Give Agents a Better Reason to Join Your Brokerage.
Every agent gets a free marketing account loaded with your company-approved postcards, notecards, and letters, plus help building a sphere of at least 300 people. When they win a listing or close a deal, they simply email us and we handle the Just Listed or Just Sold campaign.
Your killer recruiting angle:
"Join our brokerage and we hand you a free Thanks.io Business account — normally $49/month — on day one. Real campaigns, real contacts, real follow-up. No other brokerage does this."
Powered by Thanks.io · No per-agent fees · Cancel anytime
One brokerage subscription. A real recruiting benefit for every agent.
Everything included in one flat brokerage subscription.
Why SphereStart helps you close more agents
Agents don't join because of software. They join when you show them you'll help them win.
Answer “How will I get business?”
Recruits see exactly how they'll get business with a real marketing system, not a promise. New recruits start with real relationships plus local homeowner farm backfill instead of an empty CRM.
Show immediate, visible value
They get a free account, branded campaigns, real contacts, a professionally built database, and concierge support before being asked to make the commitment.
Prove you help agents execute
You're not handing them another login. You're giving the agent a practical system for staying visible and creating conversations — a real plan that works from day one.
"Join our brokerage and we will professionally build, enrich, and activate your sphere at no cost to you."
"You will not start with an empty CRM. We will give you at least 300 real relationships and local homeowner opportunities, then tell you exactly who to contact and why."
What the agent receives every day
You don't need more reminders. You need the work prepared.
MManual where it should be personal
The agent reviews and sends emails, writes LinkedIn messages, makes calls, and handles real conversations. Real relationships stay human.
AAutomated where it saves time
SphereStart handles data organization, contact selection, draft preparation, card timing, template setup, task generation, and brokerage reporting.
The daily agenda includes:
Give every recruit 300 people to work
SphereStart builds the agent's real relationship database, then fills any gap with geographically relevant homeowners.
- Friends & family
- Past clients
- Coworkers & neighbors
- Vendors & referral partners
- Real two-way relationships
- Former coworkers
- Old email contacts
- Community contacts
- Transaction-related contacts
- Local homeowners agent doesn't know
- Geographically relevant prospects
- Filled in when real sphere < 300
Experienced agents keep every valid relationship. Farm records are only added when needed and appropriate. Farm prospects never receive language that implies a personal relationship.
