All the real estate marketing effort you do through networking, as well as free and low-cost marketing, leads you to the next step in your business — generating leads. Without clients, your company will cease to exist. Calling people to generate leads is one of people’s biggest hang-ups. The question remains — how far you are willing to go to take your business and career to another level?
On today’s episode, Ryan joins me to share how to alleviate the pressure of getting leads. We talk about the common fears people have when talking to potential clients on the phone, why it’s okay to make mistakes, and a couple of key data points to remember when generating leads on the phone.
