How I'm Winning New Realtor Referrals
I love “refi booms” because I find this to be the best time to win Realtor Referrals away from other Loan Officers!
I’ve been setting aside 2 hours every week to prospect for new Realtors and another 2 hours to meet with them! My goal is to establish 2 new relationships each week. Now this is where it gets fun!!!
You already know what other Loan Officers have offered them to earn their business- mainly “product dumping” and the famous weekly call – “your loan is doing fine and oh yeah – You’re the Greatest”! While they’re schmoozing, I’m adding value.
I make sure that I have so much in my arsenal that it is impossible for a Realtor to say “No”. The Big Guru’s call these USP’s (Unique Selling Propositions). I just call them having more bullets for my gun!
Ben’s Rules for Annihilating the Competition:
a) Remember- it takes a little money to make money and capture market share- so don’t kid yourself!
b) Do what everybody else out there isn’t doing – Work!!!
Ben’s Marketing Weapon of Mass Production #1:
The first marketing weapon I’d like to share on the Top of Mind Blog is called ePropertysites. When I call on a new Realtor, I like to take them by surprise and ask them if I can help market their listings! ePropertysites has a program that allows me to:
a) Create websites for their listed homes
b) Post them to Craig’s List twice a week (plus ePropertysites posts them to ten other sites such as Zillow and Google Base on a daily basis)!
c) Then I create the Realtors their own accounts – so that the leads go straight to them! I make them look like heroes to their sellers!
I’ll be writing some more articles soon with other marketing ideas I’ve been using to dominate my market. Until then, have a great week!
