How to Increase Your Lead Conversion (Without Learning a New Skill)

If you asked real estate agents what they spend the most money on, lead generation would be at the top of the list. The only problem is, when the conversion of those leads is low, it tanks our ROI and in turn, our profitability. 

When agents struggle with conversion, they tend to blame the lack of return on the quality of the lead. 

But my experience with different lead sources and platforms proves that this isn’t true. After evaluating tens of thousands of leads across different sources, this is what I’ve found. 

The most impactful ratio to the conversion of a lead is the agent’s activity. 

What can we do to increase our conversion and get a higher ROI? In this episode, I talk about 3 metrics that will transform your lead conversion efforts.
