In today’s changing real estate industry, it’s easy to feel compelled to get the latest tool or gadget that will solve all of your lead-generation problems. You may even feel cajoled, directed and almost bullied into spending all of your time and money chasing online leads in the hope of finding an online consumer who wants to “transact” a home purchase.

The return isn’t equal to the time, money, and energy that are spent, however. Our industry tends to chase the latest technological trend in search of a quick fix. Don’t get me wrong, Internet leads have a place in the marketing mix; however, a strict adherence to one form of marketing/advertising will undoubtedly expose you to greater competition from firms who take a more balanced approach.

The issue with this approach is that most agents continue to miss opportunities to develop lifelong relationships with their past or current clients. Research from the National Association of REALTORS® revealed that over 80% of all transactions are generated through some form of repeat or referral business activity. While many consumers go online to search for properties, the majority of them work with the agent who provided them or a friend great service in the past, not a stranger who electronically reaches out to form an e-relationship.

Generate high-quality leads through your relationships

So how should you spend your marketing time and effort? The answer is simple: Building relationships with people you know, serving your clients at a high level and intentionally asking for referrals. When you focus your attention on your relationships, generating leads is more fun, too. You look forward to picking up the phone to chat with them and enjoy taking them to lunch. Lead-generation is no longer a chore, but an opportunity to connect with some of your favorite people. What better way to replicate your best clients than by spending time with them?

Maintain relationships with Referral Maker CRM

Relying on an effective CRM system will help you get organized, remain visible and relevant, and manage and stay accountable to your financial goals.
