You and another agent post the exact same content on the exact same day. Yours gets 12 likes and zero DMs. Theirs gets 200 likes and three new clients.

Why???

Because one of you has built trust, and one of you is still chasing virality as a strategy.

In this episode, Chelsea and Kayla are diving deep into the one thing that makes or breaks your marketing success: TRUST. From why video is still non-negotiable to how to turn one client story into 20 pieces of scroll-stopping content, this episode is packed with practical strategies that'll help you build the kind of trust that turns followers into lifelong clients.

The girls discuss:

♡ Why some agents get amazing results while others get radio silence, even with similar content

♡ The "trust recession" and how consumer behavior has shifted

♡ How to show up as a thought leader in your content

♡ Why testimonial graphics might be doing more harm than good

♡ How your energy and confidence directly impact trust

♡ How to avoid tone-deaf marketing that pushes people away
