“We have found Zillow leads to be consistently strong compared to those from other sources. Zillow almost always provides complete information, which lets you know the information is coming from more motivated buyers. Making this investment frees me up to spend more of my time serving clients, rather than chasing down hundreds of leads that may never turn into sales.”

This post covers one of the biggest obstacles in this industry of knowing what to say to someone on the phone. You’ve given some great examples to help people get started. Someone getting ready to get on the phone should also prepare themselves to not be attached to the outcome. Call your prospects without any intention other than trying to help the other person.

Online lead generation is an Internet marketing term that refers to the generation of prospective consumer interest or inquiry into a business' products or services through the Internet. Leads, also known as contacts, can be generated for a variety of purposes: list building, e-newsletter list acquisition, building out reward programs, loyalty programs or for other member acquisition programs.

If you are looking for a list of free sales leads who are already interested in your company, product or service then that is not likely to happen, unfortunately. The reason for this is that unless you – or someone else – has actively marketed your message, how can you suppose that there are people out there that are going to be automatically interested in what you have to say? The closest you can come is by defining who your ideal customer is and then going after those kinds of companies.

This mainly happens through digital channels, using inbound marketing techniques and a little bit of old-school outbound marketing (more on that in a minute). Buyers today do so much online information gathering on their own, they’re not so keen on listening to traditional sales pitches. Instead, companies have to meet prospective buyers on their own turf: the internet.
Purchased leads, sourced through real estate lead generation companies, allow agents to focus on moving potential buyers and sellers through the sales funnel without wasting time on manual lead sourcing. We reviewed 12 top real estate lead generation companies that offer agents and brokers leads, landing on the top six in the industry based on price, advertising options, lead nurturing tools, and support.
Your goal, obviously, is to turn as many new leads as possible into qualified leads ready to do business with you. How your organization does that depends on a number of factors: what you sell; whether you sell online, in person, or both; and so on. But whether you’re a solopreneur selling subscriptions to your investment blog or a coffee roaster serving local businesses and mail-order customers, the same basic principles of identifying, organizing, and working with leads apply. The more efficiently your business captures and identifies new, qualified leads, the better you’ll be able to work with them.

ZPA lets agents pay to have their profiles appear as the only contact on listings when buyers search for available properties on Zillow, Trulia, or StreetEasy. When a prospect wants to contact an agent for more information, they can do so directly from the listing by filling out the on-screen form; there is no need for a user to navigate to a separate landing page. ZPA guarantees exclusive inclusion for members, though this has not been confirmed.

^{Whenever the call leader and any number of participants are in one central location, and all other participants are in one or more remote locations, extra attention must be paid to those who are remote. In this scenario, the call leader must battle the exclusion factor – wherein remote participants can inadvertently be made to feel alone and alienated.}
I've used many lead companies in the past that claim to deliver up to date and accurate lists but always fall short of their promises, www.goleads.com is the exception. By far www.goleads.com has delivered the most accurate leads I have ever used. Everyone we speak to has matched the criteria we wanted 100% and the wrong numbers and disconnects are almost non existent. From now on www.goleads.com is our lead source.

^{Salespeople and marketers like to talk about the funnel. The funnel is a way of describing all of your business’ potential customers, and how some of them will evolve into actual customers. The top of the funnel (TOFU) is full of leads — potential customers, most of whom are just trying to find solutions to the problems they’re experiencing but who may not be ready to purchase right away. The goal is to help guide as many of those leads as possible through the middle of the funnel (MOFU), where there is more interest in your product or business, to the bottom of the funnel (BOFU), where fewer people remain, but they’re the ones who are ready to do business.}
Your website is where the magic happens. This is the place where your audience needs to convert. Whether it is encouraging prospective buyers to sign up for your newsletter or fill out a form for a demo, the key is to optimize your website for converting browsers into actual leads.  Pay attention to forms, Calls-to-Action (CTA), layout, design, and content.

Content is a great way to guide users to a landing page. Typically, you create content to provide visitors with useful, free information. You can include CTAs anywhere in your content — inline, bottom-of-post, in the hero, or even on the side panel. The more delighted a visitor is with your content, the more likely they are to click your call-to-action and move onto your landing page.
The news source also explains that you should never ask if consumers are available to talk. This question gives leads the perfect escape route from the call – they can simply say no and hang up the phone. Only use direct statements and don’t ask questions until the conversation is flowing naturally and you’re confident that the prospect is interested in hearing additional information.
3. After you listen to them tell you what their wants and problems are, offer them a solution and then a pathway to follow if they want to solve their problem. For example, you mentioned you really needed to do something about _______, if I could show you a way that would help with that, would you be open to it or are you not that serious about it right now? When they answer that they are serious, respond with, I have a video at ______, go through that to see if it is a fit or not and if it is or you have questions, call me back at _________. Note: You could also schedule how soon they plan on watching the video and follow back up with them if that is more your style.
2. I get this question ALL THE TIME. “Ray, when I call these leads, what should I sell them? Should I sell them MLSP first or my primary company?” I suggest NOT having a already determined sales product when calling them. My suggestion is call them and LISTEN. Listen to what they are looking for and what they are also able to do. If someone is dead broke, then you may want to promote to them a low cost entry product at first to get them in the door. You may be talking to a lead that is very satisfied with their network marketing business but looking for ways to market it better, for those, I would suggest promoting My Lead System Pro.
^{Content: While the download of a coupon shows an individual has a direct interest in your product or service, content (like an educational ebook or webinar) does not. Therefore, to truly understand the nature of the person's interest in your business, you'll probably need to collect more information to determine whether the person is interested in your product or service and whether they're a good fit.}
