How fast is your lead followup? If it’s more than 5 minutes, you’re losing business — and you’re losing a lot of it. Believe it or not, while many companies still cling to the belief that it’s good to “wait a few hours” so they don’t seem desperate, the truth is that if you don’t follow up within the first 5 minutes, you won’t make the sale. In the Lead Response Management Study , Professor James Oldroyd performed an in-depth study of response times & contact rates, and found that for every 5 minutes you wait, there’s roughly a 4x reduction in your chance of contacting the lead. If you wait more than an hour, your chances of contacting the lead are 10 times lower than if you’d called them in the first 5 minutes! Keep in mind that 75% of prospects do business with the company that contacts them first. However, the average response time to an online lead is 44 hours and 50% of online leads never get a response! Why is there such a large disparity? In small business, the i...

Why buy when you can rent — and why rent when you can subscribe? Only a couple of decades ago if you wanted something, you’d just buy it — and amortize out the cost of purchase over time. In some instances this model still makes sense, but the convenience of subscription models is increasingly common in today’s marketplace, and has moved from being an “online thing” to an intrinsic part of the modern consumer experience. Without a doubt, the consumer subscription model is one of the biggest trends in 21st century business. At first, you only subscribed to online websites, then it became desktop software, and over time it’s crawled back up the pipe to include subscriptions for specialty foods, groceries, clothing, hobby supplies — and much, much more. You get your rides from Uber, your airplane tickets and travel arrangements from Expedia and a monthly box of Japanese treats from a subscription box. According to McKinsey & Company, 15 percent of online shoppers have sign...

We’ve all that got “that friend” on Social Media that makes you roll your eyes with the amount of hashtags they use in their posts. While we may roll our eyes at the #blessed people of the interwebs, a hashtag can be a powerful tool for your Real Estate business granted you use the right ones and use them the right way. In this post, we share the best Real Estate hashtags you can use for your business and how to utilize them. First of all what is a hashtag anyway? According to the urban dictionary: A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by a hash sign (#), used on social media websites and applications, especially Twitter, to identify messages on a specific topic. By using a popular hashtag, your post becomes searchable content under that topic. So for example, if you use #realestaterockstar and someone looks for that specific hash, your content will turn up as one of the results in that search. While there are many free (or paid) hashtag generators where you can search for...

Mastermind circles specifically made for Real Estate investors can bring powerful acceleration to your business. Varying in price and benefits, there is an underlying commonality to them all; they introduce new avenues and present opportunities that one would not encounter otherwise. Many Real Estate investors join masterminds as a last resort, when business is failing or has hit a serious plateau. However, finding a mastermind group early on or even when your business is thriving can prove to be an extremely positive tactical move. Many say it is unnecessary to join masterminds because of the cost and the time it takes to be part of them. However, there are so many stories of successful Real Estate professionals whose businesses have doubled or even tripled because of the insight and wisdom they have gained from joining a mastermind. Not to mention the value of expanding their network and meeting people of like minds with similar goals. What are the benefits of joining a...

Despite slowing job growth, demand for commercial real estate in the form of rental units in major metropolitan areas is soaring! This is from a massive uptick in rental demand during the second quarter of 2019 spiking at 11% from a year ago. That, in turn, pushed rents up an average 3% nationally to $1,390 per month, according to RealPage, a real estate software and analytics company. Experts are crediting this rental boom to in part to record-low unemployment numbers. Multiple organizations opened approximately 136,000 positions in September, slightly lower compared to 168,000 positions rolled-out last August. Employment growth however exceeded numbers of job seekers thus resulting to a labor shortage. Employers’ staffing needs will support the hiring of about 2 million personnel by year end. Potential economic headwinds, originating from trade tensions and other factors, create some risk of job creation falling below expectations. Broad-spectrum employment growth heightens...

What Is A Virtual Assistant? A Virtual Assistant (VA) provides business support services working from a remote location using the telephone & internet. This means they work from a remote location, often a home office, using technological tools to perform their job duties and to stay in touch with clients, supervisors and other team members.

As a real estate agent, you’re a licensed sales professional, but your job is a whole lot bigger than just that. Unlike many other sales professions, real estate agents are responsible for marketing both their own services as well as client listings — and if you don’t have a plan of action in place for marketing then even stellar salesmanship is going to fall short. For the most part, agents all know that they need to be marketing, and most even have a plan in place for it — and you’re probably no exception. The question isn’t so much about whether you have a marketing plan, but whether than plan actually works. So take a moment and ask yourself whether the ROI you’re getting on the time you spend promoting yourself and your listings is producing real, measurable results. Are you getting back the time investment you’re putting into it? The Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, states that 20% of the activities you are doing is responsible for 80% of the results. I...
