He gave me the exact formula he had used to generate 987 unique visitors to his website generating 40 leads and 5 appointments. All in the past 7 days! So I wanted to share this with you ASAP.

The source of all the traffic was Craigslist and he used similar principles that I outline in the Buyer Leads By Tonight system (if you don’t have a copy you can grab one here: http://www.BLBTSytem.com). However her used a different formula for his ads and conversion than I have been teaching. Now I know that there is “more than 1 way to skin a cat” and so I think you’ll find this formula to be helpful and hope that you choose to use it:

Here is his “Secret Formula”:
For the 7 days he posted a total of 30 Craigslist ads. His ads were for specific listings but use curiosity driven copywriting and also included a call to action as we prescribe. The 30 ads were 5 different listings he posted 6 different times during the week. Here is the basic structure he use: (per the Craigslist fields which need to be filled in)

Price: Left Blank (creates more curiosity)

BR: Included

Headline: Curiosity driven, ex: Country Living at it’s Best (Motivated Seller) or Below Market Rancher (Virtual Tour)

Body:
Offer with CTA

Ex:
SEARCH MLS ONLINE
Want to Search the local MLS online? Save time and access to up-to-the-minute information
Go To (link on your website that offers free IDX search)
Info on property referenced in headline

Ex:
Take advantage of the TAX CREDIT and possible SELLER HELP to make it happen for you!
Enjoy the country! Right next to State Game Lands. Enough parking for all your toys.
Convenient route to Rt. 66 & to all areas.
Furnace, septic, and well pump serviced, nice glass top stove, wood fireplace, washer and dryer all included so you can move right in.

Now I am sure that some of you are thinking that this differs from what you have seen me recommend in the past which is send all traffic to unbranded lead capture pages. But again I am wise enough to realize that there is more than one way to convert leads and this is clearly working for my buddy and I plan to test it in my business as well.

Let me again summarize his results using this formula for just one week:
987 unique visitors to his site
40 leads – people who filled out something on the site providing their information
5 appointments – this number will go up as these are all leads that came in over last 7 days, 2 are already signed to buyer agency and another one will be 2 transactions as they need to sell their existing home.
Pretty powerful stuff!

Finally an extremely important piece of this formula is a website that can convert traffic to leads and consequently appointments and closings. If you aren’t happy with your current website provider or don’t yet have a site you need to call the provider both my buddy and I use:

Jon Young – Ext. 308
WebAgentSolutions
(215) 996-1390 x308
Jon@WebAgentSolutions.com

These guys are starting to get really busy but if you tell them your with
me you can still get a great discount.

If you have any questions about how their sites work or you would like to see my site as a sample let me know.

Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think!

A recent ABC News story highlighted real estate agent Deven Traboscias’s effort to auction off her Florida home and herself. The auction was marketed on eBay and Craigslist and attracted a great deal of attention. In fact, her story has traveled throughout the Internet and has received a great deal of publicity.

Would you do something this extreme to sell a home?

Many real estate agents are struggling to survive in today’s tough real estate market. Some are going to extremes to sell a home. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be the case for you.

A friend of mine, Rob Minton, who is an agent from Ohio, is hosting a special teleseminar, which will help you make the current foreclosure crisis pay off by showing you how to dominate the buyer side of the market. Rob is a fantastic marketer and you’ll learn a lot on this special conference call. Most agents are trying to get REO and bank-owned listings, leaving a BIG gap on the buyer side of the foreclosure market.

This teleseminar will be held on Thursday, December 17, at 2pm EST/1pm CT/11am PT. You’ll learn how to:

1.    Generate hundreds of targeted buyer leads inexpensively
2.    Automatically convert prospects into clients
3.    Get prospects to “apply” to become one of your clients
4.    Quickly obtain expert positioning
5.    Eliminate competition from other agents in your marketplace.
6.    Profit from your unconverted leads

For a limited time, you can register to attend Rob’s Foreclosure Domination teleseminar without charge at:

P.S. WARNING: Time is of the essence with the information contained in this new teleseminar because the gap in the market will soon be closing as other agents “see” this same opportunity.  If you delay in implementing these ideas in your business, you will miss out on your opportunity to dominate the buyer side of the foreclosure market.

When my friend Jim Casey, a respected and sought after real estate trainer and speaker, (he also sells real estate in California), told me about his new system for using your current database to get more closings, I thought I’d at least listen to what he had to say.

Now, in case you think this is just a bunch of unproven theories and ideas, you should know that Jim has been teaching his systems and strategies for over 14 to some of the top agents across North America.

Top real estate agents like Allan Domb – the “Condo King” of Philadelphia, who credits many of the over 900 deals he closes to Jim’s teachings.  Leslie Edwards of Georgia also credits Jim with her phenomenal success.  

What Jim has done is taken all of his know-how and expertise and put it all together in a step-by-step format.

His strategies are very powerful, yet extremely simple. I don’t know why someone didn’t think of
it sooner. He created a short video that tells you all about it and what’s in it for you.

Jim will also explain how you can get access to his FREE Video Training.  Here are just some of Jim’s Money-Making Strategies that he profiles:

1. Automated Past Buyer Follow Up System.  Never let a buyer forget who sold them their house.  You can do this simply and cost effectively with Dave Beson’s LetterWriter software for Agent Office.
2. Rejection Free For Sale By Owner Prospecting.  Why not make the FSBO’s come to you?  It’s easy if you have the right ammunition.
3. The Lexus Listing Plan.  Everyone in real estate sells the Ford Taurus of listing services.  Why not offer something better, and get paid MORE for it.  I’ll show you how to build an upgrade to your existing listing plan that can be launched on top of your standard plan.
4. The Preferred Vendor List.  Every new buyer needs a referral to at least 20 local businesses when they move into a new town.  I’ll show you how to build that list and how to leverage it into advertising dollars and reciprocal referrals.

Anyway, I suggest you check it out – it’s fr-ee.

Best,

Josh

I hope you had as busy a week as I did!  I think I had 17 appts. this week which was crazy.  I wanted to share a tip that I think will be useful to many of you.  The reason I wanted to share this is because I have been amazed at how few agents know about this.

OK, so what am I talking about?  Well what I want to share is a tip for using something called reverse prospecting.  Now your MLS system may have a different name for it, but I think almost all MLS systems have this functionality in some shape or form.  Now let me try and explain what this is exactly. 

This function allows you to take any of your listings or any listing and search how many other agents hare working with buyers and have set up auto notifications that match the listing.  The most common way of using this function is to simply send an email to those agents letting them know you have a property that matches a buyers search criteria that they are working with.  But let me give you 2 other great ways to use this that may not have thought of:

1.  You pick up a listing on say a Wednesday morning.  You can use this function to search for the other agents looking for buyers of your property.  Then pick up the phone and call each agent, but here is how you position this call.  Let them know that you are going to be listing a property that meets the criteria of a buyer they are working with.  Then tell them that they have the opportunity to really separate themselves with their buyers by telling them that because you (buyers agent) have your pulse on the market you know about a property coming up that hasn’t even been listed yet and how their buyers can get a jump on the competition because of this. 

So this can do 2 things for you:

• first off you can generate a buzz for your property before it even hits the MLS
• second you are allowing other agents in your market to add value and positioning with their buyer clients

2.  The other way you can use this as part of a listing presentation.  You can do this search prior to the presentation and show your potential sellers how you will use this information to sell their home quickly by creating a buzz.  And I don’t know about your market but in my market it’s like less than 2% of agents in my area even use this function whatsoever.

Now to really get results with this you need to have homes that are priced right, because in this market generally speaking price is pretty much the only thing that sells houses.

I hope this is helpful and would love your feedback on this as well!

You may have already seen and heard this, but Google just added the ability to syndicate listings to their maps feature.  This is yet another great no cost feature that you have access to and should leverage in your business.  Here is a link to a great blog post that I think explains it pretty well:

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1312464/google-maps-new-feature-for-real-estate-listings

Pay attention to what you need to do to syndicate your listings as that is most critical part.  Will be interesting to see how this materializes and what kind of traffic it might draw.

Have a great week!
