I take you behind the scene of my 1 800 number with www.HassleFree800.com. In the video I removed most of the phone numbers of callers. However, if you do choose to use a real estate call-capture system make sure you:
Take advantage of their free trials..
Have a plan on how you will advertise the number... BEFORE YOU BUY IT or Even Try IT!
Set A Budget. Then cut 15% off whatever you were thinking. Don't over-pay for the system, because you still have to leave room in your budget for marketing.
Ask for help. I've had the same system since 2003 and I still call the support desk with questions on how I can do better
Talk to practicing professionals who actually have the 1800 number system to capture leads. When I bought my Lexus a few years back, I talked with friends who already owned one. I called the service department to find out about maintence. Then I went to the sales department. Turned out a buying a car at Scottsdale Lexus was a pleasant experience. The same thing goes when you want to know how to get a 1 800 phone number.
Kendall - I have been intrigued by the 800 numbers for some time. It seems that for some people it works very well, and for others, not so much. I think it's more about getting the numbers out there, and providing good content. If nobody knows you have an 800 number, nobody will call.
My favorite Mortgage Broker supplied me with signs and I got 30 to 50 leads a week. I called or tried to call everyone of them back every time, but never was I able to convert one into a sale of that home or any other. But I was busy getting calls! You would think that the numbers would at least provide one or two ready willing and able buyers! I may try it again, this is a different market than it was then.
