Online Lead Conversion Just Got a Lot Harder For Real Estate Agents w/ Abe Safa


Listen Later

If you’re in the online lead gen game, you’ll notice that it’s gotten a lot harder lately. 

It doesn’t matter what platform you’re using - deliverability has plummeted, open rates and replies have decreased, and more consumers are sending the dreaded opt-out message. As a result, the conversion ratio from online capture to connection has dropped drastically and the price-per-lead is going to skyrocket. 

With all our communications getting filtered more heavily, sending one-size-fits-all email blasts just won’t cut it. We have to make sure we’re sending valuable content. 

Could automation be killing our lead conversion? How do we escape the opt-out message? 

In this episode, my friend and business partner, Abe Safa returns to talk about how to deal with the lead conversion challenges we’re all facing. 

 

Ease off of automation. The first attempt to reach someone can’t be automated. -Abe Safa

 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

  • Ease off the automation 
Adding automation to our lead gen efforts makes us more efficient, but could that be harming our conversion?

  • Spam texting isn’t lead generation 
  • For a really long time, we got away with sending one-size-fits-all content blasts instead of authentic, valuable content. How do we get back to quality over quantity? 

  • How to stop the STOP messages 
  • We’re less likely to be on the other end of an opt-out if we’re an added contact. How do we ask them to save our number?
