5. Why do most Brokerages/Teams/Agents Fail?
Expectations
Overwhelming Agents with too many leads
Lack of inspection or Accountability – If you don’t inspect, they don’t
respect
Over analyzing – Similar to expectations
Lack of First Phone calls to Leads
Lack of doing anything with leads that do not have phone numbers. (25%
of our sales come from leads with no phone)
Lack of initial training and consistent follow up and ongoing training.
6. Why Fail Continued…
No or minimal phone call follow up after initial contact
Wrong Mindset – This is your opportunity to create a great
relationship
Relying on the Agents to actually do their job including drip
campaigns, responding to emails, phone calls, etc.
Lack of Agent training on both lead conversion, phone calls and
sales when in the field.
No Sales Strategy for Agents – Best tip, show best house 2nd to last
Lack of tracking Agents showings to contract rates with customers
to see where the help is really needed.
7. Step By Step
Lead Distribution should be 1-2 leads per day
Each Lead Needs:
Thank You Letter – We now combine this with our first
list of properties
List of properties based on their search criteria or based
on a default price range that is city specific.
Set up in listing updates
8. Conversion Continued
First Call is made – We have our First Call Agent call at
least 6 times which gets us in contact with 80%+ of our
leads with phone numbers.
Our FCA service contact rate is running between 65%
and 75% depending on the brokerage we are calling for.
Purpose of this call is to verify search and find out buying
timeframe. Urgency of lead is most important.
Depending on buying timeframe, please lead in a call
back system.
9. Conversion Continued
Set each Lead into a group with a purpose
Active Lead High End
Active Lead
Active Lead Short Term
Lead With No/Bad Phone Number
Leads we showed property too
Leads that are calendared (on the schedule)
Low End Leads
10. Drip Campaigns
As the team leader/Broker, take control of the drips. Don’t allow
your Agents to set them up. It’s a headache!
They must be relevant.
Keep them no more than 1 paragraph, what I call the 10 second rule.
If you are doing listing updates, which hopefully you are, then all
you need are a few drips.
The best drip ever – Just checking in, making sure you are getting
my listing updates. If you have any questions or would like to see
any properties, don’t hesitate to ask.
11. Call Back Schedule
Reminder – lead conversion is a mindset - Relationship
Always call 1 week after initial contact
If buying in 12 months or more, call every 2 months
If buying in 6 months, call every 6 weeks
If buying in 3 months, call once per month
If calling in 1 month, call weekly
12. Why I have an ISA Department
Ensures that our calendared and shown property
leads are followed up by Agents
ISA’s help to manage all aspect of leads
Transfers Leads from Agents who aren’t on top of
their leads to our other Agents
Terminate Agents from our lead system
13. ISA Responsibilities
Transfer high end leads out of low end Agents into
our better Agents
Ensure searches are updated and property inquiries
are responded to by Agents
Don’t get caught in having your ISA’s doing admin
work, they must be calling! This is the downfall of an
ISA.
14. Some Stats from our FCA Program – One of Customers
We have called 829 Leads
Contacted 590 – 71%
It’s taken 2967 calls to reach 590 leads
358 Positive Outcomes –
190 Active
114 Calendared
44 Live Transfers
10 Other Dispositions
15. Some Stats from our FCA Program – One of Customers
232 Negative Outcomes –
104 Unsubscribes
110 Bad Phone Numbers
18 Other Negative Dispositions
16. Team Building
Hire Slowly and Fire Quickly!
First impression is everything – When you meet the
person for the first time, if you don’t love them they
are the wrong person
Positivity – The hardest part of building a team is
keeping everyone positive. One bad apple….you
know the rest of the story.
17. Team Building Continued
Add Agents based on lead flow. For every 30 leads
per month you can add one Agent
Hiring an assistant/LCA is a given these days if you
want to really have great lead conversion. Be sure if
this is the same person, that you block their time for
calling verse admin duties.
Accountability – As I mentioned earlier, you have to
have some form of accountability in place to ensure
Agents are doing their best.
18. Summary
Send every lead a list of properties regardless if you have got hold of
them
Set every lead up in a listing update system
Phone calls are mandatory – No calls No business
Keep Drip Campaigns simple and relevant
Track Agents and or your production
It’s not as much about % Lead Conversion, it’s about sales!
If you aren’t going to call, get an LCA
