- 4. 4 How many hours a day should an agent be prospecting? âI think itâs less about time and more about strategy. Most important prospecting calls are to your past clients and sphere of influence; if you can call them at least once a quarter, thatâs ideal. So if you have 500 in that core group, Iâll take 10 weeks (50 a week, over 5 work days in a week, thatâs 10 a day). The next part of the strategy is based on many deals I want to close, where are they going to come from, beyond my sphere? Geographic farm? Expireds? Internet Leads? How many from each? Then how many calls will generate me those sales? Always beginning with the end in mind, developing a plan for each âsiloâ of business, then evaluating regularly to figure out whatâs working, what isnât, and how long to change it.â - Amy Stoehr, Executive Coach McLean International Increase Listing Production
- 5. 5 The Importance of Farming (OWNING) a Specific Neighborhood? âAgain, this depends on your strategy. If you want to close 60 transactions a year, and just calling and mailing your database can do that for you, then itâs not important. For most people, itâs a balanced strategy of repeat/referral with the NEW business to hit goals, and for the vast majority it makes sense to geographic farm. If thatâs the case, then OWN that neighborhood. Donât mess around. Do your homework to make sure someone else isnât already owning it. You can spend a fortune trying to take a little market share from someone whoâs dominating. Or, you can find an area not dominated, and build your plan to own it over the next two years.â - Amy Stoehr, Executive Coach McLean International Increase Listing Production

And engage them in meaningful conversations that are relevant to them and their community. Then grow in concentric circles from there.

- 18. 18 Shortage of existing houses is critical to your success! ⢠It provides context to your prospecting call. ⢠May get interest and leads in other neighborhoods. ⢠Provides future follow-up opportunities. ⢠Do NOT ask if they are looking to sell. Ask if they know of anyone? If they are, it will come up in conversation. We Have Buyers!
- 19. 19 â Once I do door knock, I have the opportunity to have a conversation and the next thing you know, a cousin or niece is looking to find a home. More opportunity for business and even though I may not have as many contacts when I door knock, I do get more results than when I'm calling.â Maria Cooksley, NP Dodge, Omaha We have Buyers!

- 21. 21 The Importance of Keeping a Schedule? âParamount to long-term, major league success. Otherwise, this business will RUN you. Smart agents with business mindsets set their own boundaries and teach their market how business is meant to be done. Weaker agents let their clients dictate their schedules and as a result burnt out and have no life.â - Amy Stoehr, Executive Coach McLean International Keep a ScheduleâŚ
- 22. 22 âI started using Cole last year for Just Listed & Sold calls. When my coach suggested I move my prospecting up to a higher price point, I used Cole to target the neighborhoodsâŚI have listed and sold four homes so far using this system, two were double-sided. (The product is) easy to use and well worth the investmentâŚâ Cole Works Bill Dallas, Prudential Tropical Realty

- Webcast focus on increasing your listing production based on knowledge that we have gained over the years working with top producers from all across the country Survey with a company that we work with showing what the top 150 producers who closed an average of 90 transactions/year in their coaching program revealed 1. 28 % get their biz from past clients and/ Center of Influence whether thatâs direct business from them or referrals from them. 2. 13% drummed up business with Just Listed/Sold calls, doors and mailing campaigns. 3. 11% contacted Expireds and cancelled listings in the marketplace. 4. 9% drummed up business via FSBOâs and also cold doors 5. Sign calls, direct mail response, agent & company referrals
- Thatâs why Realtors need to reach out neighbors through the power of these three topics.
- 1) Take a moment, and letâs talk about why Just listed Just Sold works, timing is critical: Allows you leverage your visibility and credibility Leverage the fact that your name is in the front of the neighbors house Leverage the credibility that their neighbor trusts you Take advantage of âkeeping up with the Jonesesâ. If they are moving up to a larger home you want to also. These three elements make you a GREAT prospect for listing your home. The alternative to sit in your office and wait for a selling to call you, at which point your competition for that listing is everybody else in your office and/or company. So your lucky if one day a month you get a call because youâre next in the Que. Which would you prefer? Sit and be reactive or take charge by being proactive?
- Now letâs talk about an easy solution: Cole Realty Resource allows you to pull up the CLOSEST neighbors through our Aerial View search. Allows you to easily contact the closest 75 neighbors with visual of the home.
- Scripting is essential and VERY easy. These are NOT sales calls. They are NOT a service call. Itâs just a 411 informational call to the neighbors. Call #1: Introductory: Iâm sure you have seen the sign in the yard. Tyler & Anslee are moving. I apologize if you notice some extra traffic in the area checking out the property. Hereâs my number if you have any questions. I also might stop by next week and drop off a business card. Why are you calling me? Why are you bugging me? Because itâs VERY important. I gave an oath to my client, my client who happens to be your neighbor down the street that I would call of their neighbors to see if they know of anyone who might want to move into the neighborhood. And if you were my client, I would do the same thing! Why are you calling me? Why are you bugging me? Because whatever I list and sell your neighbors home for DIRECTLY impacts the value of YOUR home!
- Show results! Postcards should be simple straight forward & clear. According to Joy Gendusa of postcardmania.com, elements that must be included in your postcard should include: Clear and bold headline Graphics that support your message Color that pops Your logo âThe offerâ Calling or mailing should be that same messaging Successful agents tell us that you should strive to provide information of value to your neighborhood prospect. DONâT try to hard sell at this point. They havenât even told you theyâre ready to buy. If you hard sell at this point they will never call you. Do NOT make it a sales call. Again make it more of a 411 informational call.
- 2) Now letâs take a moment and think about farming neighborhoods As a Real Estate agent you understand more than anyone else that 12% of the population moves every year. Thatâs GREAT for you. 10% of the population in your city will move in the next 12 months. The NAR reports that 66% percent of homeowners listing their home signed on with the first Real Estate agent they talked to. A typical seller does NOT interview multiple agents to list their home. The question is, how do you make sure youâre the agent that gets the listing? With Just Listed/Just Sold prospecting that we were just talking about is great because youâre taking advantage of the fact that the neighbors know the owner of the property you just listed but it missies out on a big part of the neighborhood. Successful agents pick out a neighborhood or two and work continuously on building their BRAND within that neighborhood. In this process, a successful agent may reach out 3-4 times per year to everyone on the neighborhood so that when someone in that neighborhood decides to sell, they are the TOP of MIND agent.
- Contact your Center of Influence or Past Client and ask for their permission to call into a neigborhood. Your call could be something like this, âJohn, I apologize.â They will ask you why you are sorry. Because I helped you sell/buy your house two years ago and havenât followed up with you since. I am so sorry. How are thing? Maybe they are ready to move again, HOT LEAD. Oh, Iâm so happy you love your house/neighborhood. If you donât mind, Iâd love to call of your neighbors and introduce myself and see if they might be in the market to buy/sell. Pull up their closest 500 neighbors and now use their name as a reference. âIâm not sure if you know Jan and John down the street. They have used my services in the past and suggested I give you a callâŚâ
- Now letâs talk about an easy solution to neighborhood farming.  Demo onscreen Google mapping  Listings of recently sold homes including the price. This tells them the potential price they could get if they sold their home. Average time of market. This proves that you CAN move homes in their neighborhood. Donât get all wrapped up on who sold it at this point, include every sale. Open House: Schedule an Open House on a property that is not your listing. This is a great reason to call a neighborhood. Iâm not sure if you know Anslee & Tyler on N 14th St but they just listed their home. Itâs a great home to raise a family in. If you would like to stop by, we will be handing out bags of popcorn.
- Scripting is essential and VERY easy. These are NOT sales calls. They are NOT a service call. Itâs just a 411 informational call to the neighbors. Call #1: Introductory: Iâm sure you have seen the sign in the yard. Tyler & Anslee are moving. I apologize if you notice some extra traffic in the area checking out the property. Hereâs my number if you have any questions. I also might stop by next week and drop off a business card. Why are you calling me? Why are you bugging me? Because itâs VERY important. I gave an oath to my client, my client who happens to be your neighbor down the street that I would call of their neighbors to see if they know of anyone who might want to move into the neighborhood. And if you were my client, I would do the same thing! Why are you calling me? Why are you bugging me? Because whatever I list and sell your neighbors home for DIRECTLY impacts the value of YOUR home!

- The final way CRR can help neighbors on the move is the fact you can leverage/take advantage of the fact that you already have buyers In todayâs market more than ever, when there is a shortage of listed properties this is critical to your success. In this scenario, you have a buyer interested in a particular neighborhood but there are no homes on the market. Rather than give up or convince your client to look somewhere else take charge of the situation and make prospecting calls into the neighborhood that the client is interested in. As we talked about earlier 12% of the population will move this year. So as youâre calling into this target neighborhood, you know, for a fact, that if you make 10 calls, one of them may be ready to sell. The best part of this approach is more likely than not you we get a double sided deal. In fact, we recently met with a realtor located just a few blocks away from us. Maria said that she recently called into a subdivision using our platform. By just being on the phone for a couple of hours, she was able to produce 3 leads/appointments. These are folks who arenât ready to sell this instant but w/in the next 3-6 months. As we said earlier, she has a 66% chance of now getting those listings because 2/3 of these folks will not interview another realtor.

- At this point, youâre also educating the neighbors of the market. Once youâve established that relationship, you can introduce yourself, let them know (if they donât already) what youâve done for their neighbor & because you have already spoken to this person, what you can do for them. Suggested script:
