If you ignore the many options available, you\u2019ll likely fall behind. Voice broadcasting is one tool with many uses for the savvy agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, voice broadcasting <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Voice_broadcasting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is a service<\/a> in which the phone system dials a list of numbers you provide and plays a pre-recorded message to either an individual or a group of people. It\u2019s one of the most effective ways to reach multiple customers or to answer frequently asked questions for new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3&nbsp;Uses of Voice Broadcasting for Real Estate Agents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many applications for real estate agents seeking contact with both new and existing customers. As an agent, you may find your own unique uses for voice broadcasting, but here are some of the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Canvas neighborhoods.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want new clients, you should start by cold calling the neighborhoods you\u2019re familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With voice broadcasting, you can easily leave voicemail messages full of information to pique a potential client\u2019s interest. For example, you might leave a message about high foreclosure rates or high numbers for new listings to create a sense of urgency for both buyers and sellers. This is a great way to generate conversions from clients who may not have an agent in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/biggest-drawbacks-real-estate-agent\" target=\"_blank\">The 3 Biggest Drawbacks of Being a Real Estate Agent in This Day and Age<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy to purchase lists of phone numbers for this very purpose, and you can call thousands of numbers in a short amount of time, almost guaranteeing at least one new contact with each sweep. New clients can easily contact you with the provided information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Improve client services and communication.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, you\u2019re just too busy to handle all of your clients\u2019 questions right away. Using a voice broadcasting system is a simple way to improve your services. Regular messages or phone calls about important information in the home selling or buying process are highly beneficial for clients who may be unfamiliar with the process. Because it\u2019s automated, your clients get their answers without taking up any of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voice broadcasting can be easily customized to give the call recipient options as well. For example, if they want to hear answers to frequently asked questions about mortgage options, they can press one. If they want to hear tips from experienced real estate agents on getting a home inspection, they can press two, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/forums\/21\/topics\/96500-lack-of-communication-equals-your-own-wasted-time\" target=\"_blank\">Communication gets a lot easier<\/a> with this automated service, as it sends appointment reminders, promotions, or updates on specified listings. It can keep clients in the loop and avoid miscommunications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Enhance marketing campaigns.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most real estate agents utilize a calling campaign to attract new clients. They purchase phone numbers and call people regularly with special offers, compelling information, and advertisements. With voice broadcasting, it\u2019s easy to automate the process and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/forums\/87\/topics\/379059-cold-call-center-for-motivated-sellers\" target=\"_blank\">enhance your marketing calls.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/2016\/05\/04\/real-estate-agentsprioritize-email-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\">8 Indisputable Reasons Real Estate Agents NEED to Prioritize Email Marketing<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your message is appealing, warm, friendly, and offers value to a customer base, you will get returned calls. Oftentimes, your broadcast will reach a customer just in time for them to need a real estate agent, and because you reached out first, you\u2019ll win their loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n    \n  <div id=\"visibility-group-block_0a7a96f5c8071072f53306dc8f5df13c\" class=\"visibility-group alignwide  hidden\">\n        \n\n<div id=\"hero-block_d4697c61e14ddbd9113f5a92d45522e7\" class=\"first:mt-0 hero-block py-4  alignwide   has-background has-slate-200-background-color has-text-color has-theme-gold-color\">\n    <div\n        class=\"gap-10 lg:gap-20 flex flex-wrap lg:flex-nowrap max-w-screen-xl mx-auto px-4 relative lg:items-center \">\n\n        <div class=\"relative z-30 lg:w-1\/2 \">\n            <main class=\"py-4\">\n                \n\n<p class=\"has-slate-800-color has-text-color has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Find the Right Agent, Close the Best Deal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-3 md:my-5 lg:my-8 has-slate-900-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Step #1: Use Agent Finder to match with top <em><strong>investor-friendly<\/strong><\/em> real estate agents to help you find, analyze, and close your next deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=button-custom-event-block_69bdabc2f6ddbc7a0dcfee03c56f0523 class='button-custom-event'>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/agent\/match\" x-on:click=\"window.analytics.track(&#039;Blog Block | B2C Marketplace Agent Finder&#039;, {\n      referrer: &#039;https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/voice-broadcasting&#039;,\n    });\" class=\" btn-shape inline-block no-underline has-background has-theme-blue-background-color has-text-color has-white-color\" target=\"_blank\">Find an Agent<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n\n            <\/main>\n        <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"lg:w-1\/2 first:mt-0 relative h-full lg:flex lg:items-center\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"object-cover w-full relative z-20 my-0  rounded-md hidden lg:block\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Marketplace-Blog-Blocks-Agent-v3.png\" alt=\"investor friendly real estate agent\" title=\"\">\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n  \n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n    \n  <div id=\"visibility-group-block_64dd31c79f00f\" class=\"visibility-group  \">\n        \n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"hero-block_64dd2875dba9d\" class=\"first:mt-0 hero-block py-4    has-background has-slate-100-background-color has-text-color has-theme-slate-color\">\n    <div\n        class=\" flex flex-wrap lg:flex-nowrap max-w-screen-xl mx-auto px-4 relative lg:items-center \">\n\n        <div class=\"relative z-30 w-full \">\n            <main class=\"py-4\">\n                \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading my-0 tracking-tight font-extrabold has-theme-slate-dark-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Join the community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-3 md:my-5 lg:my-8 has-theme-slate-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Ready to succeed in real estate investing?

An industry favorite is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dialmycalls.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DialMyCalls<\/a>, which allows you to message up to 200,000 people at once. There\u2019s also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplycast.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SimplyCast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.callfire.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CallFire<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dialogtech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DialogTech<\/a> if you want to review your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, record your message. If you\u2019re looking to send a strong message that will bring you return calls, here are some things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be clear and concise.<\/li><li>Leave just your name and phone number. An email address or further information will create confusion, and people aren\u2019t likely to respond to you in that way.<\/li><li>Be enthusiastic as you speak about the service or special offer.<\/li><li>Make the message short, ideally less than 200 words.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t make claims that you can\u2019t back up (i.e. claiming leadership in an industry unless it\u2019s been documented by a reputable source).<\/li><li>Leave a strong and compelling call to action that will prompt people to return your call.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no perfect message, but these tips can help set you apart from the competitors. Make sure it\u2019s warm, friendly, and above all, accurately represents the best parts of your service. Voice broadcasting is a powerful tool for real&nbsp;estate agents, and it\u2019s not as costly as some of the other measures out there. Agents&nbsp;find strong leads through this method all the time, and you can too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Do you use this technology to help run your business?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Let me know with a comment!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crafting a compelling voice broadcast can help you reach multiple customers and answer frequently asked questions for new clients.
