Growth Leader Update for Weeks 7 and 8

By
Real Estate Agent with Boardman Realty Minnesota License#90858

Growth Leader leads have slowed a bit in the last two weeks. I am starting my ninth week using the Growth Leader system and my two referrals are close to writing offers. According to the performance evaluator I have 210 active and subscribed prospects in the system. (My count is higher for total leads into the system but the evaluator might not be counting the bogus and double entered leads.)

My current drill down is as follows:

  • 237 Total Leads
  • 1 Retry (Came in during the last 3 days...waiting to see if they come back)
  • 20 Active (Currently using the site and/or communicating with me directly.)
  • 193 Inactive (Signed up and have not returned to the site for over a week.)
  • 23 Trash (Bogus information, have agent, asked to be removed, double entry)

Of these leads I have been able to refer 2 to another agent who works in Minneapolis and she is actively working with these buyers. I referred a third Minneapolis lead to different agent who dropped the ball and now that buyer is working with someone else. Of the 20 active leads I am in communication with 3 potential buyers but all have some credit issues so time will tell if they are worthwhile. As noted previously, very few people are coming into www.servingBlaine.com looking to buy a home in Blaine. Most prospects still are looking out of my area in Minneapolis or its suburbs.

Another thing is that I do receive lots of calls and emails from other agents interested in the Growth Leader and Vision products. I do believe this is a good system. It would be a GREAT system for me if the leads were all directed toward my area. People in areas where their zip codes don't overlap with a big metropolitan area will have better success with the program. There are lots of leads coming in and if they were really targeted for my area, the program would be a great success.

Hi Teri, thanks for the update. We may be able to tweak your advertising campaign some more by adding names of areas within Blaine (if they have different zip codes) to target the traffic to your website more narrowly. Let me check in with our advertising team to see what we can potentially do for you. I'll get back to you.

Jennifer--Thanks for the offer. I have talked with Will who put in a ticket and was told that the soonest for a correction would b June or July. This change would include the three Blaine zipcodes separate from Minneapolis. The zipcodes are separate now under a Minneapolis heading and they are tied in with a big group of other Minneapolis areas that I do not work in. Because of the wide area I cover, I have added other zip codes so I can get some areas that make sense to a servingblaine.com name. There were development names within Blaine but those were weird search categories too. I have decide to just "make it work" for the trial. I do get lots of leads but many are outside the area I work in.

Gene--They have "tweaked" my system so much that now I get very few leads...maybe one a week so hopefully you get lots of good leads. :)
