PRLog -- Being a Realtor the biggest part of your business is lead generation/marketing and it can also be the most challenging aspect as well. There are many options available to an agent such as repeat business, referrals, cold calling, door knocking (always fun when it's 116 outside!) and subscribing to a pricey lead generation system. Not all of these work for everyone, especially a new agent who may not have any previous clients or a lot of cash to spend. The solution is easy...the internet!! Last week I attended a workshop on Internet Lead Generation taught by Jamie Cox. Approximately 40 adults, some tech savvy, some not so much, sat in the training room of Keller Williams Realty Southwest in Las Vegas not really knowing quite what to expect. I figured it would be like all the others I've been to, watched or read...go here, enter this, type that. post here and wait and wait and wait. I was wrong! There were things online that I could have been doing all along, but I was either too intimidated or didn't have the full understanding of them. The way Jamie explained the process and/or reasoning behind doing the things the was going to show us made complete sense and the best part, the majority of these resources that were available...were free!I learned a blog doesn't have to read like a prize-winning novel as long as the content is genuine, relevant and reaches your target audience. We talked about making videos and uploading those to YouTube. Again, they don't have to be fancy, but the do have to be sincere. People love videos! And most would rather to listen to a person
talk about a topic for a few minutes then have to read an article. Going into this class I never thought I would be able to be in the cool kid's club and be a blogger, but I'm finding that once it start writing it just kinda flows right out. I'm still not thrilled about the whole video thing, but I'm getting over that slowly. At least with the blogging I can still hid behind the keyboard, for now! In a nutshell, Jamie Cox gave us some of the most valuable information, tips and tools to make our presence known on the internet. It was, by far, the best workshop I have attended on Internet Lead Generation.Thank you, Jamie!
