Getting Your Team On Board

⚠️
Fear

Agents think AI descriptions sound robotic and generic

💡
Response

Run A/B test: Agent-written vs AI-generated. Track engagement rates for 2 weeks. Show AI posts get 34% more clicks.

Result

Agents see data, not opinion. Most start using AI for first draft, then personalize.

⚠️
Fear

Marketing worried they'll be replaced by automation

💡
Response

Show time breakdown: 80% of old job was repetitive writing. New job: strategy, brand voice, campaign planning (higher value work).

Result

Frame as 'promotion' not 'replacement'. Marketing becomes strategic, not tactical.

⚠️
Fear

Operations concerned about compliance with AI-generated content

💡
Response

Demo the validation layer: AI flags missing disclosures, checks against MLS rules, requires human approval before publish.

Result

Ops sees it's more compliant than manual process. Becomes biggest advocate.

⚠️
Fear

Brokerage lead worried about upfront cost and learning curve

💡
Response

Calculate ROI: $3,500/month investment saves 45 hours/week team time = $11,250/month at $50/hour. 9-day payback.

Result

Show weekly savings chart. Decision becomes obvious when framed as investment, not expense.

⚠️
Fear

Agents don't want to change their existing workflow

💡
Response

Start with 3 volunteer agents for 30-day pilot. Let them show results to rest of team. Peer adoption works better than top-down mandate.

Result

After pilot, other agents ask 'when can I get access?' FOMO drives adoption.
