Real Estate Lead Generation is a hot topic. Wondering, if it all starts with LEADS then can you have too many? What's a lead worth anyway?
I quit using lead generation sites after my second year in the business, because it just hurt to much to give up the 25% - 30% they got at closing. After a good marketing program is in place, it makes no sense to pay so dearly for leads. But it did help me get started. I listed more from homegain than any of the others - if that helps anybody.
But my question today is - if you look down on using lead generation sites, or even Relo company referrals, as many agents do, then do you feel the same way about personal referrals from other agents that come with a 25% commission sharing agreement?
How about the companies that charge a flat fee, like Servicemaster, of $25/lead no matter how it ends up? Do you look down on those?
Is there a price per lead that you think makes sense? Would you pay $10/lead if one in 10 closed? 1 in 20? 1 in 50?
