- The first thing to focus on is acquiring new business and lead generation.
- Critical to finding deals is having good data and understanding what motivates a seller.
- A deal is a win-win situation, where both parties benefit.
- To acquire new business, finding good data can be done through resources like Rimi Co-star or county websites.
- Your edge is how good your system is and how well you follow up with your leads. Keeping track of important information about your leads separates you from the competition.
- If you are a high-earning professional, cold calling is not the best use of your time. Texting can be more efficient, and voicemail can be used to schedule a time to talk.
- Building rapport with potential leads is important. You need to be prepared to bring something to the table in conversations and find common ground to establish a connection.
- Calling potential leads is a step that many people avoid, but it can be a powerful tool for lead generation. Personalizing your approach and letting them know what you want to achieve can help you build a win-win relationship.
