An agent called me today, from Nottinghamshire.

“Help – I’ve no stock left”, she said.

“How many properties do you have fully available?” I asked.

“None”, came the reply.

That’s pretty serious. It’s like being John Lewis and having nothing to sell on your shelves. Yes, we all want property sales and lettings, but we need the properties on our books to start with.

If you’re running out of stock, what can you do? I’ll tell you what I told her – my three steps to win more instructions and boost your stock:

Firstly, make marketing your number one priority. No excuses. You need to become a lead machine, and FAST. I’ve identified seventeen different lead generation sources for agents, and there are many more creative ideas on top of those. How many do you use?

Second, get on the phone. Call up every single one of your past and current clients and ask for referrals. If you’re no good at asking, then get good! Just call them up, exchange a few niceties and then say something like, “As you probably know, we rely on word of mouth to reach the best clients in our area needing help selling or letting their properties. Who do you know who is thinking of selling or letting?” Try it, and surprise yourself.

Thirdly – and most importantly – jump on my free live training session! I’m running a free online training on Wednesday 10th June at 10am.
