Add $60,000 to Your Income This Year With $200 Worth of Business Cards!

If you do absolutely nothing else this week....get rid of 50 business cards. Find at least 10 people that you don't know, every day for 5 days, and talk to them about real estate. It's not as scary as you might think. Everyone wants to talk about real estate. Ask if they are thinking of buying or selling, or if they know of anyone who is. Build rapport. Leave a great impression. Make this exercise top priority. No excuses! Real estate is a numbers game. This is the key to success.

Knock some doors, network in the mall, attend a local event. Hand out cards to the people you do business with..the grocery store staff, your dry-cleaner, your child's teacher. Hold an open house, or two, or three. By the end of the week you'll be getting good at it.

Do it again next week. And the week after. And the week after. Attend business networking sessions. Join sports teams, charitable organizations, community business associations. Sponsor events that you can attend. Participate in every trade show possible.

If you make it your top priority every day to hand out 10 business cards, you will find new customers and your income will grow. For sure. If you do this consistently you will become a lead generation expert.
By the end of each year you will have met and talked to 2500 people. The average contacts to appointment ratio is 100 to 1. That translates into 25 appointments with buyers or sellers. Taking into consideration that from those appointments some may not end up buying or selling through you, even if half of them do, you should end up with at least 12 sales from those 25 appointments. At an average commission of $5000 you've made $60,000 in sales commissions in one year.

Now as you continue to hand out 10 business cards every day, you also have 12 happy clients working for you, referring you to people they know, and 2500 people with whom you have left a good impression, who may call you for your services in the future. Happy selling!
