The Gentry Todd Group — Compass COMPASS

For the Coast to Coast group

How I'm running my practice with Claude.

The stack, the workflows, the wins. Same playbook I walked through on the call — bookmarkable for whenever you want to come back to it.

The shift

From Claude-as-chatbot to Claude-as-operating-partner.

Before

Ask a question, get an answer, copy/paste, do the work yourself.

Now

Persistent workspace, full email + Drive context, drafts queued in real inboxes, pages built live.

Cowork is the workspace where this all happens. Claude has direct access to both my email accounts, my Google Drive, my Compass CRM export, and my QuickBooks. It doesn't just answer questions — it ships work.

The stack

Eight tools, one operating partner.

What's actually running

Eight use cases in production.

1

CRM intelligence

Compass export plugged in once. Got back a heat-scored A-tier list, surfaced 150 untouched Likely-to-Sell prospects nobody was working, and a 90-day clear-the-backlog cadence.

2

Personalized outreach at scale

Tuesday rainmaking block. 5–10 drafts queued in Gmail Monday night — voice-tuned from real email history, with current pocket-level market data baked in. I review, edit, fire.

3

Listing Leverage Engine

Every new listing → full marketing kit within 24h of photos. MLS copy, brochure, sphere just-listed email, neighbor letter, social captions, open-house plan. One listing becomes five marketing activities with zero extra grind.

4

Relocation itineraries

Out-of-market buyer coming in? Get a clean itinerary email with clickable Google Maps driving routes, restaurant + neighborhood pins, country-club status notes, and Compass dashboard setup. Built in 20 minutes per visit.

5

Advisor landing pages

Lunch with a wealth advisor partnership? Build them a custom URL on your Squarespace — embedded Loom, the Compass marketing PDFs, your case studies, the referral playbook. Replaces email attachments. Becomes the home for the relationship.

6

Financial visibility

QuickBooks plugged in. Got back a P&L diagnostic, a subscription audit, monthly burn budget, and an in-flight GCI tracker that updates as deals close. No more "where am I against my number" guesswork.

7

Presentation prep + execution

Speaking to an advisor group or sphere event? Get a live demo flow, Loom scripts, on-screen show notes, and a post-meeting follow-up email scripted and ready before you walk out the door.

8

Pipeline orchestration

Drop a pipeline update mid-week → compression mode triggers automatically. Big week = batch sizes shrink, blocks compress. Calm week = batch sizes expand. Nothing drops during contract execution season.

The operating cadence

Same rhythm every week. Claude handles prep. I show up and execute.

Su

Sunday 5pm

Week-ahead checklist drops in my folder. Tuesday outreach names, Thursday agenda, in-flight tracker updated.

M

Monday

Tuesday outreach drafts queued in Gmail. Newsletter draft for review. Loom scripts when needed.

Tu

Tuesday 9:30–11:30

Rainmaking block. Edit + send drafts. Pipeline check the final 30 min.

Th

Thursday 9:30–11:30

Marketing block. Newsletter ships, listing kits, advisor work, deeper biz dev.

F

Friday

Assistant sync. Log sends. Wrap-up. Sustainability score 1–5. If it dips two weeks in a row, we change something.

The results so far

Concrete, this quarter.

21

Likely-to-Sell touched in 3 weeks, up from 0 the prior year

$99K

GCI booked in 30 days from current pipeline

24 hrs

From advisor presentation to first inbound referral

10+

Hours back per week on prep + admin

No dropped tasks during peak deal execution season. No more rollercoaster between contract season and dry months. The system runs whether I'm on top of it or not.

The advisor partnership move

From attachments to a referral channel in one weekend.

Most agent / advisor partnerships die because both sides forget the conversation a week after the lunch. Here's the move that's changing that.

Build them their own URL

A dedicated landing page on your Squarespace — yourbrand.com/firmname. The Compass marketing materials they actually need, your case studies, an intro Loom, a follow-up Loom, the referral playbook in 30 seconds. Replaces the wall of email attachments.

Send one URL, not six links

Pre-meeting prime is one link. Post-meeting follow-up is the same link. Quarterly memo lives there. Six months later when they remember "wait, what was that referral thing the realtor did" — same link.

Template-ready for every future partner

Once you build the template once, every future advisor / CPA / attorney / financial planner relationship gets a duplicate page in 5 minutes. Hero customizes, content stays the same.

Proof point

First version of this approach converted a 6-figure relocation referral within 24 hours of the partner presentation. The page paid for itself before the second Loom went up.

What makes it actually work

Five things that turn the tool into a partner.

1

One chat per project

Persistent context. Claude remembers everything from the conversation, the files, the decisions. No re-explaining the same setup every time.

2

Voice tuning from real history

Claude reads my actual sent emails and matches my register. Friend voice for friends, formal for transactions. No more "AI-sounding" drafts.

3

Pocket-level market data

Real-time submarket data baked into every personal outreach. Not zip-blended generics. The recipient feels seen.

4

Page-as-deliverable

Stop attaching PDFs. Build a URL. Update it forever. Track engagement. Make it bookmarkable.

5

Drafts in my real inbox

Claude doesn't send for me — it queues drafts in Gmail. I review, edit, ship. The voice and the relationship stay mine.

In my own words

Same rhythm every week. Claude handles all prep. I show up Tuesday morning, edit eight drafts, and ship. The system runs whether I'm on top of it or not.

If you want to start

Five steps to the same setup.

1

Get Cowork access

It's the workspace where all of this happens. Claude.ai has the desktop app.

2

Connect your email + Drive

Two connectors. Claude reads inbox and Drive directly. No copy/paste.

3

Export your CRM

CSV. Drop it in. Get back a scored A-tier list and a Likely-to-Sell pipeline.

4

Run a Tuesday dry run

Have Claude draft five outreach emails. Edit, send, see how it lands. Iterate the voice.

5

Iterate weekly

Same chat, same rhythm. Add one use case every two weeks. In 90 days, the whole practice runs on rails.
