Section 1 - Weekly Update

Another week has flown by and I thought we’d start with an update on a recent piece of software we’ve been using to find deals.

Utilising advanced technology, LeadSwift scours the internet to gather valuable leads, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual research and data entry. Whether targeting specific industries, geographic locations, or demographics, LeadSwift provides users with a comprehensive database of potential clients primed for engagement.

But LeadSwift doesn't stop at lead generation. Once leads are gathered, its sophisticated automation tools take the reins, streamlining outreach efforts with personalised emails, targeted social media messages, and tailored follow-ups. This automation allows businesses to scale their outreach efforts effortlessly while maintaining quality and efficiency.

We used our free 7-day trial and have started the monthly subscription but so far its a thumbs up with 3 good leads 🙂 and you can find a link to their free trial at the bottom of this newsletter.

Section 2 - Investment Opportunity: BeSafe24

I had a fascinating chat with the founders of this next company and could be perfect for anyone wanting to get into an expanding market. BeSafe24, a pioneering company at the forefront of senior care, combines innovative technology with years of expertise to ensure the safety and well-being of elderly, sick, and isolated individuals. Their solutions are crafted using self-designed algorithms, machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and backbone analysis, providing unparalleled levels of protection and security.

During the initial phase of market launch, BeSafe24 will focus primarily on targeting nursing homes, with plans to expand their marketing efforts to individual consumers in the near future. This strategic approach allows them to establish a strong presence in the senior care sector while laying the groundwork for broader market penetration.

Investing in BeSafe24 presents a compelling opportunity for several reasons:

1. Expansive Market Potential: The senior care market is experiencing sustained growth and is not limited by geographical boundaries, offering vast opportunities for expansion and scalability.

5. Ambitious Growth Projections: Backed by comprehensive market data and in-depth research of user needs, BeSafe24 has outlined ambitious growth projections, indicating a promising trajectory for investors.

6. Investment Opportunity: BeSafe24 is currently raising $500,000 USD for a 20% equity stake in the company. This investment will fuel further product development, market expansion, and strategic partnerships, positioning BeSafe24 for accelerated growth and market dominance.

Looking ahead, BeSafe24 envisions a future where their technology and algorithms are utilised across various industries and settings, including workplaces, construction sites, sports facilities, airports, and train stations. This versatility opens up a myriad of opportunities for expansion and diversification, further bolstering the investment case for BeSafe24.

Section 3 - Property with Paul Langshaw: How will Artificial Intelligence become a valuable tool in the realm of property investing. 

Starting on my investment journey it was essential to gather as much data as possible. Past performance is a great indicator of future performance, but not guarantee.

AI can be used to predict good investment choices, not just using past performance but including, GDP, interest rate forcasts plus many other variables.

Who are the operators using this technology and how can it be accesssed?

Market Analysis & Prediction

Trend Analysis, AI can analyse vast amounts of data to identify emerging market trends, helping investors pinpoint where and when to invest. Predicably these tools are US based but the use of AI tools will hopefully make there way globally.

Price Prediction, Machine learning models can predict rents and property values based on historical rent trends and current market conditions.

Realtor.com  Provides market trend data, local market insights, and price trends

Zillow Research, Offers data on home values and housing market trends

HelloData.ai: Focuses on pricing and revenue management.

Acquisitions & Due Diligence

Deal Sourcing.AI tools scan multiple listing services (MLS) and databases to identify potential investment opportunities based on specific criteria.

Due Diligence Automation, AI assists in analyzing property conditions, neighborhood demographics, and other relevant data to ensure sound investments.

These tools enhance efficiency and reduce manual workload for investors².

In summary, AI empowers property investors by providing insights, automating processes, and enabling strategic decision-making. Whether it's predicting market trends or streamlining due diligence, AI plays a crucial role in modern property investment.

Section 5 - Events, Offers and Announcements: FREE tool from Cameron Herold

Some of you may have tuned into Camerons talk at the Business Acquisition Virtual Summit last month so will be familiar with his work with COO’s but today we have a link to his Vivid Vision Tool.

Here are 5 powerful ways a Vivid Vision can help shape your business:

• The Most Powerful Recruiting Tool: Put your Vivid Vision document on your job postings and simply say, “Read this before applying.” This will immediately set you apart from all your competitors.

• Clarity When Scaling Up: Have confidence that the entire company is aligned on the vision before pivots and/or rapid growth so you grow with a solid foundation.

• ​Get The Right People In The Right Seats: The Vivid Vision is the most powerful tool to get your internal team aligned on where the company is headed and where they see themselves in the equation so they get and stay motivated.

• ​Show Up As A Confident Leader: As the Founder or CEO, you are the one everyone is looking to for vision. You need to be crystal clear of where you are headed so you can lead your team with confidence. The Vivid Vision communicates what is in your mind, on paper.

• ​Get Customers, Vendors, And Key Partners On Board: When you let your key customers, partners, and vendors know where you are headed, they naturally want to support you in getting there.
