Who doesn’t want to have leads filling their pipeline while they sleep? When you automate your lead generation, not only can it help you scale your real estate business, it can quite literally help you drive leads into your pipeline with minimal time consumed.
From having an email signup on your website to making sure you’re keeping your data clean, here are a few ways that you can automate your lead generation efforts for maximum returns.

Once you capture leads via your email signup, be sure to have an automatic lead nurture program take over. This ensures that you’re nurturing prospects —even when you’re busy.

If you’re in the commercial real estate space, for example, perhaps you send a survey to your prospects asking if their still in the market for “XYZ” … the responses will help you better segment your CRM, and you’ll have created a new touch point that may inspire activity from previously stale leads.

If you hold any open houses or property tours —and what real estate agent doesn’t— create a series of automated emails that deploy after the event. This is a great way to keep in contact with your new leads and to provide them with valuable information pertaining to the event or property.
Because you’ll automate these emails to continue over a period of time, you’ll not only look like your follow-up game is on point —you’ll also be starting conversations.
