During these times of uncertainty, it can be difficult to keep your head in the game, let alone keep your prospects engaged.
Now is the time to do all of those things you’ve always wanted to do, but never seemed to have the time.
You now have the time.
Let’s look at a few activities you can do to ensure you have business when we get on the other side of these challenging times.
Engage More on Social Media
With “extra” time on their hands, many people are spending more time on social media.
That means, you should be spending more time on social media.
It’s important to remember why people turn to social media. They go to social media to be entertained…so be entertaining!
This doesn’t mean that you can’t post about real estate, just don’t let real estate be your primary topic. Try 90% social and 10% real estate.
Post a mix of entertainment, education and inspirational.
While you’re busy posting, don’t forget to comment on other people’s posts. Take the time to read their post and make a thoughtful comment. Comments have a greater impact than simply “Liking” a post.
Engage Your Prospects With an Email Campaign
Remember all of those leads you failed to follow up with?
You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones from open houses you held months and months ago.
As time went by, you became more and more embarrassed to contact them. Now is the perfect time.
Why not reach out to them now to see if they are still in the market to purchase?
Create a series of educational emails to send the them on a weekly basis.
Educate them on the home buying process.
If they aren’t interested in buying, they can always opt-out of receiving your emails.
You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Engage With a Handwritten Note
If there was ever a time when a handwritten note is appreciated, this is the time.
This is a difficult and uncertain time for all of us.
A handwritten note is like a breath of fresh air.
It shows that someone cares about us.
Although you don’t mention real estate in your note, it may be a reminder that they were meaning to call you to discuss buying or selling.
Being in the house for so long has shown some people that they need a new place to call home.
The Time is Now
As difficult as this may be, make the choice to be optimistic.
We will get through this…one way or another.
Now is the time for you to do all of the things you have been putting off for the past year.
Engage with your sphere of influence, your past clients and your forgotten leads.
We will get through these trying times. And when we come out, we want to have a business to go back to.
If you don’t do the work now, you won’t have much business, if any, in the future.
So if you think you’re having a hard time now, imagine when you get through this and have nothing to show for it.
Take care and stay safe!
