top of mind: The Truth About Working Off Referrals

"I work off of referrals."So does every other agent. Welcome to the party. (We don't mean to sound too sarcastic, but bear with us here, we are trying to help and be the most useful guide we can be to you.)Relying on referrals and getting referrals are 2 separate things. NAR should find out a new statistic, titled: "How many referrals an agent loses each year due to their internet presence and marketing".Do you set up searches for your clients through the MLS? What URL are the search results branding? You? Or the MLS?

- 05/28/14 04:48 AM

If you rely on referrals to make you money, then it helps to remind your referral base that you still have a license. Loss of business is directly related to loss of connection, loss of value, and loss of top-of-mind awareness. Client relationship management is not … (4 comments)

Being Top of Mind without being irritating.Notice how many less times in your career you have lost a buyer to another agent and how many more times you have lost a listing to another agent. During the buying process you are sending listing alerts to clients, which keeps them engaged and keeps you top of mind. MLS listings provide you with a continuous stream of branded material that ensures a Buyer/Realtor relationship. However, very few agents use MLS data for their sellers as a form of drip marketing. It's like once they move into their home, they become forgotten and left to find … (8 comments)
