Are you walking away from online leads because they aren’t ready to buy right now? If so, you are missing an opportunity. What if you treated those prospects the same as your friends and family, your professional network and your past clients? What if you applied relational marketing to your online leads and used branding to make yourself more approachable? What if you leveraged online leads to grow your SOI, scale your influence, and sell more homes in the long run?
Mike Bernier is the Co-owner and Sales Manager at Realty Group, one of the Twin Cities’ elite brokerages. He is a member of the Minnesota REALTORS Forms Committee and the Minnesota REALTORS Professional Standards Committee, and in 2014, Mike was among the top 1% of agents in the state.
