Updated Market Stats and Response Time
Count the Passes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo&feature=player_embedded
…
What does this mean?…half of the people who watched the video and counted the passes missed the gorilla.
It was as though the gorilla was invisible. This experiment reveals two things: that we are missing a lot of what goes on around us, and that we have no idea that we are missing so much.
Applying this to business:
If you are doing things one way and focused on that only, chances are that you are missing a lot of what is going on around you…
…and you may not even be aware of what you are missing.
Research has shown that HALF the people who make an online inquiry on a real estate listing WILL BUY in the next 12-18 months. But only 15% close in the next 90 days. That means to be successful meeting the needs of online real estate consumers, real estate agents MUST FOLLOW UP
Leads or Clients?
Response time
They should answer their phone or e-mail when a customer contacts them — or at least reply within a half hour or less. Anything else is unacceptable. With all of the technology available today, they can react quickly, no matter where they are or what they are doing. This is true especially when a prospective buyer or
seller is making the first call to an agent. -http://www.realestateproarticles.com/Art/1802/274/Top-10-What-Consumers-Expect-from-a-Real-Estate-Agent.html
Follow up must be FAST...45% of consumers expect a personal response (not an auto-responder) within 30 minutes of making an inquiry. Research shows the odds of them becoming your client are 21 times greater if the agent contacts the consumer within FIVE minutes of their online inquiry. -
Research suggests…That response time to leads should be even faster
than 30 minutes…
