Successful agents know that systems and automation can give them back their time and lead them to more closings.
When you have funnels running in the backend of your business, you can focus more on the front end. This strategy works incredibly well for social media marketing, especially Instagram. It also centers your focus to proactively start conversations with potential customers, grow your database, and increase your business.
One strategy generating massive results is through prompting people to engage with you through DMS (direct messages), and you can automate how this flow works using automated DMs based on triggers that you set.
This is not a spammy chatbot approach or too techy to try. It's a way for you to automate a strategy that can generate more business, and in this episode, I'm sharing three easy ideas to get you started with lead generation, listing marketing, and more!

Can paid online leads be an untapped opportunity in your business?
Over the years, I've seen agents on the complete opposite end of the spectrum when buying leads. Some agents excel at converting the leads and are able to make it a part of their business strategy effectively. Others find cold leads difficult to nurture or don't enjoy the approach and the sales strategies behind it.
At one time in my career, I oversaw online, company-generated brokerage leads and an agent internet-lead team. I've also been part of major paid lead launches and everything from strategies to attract more leads and how to work them through the sales funnel. So, I've been in it with you from a generation, conversion, and even accountability standpoint!
So, the question remains - could online leads work for you and if they do, how do you not waste money when buying them?
Throughout this conversation, we're talking about:
- How to evaluate where to get started and what lead source makes sense for you- The landscape of purchasing leads in today's market- How to leverage leads to build a database - The lifetime value of a lead and implementing a strategic program to nurture leads long-term- Script examples for exactly what to say when you call a leadTips and marketing strategies to increase lead conversion that will set you apartAnd some of the biggest mistakes agents are making when it comes to leads

As the podcast is under construction, I'll be sharing some specially curated encore episodes of some of my favorite topics.
So in today's episode, we're talking all about why most real estate websites don't work.
Because whenever we want to learn or do something, we head online to find out more. And this action is especially true in real estate! Homebuyers and sellers are doing their own research and looking at homes for sale right from their phones, and more often than not, they're using apps like Realtor.com and Zillow.
And in this highly competitive online world, many real estate agents have abandoned their websites to either buy leads or build their businesses using social media or relationship-based strategies.
Because the thought is "most real estate websites don't work," and I agree with that statement!
But what if I told you that there's still ample opportunity in your own real estate website with the right strategy in place?
