The Death of the Cold Call: Why the Future of CRE Belongs to the Broadcasters

By Edwin Duterte & Jennifer Wolfe
Founders of The Donn Allan Experience


For the last seven weeks, we have been on a journey together. We have looked hard at the Commercial Real Estate industry in the South Bay, and we have said the quiet part out loud: The old way is broken.

You feel it every time you pick up the phone to make a cold call and get sent to voicemail. You feel it when you send out 500 postcards and get zero responses. You feel it when you lose a listing to a younger broker who has less experience but more followers.

It’s exhausting. It’s demoralizing. And frankly, it’s beneath you.

At The Donn Allan Experience, we believe that brokers are not salespeople; they are Advisors. They are Strategists. They are the architects of the local economy. But to be treated like an advisor, you have to stop acting like a vendor.

We wrote "The CRE Digital Playbook" to give you a way out of the rat race. Here is the roadmap to your new life.


Step 1: Stop Selling, Start Teaching

In Episode 1: The Content Pivot, we challenged you to stop posting "Just Sold" flyers. Nobody cares about your commission check. They care about their money. We showed you how to become a "Market Oracle" by using Voxel Labs to broadcast wisdom, not sales pitches.

Step 2: Wake Up Your LinkedIn Feed

In Episode 2: The LinkedIn Monopoly, we revealed why your PDFs are invisible. LinkedIn is a video platform now. We taught you how to use "Native Video" to stop the scroll and get in front of the high-net-worth investors who control the South Bay.

Step 3: Measure What Matters

In Episode 3: The Deal Flow Equation, we debunked the "Viral Myth." You don't need a million views; you need 50 views from the right people. We showed you the math of how one single video can lead to a $300k commission check.

Step 4: Get in the Room

In Episode 4: The Authority Asset, we gave you the "Trojan Horse" strategy. Stop begging for meetings. Start offering interviews. We showed you how a podcast invites you into the inner circle of the South Bay's biggest developers and investors.

Step 5: Be Authentic

In Episode 5: The "Un-Stiff" Broker, Jennifer helped you take off the "Corporate Mask." We explained why robots don't sell buildings—humans do. We showed you how the relaxed environment of Voxel Labs unlocks your natural charisma.

Step 6: Stop Buying Gear

In Episode 6: The Gear Myth, we saved you $5,000. We proved that trying to be your own cameraman is a distraction. Your value is your brain, not your ability to set white balance. Use our studio. Keep your sanity.

Step 7: The Master Plan

In Episode 7: The 12-Month Blueprint, we removed the excuse of "I don't know what to say." We gave you the exact content calendar to dominate the next year. Market Updates. Interviews. Deep Dives. Rinse and repeat.


The Final Choice

The market is splitting. There are the "Analog Brokers" who are fighting over scraps, working harder every year for less money.

And then there are the "Digital Brokers." The ones who have built a media engine. The ones who attract deals instead of chasing them. The ones who have their weekends back because their videos are working while they sleep.

Which one do you want to be?

The studio is built. The strategy is proven. The only variable left is your decision to start.
