Lead Generation for new agents

[Wyatt Pearson]

Starting out as a new agent here in the Central Valley, what do I need to be doing for lead generation? How is it possible to gain credibility- being that I don't have any sells... yet.

Congrats @Wyatt Pearson! I've been there and it can feel overwhelming...but although things may start slow, they can also pick up very fast.....

1. Call all your friends and family (your SOI -sphere of influence) - be sure to tell them that you're now a realtor and excited about it. Biggest lead gen failure of most agents is to NOT really work with their SOI.

2. There are 100 more great things you could do for lead generation - but why not grab a copy of "The Millionaire Real Estate Agent" by Gary Keller and read through that? Don't be put off by the title. This book is not a gimmick. It's loaded with good information on how to move from where you are right now....to a more solid place, including in the area of lead generation.

Best wishes!

I joined a team for this reason.

Great question! This is a challenge for ALL new agents - you are not alone.

Focus on your direct sphere of influence (e.g. friends, family, co-workers, etc). Make sure EVERYONE knows you got your license and what areas of real estate sales you focus on (e.g. buyer's agent, seller's agent, investment, etc). Get your first couple of deals through this network and get some reps under your belt.

You should also consider joining the BEST team in your market that focuses on the types of sales you want to focus on. The first 6-12 months WILL be a grind but that time is what separates the agents that quit and the ones that become successful over multiple years.

Good luck!
