<\/p>\nWhen you are bombarded with a busy schedule\u00a0– appointments, re-stocking flyers, calls, contracts, leads and listings to follow-up with – prioritizing your time is essential. You’ve probably witnessed agents who’ve been really busy one month and then stuck in a lull the next. Whereas top producers have systems that\u00a0work on\u00a0their business while they are busy working in their business. It’s why they are consistently active with deals month-after-month. Online leads provide you with new deals when the other agents are slowing down.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How do you advance your business when you are busy?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a great question to ask and a good problem to have. It means you are moving into the next stage of your business.<\/p>\n The answer\u00a0is leverage.\u00a0For a Realtor there are two types of leverage. People and Technology.<\/p>\n Having a part-time assistant can streamline your business and make your time more effective. An assistant can handle some of the repetitive tasks like weekly emails to your client database and lead database. A Realtor’s schedule is unpredictable. Whereas an assistant can have a consistent schedule which makes it much easier to do the important growth building tasks week after week.<\/p>\n Millionaire Realtor Breffni McGeough says, “If you’re task-driven and you get your tasks done, then you don’t have to worry about commission because people come to you.”<\/p>\n The second leverage you can setup is technology.\u00a0Most critically,\u00a0lead-generation\u00a0technology. Tried and true activities like door-knocking and mail-out campaigns work. But they are painful. These activities demand your time on the street and you have to go one-by-one. The system we’ve designed enables\u00a0you to do this in much better way.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have a steady stream of incoming leads you need to stop everything you are doing and start generating them. It\u2019s the lifeblood of every real estate agent. And it’s something you need to do really well.<\/p>\n ~ Gary Keller, \u201cThe Millionaire Real Estate Agent\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Why online leads are way more likely to work with you than you may think<\/strong><\/p>\n Would you agree that it’s worth focusing your marketing time and money where real estate business comes from? I think most people would agree with that.<\/p>\n According to Realtor.org real estate clients come from 3 main sources.
