There are plenty of ways to assign leads to agents, from manually emailing them to creating an algorithm to assign leads to the most compatible broker. ","Pros – There are no surprises with this method, since it is inherently fair. Everyone will receive the exact same amount of leads, and because the workload is shared evenly, response rates should be uniform and done in a timely manner.","Cons – This method is easy, but it may not be the most effective lead assigning strategy. Round robin doesn’t take into account the availability, performance, or the specializations of each broker on the team. This method doesn’t optimize for conversion.

The thing to remember is that the information can only be useful if you can pull it up when you need it, and if you effectively nurture those leads to fruition. ","Lead nurturing is an exercise in patience. Most research shows that converting a lead requires at minimum 5 “touches.” Considering the nature of real estate —the fact that transactions are quite rare for the average person— it stands to reason that moving from lead to sale can take considerably longer. It all depends on the lead’s situation when initial contact occurs.","Past customers are our best source of referrals as well, so staying in touch after the sale is just as important. Occasional contact with some morsel of relevant information is often all it takes to keep your name in a client’s mind.
