How to Make
Your Numbers and Profits
It's in the news, talked
about on the radio, and blogged about by a number of people.
It's the housing market. While the opinion differ by
economists, wall street, main street and neighborhoods, the
one constant is that the real estate market has been
impacted.
However, even
in this market there are a number of real estate
brokers and agents meeting and exceeding their
sales numbers.
While the
internet has played a large role in keeping
leads in their pipeline, a number of brokers and
agents report that for them "follow-up", whether
email or phone, has been key.
They have
adjusted their marketing messages, marketing
locations and business practices to the current
market conditions. These types of
adjustments have resulted in sales increase and
better profits.
The Top 6 Items that
Help Make the Numbers & Profits:
1.
Online
Marketing:
Using the cost per click (cpc) advertising was the most effective; followed by
organic search clicks.
2.
Managing Prospects:
Each lead is placed in a database, assigned to
an agent, and follow-up activity is recorded.
Each lead is given a list of guidelines for
follow-up.
3.
To Do
Lists / Checklists:
Use specific list to stay focused on getting the
key items done upfront. Once these things
are completed you know that the process is
moving.
4.
Email
Marketing: Send an
email on market changes, price changes, rebates
and government stimulus that can help with the
buying and selling process.

questions, update them on progress, and project
a realistic view for results.
