Real estate is a people business.  Be real. Be honest. Be genuine. Provide exceptional service. Stay in touch with clients.  This will help with referrals from clients and other agents.  That is a great resource for new business.

One item I would do is to verify if you're receiving any of those leads to y'all pipeline, by checking y'all SPAM / Junk folder daily!

Like the old days (and still today) when you did a mass mailing you would include your own address to make sure the USPS is doing their job... LOL

Build relationships with your clients. Do your best job each and every time, one transaction at a time . . . it is never an instant or 'overnight success' but a slow-build . . .

I have had so many repeat clients that I barely take new ones! 

Attend civic events Ed Hodkinson and shake a lot of hands. You don't need to be part of the group putting on the event, just be there. If you are a man of faith (as I am) be visible at worship BUT don't sell there. I was the only Realtor in a large church and people knew I was the church Realtor even though I never talked shop unless specifically asked.

5 Actions to Fill Your Pipeline For a Robust Spring  

I farm my data base like crazy and touch it at least 40 times a year. And, of course, the data base starts from clients to whom you've given "kick a$$" service.

Put people first. Follow up and through. Be diligent and forthright. Use good communication at all times. Be consistent, grateful and sincere in all efforts.

Rinse and re-peat often! 💦

Carol Williams has you covered on this one. I'd say be seen and known

When you consider that there is no "off" switch on your license, that means you are "on" wherever you go. First impression, and you have a ten, opens the mind & heart of others. All you have to do is enter in. Be aware of the "seeding" process which means the time for it to take root & produce. 

Ed when I started in this business I already had a SOI in a similar business and I continued touching out to them - often. I also was very active in the Chamber of Commerce.  Then I grew another network group from our church base and it was a big hit for well over 25 years.  Many of us still get together to this day.  In fact one couple is coming for dinner tonight!  Building mutually trusting relationships is KEY.  BE the one they call whenever they think of real estate. You will soon be working with referrals almost completely.  Good luck to you!

Get in front of as many people as possible.  Build a system to fill the pipeline.

Hi Ed Hodkinson 

     Most people know 3 or 4 or more Realtors.  When it comes time to buy or sell, YOUR name needs to come to their mind.  

  Drip campaigns (just be careful they don't appear cut and paste or spammish), regular mailings (trade postcards or handwritten note cards), invite them to coffee or lunch every quarter, a phone call now and then.     When you get a large number of people in your pipeline (too many to take to coffee one-on-one), you can have a "client appreciation dinner" at a restaurant.  

    You will find your own style (lots of good tips on this page from the other commenters).  The key is to stay front and center with your SOI!

Do what Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist suggested, socialize as much as possible and maintain communication. Good luck!

Keep your social media presence fresh.

Call your SOI.

Utilize your CRM

Talk to people - EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. OF. THE. WEEK! Talk to your sphere, those at Open Houses you host, networking events, volunteering events...

Good luck, Ed!

My broker does that for me.  Everyone in our office participates in her lead generation.

Staying in touch with and servicing sold clients as they will refer you new clients, joining networking groups, meetups and social groups with common interests like Golf or Hiking.

Pipeline for what?

AR is not like FB, no one is going to answer you immediately. Duplicate questions?
