The Value of Follow Up In Real Estate

So you’ve got a pretty solid lead generation strategy and you’re trying to build a lasting pipeline. But is your follow up plan working?

Most agents expend a lot of their energy generating more and more leads. Ramping up business is important, however it’s the next steps that really move your leads from the first phone call to the closing table! Having a follow up plan is a critical aspect of the process to convert a lead into a sale.

According to Sirius Decisions, the average real estate agent only makes 2 attempts at following up and 45% only make 1 attempt to follow up. Their conversion rate would increase 9x if they increased their follow up attempts to just 5!

There is POWER in the FOLLOW UP!

On average, it takes about anywhere from 7-12 touches to convert a lead into a sale. According to InsideSales.com, agents that make at least 6 follow up contacts have a 90% higher chance of getting a response and chance of converting the online lead.

70% of all deals CLOSE through follow ups! Let that sink in… If you don’t have a solid follow up plan in place you are missing out on more deals than you realize!
