Level Up - From Agent to Entrepreneur

A Solution to the Problem Most Agents Don’t Know They Have


Listen Later

Buying leads can help your business tremendously, but for the vast majority of agents, a large portion of those leads will never make contact. Are those leads truly ‘inactive’? Or is there a way for you to make contact with them and capitalize on what you’ve already invested in? What is the barrier that stops agents from taking full advantage of the leads they’ve bought?

On this episode, we identify what the lead contact problem is, and discuss solutions to an issue we all face.

 

 

Think of it like this: ‘dead’ leads are not dead.They’re only dead to you. They’re alive to someone else. - Greg Harrelson

 

Takeaways + Tactics

  • Agents typically do not have enough bandwidth to properly follow up with their leads. This is a problem experienced by everyone in the industry, including top agents.
  •  

    • After making an initial attempt at contact, use multiple platforms to get a response. If, after calling, texting and emailing, a lead is not interested, you can then remove them from your list.
    •  

      • Avoid labelling leads as ‘inactive’ if they do not respond immediately. Continue with your communication for 8 days, and it’s likely they will get back to you.
      •  

        The opportunities presented by buying leads are endless. Your time, however, is finite. This is a predicament faced by everyone buying leads, and there is no single solution. That said, if you engage in a campaign of communication after making initial contact, you will come closer to taking full advantage of your leads.
