Why Are You Letting Leads Slip Away?
A new study, conducted by our team in partnership with WAV Group, reveals that many brokers are still struggling with lead management, and losing far too many prospects in the process.
Posing as consumers, researchers inquired about listings on broker websites, Zillow.com, Realtor.com, and Trulia.com. Reaching out to 384 brokers in 11 states, we found:
- 48% of inquiries went unanswered
- Average response time was 15 hours
- Call-back attempts averaged 1.5
- Email contacts averaged 2.07
The Burden of DIY Lead Gen
In speaking to countless independent brokers, common themes run through their lead generation experiences: It’s expensive, hit or miss, extremely time consuming, and often confusing thanks to a digital landscape that never stops shifting.
“The survey may sound surprising, but I can relate,” says David Vane of Weichert, REALTORS®— New Colony. “As an independent, you’re overseeing multiple websites, worrying about rankings, and collaborating with SEO experts, and clients can fall through the cracks.”
“Staying in contact is important, but having a polished e-mail campaign full of information, tips, and tools that buyers and sellers can really use adds value that makes a difference,” says Michael McKenna of Weichert, REALTORS®— New Colony.
