Ever feel like you’re sitting on gold but don’t realize it? In this episode, I dive deep into one of the most overlooked yet most profitable aspects of real estate sales—the power of follow-up. I’m sharing real-life stories from my own team at Oasis Home Buyers, including how a brand-new rep uncovered thousands of dollars from leads that were over 760 days old.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, this episode will show you why consistent follow-up isn’t just a good idea—it’s the key to unlocking hidden revenue and long-term success. Tune in to hear how we’re training our sales team for greatness and why grit and persistence always pay off.

Key Takeaways
Old leads are not dead leads – Deals can still be locked up even after two years if you’re willing to do the work.
Success in sales starts with grit – New reps learn more from dialing older leads and facing rejection than from chasing new ones.
Fortune truly is in the follow-up – Consistent effort and follow-up lead to unexpected and rewarding results.
