As the CEO, Chief Everything Officer, of your real estate business, the phrase "If it is to be, it's up to me" rings true every day. Your role spans everything from prospecting and presentations to marketing, negotiations, business planning, and follow-up. You're working long hours, juggling back-to-back appointments, and often feeling like there's never enough time to focus on the activities that secure your future—like building a steady, predictable pipeline of buyers and sellers.
The reality is that lead generation must be a nonstop effort—24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. But when you're constantly putting out fires and navigating the demands of your business, it's easy for prospecting to slip down the priority list. "I'll get to it tomorrow" turns into next week... and then next month. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to regain momentum.
Procrastination is the enemy of progress, especially in prospecting. Once you understand that consistent lead generation is the lifeblood of your business, it must become non-negotiable. If nothing else gets done today, your prospecting will. Identify the most productive time of day for you, block it on your calendar, and protect it fiercely. Use this dedicated time for personal outreach, especially phone calls, to your high-value contacts: past clients, repeat clients, and those who have referred you business.
Remember, it costs five to seven times more to attract a new customer than it does to retain an existing one. Staying in front of your sphere through consistent, meaningful communication is one of the smartest business strategies you can deploy. A well-rounded, multi-channel plan, anchored by an email newsletter and active social media presence, keeps your name top of mind and reinforces your value as their go-to real estate professional.
But you don't have to do it all alone.
InTouch Systems is designed to help you stay connected with your sphere automatically and professionally. Our service supplements your personal outreach with high-quality content marketing across email and social platforms so even when you're busy closing deals, your brand stays visible, consistent, and top of mind. You'll never have to worry whether your clients are hearing from you...they will be.
The key is consistency. If your name isn't the one that comes to mind when someone thinks "REALTOR®," it's likely someone else's will. Don't let a lack of time cost you relationships, referrals, and repeat business. Commit to a lead generation plan that works even when you're too busy to work it yourself. And let InTouch Systems help make sure your message is always reaching the people who matter most.
