If you needed a new client right NOW, what would you do? In our latest agent interview, Trey Willard shares how he’s built a referral-based real estate business thanks to the relationships he’s built with the 1,600+ people in his database. Trey can call any of those 1,600 people right now and they’d be happy to take his call.
Takeaways + Tactics
1. Facebook Gifts are an easy way to thank people for sending you a referral
2. The higher the level of human contact with your database - the more effective it is
3. Before calling someone in your database, check their Facebook Timeline first
Prospecting and internet lead gen should only be built on the foundation of a great database. Start with the people you know and make sure they know what you do. You don’t have to aggressively ask for referrals. Make simple check-in calls, bring value and make a genuine connection with them and the referrals will come naturally.
