Let’s be honest, you probably dread picking up the phone to call on Realtors.
They all know the motive behind the initial pleasantries and ass kissing is because we want their business.
Call reluctance is real, BUT…
It does NOT have to be this way.
And in today’s LO Launch Letter, I am going to show you how to crush your Realtor prospecting calls.
You will go into these calls feeling excited and confident, while winning the respect of your Realtors.
Yes, you read that correctly: “...feeling excited and confident, while winning the respect of your Realtors”
But, before I give you the secret sauce, keep this in mind:
In order to add value, you must be of value.
Realtors are a large source of business for many Loan Officers.
Many homebuyers should start their home search with Loan Officers first, but unfortunately, most don’t.
So, as Loan Officers, we must procure, prospect and retain new and active Realtors if we want to grow.
[In a future newsletter, I’ll share how to diversify your lead sources with direct-to-consumer strategies and Financial Advisors]
So, we have to pre-suade before we persuade.
Over the past several years, I create “Realtor Value Bombs” (RVBs for short) that are sent out every Saturday morning (similar to this LO Launch Letter).
It’s not really a newsletter like this, but more of a hyper abbreviated newsletter that gives my Realtor target audience one powerful business building nugget.
Because let’s be honest (I am whispering this next sentence):
Most Realtors are super scatterbrained and will not read long, boring, complicated newsletters from Loan Officers (I mean, would you?).
They want the goods quickly.
So, what are the goods? What is this the Realtor Value Bomb?
Instead of talking about it, let me show you one from Shawn Kaplan.
Shawn is a top producing Branch Manager in Tennessee that is also one of the many incredible coaches at GO! Coaching.
Check it out:
He sent this in an email to all his Realtors through his CRM, and it serves as a talking point on his 3 hour Monday morning power hour to over 40 Realtors.
Sales is so much about confidence and sending these in advance of your Realtor phone prospecting sessions will separate you from the pack.
AND you can also use these to create social media content on your general feed, your private Realtor FB group, or your Realtor IG broadcast channel.
You do have a private Realtor FB group and/or an IG broadcast channel right?
Okay, one step at a time.
Here are your action steps for today:
Plan to start sending these twice a month and gradually move to weekly.
But send on Saturday or Sunday mornings as those times have the highest open rates.
Watch how many more Realtors pick up your calls moving forward and start to refer you.
Let’s GO!
