In Episode 70 of the Networker’s Tour Guide podcast, host Faithann Basore shares a solo episode adapted from a recent Facebook Live, turning real-time teaching into a practical, on-the-go resource for networkers.

Faithann opens the episode with a brief update on the Realtor-Ready conversations, sharing that there is one more dedicated Realtor-Ready episode coming next—and that additional Realtor-Ready discussions will be sprinkled throughout the year. These conversations are designed to help professionals who work alongside realtors better understand how to build trust, credibility, and long-term referral relationships.

From there, the focus shifts to one-to-one conversations and how to use them more intentionally—especially when meeting with realtors and professionals who support the real estate industry.

Rather than treating one-to-ones as casual coffee meetings or surface-level check-ins, Faithann breaks down how to approach these conversations with purpose, curiosity, and clarity so they lead to stronger relationships over time.

• Why one-to-one meetings matter more than most people realize
• How to approach one-to-ones with realtors and real-estate-adjacent professionals
• What kinds of questions lead to better understanding and stronger trust
• How to move beyond “what do you do?” conversations
• Why consistency and follow-through are key to becoming referral-worthy

This episode is especially helpful for business owners, sales professionals, and service providers who want to be more intentional in their networking—particularly when building relationships within the real estate ecosystem.

🎧 If you want your one-to-one meetings to feel more natural, more strategic, and more effective, this episode will give you practical insight you can use right away.
