Summer Road Kit: Time saving tips for real estate professionals
Saving time and creating efficiency's is always important, but when you’re spending more time on the road and less time at your office, it becomes crucial to your success. Check out these five tips for saving time when you’re racing the clock.
-
Don’t work 24/7, just make it seem like you are. As a real estate professional, you probably feel obligated to be available around the clock. You wouldn’t want to miss out on a great new client, right?
-
Automate your lead generation. According to the 2013 NAR Member Profile, The typical REALTOR® earns a combined 42 percent of his or her business through past clients and their referrals. While repeat business and referrals are the preferred lead source for most agents, they will never make up 100% of your closed transactions. So where do you find the rest of your leads?
-
Stop drowning in email. According to a recent study by Velocify, contacting leads by email increases your chance for conversion by an average of 53%. But how are you going to stay on top of emailing leads quickly when you’re away from your desk?
-
Keep all your leads in one place. Where do you manage and track all your leads? Chances are you have emails, voice mails, post it notes, business cards, and cocktail napkins full of important information about your leads.
-
Hire an assistant. You don’t need a large business to make use of an assistant.
