Middlemen without enshittification

I'm on tour with my new novel The Bezzle! Catch me next in SALT LAKE CITY (Feb 21, Weller Book Works) and SAN DIEGO (Feb 22, Mysterious Galaxy). After that, it's LA, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix and more!

Enshittification describes how platforms go bad, which is also how the internet goes bad, because the internet is made of platforms, which is weird, because platforms are intermediaries and we were promised that the internet would disintermediate the world:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/30/go-nuts-meine-kerle/#ich-bin-ein-bratapfel

The internet did disintermediate a hell of a lot of intermediaries – that is, "middlemen" – but then it created a bunch more of these middlemen, who coalesced into a handful of gatekeepers, or as the EU calls them "VLOPs" (Very Large Online Platforms, the most EU acronym ever).

Which raises two questions: first, why did so many of us end up flocking to these intermediaries' sites, and how did those sites end up with so much power?

To answer the first question, I want you to consider one of my favorite authors: Crad Kilodney (RIP):

https://archive.org/details/thecradkilodneypapers

When I was growing up, Crad was a fixture on the streets of Toronto. All through the day and late into the evening, winter or summer, Crad would stand on the street with a sign around his neck ("Very famous Canadian author, buy my books, $2" or sometimes just "Margaret Atwood, buy my books, $2"). He wrote these deeply weird, often very funny short stories, which he edited, typeset, printed, bound and sold himself, one at a time, to people who approached him on the street.

I had a lot of conversations with Crad – as an aspiring writer, I was endlessly fascinated by him and his books. He was funny, acerbic – and sneaky. Crad wore a wire: he kept a hidden tape recorder rolling in his coat and he secretly recorded conversations with people like me, and then released a series of home-duplicated tapes of the weirdest and funniest ones:

https://archive.org/details/on-the-street-crad-kilodney-vol-1

I love Crad. He deserves more recognition. There's an on-again/off-again documentary about his life and work that I hope gets made some day:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/09/free-sample/#putrid-scum

But – and this is the crucial part – there are writers out there I want to hear from who couldn't do what Crad did. Maybe they can write books, but not edit them. Or edit them, but not typeset them. Or typeset, but not print. Or print, but not spend the rest of their lives standing on a street-corner with a "PUTRID SCUM" sign around their neck.

Which is fine. That's why we have intermediaries. I like booksellers (I was one!). I like publishers. I like distributors. I like their salesforce, who go forth and convince the booksellers of the world to stock books like mine. I have ten million things I want to do before I die, and I'm already 52, and being a sales-rep for a publisher isn't on my bucket list. I am so thankful that someone else wants to do this for me.

That's why we have intermediaries, and why disintermediation always leads to some degree of re-intermediation. There's a lot of explicit and implicit knowledge and specialized skill required to connect buyers and sellers, creators and audiences, and other sides of two-sided markets. Some producers can do some of this stuff for themselves, and a very few – like Crad – can do it all, but most of us need some help, somewhere along the way. In the excellent 2022 book Direct, Kathryn Judge lays out a clear case for all the good that middlemen can do:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/12/direct-the-problem-of-middlemen/

So why were we all so anxious for disintermediation back in the late 1990s? Here's a hint: it wasn't because we hated intermediaries – it was because we hated powerful intermediaries.

The point of an intermediary is to serve as a conduit between producers and consumers, buyers and sellers, audiences and creators. When an intermediary gains power over the audience – say, by locking them inside a walled garden – and then uses that lock-in to screw producers and appropriate an ever larger share of the value going between them, that's when intermediaries become a problem.

The problem isn't that someone will handle ticketing for your gig. The problem is that Ticketmaster has locked down all the ticketing, and the venues, and the promotions, and it uses that power to gouge fans and rip off artists:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/20/anything-that-cant-go-on-forever-will-eventually-stop/

The problem isn't that there's a well-made website that lets you shop for goods sold by many small merchants and producers. It's that Amazon has cornered this market, takes $0.51 out of every dollar you spend there, and clones and destroys any small merchant who succeeds on the platform:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/25/greedflation/#commissar-bezos

The problem isn't that there's a website where you can stream most of the music ever recorded. It's that Spotify colludes with the Big Three labels to rip off artists and sneaks crap you don't want to hear into your stream in order to collect payola:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/09/12/streaming-doesnt-pay/#stunt-publishing

The problem isn't that there's a website where you can buy any audiobook you want. It's that Amazon's Audible locks every book to its platform forever and steals hundreds of millions of dollars from creators:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/07/25/can-you-hear-me-now/#acx-ripoff

The problem, in other words, isn't intermediation – it's power. The thing that distinguishes a useful intermediary from an enshittified bully is power. Intermediaries gain power when our governments stop enforcing competition law. This lets intermediaries buy each other up and corner markets. Once they've formed cozy cartels, they can capture their regulators and commit rampant labor, privacy and consumer violations with impunity. That capture also lets them harness governments to punish smaller players that want to free workers, creators, audiences and customers from walled gardens. It also hands them a whip-hand over their workers, so that any worker who refuses to aid in these nefarious plans can be easily fired:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/30/go-nuts-meine-kerle/#ich-bin-ein-bratapfel

A world with intermediaries is a better world. As much as I love Crad Kilodney's books, I wouldn't want to live in a world where the only books on my shelves came from people prepared to stand on a street-corner wearing a "FOUL PUS FROM DEAD DOGS" sign.

The problem isn't intermediaries – it's powerful intermediaries. That's why the world's surging antitrust movement is so exciting: by reinstating competition law, we can keep intermediaries small and comparatively weak, so that creators and audiences, drivers and riders, sellers and buyers, and other groups seeking to connect will not find themselves made subservient to middlemen.

To thrive in 2025, businesses must adopt a strategic approach to virtual sales. Here are actionable strategies to maximize impact:

1. Utilize Machine Learning and Automation

Sales teams can leverage predictive analytics and automated email workflows such as sales automation tools to give high-value leads priority. Companies like Salesforce and HubSpot integrate AI into their platforms these days to offer real-time customer insight into behavior. Automation releases the time of sales representatives to enable them to engage in relationship building, which is an important element in closing a sale.

Tip: Leverage AI to personalize pitches based on customer information and boost conversion by 30%.

2. Master Video-Based Selling

Video calls continue to be a virtual salesmainstay, but a webcam is not all you need. Spend money on good audio-visual equipment and develop virtual presentation skills with your teams. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Loom software facilitate lively presentations, and interactive tools such as polling and whiteboard ensure that prospects stay engaged.

Pro-Tip: Record the sales calls for training and fine-tuning the message based on how the customer responds.

3. Adopt Immersive Technologies

Real estate companies provide virtual property tours using VR, for instance, while industrial equipment manufacturers show off machinery using AR overlays. These technologies deliver memorable experiences and differentiate businesses in competitive markets.

Case Study: A 2024 study revealed that businesses that implement AR for sales demos observed a 25% boost in customer engagement when compared to other techniques.

4. Emphasize Personal

Customers want personalized experiences. Based on CRM system data, tailor pitches specifically for each individual's exact pain points and objectives. Personalized email, context-driven content, and AI-powered dynamic web experiences greatly enhance the level of engagement.

Pro Tip: Segment your audience by behavior and preference in order to provide hyper-relevant content.

5. Trust Building through Transparency

In a digital world, trustworthiness is everything. Be open with clients regarding costs, product functionality, and timelines. Invite clients to publish client feedback and assessments to gain credibility. Trustpilot and G2 enable companies to post genuine user feedback and give prospects peace of mind.

6. Optimize for Mobile

With over 50% of B2B buyers researching on mobile devices, sales teams must ensure seamless mobile experiences. Responsive websites, mobile-friendly presentations, and SMS-based follow-ups are critical to capturing on-the-go decision-makers

Tools Shaping Virtual Sales in 2025

The right technology stack can make or break a virtual sales strategy. Here are some must-have tools for 2025:

CRM Platforms: Salesforce, Zoho CRM, and Pipedrive for lead management and analytics.

Leveraging Technology in Real Estate: A Guide to Digital Transformation

Leveraging Technology in Real Estate: A Guide to Digital Transformation

Introduction

The real estate industry has entered a transformative era, with technology reshaping how agents, brokers, and investors operate and succeed. Traditional methods are evolving rapidly as digital solutions become essential for staying competitive and meeting client expectations. However, with rapid changes come challenges – understanding, adopting, and effectively leveraging these tools can feel overwhelming.

In this guide, we’ll explore the core technologies driving the real estate industry forward and show how agents and real estate companies can adopt these tools to streamline their operations, boost lead generation, and enhance client satisfaction. From automating routine tasks to using predictive analytics for market insights, let’s delve into how you can harness technology to elevate your real estate business.

1. Addressing Key Challenges in Real Estate with Technology

1.1. Streamlining Operations

Pain Point: Real estate professionals spend a significant amount of time on repetitive tasks such as scheduling, data entry, and managing paperwork, which can reduce their focus on clients and deals.

Solution: Automation tools, such as AI-powered CRMs (Customer Relationship Management systems), streamline workflows by automating routine processes. For instance, a CRM can handle lead management, follow-up emails, and even appointment reminders, freeing up time for agents to focus on high-value activities.

Expert Tip: Use tools like HubSpot or Zoho CRM for task automation and lead nurturing to ensure no potential client slips through the cracks.

1.2. Enhancing Client Experience

Pain Point: Clients expect a seamless and transparent buying or renting experience. With the increasing digital expectations, clients want real-time updates, virtual tours, and accessible information.

Solution: Integrating virtual tours and AI-powered chatbots on your website or social media platforms can enhance client engagement and satisfaction. Virtual tours allow clients to explore properties from anywhere, making it easier for them to make decisions. AI chatbots provide instant responses to inquiries, keeping potential clients engaged even outside of business hours.

Real-World Example: Real estate giant Zillow uses AI chatbots to answer client questions, improving customer response times and reducing workload for agents.

1.3. Improving Lead Generation and Client Retention

Pain Point: Traditional lead generation can be time-consuming and inconsistent, making it hard to maintain a steady pipeline of interested buyers or renters.

Solution: Leverage predictive analytics and AI-driven lead scoring to identify high-potential leads more accurately. Predictive analytics analyzes data from multiple sources, such as social media engagement and browsing history, to help agents focus on clients most likely to convert. Additionally, AI-powered CRM tools can segment leads for targeted follow-ups, improving client retention.

Expert Tip: Use platforms like Salesforce Einstein or Leadspace to harness AI for effective lead scoring and client segmentation.

2. Key Technologies Transforming Real Estate

2.1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

AI and machine learning are crucial to making data-driven decisions in real estate. AI can analyze vast amounts of market data to identify trends, price predictions, and property value insights. Additionally, machine learning algorithms can detect client preferences based on their browsing habits, enabling agents to offer personalized recommendations.

Benefit: Better decision-making and increased client satisfaction through tailored property suggestions.

Real-World Example: Compass, a leading real estate firm, leverages AI to analyze market trends and provide data-driven insights for their agents, resulting in more accurate pricing and targeted marketing.

2.2. Virtual and Augmented Reality

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have become game-changers in showcasing properties. With VR, clients can take immersive tours of properties from anywhere, while AR allows agents to stage properties virtually, showing potential buyers the property’s potential without physical staging.

Benefit: Improved client engagement and faster decision-making by providing clients with a comprehensive view of properties.

Expert Tip: Consider using platforms like Matterport for VR tours and RoOomy for AR staging.

2.3. Data Analytics and Predictive Analysis

Predictive analytics is helping real estate professionals anticipate market trends, understand pricing dynamics, and optimize their investment decisions. By analyzing historical data and current market conditions, predictive analytics tools can help agents identify emerging hot markets or determine the best times to list properties.

Benefit: Increased profitability and efficiency by making informed decisions based on data-driven insights.

Real-World Example: Redfin uses predictive analytics to help their agents identify the best neighborhoods for investment, giving them a competitive edge in the market.

2.4. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems

A powerful CRM system is essential for managing leads, nurturing client relationships, and automating communication. Today’s CRMs are powered by AI, offering lead scoring, follow-up automation, and detailed insights into client behavior.

Benefit: Enhanced client relationships and improved lead management through automation and data insights.

Expert Tip: Opt for AI-integrated CRMs like Zoho CRM or Salesforce to streamline your lead and client management process.

3. How to Implement Technology in Your Real Estate Business

Step 1: Start with a CRM System

Actionable Tip: Begin by integrating a CRM system into your business processes. Ensure it has AI capabilities to automate lead scoring, follow-up emails, and data analysis.

Recommended Tools: Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM

Step 2: Invest in Virtual Tour Capabilities

Actionable Tip: Use VR/AR platforms to create virtual tours for your listings. These tours can help attract remote buyers and speed up the decision-making process.

Recommended Tools: Matterport for VR tours, RoOomy for virtual staging

Step 3: Incorporate Predictive Analytics

Actionable Tip: Use predictive analytics to better understand market trends and client preferences, allowing you to offer more relevant property recommendations.

Recommended Tools: Leadspace for lead insights, CoreLogic for market trend analysis

Step 4: Introduce AI Chatbots for Customer Support

Actionable Tip: Implement AI chatbots on your website and social media platforms to provide instant support for potential clients and current buyers.

Recommended Tools: Drift, Zendesk Chat

Step 5: Regularly Update and Optimize Your Technology Stack

Actionable Tip: Periodically review your tools to ensure they are updated and aligned with your business goals. As your business grows, consider integrating new technologies that can provide additional value to your clients.

Conclusion

As the real estate landscape continues to evolve, leveraging technology is no longer optional – it’s a necessity for staying competitive and relevant. From AI-driven CRMs and predictive analytics to VR tours and automated chatbots, the benefits are clear: better lead generation, improved client satisfaction, and streamlined operations.
