Being out in the community and making yourself well known and well thought of.  There is a company in Los Angeles, that insists that their agents increase their sphere of influence and keep meeting people.  In their first year, they sold over 6 billion...A

Direct mail (give them a reason to call you), and calling people.

Connecting with past clients and people on my current contact list always produces results.

Personal appearnaces, being out and about and greeting my fellow man

Building relationships, getting to know people & their businesses, keeping in touch, and helping them when I'm able.

FSBO's or Expireds

Calling past clients.

Calling clients and colleagues.

Speaking at seminars.

Face to face!

Be in front of a person.  If they like yoyu the relationship can start.

In the past two years, it's been mailing a few hundred postcards to a directed sphere - with market stats just for that area.  No bragging about myself - just offering pertinent info.

They all work,

They don't work for everybody.

For those agents who have spent the time and energy to identify:

1. The conversation the citizen is having with themselves

2. The solution the agent has related to that conversation.

The challenge then becomes creating the opportunity to present it. 

IF the agent has no substance and has no engagement skill, their option is simply playing the numbers and spending money on massive marketing.

The prepared agent will ask, "Where can I meet people with real estate on their mind, engage in their conversation and present my solution?"

Open house seems a great option and costs little.

Adwords are great for getting the message based on behavior.

FB ads for presenting the message based on interests.

Pintrest for those exhibiting a passion.

Now, what do you have the most of, time or money?

For a more general view of this concept read my blog titled 'Getting Buyer Leads." Warning, it is little to do with getting buyer leads.

Very specific newsletters to targeted neighborhoods.

Talking to people in person or online.  Good luck.

Charlie Harrison -  no brainer - call your sphere and ask for referrals! (Learn it Buffini & Company way...)

Hand writing personal notes to sphere...

Calling past clients, or at least emailing to catch up.

Going out and engaging with people. 

Being out and meeting people.  Whether that's going to events, hosting mixers, door knocking, open houses... is up to you.

The phone is our friend and gives the best return on our business.

For me it is conncecting with realtors and calling past clients and prospects!

I don't provide such proprietary information on a publicly viewable website.

Content is king - always!

But, it depends on the methods you employ - the most profitable are the ones that work best for you

Face-to-face contacts!

A combination of direct mail and face to face!

social media and on the phones

That would be writing my blog. Outside of referrals, my blog attracts more new customers than any other source

Richard Weeks nailed this one!

I work on generating repeat and referral business from my data base of past clients.

Face to face contacts.

The thread that runs through all these answers is to get in front of, face-to-face with, people. 

Since this is the year of the Millenials I would say doing more social media posts.

Introducing myself as "The Neighborhood Realtor." It adds a personal touch. Cold Calls. Direct Mailings.

Breaking bread/coffee with A+ & A clients & Networking Partners, client appreciation parties, one on ones, calls, notes & pop-bys.

Talking to people face to face and online. Doing webinars. Blogging, blogging, and blogging some more. CRM drip emails , direct mail and expired listing marketing. It is really a combo of all of the above. 

It depends
