Real estate agents invest countless hours on the phone, making call after call. But, the harsh reality is that as many as 90% of these potential clients may never end up purchasing a home. In this video, we'll explore three common mistakes agents make when dealing with leads and provide simple strategies to boost your conversion rate and turn hard work into success.

1. Neglecting to Schedule a Firm Appointment Date

It's easy to get lost in conversation when setting up meetings with potential clients. However, it's crucial to confirm and set a specific appointment date. Ensure your clients commit to meeting you for cocktails or breakfast, as this eliminates any confusion about the scheduled day. One often-overlooked fact is that when you are the first realtor a client interacts with, you're 70% more likely to secure a successful sale.

2. Delaying Appointments Beyond 48 Hours

A common mistake among real estate professionals is waiting too long to schedule meetings. If you postpone meetings or rescheduling beyond 48 hours, the likelihood of clients choosing you as their real estate agent significantly diminishes. We recommend promptly scheduling a virtual tour. Whether you use YouTube, Facebook, FaceTime, or tools like Google Duo, perform a walkthrough within 48 hours of the initial inquiry.

3. Overlooking the Importance of Scripting

One of the most substantial blunders in lead conversion is failing to edit and practice scripts. While some agents may rely on charisma and wit, they may find themselves unprepared when handling prospective clients with objections. By being well-prepared and having perfected scripts for various scenarios, you can avoid losing potential clients and opportunities. Edit and fine-tune your scripts to perfection to ensure you're ready for any situation.
