Randall Martin
Team Owner
Four sides and $2mm in sales from just one message!
"Not kidding... just got a second response from a client that closed in 2017 that's been talking about moving (I had no idea they had the itch.)
If both these pan out, we're talking between $1.5MM - $2MM turnarounds. Not bad for ONE email!"
Cassidy Chau
Agent
My first reply in just 12 minutes!
"I setup 3 contacts to test it, sent an email at 3:57 and got my first reply at 4:10. Amazing!"
Her contact said, "Hey there! Just caught this from you in my gmail! I know it's from a list, but it was cool to see and hope you and the family are doing well!"

Five Key Message Types
Happy Grasshopper has delivered hundreds of millions of messages for real estate professionals.
Chirp™ for Knipe Realty takes everything we've learned and puts it in one simple system.
1
Type 1: Email every three weeks
There's an old truth in business: Consistency Equals Professionalism. With Chirp™, you'll never drop the ball or let a relationship drift away again. Our system will prompt you when it's time to send a new message. Simply login and choose, or set it to automatic and we'll pick a message for you.
2
Type 2: Birthday texts and voicemails
For a lot of people, Facebook has erased the ability to make an impact with birthday greetings. With Chirp™, we recommend sending a birthday text a week or more before their birthday, and then we automatically deliver your ringless voicemail birthday message on the big day.
3
Type 3: Transaction anniversary texts and voicemails
The anniversary of your client buying or selling a home is a big deal. Chirp™ makes it effortless to send messaging, there's no excuse for missing this opportunity to make an impact. Every month, we'll remind you of who is having an anniversary and queue messaging for you.
4
Type 4: Quarterly lead harvesting messages
Once each quarter, we'll queue a special type of high-response messaging that leads directly to sales opportunity. In fact, you'll learn there's one magic question you can use in conversation, in P.S. lines, in text and in voicemail drops that nearly always produce a positive response.
5
Type 5: Holiday messages
Holidays are a special time of the year and a fantastic time to reach out to reach out to your database to let them know that you are thinking of them. Select up to 6 holidays to send a text messages and/or voicemail drop with a special holiday greeting to show you care.

Terrific Texts and Voicemail Messages
For best results, send text and voicemail in combination
NOTE: It's considered impolite to send a mass text at a time when you're not available for replies. Schedule your messages to go out when you have time to engage instantly.
Birthday Messaging
Send this text about a week BEFORE their birthday:
Hey {{c.first_name}}!– it's {{u.first_name}} {{u.last_name}}. Am I the first to wish you a Happy Birthday this year? 
I hope so! Do you have any plans?
And this ringless voicemail drop ON their birthday:
Hey, it's me (your first and last name). Happy Birthday! I just wanted to say hi on your special day. Let's catch up soon! Bye!
Transaction Anniversaries
Your past client transaction dates are stored in your MLS or transaction management system. Automate this TEXT message for delivery and expect replies:
Hey {{c.first_name}}– it's {{u.first_name}} {{u.last_name}}. Happy Home-iversary! How are you?
And automate this ringless voicemail drop:
(Hello/Hey there/Hi/) it's me (your name) and I'm calling because this month is the anniversary of buying your home. Congratulations! I hope you're loving it and I'd love to catch up soon. Call me at (your number). Thanks. Bye!
Send Quarterly Lead Harvesting Messages
Set appointments, get referrals, find the gold hiding in your database with texts like this:
It's {{u.first_name}}. Do you have a few minutes this week? I could really use your help with something important.
And deliver YOUR actual voice with ringless voicemail drops like this:
(Heyyyyy / Hi / Hello / Heyo) it's me, (your first and last name) and I'm calling because I was just thinking about you the other day. I hope things are going well for you and would love to hear an update from you. Let's talk soon! Call me!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Chirp™ System is designed as an automated nurture system for your sphere of influence and past clients ONLY utilizing our trademarked Annual Communication Plan format. The system keeps you top of mind by utilizing email, text messaging, and ringless voicemails to help you generate more referrals and repeat business.
Nurture up to 250 clients using a set schedule:
17 emails per year (approximately every 3 weeks) and
6-12 text messages and 6-12 voicemail drops per year.
Text messages and voicemail drops are sent every 3 months as a quarterly check in, one on the contact's birthday, one on the transaction anniversary, and up to 6 specific holidays that you select.
The Chirp™ System does not allow for sending additional emails, text messages, or voicemail drops. If you wish to send more often than the Chirp™ System allows, you would need to upgrade your account to our Nurture or Convert packages. See pricing here.
If you have more than 250 contacts that are true sphere and past clients, then you probably need to move up into one of our larger plans that gives you more flexibility. See our other plans here.
The system only requires an email address to add a contact, but since this system is designed specifically for your sphere of influence and past clients ONLY, you should be able to add much more information. Name, cell phone number, birthday, and transaction anniversary dates can all be added to the system for highly personalized touches.
Yes you can! Handwritten cards are an ala carte purchase for all of our account types, including Chirp™. They are an amazing way to make an impression on your Sphere of Influence and past clients!
Results vary depending on how engaged you are with your contacts. On average, our clients generate between 2 and 12 transactions per year for every 100 contacts they communicate with regularly through our system.
