Leads Aren’t the Problem, Your Mindset Is: How to Lessen Your Losses w/Chris Heller
Thursday Sep 28, 2023
Thursday Sep 28, 2023
Real estate agents often blame their production issues on bad quality leads. The actual problem isn’t the leads themselves but rather our mindset surrounding them.
We don’t respond fast enough, we don’t have the muscle of consistent follow up, and we complain when the lead isn’t ready to take action right this second.
How do we develop a better attitude towards leads? How do we increase our chances of success? In this episode, Chief Real Estate Officer of OJO Labs, Chris Heller returns. Today, we discuss the lead generation mindset crisis in real estate and how we can solve it.
The concept of bad leads is a fallacy and one of the most damaging thoughts that agents can have. -Chris Heller
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
-Lead generation by design, not default
Instead of taking action when leads come in, how do we build the muscle proactively and get ahead of the game?
-Lessen your losses
How do we stop grumbling about leads and take advantage of the enormous, upside opportunity we have in front of us?
-You’re thinking yourself out of business
Many salespeople fear being pushy, but does pushiness have more to do with tonality than frequency of contact?

When it comes to lead conversion, what some agents think is bad luck is nothing more than a counterproductive approach. How can we expect success if we only call once and never follow up? The pattern of success with lead generation is simple: call fast, get them to the appointment as soon as possible, spot smoke screens, and follow up frequently.
How do we improve our lead conversion hygiene? Why do we have to close the gaps in our follow up?
In this episode, we share why your leads aren’t converting and the highest level and what to do about it.
Always assume there’s 3 more agents going after the same lead. -Greg Harrelson

Are we missing out on leads by dropping the ball on our follow up?
