519
can have this link there for making

254
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.079
this appointment, right? It can also

255
00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:43.120
transfer the service to a

256
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.519
secondary WhatsApp. So, for example,

257
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.240
let's suppose you have the WhatsApp

258
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.800
of the real estate agency, where the

259
00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:49.959
digital agent is. It can

260
00:10:49.959 --> 00:10:52.000
transfer this service to a

261
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.839
different human realtor. How does it

262
00:10:54.839 --> 00:10:57.600
do that? Also through a link

263
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.440
or through customized integrations

264
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.000
that's also an option, right? So,

265
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.200
it provided the service,

266
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.320
qualified the lead, booked an appointment,

267
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.320
right? Beyond that, it also has

268
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.440
the ability to answer questions

269
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.680
from current clients as well. So,

270
00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:18.760
for example, that client who I

271
00:11:18.760 --> 00:11:21.079
I mentioned earlier, you know, that

272
00:11:21.079 --> 00:11:23.560
sometimes people want information about a

273
00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:25.680
boleto that didn't arrive, they can get in

274
00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:29.279
touch, ask about it, and then,

275
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.920
there can be an explanation right away saying:

276
00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:32.160
"Look, you didn't get the boleto because

277
00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:35.160
we issue boletos every 10th of the month,

278
00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:37.800
and today is only the 5th, so that's why

279
00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:40.000
you haven't received your boleto, or otherwise:

280
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.240
"Oh, shoot, what a shame. Let's review

281
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.959
what happened here and direct

282
00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:46.680
this

283
00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:49.480
support directly to your finance team,

284
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.000
for example. In the same way

285
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.880
>> open a ticket, right, Daniel? I think that,

286
00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:56.240
you know, it's not going to answer everything,

287
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.560
even though it could, but what we're

288
00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:00.720
proposing here is the

289
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.800
possibility of having a mediator

290
00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:05.720
there for the different areas, in a

291
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:06.600
very qualified way.

292
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.079
>> Exactly, man. It's a member of your

293
00:12:08.079 --> 00:12:10.760
team, right? Period. I think that's

294
00:12:10.760 --> 00:12:12.720
the best definition. It's truly a member

295
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.760
of your team. In fact, there are

296
00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:18.639
a series of systems usually

297
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.519
used in real estate management,

298
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.000
or CRMs, you know, to manage

299
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.399
those leads commercially. And the

300
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.920
digital employee, depending on this

301
00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:31.480
The system, if it's a system that

302
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.639
allows it, the digital assistant has

303
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.639
even the possibility to integrate with the

304
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.480
system to add

305
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.399
leads, to move cards

306
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.959
in the CRM, right? This is always analyzed

307
00:12:45.959 --> 00:12:48.560
case by case, right, Gustavo? But we

308
00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:52.240
do have this possibility as long as the

309
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.680
system on the other side also supports it,

310
00:12:54.680 --> 00:12:56.480
right? Then we can work

311
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.360
in an extremely integrated way,

312
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.680
making database queries,

313
00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:04.000
to check which

314
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.959
properties are available and, in short, it’s possible to

315
00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:09.959
scale this experience to an

316
00:13:09.959 --> 00:13:14.120
amazing level, depending on how much that

317
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.480
particular player is willing to

318
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.760
do. But anyway, the

319
00:13:20.760 --> 00:13:23.839
basic thing, which is having a digital

320
00:13:23.839 --> 00:13:26.079
assistant there to qualify the

321
00:13:26.079 --> 00:13:28.480
lead, that initial triage

322
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:32.240
and send it to scheduling or

323
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.560
direct it to a specific

324
00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:36.279
department, even with the

325
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.000
possibility of opening tickets.

326
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.800
That’s definitely already something

327
00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:43.000
transformational enough that if one

328
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.040
day the battery runs out and it stops

329
00:13:46.040 --> 00:13:48.360
working for a few minutes, you’ll

330
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.240
quickly realize that you need it.

331
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.560
Reconnect them again, because that's how it is.

332
00:13:54.560 --> 00:13:55.279
It'll be missed.

333
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.079
It'll be missed, just like I miss it myself.

334
00:13:58.079 --> 00:14:00.680
If my assistant here

335
00:14:00.680 --> 00:14:03.519
for some reason goes for a coffee, I already

336
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.639
bring her back right away, because

337
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.560
it makes a difference. It's about having or not having the

338
00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:11.480
digital employee. From the moment

339
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.440
you experience this, you won't

340
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:15.720
want anything else.

341
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.680
Yeah, I was going to say, man, you can do everything and

342
00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:18.839
all that, we just don't yet have a

343
00:14:18.839 --> 00:14:21.759
hologram, right, to take a person

344
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.279
to the place, or go upstairs.

345
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.079
Actually, I want to introduce this innovation

346
00:14:25.079 --> 00:14:26.480
here.

347
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.079
Next week, stay tuned,

348
00:14:29.079 --> 00:14:33.360
Daniel. Trying to give a, uh,

349
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.199
wrap-up, like a summary of the

350
00:14:36.199 --> 00:14:38.360
various points you brought up for us.

351
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.440
So, we're talking about a DE, a

352
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:42.800
digital employee who is able to

353
00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:46.560
work in reception, right, in the

354
00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:49.600
reception and distribution

355
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.600
of all types of service for

356
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:55.000
any area within your business.

357
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.839
Sales, after-sales, and support, right?

358
00:14:57.839 --> 00:14:59.120
Because sometimes we think

359
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.639
that, well, greeting the client who's

360
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.399
interested, but sometimes the support

361
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.759
It requires demand, or rather, it requires a

362
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.959
significant share of the effort in

363
00:15:11.959 --> 00:15:14.240
servicing a business, right? Because

364
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.240
after a sale, we have this entire

365
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.680
customer portfolio that needs to be

366
00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:18.959
maintained, it needs to keep being

367
00:15:18.959 --> 00:15:21.360
engaged with, right? So, not only, let's say,

368
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.120
from the storefront out, from the counter

369
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.079
outwards, but also from the counter inwards,

370
00:15:26.079 --> 00:15:29.160
we also have many applications that are

371
00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:32.079
completely plausible for optimizing

372
00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:35.560
operational processes of the

373
00:15:35.560 --> 00:15:36.480
sector.

374
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.959
Man, you also mentioned... I just wanted to

375
00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:40.360
make a point here, which is this:

376
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.199
you talked about integrations. When we

377
00:15:42.199 --> 00:15:44.000
open up this umbrella of

378
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.880
integrations with your own CRM, with your own database,

379
00:15:46.880 --> 00:15:48.959
man, then we

380
00:15:48.959 --> 00:15:50.920
can, via WhatsApp, do the kind of

381
00:15:50.920 --> 00:15:52.839
query that everyone would like

382
00:15:52.839 --> 00:15:55.680
to have right in the real estate agency's catalog,

383
00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:59.440
right? Without having to deal with 78

384
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.959
filters, right? Anyway, please go back to your

385
00:16:02.959 --> 00:16:04.839
point there, please.

386
00:16:04.839 --> 00:16:06.720
Yeah, no, one point I think is important

387
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:10.480
as well is this, right? I, well, because

388
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.720
of that path I told you about earlier,

389
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.279
my contact ended up

390
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.000
circulating on some lists of

391
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.240
Brokers. I often get

392
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.959
messages from brokers telling me

393
00:16:23.959 --> 00:16:27.240
about a launch, about some

394
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.720
news there in the real estate market

395
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.720
to offer me, right? A house,

396
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:38.199
an apartment, etc. And their approach, you know,

397
00:16:38.199 --> 00:16:41.160
tends to be very similar for all of them

398
00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:44.680
which is: like 500 photos and a

399
00:16:44.680 --> 00:16:47.680
very long, detailed description,

400
00:16:47.680 --> 00:16:50.120
of what the property is. And so,

401
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.639
usually, in everyday life, it ends up

402
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.120
being ignored, because you’ll look

403
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.639
at that and say: "Geez, another

404
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.519
marketing message." And unless

405
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.399
you're there with some time to

406
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.559
go through that or, I don’t know, you

407
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.199
for some reason, look at it in your free

408
00:17:06.199 --> 00:17:08.280
moment and think: "Let me have a look

409
00:17:08.280 --> 00:17:10.600
at what's going on." Well, the

410
00:17:10.600 --> 00:17:12.760
likelihood of that message being

411
00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:15.799
ignored is very high, right? I’d say

412
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.760
almost 100%, because that’s what happens

413
00:17:18.760 --> 00:17:20.880
here. Even if I’m at the point where

414
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.319
I’m looking for something, wanting to find

415
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.640
something, I still won’t

416
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.880
spend much time on that, I’ll just

417
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.320
actively search for what I

418
00:17:31.320 --> 00:17:35.880
want. So, what does this, what’s

419
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.120
the power of the digital employee in

420
00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:42.320
this process? It’s this: you’ll be able to

421
00:17:42.320 --> 00:17:45.440
sending messages like you already do, right?

422
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.919
just like brokers usually do, but,

423
00:17:48.919 --> 00:17:52.280
they usually do this kind of digital pamphleteering,

424
00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:55.320
you know, digital, as I call it here.

425
00:17:55.320 --> 00:17:57.880
Because most likely, they won't be able to

426
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.159
handle following up on

427
00:18:01.159 --> 00:18:04.120
so many things. Think about it,

428
00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:05.559
if I send out a 'Good afternoon',

429
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.640
how are you? to 500 people,

430
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.280
and 200 reply, that's already a lot to handle,

431
00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:14.480
right? That's a lot to keep up with. But if I

432
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.640
have a digital assistant working,

433
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.520
I can send a message that

434
00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:23.039
would actually be more appropriate to even

435
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.880
qualify the lead. Why? Sometimes the

436
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.120
lead doesn't want that specific product

437
00:18:28.120 --> 00:18:30.240
you're sending at that moment,

438
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.600
but if you treat them properly,

439
00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:34.080
in the right way, maybe you'll

440
00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:35.799
find out they’re interested in another

441
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.080
product that you can also sell, right?

442
00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:41.320
So you're going to work that lead better.

443
00:18:41.320 --> 00:18:42.840
So you could send

444
00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:44.960
a message like: 'Good afternoon,

445
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.559
how are you? How is your

446
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.760
property search going right now?'

447
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:53.360
Period. And then the person will say: 'Oh,

448
00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:55.240
I’m looking, I’m not looking, I want to

449
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.600
buy, I want to rent, I want to invest.'

450
00:18:57.600 --> 00:19:01.159
Whatever the answer, the digital assistant

451
00:19:01.159 --> 00:19:04.159
will work on this for you. He will

452
00:19:04.159 --> 00:19:06.440
qualify that lead and, if that lead

453
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.080
is at the right moment, he will

454
00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:12.200
schedule a meeting, a visit. He will find

455
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.000
a way for you to move forward with

456
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.600
that lead in a much more

457
00:19:17.600 --> 00:19:21.559
effective way. And I'll tell you more, that lead

458
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.720
that we call a lead here, right? It seems

459
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.840
like it's just a line in a spreadsheet,

460
00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:28.520
right? But we have to remember it's a

461
00:19:28.520 --> 00:19:31.640
person on the other side, right? So,

462
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:34.880
when we treat this person better,

463
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.720
we deliver a better experience,

464
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.200
less intrusive, and therefore more

465
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:41.720
persuasive.

466
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.799
Also, even if at that moment

467
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.640
the person doesn't want it, when they do,

468
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.039
you can be sure they will call you

469
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.480
because they'll say: "Wow, Gustavo

470
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.039
gave me great service,

471
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.280
so it's worth asking him

472
00:19:55.280 --> 00:19:57.360
if he has something that interests me

473
00:19:57.360 --> 00:20:00.039
right now, isn't it? So that's

474
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.039
extremely relevant, okay?

475
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.799
>> Yes, yes, it's long-term cultivation, right?

476
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.559
>> Exactly. After all, a property isn't

477
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.240
an impulse buy, right,

478
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:10.640
Gustavo? It's rare that you will have a

479
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.360
checkout link there saying 'enter your

480
00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:15.280
credit card.'

481
00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:17.840
Exactly. Well, Daniel, we

482
00:20:17.840 --> 00:20:20.000
could go on for a long time.

483
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.679
For sure, there's a lot to talk about, right?

484
00:20:22.679 --> 00:20:26.159
About the different aspects

485
00:20:26.159 --> 00:20:28.760
that are related to our

486
00:20:28.760 --> 00:20:32.720
main topic. I would just like to

487
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.640
also draw attention, Daniel, to

488
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.200
regard to the topic we've been

489
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.480
discussing here, to our colleagues who are

490
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.520
with us in the XMACNA Partner program,

491
00:20:43.520 --> 00:20:46.600
the XMACNA partnership program.

492
00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:48.480
Because when we talk about the real estate segment,

493
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.919
real estate agencies, we are usually dealing

494
00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:53.960
often with medium-sized clients.

495
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:56.880
There are clients who represent

496
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.960
large groups on their own, right? So

497
00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.840
the same real estate agency can have, you know,

498
00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:05.280
divisions in several cities. And we

499
00:21:05.280 --> 00:21:08.159
have a segment that demands a lot of

500
00:21:08.159 --> 00:21:10.159
interaction. So, once you are

501
00:21:10.159 --> 00:21:13.640
there, you are, you know, with an FD at the

502
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:15.400
door welcoming the public,

503
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.960
we are dealing with high

504
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.799
volumes of interaction, with the possibility

505
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:24.520
of scaling up quickly and,

506
00:21:24.520 --> 00:21:26.360
ultimately, we are still talking about a

507
00:21:26.360 --> 00:21:29.480
market that is quite analog in many ways,

508
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:31.200
right? So, a market in which

509
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.559
there's still a lot of room for us

510
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.240
to bring in technology, and XMACNA is

511
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.640
Also very well positioned for this

512
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.120
type of service. So, I wanted

513
00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:43.640
to hear your final words, Daniel,

514
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:45.799
regarding this, because it seems to me that

515
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:47.799
there is indeed an important window of

516
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.799
opportunity in this sector. And you who

517
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.320
are leading this project

518
00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:56.159
with us, I think it would be great to get

519
00:21:56.159 --> 00:21:59.200
your thoughts on that.

520
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.240
Absolutely. It's very attractive and

521
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.720
especially when we look

522
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:08.360
at a sector, Gustavo, where we

523
00:22:08.360 --> 00:22:10.240
say, "Wow, this sector is still

524
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:11.840
a bit more

525
00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:14.720
analog." I see that as a good thing,

526
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.360
because I say, 'Wow, here I have

527
00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:20.640
great work opportunities.' And

528
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:23.000
like I usually say, right, sales is

529
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:24.679
about helping the client to

530
00:22:24.679 --> 00:22:27.080
buy at the end of the day, showing

531
00:22:27.080 --> 00:22:29.799
them how that solution

532
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:32.799
fits into their day-to-day and business.

533
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.400
When we take this approach,

534
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.559
when we show a realtor

535
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:40.840
or an agency the transformation

536
00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:43.640
that can happen to their business through the

537
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:45.200
use of a digital employee,

538
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.200
improving service quality,

539
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.240
improving lead qualification, and so on,

540
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.360
everything we've already discussed here,

541
00:22:52.360 --> 00:22:55.080
We help, at least in the short term,

542
00:22:55.080 --> 00:22:58.440
in the short and medium term, this player to

543
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:01.679
stand out in the market, right? And then,

544
00:23:01.679 --> 00:23:04.600
obviously, like any market movement,

545
00:23:04.600 --> 00:23:07.039
from the moment that

546
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.200
someone starts doing it, the neighbor sees it,

547
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.600
says: "Wow, that's cool," and starts doing it

548
00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:15.200
too. But those who start first, leave

549
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:17.200
ahead as well. And, you know, that old

550
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.760
saying: the early bird gets

551
00:23:19.760 --> 00:23:22.640
the freshest water, right? So, the clients who

552
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.400
we manage to bring in and implement

553
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.840
the digital employee now, they are

554
00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:33.279
pulling ahead of the

555
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.640
others and they're going to gain a

556
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.600
significant lead, right? You see it in

557
00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:41.520
Formula 1, seconds make all the difference

558
00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:44.720
when that competitor is in the

559
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.000
lead, right? So here we're

560
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:50.640
sometimes talking about being months ahead

561
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:54.200
of the competition, which you gain

562
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.440
by using a digital employee,

563
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:59.440
better lead qualification,

564
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.320
making better use of the leads, right? Because

565
00:24:02.320 --> 00:24:05.840
whether it’s a list you bought,

566
00:24:05.840 --> 00:24:07.799
and when I say 'bought', I mean when

567
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:09.679
you’re investing in traffic, in a way

568
00:24:09.679 --> 00:24:11.320
you're buying a contact list

569
00:24:11.320 --> 00:24:13.600
or a lead list, right? So

570
00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:17.080
you've already invested in generating that lead.

571
00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:19.559
So, from the moment they arrive

572
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.039
inside the company, the better we

573
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.200
can work with them, deliver

574
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.080
quality information, provide good

575
00:24:26.080 --> 00:24:28.640
service, qualify, and understand

576
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.559
the time they have to make that

577
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:34.760
decision, the more we

578
00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:38.679
can generate results for the business and

579
00:24:38.679 --> 00:24:41.960
the more we can evolve and stay ahead

580
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.120
of the competition, right? So, that’s

581
00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:46.880
the level of transformation that

582
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:49.000
we’re talking about here for these

583
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.039
businesses often seen as more

584
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:54.760
analog, right? So, look at this

585
00:24:54.760 --> 00:24:59.080
business and let’s go show how

586
00:24:59.080 --> 00:25:02.159
we can support in this process of

587
00:25:02.159 --> 00:25:03.919
business growth,

588
00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:08.399
scalability, and sales.

589
00:25:08.399 --> 00:25:10.760
