The most common problem that agents face is the lack of leads to work on. While knowledge, conversion and engagement skills after getting a lead are just as important, most times, realtors fail due to a lack of leads generation capabilities.

Traditionally there are offline strategies like telemarketing, flyers, bus ads, door-knocking, networking and roadshows that still work even in these times. With digitalization, we have a ..read more

Many years ago, the word prospecting generated many negative connotations for me. It reminded me of doing active cold-calling, joining breakfast clubs, networking groups, exchanging of business cards and a lot of other superficial activities with the only intention of generating a sale or getting referrals for a sale. Prospecting meant hunting for prospects. It was a chore that had to be done if I did not want to "eat grass" that month.

However, it was a necessary and critical move for several lon ..read more

But enough is enough. It's time we called a stop to what we are feeding ..read more
