Let's Talk Branding! 7 Steps

The online customer journey
There are several levels on the online customer's journey.

Remember: INQUIRY IS NOT A LEAD!

Impressions > eyes on your content
Inquiries > Person responding to and offer/ad
Prospect > Captured email/phone number
Lead > Qualified opportunity
Customer > Someone you do business with

Turning inquiries into customers

1. Person reaches out on your social media or website
2. Import prospects in your database
3. Connect Quickly
4. Send an introduction and value-add content.
5. Follow up
6. Schedule an introductory meeting
7. Deliver Exceptional Service
8. Include them in your Client Appreciation Program

Be Prepared!

You need to step up your game and get listings.

TIP #1 Keep your data! Your competition is doing this. Compare what you are doing versus what other agents are doing.

TIP #2 Testimonials from your Sellers! Your competition is doing this. A letter to their former neighbors as an endorsement of your services. Ask them, at what price would you consider selling your home?

TIP #3 Social Media. Your competition is doing this. Name your price! Who cares what Zillow thinks? Put this on your website. Twice a month on your Facebook stories / Instagram Stories. Once a month to your farm.

TIP #4 Potential "Whats Going On." Your competition is doing this. Investment Properties, pull the list. Add to your database NOO's & mail. Send mailers. Follow up with a letter.

*A Retroactive Tax
It would be retroactive to the April Announcement.
Cap gains would go from 23.8% to 43.4% for income over $1 million.
It'll raise $320 billion over ten years.
