We\u00a0live in a pretty amazing world today, thanks to the tools around us, we can make a big impact with a little amount of money and time… If lead generation is done correctly.<\/p>\n

Here is a strategy you can use over the next 7 days to engage new home seller opportunities.<\/h3>\n

\"Meet Note: please don\u2019t use this if you are expecting a ton of listings to come your way in 7 days. The reality is you will use a strategy like this to meet sellers early in the selling process. I am not saying you won\u2019t\u00a0win your next listing\u00a0in 7 days, I have witnessed that myself. But it is unlikely, and it is unlikely because of two important facts. Trust and Timing. (Which we will dive into shortly). Agents who believe in\u00a0treating their leads like referrals build trust almost naturally.<\/p>\n

What is a digital door knocking test?<\/h3>\n

I am going to show you how in 7 days you can digitally door knock on 100\u2019s or 1000\u2019s of homes in the exact location you want to attract new listings and how to establish trust immediately with each one all for $99 including Facebook ad budget. Sounds like a pretty amazing strategy to test, right? That is because it is, and it’s unlike no other. I will leverage some free trials during the 7 days. So the cost structure would change after 7 days, but at least you will be able to fully test the strategy with no risk other than $99 and about 1 hour of your time with HUGE upside. Once set up, it can keep running for as long as your business needs. What is one more listing worth to you over the next 3 months?<\/p>\n

Important fact number 1: Trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you were\u00a0meeting a seller for the first time, do you think they will just hand you their home? It can happen… but you should probably approach it by adding value. You only have one chance to make a good first impression. And you have just been given an incredible opportunity to meet someone and now blow them away with how much you care about their needs and their home by providing more and more value. Some of the strategies I will show you actually help accelerate the trust process. It allows you to build trust without even meeting the client.<\/p>\n

Important fact number 2:\u00a0<\/strong>Timing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This one surprises a lot of Realtors, but If you think about it, it makes sense. Agents often want sellers ready to list tomorrow, and who doesn\u2019t. But by the time the seller has made that decision they most likely have already started a conversation with at least one Realtor. In fact, the reason they have not phoned you is that you are not on their short list. But you can be the first agent they call<\/strong>. Use a strategy like this to get in front of sellers early<\/strong> making sure you ARE the agent they want to work with<\/strong>. Build that equity now. Get in front of them early. The stats show that most seller leads are 3-6 months out. Because agents don’t understand this concept, they unintentionally burn the lead or do not take it seriously in the first week. This means that eventually they’ll have no way of staying in touch or adding value. In 3 months the lead can\u2019t even remember the agent when they are more serious.<\/p>\n

Okay now let’s get into the strategy.<\/h3>\n

Then think of the neighborhood the zip or postal code is in. So, for instance, let’s say I wanted to target zip code 92101 which is found in the neighborhood of Little Italy of San Diego. I could enter that. I could add more zip codes too, but for Little Italy, there is only one zip code so I will just enter the one. 2. So in this example, I would put.
