Truth is, agents have had their backs against the wall for years competing for portal leads, pay-per-click (PPC), or Facebook Ads.
Portal leads – as you already know–are super expensive and cost brokers a high premium.
Zillow and Realtor.com are demanding more money from brokers and hold extremely high standards for brokers.
Essentially, the volume of portal leads is contingent upon your performance and how much money you generate for them.
Not to mention, the process of generating the leads and nurturing the leads requires a lot of effort and systems to close.
Basically, you are working for the portal. Not the other way around. I don’t deny your colleagues are generating a high volume of leads and positive returns with portals, and on Google and Facebook too.
While social leads are more affordable than portals and high in volume, they are typically low quality, low-intent leads.
The fact is, you need a proven system in place to prequalify, verify, and track these leads to know whether they are serious about working with you.
You probably are generating hundreds–maybe thousands of leads–from these platforms.
We knew there had to be a way to generate higher quality leads than current pay-per-click and Facebook leads at a fraction of the cost of portals.
