The 2nd Quarter has started, is it too late to Generate Leads to make this year better than previous years? Breath! There’s still time!

So where do you start, and why shouldn’t you do it by yourself?

What you can do to get leads and referrals:

  • Reach out to past clients, friends, and family, asking them to join your email list if you don’t have them connected yet.
  • Ask them for referrals.
  • Get involved locally in organizations, schools, events, charity organizations, and festivals.           

    Be VISIBLE!

  • Volunteer for charity organizations.
  • Take selfie videos of your farm area and local attractions and sites.
  • Collect contact addresses and emails at these events.
  • Collaborate with local lenders, pest control, and insurance offices, and host workshops or seminars.
  • Write articles for local publications.
  • Visit local vendors and restaurants to interview the owners and take selfies or videos of your interviews.
  • Sponsor school or youth teams or events.
  • Provide food and/or water at these events.
  • Host an end-of-year teacher appreciation lunch
  • Volunteer as a mock job interviewer to help students prep for future careers
  • Participate in school beautification and clean-up days
  • Attend school plays, talent shows and other events
  • Sponsor academic awards and scholarships for graduating seniors
  • Donate books or other needed supplies identified by teachers
  • Judge science fairs, robotics competitions, or other academic contests
  • Pop by gifts 

One Step to Make it Easier to Do:

Ask for Help!!! And here’s how I can make it easier:

  • Create a marketing calendar for the rest of the year.
  • Provide content for your website, blogs, and newsletters so it’s ready to send out consistently when you want it sent.
  • Ensure your agent brand is consistent throughout your real estate sites and social media.
  • (Pssst – This may not be exactly what a copywriter does, but I see the importance of having a functional CRM to send emails and newsletters. I have worked with many CRMs, and I will get you organized and ready to send out your emails.)
  • Once you get your interviews or raw footage of selfies/videos, I can draft articles and videos to share on your blog or social media.
  • I will also create articles on what you’re doing in the community and highlight upcoming events to advertise you and the event.
  • Write articles for local publications with your perspective on the real estate market and why you should be the “go-to” agent.
  • Organize and create content for your workshops and seminars, including flyers, posters, and handouts.
  • Set up analytics to gauge your progress.

She is self-sufficient and a self-starter. The experience she brings to the field is invaluable.”

“In the past 3 ½ years Sandy has worked with me, it feels no longer like it’s my business but it’s ours. Together we work perfectly as a team. I know my strengths and I certainly appreciate hers. Sandy has been able to take down my creative ideas and put them on paper to create what I believe to be an outstanding reflection of my business. She has given me the ability to focus on what I do best, sell real estate! Instead of me using my precious time working on the details of advertising, blog posts, researching the proper materials for keeping my clients informed, I count on Sandy for that task! Having someone who “gets it” and then put it into text and production is essential and she does that!”

Would You Hire You?

It’s funny how so many life lessons can be connected to the world of real estate. Who knew a dead car battery in my Subaru Outback could spark such a clear reminder of how customers want to be treated before they even meet you?

Let me take you along for the ride, assuming my car decides to cooperate this time.

For the last few days, my car wouldn’t start – a dead battery. I knew the battery was nearing the end of its life; no big deal, I thought. I ran to Costco, purchased a new battery, and popped it in; voilà. It STARTED!

The next morning, I went out to start my car, and — UGH! DEAD again! (EWWW- Foot Stomp!!) It didn’t emit a glimmer, a beep, or a buzz.
