What to Do When You Find Real Estate Prospects (The 4 S’s of Prospecting)

NAPLES, Fla. - July 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Presented by Naples real estate school Larson Educational Services

All of our prospecting tips so far have been focused on how to get prospects, this post is about how to maintain them. These are The 4 S’s of Prospecting, or what to do with a prospect once they give you their business card or other contact information.

1. See

See the prospects. Make face-to-face contact with them so you are in their mind when they need to sell a home. You don’t have to be pushy, but make sure they know that you are in the business of real estate so they know you are the one to call to help with their next purchase or sale.

2. Save

Save their information and mark them with leads to other people they may know who could be potential clients. Keep track of pertinent information they have given you, such as life goals, upcoming location changes, and housing needs.

3. Schedule

Set an appointment to meet with them and make sure you keep that appointment. If they are willing to give you their time they will be looking for you to prove that you are trustable. The best way to gain the trust of a prospect is to do what you say you will do. There is no faster way to lose a prospect than to be late for an appointment.

4. Sell

This is the ultimate goal, isn’t it? Sell them something. And if they aren’t buying or selling, maybe they have a friend who is or a family member who will. You never want to lose a potential prospect because of a bad interaction.
