Why CRM doesn't work for real estate sales
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
”
“ If you are not making a professional level of profit, there is something wrong in your business. Period. -Darin Persinger Productivity Junkies
Think BIG Small businesses are small for a reason, they
aren't action takers, they don't invest in themselves and they don't implement systems.
All wealth comes from systems
If you don't have a system, you are the system. Don't be a cog in the wheel
Today The critical parts of online lead conversion,
without which you may as well stop generating internet leads.
Why CRM can't keep up The 5 mistakes brokers and agents make in
growing their business Follow Up Boss System Q + A + giveaway
The critical parts of online lead conversionWithout which you may as well stop wasting money on online leads
Speed of Response Critical You are 100 times more likely to contact a
client within 5 minutes versus calling within 30 minutes. (MIT Study).
74% of all buyers and 76% of all sellers will work with the first agent they talk to. (NAR)
Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com If your not first you are last.
Speed of Response Goodlife team, 5 minute guarantee to sellers.
15 minutes is good, 5 is better.
Lead Coordinator
If your not first you are last.
Phone Calls Call each lead 3 times minimum.
5 is better.
ABS (Always be serving), listen deeply to their needs.
Non responsive leads Can't get them on the phone and they don't
respond to email.
Short automated drip campaign to generate a response.
10% response rate
Accountability Do you have a system in place to make sure
every single lead gets looked after?
Are you tracking your marketing and only investing in profitable lead sources?
Is the system human dependent? How does it work on weekends? Holidays? When your sick?
“”
What gets measured gets managed.
– PETER DRUCKER

How were your last 10 leads treated.
Past performance is the best indicator. If you didn't treat your last 10 leads well, the next 10 isn't looking so great either.
Score yourself on your last 10 leads
Did every lead receive a phone call in the first hour?
Did every lead receive follow up phone calls? Did you send non responsive leads a short drip
email? Did all the leads go into a system? Do you have accountability in place? Score out of 10 for each question.
CRM as a lead system CRM stands for customer relationship management
which makes it great for that. But as a lead management system it's missing some critical components.
It's not automated it's reliant on busy agents and assistants to operate it.
The moment you stop working, your CRM stops working. When was the last time you logged into your CRM? How does it work when you are on holidays or spending time with your family?
Some examples Real estate CRM's Top Producer, Wiseagent, Ixact
Contact there are a lot of other ones to.
Some slightly more automated solutions are market leader, tigerleads, boomtownROI. These are all bundled with a website and automatically accept leads from that website.
You need a system that works with all your lead sources as automatically as possible otherwise you are inefficient, you end up juggling six different leads sources in your email and a few website backends…

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
-ALBERT EINSTEIN
The 5 mistakes of poor agents and brokers
Build a fortress not a sand castle
BUILD A FORTRESS NOT A SAND CASTLE
Externally focused. Address the problems your business actually
has. You are the one who has to pay attention to your
numbers. Opinions from other people are well intentioned but often useless.
Should I buy Zillow or Trulia leads?? Focus on serving your customers. If you call a website provider they will sell you a
website, if you call Zillow they will sell you their marketing package.
Distraction chasers Social Media Too much automation Shiny things A good way to test is will this product make
something I am currently doing easier, how much money will it make me, will it save me time?
Distraction chasers Email filters Prioritize like your life depended on it (because
it does)
No accountability systems Not measuring marketing.
Make business decisions based on emotions not on performance data.
If your generating a lot of internet leads and don't have a rock solid system in place for follow up...It's like driving a car with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brakes.
Don't value their own time Do data entry into CRM's instead of outsource
or automate. Typically get overrun with work hire a VA and then don’t value their VA’s time either.
Spend hours in email every day
Constantly worried about what to work on next instead of following a proven system
Bonus mistake: Ego Not ready to admit what they don't know, not
looking to address weaknesses in their business
Admitting there is a problem is the first step to solving the problem
Thinking solutions and systems won't work for them because they are special or different.
