Episode 182: Real Estate Lead Follow-Up System That Works!
In Episode 182, Matt Emerson and Jan O’Brien go over the steps of a lead follow-up system that WORKS! Spoiler alert - you have to actually talk to your clients! Let's jump in...
Communicate & Connect!
- CALL THEM!
- Text
- Video text or email
Be Pleasantly Persistent
- You will probably have to try more than 2 times to make the follow-up connection
Use your DAMN CRM!
- An automated reminder you when to make the next call
Online Leads
- The initial goal is to have a follow-up plan to get the lead to connect with you so you can qualify, sort, start building rapport - have a conversation
- 30-day plan in your CRM
Open House & Other Face-to-Face Leads or Referrals
- Focus is on delivering what they want
- What is timeframe - now vs near future (determine the type follow-up/action to take/priority)
- Buyer - saved searches
- Cash vs Loan - if loan - talk to lender/ get pre-approved and why
- Seller - CMA; need to buy a home first
HOW TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD with Your Follow-Up
How to get people to know, like, and trust you...
Initially - it’s in the first connection - a call is better than a text; zoom meeting is even better to build rapport, establish your expertise and learn about them and their wants and needs
- Introduction video - about you - why work with you
- Post this on your website
- Use it in your initial follow-up email
You must be a local market expert and know the housing stats and trends!!
