This post revolves around three different kinds of marketing, specifically in real estate. It's important for you to embrace these because it's kind of like embracing different kinds of weather. It's like that kind of weather is happening, there's nothing I can do about it, so I really need to just understand how to prepare for it, how to weather the storm, or how to endure it, or go with the flow and use the momentum of that particular kind of marketing so that you can win.

Agent Leads University: Referral Marketing

Depending on the kind of marketing you're doing, if you're utilizing Facebook advertising, that's one of those marketing styles I'm about to talk to you about. There are three kinds. Number one, you have what I call network based marketing or referral marketing. Sometimes that can happen on a larger level, but you might know this as referral marketing or warm market marketing or getting people who already know you or second degree relationships, third degree relationships, kind of that local word of mouth marketing.

There's a lot of ROI there but it's very small scale. You can't scale your income and your revenue that way. You'll pretty much always be stuck at $75,000, $85,000 a year if you get to that spot using just referral marketing. I mean there's obviously the top 5% of agents who use referral marketing who earn more than that, but I'm just saying on average the US realtor is going to cap out, there's a glass ceiling on referral based marketing.

Agent Leads University: Search Marketing

Then you have search marketing. Now the thing about referral and search is that they both have intent. Intent is a massive psychological power that you can bend and use to your will and in your favor. You just don't get to create intent. That's probably the biggest lesson of this coaching call, you don't get to originate the intent. You simply try to bend it and defer it and utilize it and control it to your will. It's kind of like Star Wars and the Force, just using the Force, using the intent of others so that you can be there when they're ready to buy or sell a home.

What is Search Intent?

Search intent is when I go to Google and type in homes for sale in Dallas, Texas, homes for sale in Kauai, homes for sale in Portland, Oregon, and I have that search intent. I've already prospected myself. I've already warmed myself up. I've already gone to the keyboard several times and now I'm searching for the keywords that represent the words in my brain. That's called search intent. You being a real estate agent can market in the search intent realm.

The problem with that is that for example using Google ... Or the limitation, is not necessarily a problem, the limitation is that it's more scalable than referral marketing but it still has a limit because only a certain number of people are going to search that keyword phrase each month, whatever key phrase you're targeting or you're wanting to be first in line for. But if some one's, if 800 people a month are searching homes for sale in Denver, Colorado, or whatever that might be for you, then if you're standing in line, if you're the ad that pops up, hey, that's great, you actually ... Those ads have really good ROI.

The difference is Google is an auction, just like everything else, and there's only a few places at the top and a few places at the bottom that those ads can show up. And you're competing with the deep pockets of Zillow and realtor.com and all the other big platforms who are leveraging and basically siphoning that search intent traffic into their world so that they can monetize that through Zillow contracts.

If you ever wanted to know how Zillow makes their money it's because they're just basically holding hostage the traffic and the eyeballs, the impressions that they are garnering through Google, bottom line. If you ever just want to be really smart and beat Zillow at their own game, outbid them on a keyword auction using Google AdWords. At the same time though it still has a limit to scalability and you're going to have to leverage a lot of spend in order to compete with them in search intent.

Even when I go to Zillow, even if you have a Zillow contract, and give them credit, they took over the hearts and minds of the people of this country and now most people will start their online search with their Zillow app on their phone, they're driving around on a weekend afternoon. Zillow then obviously has the contracts and premier agents and stuff like that, and they're, again, siphoning that traffic or that lead generation and volume over to their contracted members.
​
Agent Leads University: Disruption Marketing

Then you have Facebook advertising that is found in the disruptive market. You've got referral based marketing, you got search intent marketing, and you've got disruption marketing. Now disruption marketing is you running out into the middle of the street when someone's passing by and waving your hands at them. They didn't go to Facebook looking for a home necessarily. But their demographic, their geographic, their targeted attributes that you can access only through Facebook's power editor of Facebook ads manager makes them very close to the pin and possibly in the ball park of needing a home, likely to sell, things like that. That's the power of Facebook.

So you're doing two things at once with disruption marketing. This is why I love it so much and why so many people have so much success doing this, is that it's far less expensive than Zillow leads and Google AdWords, it's far more scalable than referral marketing because only people who are your mom and daddy and your cousins and friends at work and friends of friends are the people that know about you, and again, that at some point runs out. Referral with disruption marketing layered on top of it, that is the secret sauce because with disruption marketing like Facebook and Instagram even, you're building your brand as well.

Moving to a Warm Lead

You may have been running your ads for 10 days, 7 days, 5 days, 30 days, 365 days. You can also be retargeting the people who've been clicking, sharing, liking, watching your ad, and they're actually now warmer than they were cold. If you missed a previous coaching call that I did, I talked about cold traffic and warm traffic and hot traffic. Well Facebook traffic, when you first introduce your ads and your campaigns, it's cold traffic, they don't know who you are, and that's great because you can only scale and build larger businesses off of cold traffic. Then once you show your ad and you interact with them and maybe even generate a lead, you move them into warmer waters. It doesn't mean they're ready to sign a contract with you. It doesn't mean that they have a listing agreement in their hands. It means that they represent a far warmer prospect than you had before you launched your Facebook ad and far less expensive.

Guess what? Now you have the law of large numbers that you're leveraging rather than waiting on a referral lead or a search intent lead that is a lay down lead is what you're probably hoping and wishing for, but at the end of the day it's lay down leads are few and far between. If you've been in the industry a long time, there was an era in which you received lay down leads, and that era unfortunately is over. If you are in the modern age of real estate agency, you understand that disruption marketing has to happen because the world and our country and our culture is on social media. They're on Facebook and Instagram more than they are searching for certain keywords per month. They are on social media more so than they know people who know you that's going to make them want to call you as a referral.

Ultimately you have to master the art of disruptive marketing and stay in it for the long game and have awesome patience because it's not a silver bullet, it's not a rainbow chasing gimmick, it's something that's going to build your brand and make you more recognizable so that when your ad shows up for the fifth time, the sixth time, the seventh time, the eighth time, the 12th time, you've got people's eyeballs. In any kind of marketing, follow up marketing or even traditional broadcast media, people don't even start paying attention to you that matter until like the eighth time. The eighth time they see your ad.

So you've got to understand that you got to play the law of large numbers and you've got to fish in the deeper sea in the ocean where the fish have no idea who you are. If you're the fisherman, you don't need to be fishing in the gold fish bowl, which is the referral marketing, and then the search intent bowl is more like the pond or the lake. The ocean where the fish are or the whales are with the big fish with the most fish and the most growth capacity is in disruption marketing. That's a huge thing.

It doesn't mean that any of them necessarily need to be axed or removed from your strategy. As a matter of fact, I would be super impressed with any agent that's leveraging both or two of the three marketing strategies or types of marketing that I just laid out. I'd be super impressed if you are doing two of those at capacity. If you're doing all three of those at capacity, you probably are way ahead of me and already understand the point of my video, which is this: You have to understand and set your expectations correctly around the kind of marketing that you're doing, and you have to understand why you're doing the kind of marketing that you're doing.

Disruption marketing has a long term brand and lead generation value where you can grow your business larger than ever. Search intent is a great place if you have deep pockets to compete with Zillow and the other big spenders per click on a Google ad. And referral marketing is great low hanging fruit, take them when you can get them, but don't sit around and wait on them or you'll find yourself in a painful position and your GCI is not going to be wherever it needs to be.

Wanted to talk real quick about something that's happening in our industry that's not talked about a whole lot and very few people in the industry have even identified, which is, well, two things. The two problems are that agents are not being equipped to do the two things they need to be able to do best. If you think back, when you went and you received your license, you went through the whole process of becoming a real estate agent, or a broker. You were basically taught not to get sued. I know that that's not a thorough conclusion of what happens, but for the most part, the emphasis is we live in a litigious world where a lot of people get their feathers ruffled and they sue you. They can sue you or the broker you worked for or aligned with.

The process of becoming a licensed real estate agent is actually not great at equipping you to do what it takes to feed your family and go to the next level as a top producer. I wanna help you make six digits. The industry average income for an agent, something like 38,000 or 39,000 dollars a year. To me, that's not okay. There's nothing wrong with that income level, I get it. But I guarantee you, it's not the reason why you became a real estate agent. You became a real estate agent for different reasons, everyone has their own reasons. You might be trying to supplement income, you might be trying to be a six or seven figure producer, you may wanna buy Maserati's, you may wanna go on great vacations, you may wanna just have more freedom and entrepreneurial flexibility in your life. And all those things are real. You may have elderly parents that you need to care for, you may need to or want to invest in real estate, you may wanna have just discretionary income that you can do whatever the heck you want.

The First Way that the Real Estate Industry is Failing You
​
You want freedom, time and space. In the industry, if you are one of those agents that's just relying on the industry to equip you and do what you need them to do, then I hope that you use this as a wake up call, because the industry is not gonna serve you that well. It's just not set up for your success. Now, the reason why is because it's not giving you those two things I was telling you about. Number ONE: it's not teaching you the skill of lead generation, it's not allowing you to acquire the skill or the system, ecosystem, whatever you wanna call it. I call it lead generation marketing funnels. Do you have a marketing funnel in place that works when you're asleep? The industry simply doesn't show you how to do that, when you take your 55 hour class or course, and you know that.

The Second Way the Real Estate Industry is Failing You

Number two: the industry's not setting agents up to win at the follow up game. The industry is leaving agents high and dry on the two most important things, which is lead generation and follow up execution strategy and systems. Now, there's a lot of shiny objects and widgets and technologies and CRMs out there that are aiding agents when it comes to follow up.

At the end of the day, like I said, the industry's simply not preparing you as an agent to do the two most important things in your job role. I would say that that's why we created Agent Leads University, it's why we have a team of digital marketers, it's why I wake up every morning so that we can help agents and brokers across the country predictably close more deals by spending intelligent advertising dollars on Facebook advertising.

If you're not utilizing social media to do lead generation appropriately, then you're exactly where the industry left you on the curb. If you're not using automation tools, if you're not following up five to 12 times with every single lead that comes in to your marketing funnel, your sales pipeline, you're leaving 80% of sales that you could have, listing appointments, commission checks, closing table, experiences, you're leaving them on the table. And it's not necessarily your fault, although it is your responsibility to rectify that.

"Go get em' tiger"

Don't rely on the industry to position you to win. We all know the reality is that the broker or the owner is giving you the T-shirt, giving you the signs and saying, "Go get 'em tiger." If the reality is that we live in "go get 'em tiger" industry, then you've got to equip yourself and take responsibility for your two most important things. Lead generation, follow up, okay? Lead generation, follow up.

Guys, it's a game of numbers. The law of large numbers is a very powerful thing. You can not control the numbers though if you don't know how to get attention in your farm, in your market area. If you're on a farming campaign, if you're on a crusade to form a zip code and you're not running Facebook ads intelligently with proven ad copy messaging, if you don't know how to get your message into your marketplace, then there's no way that you're getting the attention necessary and there's no way you're able to get more commission checks.

See, this is an egg before the chicken industry. You have to generate leads, you have to turn them into prospects, you have to take prospects and turn them into clients, customers, listings, buyers, whatever it is, whatever your strategy is.

Agent Leads University: How We Can Help!

Please, please, please don't let the industry leave you handcuffed, handicapped on the curbside, and you're just waiting on the lay down leads to show up and hand you their listing appointment, to hand you the keys to their house and signing a buyer's agency agreement. It's just not gonna do that, you have to acquire these two things, leads and a follow up system. If you're watching this video still, would love to partner with you, that's what we do at Agent Leads University. We equip you to do the two most important things a real estate agent needs to do that the industry is not equipping them to do. If you need more leads, go to agentleads.co/commissions. If you've never talked to me on the phone, if you've never signed up for a breakthrough strategy call with us, please do that, because there's a simple framework. There is a simple framework that is going to give you success if you're willing to execute it.

There's no silver bullets in this industry. There's no one who's gonna do it for you better than you can do it. Now, if you're watching this, and you're doing six figures or seven figures and you've got 10, 15, 25 agents on your team, then maybe you need someone to do it for you and we can talk about that as well. But for the vast majority of the people watching this, it's time for you to buckle up and acquire two of the most important skills on the planet. Lead generation and follow up.

Do it now, go to https://agentleads.co/commissions, sign up, book a call to breakthrough session. We call it breakthrough for a very real reason, and I want you to have it!

Let’s take just a couple of minutes and talk about budgeting and how that affects your Facebook ad sets and your total campaign productivity, getting leads, et cetera. I want to talk about specifically the Facebook algorithm. First of all, I've covered this in other areas, but basically, the Facebook artificial intelligence is what really controls the destiny of all of our ads, all of our campaigns, and how productive they are at generating leads. There's a machine-learning element that goes into all this. It's kind of like the master and the hunting dog. The hunting dog is the Facebook algorithm, and the master is Facebook corporate. Some of the rules that come into play and how that affects your daily budget ... Because the daily budget is the amount of money that you tell the Facebook algorithm, hey, you're allowed to spend $10 a day, or $100 a day, or whatever you have ad budget set on.

You don't need to go from $10 a day to $50 a day. Don't go from $20 a day to $40 a day. Don't even jump from 5 to 20. Best practice is make a 10 to 15 percent increase per day when you have an ad set that's producing leads. Okay? That's key. If you're not getting leads, don't just gas the budget. It's not producing leads more than likely for other reasons. I will say, that if you're working on a 5 or a 10 dollar a day budget at first, it is possible that your market may command a higher cost per lead. If you only have a $5 daily budget, but maybe the market wants $9.25 before it gives you a lead, then you can see that it might take several days to aggregate that kind of deliverability based on a $5 a day budget.

Facebook Ad Budget: The Balancing Act

There's some testing and some balancing that you need to do when it comes to your budget, but the biggest thing is, don't flood the engine by trying to jump from $20 to $100 like that. Because, what happens is, when you upload the change, when you hit the green button, and you've just quadrupled your ad budget or something, the Facebook algorithm goes, "Whoa! What are we doing here? I've been optimizing to deliver your ads this way, and now you're wanting to go over here, so I've gotta go find more people in this potential reach. I've been working in this little intrinsic circle in your entire ad set, and now you want me to go do this, but there's thousands of other advertisers that are competing for the attention of the people you're targeting. Now I've got to go reprioritize, and then it might be ..." You can really take a step backward if you try to increase budget too fast.

Facebook Ad Budget: Percent Increases

So, to keep it really simple, two best practices. Increase your daily budget by 10 to 15 percent max, and if you've got a campaign that's really producing, and that's fantastic, and you're just like, "Hey, I want to scale this." Simply duplicate it. If you don't want to wait several days for the 10 percent to catch up to where you want to be, simply duplicate the ad while it's still active. Now you've got a clone. Go into the duplication, go into the clone, and set the original budget of that new ad set at the budget that you want it to be at, and launch it. Then, after it's launched, maybe give it another 30 minutes or so, and then turn off the current campaign that's producing or the current ad set. Not the campaign, the actual ad set that was producing, because obviously, you don't want duplication.

Facebook Ad Budget: Scaling 

The cloning and the duplication is how you can scale fast in a targeting area that you know is working. Just make sure that you don't go above 10 or 15 percent a day, though if you're trying to do it gradually, which is the way I actually recommend it. I would not just duplicate and launch a $250 ad set per day. Slowly climb and from there, you'll get better results.

​Real estate Instagram strategies are fantastically affective when farming and generating brand awareness as an agent. Did you know that agents can generate leads, sales, and referrals from Instagram too? In this post, I’ll show you how to use Instagram for real estate.

Instagram is a social media platform with over 500 million monthly users that has continued to grow exponentially since its launch in 2010. Instagram proves to be very beneficial to real estate agents due to its intense visual aspects. In an industry that is highly visually focused (real estate) it appeals to the potential buyer because they are able to see the work you have previously done and projects you are currently working on. It is a portfolio of sorts and can play well into giving you leads.

Five reasons why Instagram is a good platform for real estate lead generation:

1. You are not competing with Zillow or Realtor.com
2. You can use hashtags to increase the traffic viewing your account
3. You can post good quality photos editing them right there in the app
4. You have direct engagement with people who follow you and you know who likes your posts so you can direct message them.
5. On average, Instagram has over 10x more engagement than Facebook

REAL ESTATE INSTAGRAM: THE BASICS
The first step in this instagram endeavour is actually creating the account. If you already have an instagram account be sure to create another one specifically for your business. You do not need to be posting pictures of your dogs, kids, or dinners on the same account that you are trying to close deals on. Keep it professional. This professionalism goes along with creating the username for your account. The username should be something that is easy to understand with your name in it but also identifies you as a realtor. It is so important to post your instagram account’s link on other channels because that will link all your content. This is something we like to call “cross-pollination” because you are bringing all your channels (linkedin, facebook, your website) and mixing them together!

REAL ESTATE INSTAGRAM: THE CONTENT
This is THE most important part about the instagram game. Your content is, as I said earlier, a portfolio. It is a window into your company, your day and your goals. If done right it can build your credibility and make you a desireable realtor. Post pictures of events, charity interactions, past sales you have made, and properties you have up your sleeve. Posting videos is also a good idea when on instagram. You can even do a full house showing on instagram. It is such a simple way to do a virtual tour and receive direct feedback on it. Make sure you are tagging locations and people to raise activity and awareness. Hashtags are ok in moderation but as a rule of thumb you should use no more than 7.
​
REAL ESTATE INSTAGRAM: THE CONTENT SCHEDULE
Once you get acclimated to instagram it is important to be consistent with your instagram posts. Creating a schedule is something that we as a company have to do for our instagram posts (you can check us out at @agentleads.co). By creating a schedule of when you will post or what you will post it can help keep you accountable but also help your brand stay relevant.

REAL ESTATE INSTAGRAM: HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
​Step #1: Convert Your Account
When you convert your account over to a business profile, you’ll have access to all of the valuable data. This includes your traffic, charts, and graphs! It even includes your demographic data, which is essential to getting a better understanding of your current client and narrowing your future marketing efforts better.

Step #2: Add Keywords To Your Name
Where are you located? What are your real estate strengths? What are you best known for? Add 1-2 keywords after your name on Instagram in order to make your profile more searchable – Instagram is a social media platform, but it’s also a search engine.

Step #3: Write a Good Bio
Write a brief bio that says how you help people and how to contact you. Cater your bio to your clients and future clients. Make sure you communicate that you are here to help them find their dream home.

Step #4: Professional Profile Picture
No one is going to feel a deep personal connection to an old listing photo or business logo as your profile picture. Real estate is a personal business because you are working with someone on selling their home or buying a new one. People want to feel comfortable with you throughout the process. So post a current headshot that is professional, but also friendly. It will give people a glimpse of who you really are as a person.
​
REAL ESTATE INSTAGRAM: HOW TO STAND OUT IN THE INSTAGRAM FEED
Post When People Are Watching:
Once you make the switch. from a personal account to a business account, Instagram will give you tons of demographic data about your followers, including when they are most active on the platform. 

Use Good Fonts, Colors, and Photos:
You want your posts to be eye-catching and bold. Keep the quality of your photos professional and do not use too many outlandish filters on them. Make your photos unique so that past clients, future clients, and referring agents remember them. Also, incorporate color on your Instagram page and in your logo so that people recognize it. 

Use Real-Estate Hashtags To Get Discovered:
Instagram users will search hashtags. As I said earlier, hashtags are a great way to bring awareness to your Instagram account. 

Here are examples of most searched Instagram hashtags:
#YourCity
#YourCityRealEstate
#YourCityRealtor
#YourCityOpenHouse
Lastly, make sure you tag the businesses or people associated in the post. This makes your network larger because other people will see that you tagged them in a post and be able to find your account faster.

REAL ESTATE INSTAGRAM: THE ULTIMATE WAY TO GET LEADS
While organic reach on Instagram is great at getting traffic and growing if you really want to understand how Instagram works you need to "pay to play". It is just like its sister account Facebook. If you want to generate the most leads you need to get your ads on Instagram.

Hey, Josh Rhodes here, Agent Leads University. I wanted to talk to you just a second about how thousands of real estate agents across the country who are top producers now are absolutely crushing it using Facebook advertising.

Now, I know you may have already been active on Facebook before or maybe you're just like, "Man, I wish I could make it work, but it just doesn't seem like it's for me."

​Learn more about Agent Leads University here.

Hey, Josh Rhodes here with Agent Leads University, and I want to tell you why home value ads don't work and they haven't been working for years. Now, listen closely. We talked to hundreds of realtors every week about Agent Leads University. One of the common patterns we hear is, "Well, I had a homes value ad running and it's just not working." Or, we tell them home value ads don't work and they're like, "Well, why?" Here's what we say. First of all, think about it. Providing the value of a home has absolutely nothing to do with getting the result that your customer or prospect wants which is selling their home or getting results or, more than anything, the element of speed. The only thing that the customer wants from us real estate pros these days are results and speed therein.

    Home value ads fundamentally is simply just a data exchange and, at the end of the day, Zillow and Trulia had beat you to the punch because that was their strategy. They said, "Let's build a massive gravitational pull around our website. Let's get all of the eyeball traffic." They're now providing that. Any consumer can get their home value at the click of a mouse on a million different websites. There's nothing unique about it. But, what you need to concentrate on is how you can uniquely provide them information and service that allows you to get them results fast, and that's really the principal mindset shift that has to go into it and it's the reason why home value ads aren't getting the individual producer, or the team leaders, or the brokers the results that they want because it's fundamentally a flawed way of thinking.

    What we're looking at here is a typical real estate website produced by our friends at Real Geeks and it's being leveraged by ... We'll keep the identities of the innocent safe. This is another reason why home value ads and many of your paid ads aren't working. First of all is I call this the Houdini effect. The customer, the web surfer, the prospect, the would be lead has a Houdini complex which means they're looking for escape patches. They're always looking to get out of a decision. We are guilty of this. We don't want to make a decision. We're trying to find a way out. On a page such as this where there's so many distractions, and I'm talking about when you're paying money for traffic online and traffic is the lifeblood of your lead generation ecosystem, if you have too many trapdoors and I consider trapdoors everywhere I can click and go somewhere else.

    Now, obviously, there's a purpose for all of these but when you're doing a direct response ad campaign, which is what you should be doing to generate leads such as Facebook marketing, what we teach in Agent Leads University, you have to make sure that your website is ready to funnel leads mechanically, systematically, and this example of this website is a very poor landing page for paid traffic which is what an earlier realtor that we spoke to this morning told us that they were using. First of all, they would boost the post on Facebook which boosted posts are not the way to go with Facebook ads. There's a much better way to spend your money on Facebook and create hundreds of leads a month if you do it correctly with good targeting and use of Facebook's full suite of tools that they offer us for free.

    Also, if you'll notice right here the instant home value link. Many of you are sending people to a page similar to this. Again, like I said earlier, the reason why this page doesn't work is because the psychology behind it is fundamentally flawed. You type in an address and something pops up. You hit submit. Then of course on the next page ... This is what we call a squeeze page traditionally. There are great placements for this. But, number one, someone looking for their home value is simply looking for a data exchange. Their intent may or may not be a qualified intent. Then the very next page, we're asking them for blood. We're asking them for so much data. It's a game of numbers.

    But, at the end of the day, the reason why home value ads aren't working are, A, we're sending them to the wrong landing page to begin with and, B, when we get to the landing page, the whole proposition of the home value ad is wrong. We need to be telling them and offering them something of value that allows them to get speed, access and, at the end of the day, a home sold on their behalf. That's what we talk about in Agent Leads University. We show you how to create a system that's far better than the home value ad. We teach you how to create a system that Zillow and Trulia don't want you to know about by leveraging the power of Facebook.

What's all the FUSS about Facebook™️ Ads anyway? There are two huge benefits when it comes to Facebook Ads in your real estate sales business: ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇

⭐ 1. Are you sick of those agents that EVERYONE thinks about when it comes to buying or selling homes in your market? You can't stand them, but love what they have.  Let me define what they have: BRAND GRAVITY.  

They have invested in farming and now their brand has trust and authority when it comes to top of mindedness in the market.

Facebook™️ is a pay to play platform, but if you spend your ad dollars intelligently, it is WAAAY more powerful than billboards, door hangers and post cards.

It's the new TV commercial and you can quickly accelerate your farming/brand equity at a fraction of the cost.

⭐ 2. When you run Facebook™️ Ads intelligently, you get LEADS.  Names, email addresses and phone numbers. But you have to have the right framework. Boosted posts won't do it.  

👉  Audience - proper audience targeting. Did you know that Facebook™️ has 2000 data points on each of us that are available for targeting? CRAZY! But you can under filter or over filter. Knowing how and what to target precisely is how you scale your lead generation efforts.

👉  Message - If you aren't reverse engineering a great message and offer that your potential customer ACTUALLY WANTS, then your marketing will not work.  We know exactly what the market is telling us and have dialed in perfect copywriting to insight curiosity and magnetic lead generation.

👉  Process - Knowing how to build a better mousetrap and put the puzzle pieces together is huge.  You have to have a marketing funnel process in place.  For example, if you're running a boosted post that takes you to a Zillow listing or your traditional website, your ads are dead on arrival.

You need the right blueprint to generate leads.
