Level Up - From Agent to EntrepreneurLevel Up - From Agent to EntrepreneurHow to Turn Conversations Into Commission Checks w/ Matthew FerryIf you’re failing at lead conversion, it might not be because they are unmotivated. It might not even be that the market is slow.  Your clients might be locked up because of what’s coming out of your mouth. Many agents struggle to get sellers to adjust their price or buyers to make a decision, Chances are, you’re accidentally framing conversations in a way that creates uncertainty and resistance.  And in this market, uncertainty kills deals.

No leverage, just hustle, heart, and a belief that more was possible.  Fast forward to today, and that same small operation has grown into a thriving team of 20 to 25 agents. They’re not just holding steady in a tough market. They’re outpacing it.  While many agents and teams have seen production shrink by 10 to 15%, Anthwon’s team has increased its production by 47%.  So, how does that kind of transformation happen?

If you ask the buyers what’s holding them back, you’ll hear a completely different story.  It has less to do with what’s actually going on in the market, and more to do with what the agent isn’t doing. Many buyers are just moving through the funnel, and they just need an agent to guide them towards actually getting into a home.  Agents aren’t asking the right question...2025-02-2022 minLevel Up - From Agent to EntrepreneurLevel Up - From Agent to EntrepreneurHow to Have Real Estate Conversations NOT InterrogationsSelling isn’t telling - it’s asking questions….We’ve all heard this before.  But how do you deliver really good questions without creating more resistance in the lead? Because let’s be honest: asking a lot of questions has its downsides if we’re not strategic about it.  What’s meant to be a productive conversation can easily turn into an interrogation that puts the prospect off. Rapport defeats sales resistance, so if we want to get better results, we have to change how we’re asking questions.  Why do we have to stop pepper...2025-01-3009 minLevel Up - From Agent to EntrepreneurLevel Up - From Agent to EntrepreneurWhy So Many Real Estate Agents FAIL in Their First 2 YearsIn real estate, 80% of newly licensed agents fail out in the first 2-4 years - but this doesn’t need to be the case.  The first 2 years in real estate can be tough, but that doesn’t mean you can’t succeed. In fact, plenty of brand new agents are able to start selling homes in their first 90 days in the business.

The only problem is, when the conversion of those leads is low, it tanks our ROI and in turn, our profitability.  When agents struggle with conversion, they tend to blame the lack of return on the quality of the lead.  But my experience with different lead sources and platforms proves that this isn’t true.

As a result, the conversion ratio from online capture to connection has dropped drastically and the price-per-lead is going to skyrocket.  With all our communications getting filtered more heavily, sending one-size-fits-all email blasts just won’t cut it.
