Steven Jack Butala:I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:I'm Jill DeWit, and this is the Land Academy Show.

Steven Jack Butala:This is episode number 1937. Today, we are talking in-depth about the data. How the data will tell you exactly what to do. Then later on in the show we'll talk about how to avoid sending overpriced mailers. Two really popular topics that our staff tells us are popular in Discord, and popular in the whole customer service environment for Land Academy members.

Jill K DeWit:Always. It's funny, if you send overpriced offers, you know right away because everybody calls you back, and they love you. It's hilarious. I have to pause and say something right now, I just realized. As I'm walking into your office here to record this, I realized for whatever reason, at this point in my life, I'm excited about the weirdest things. Let me tell you what I'm excited about this week. We just had two cars serviced, and our air conditioning check-up kind of thing at the house, and it all came back that nothing was needed. I'm like,"Really?"It always seems that your car goes in, it needs something, and we had two cars go in, nothing. I'm like ... Now, granted it wasn't cheap getting them serviced, but there is that. But at least they didn't come back and go,"Oh, you've got to have ..."Fill in the blank, and it's $900.

Steven Jack Butala:Now that you said that, something horrific's going to happen before the week's over.

Jill K DeWit:Oh, wait. Hold on a moment. That's okay. We just bought a new pool filter, or pool pump, excuse me. So don't think that it's all peachy over here.

Steven Jack Butala:It's endless.

Jill K DeWit:It is endless.

Steven Jack Butala:I don't know we got on this so fast.

Jill K DeWit:I don't know. I don't know. You know it's funny, you go back and forth where you want to live and lifestyle and things like that. We do, anyway. I do, anyway. Right now, Jack is,"I can feel it. You are becoming an association, HOA, I don't do anything outside the walls person really fast."Like"That wouldn't be bad,"right?

Steven Jack Butala:It's just people. There's an underlying theme today, that about ... We're going to talk about data, which is a real easy discussion, and how data really tells you what to do. So the underlying theme is you don't really have to be emotional, or pay attention to a lot, except for data. [inaudible 00:02:30].Jill K DeWit:
You don't have to be emotional. That's a whole nother topic. I'm writing that one. No.

Steven Jack Butala:Topic number one. And then the next we're going to talk about pricing mailers. There's no emotion in that.

Jill K DeWit:No.

Steven Jack Butala:And then, at the end of the show, Jill and I always put in our 2 cents with some opinions about stuff, and there's some interesting things going on in the world right now, as it pertains to land, of course, that I've never seen before. And I think it's a result of ... Everything's a result of sign of the times. But no, I don't-

Jill K DeWit:I agree.

Steven Jack Butala:Me inside of an HOA is maybe not the best thing.

Jill K DeWit:No, I know, but I know that's not the what's going to happen. But I can feel you kind of going,"What's wrong with that?"Like maybe then I wouldn't have to care about ... I don't have to do anything. Someone else would be responsible for my roof, and the pool, and fill in the blank.

Steven Jack Butala:The pendulum swings too far sometimes.
