Let’s Look at Some Real Numbers From Our Own Texting Campaigns
If you weren’t aware, our founder and CEO, Bob Lachance, is an active real estate investor and uses his own Virtual Assistants for all aspects of lead generation in his real estate business.
This includes text message marketing that has led to some impressive results to say the least.
We took a look at the numbers for last month (September) of 2022 and here is how it breaks down for just one Virtual Assistant managing a new campaign:
11,963 total texts sent (87.30% deliverability rate)
1,452 total responses (12.14% response rate)
94 motivated seller leads (3-4 qualified leads per day)
12 contracts locked up
6 deals closed
Text message marketing for real estate investors is without a doubt a powerful strategy that should be implemented, but it has to be done consistently for it to be successful.
Too often investors try a new strategy for one month, don’t get the results they were expecting, and quit calling it a dead strategy.
This is simply not true and we have the data to back it up!
How Can I Automate My Texting Campaigns?
Great question! That’s where REVA Global’s Virtual Assistants come in.
While this strategy has proven to be extremely effective, it takes a lot of time and energy to manage campaigns by yourself.
From pulling the list, to importing it into your texting software, to managing the back and forth communication, to implementing drip campaigns, to creating new templates, to setting appointments, it can be a huge drain on your energy and will eat up so much of your time.
Not only does it require a lot of time and energy, the truth is that it is not the highest and best use of your time.
For real estate investors, it’s important to stay focused on the income-producing tasks that drive revenue in your business.
