ABOUT THIS EPISODE
“Why would someone in my database reach out to me in this market, and what would they get if they did?” On day three of Pipeline vs. Pile Week, James Shaw uses Shift pages 57 to 59 and 67 to explain that knowing where your leads come from isn’t the same as knowing how to build a lead gen program. Page 58 says your message must match your market: your lead gen message has to match the motivation of buyers and sellers right now, because that’s what causes motivated people to raise their hand. Page 67 adds that when leads get scarcer, prospecting has to go up. He also points agents to the lead source list on Shift page 65 to find their top five sources before doubling down. If your outreach feels like it isn’t landing, start with the message.
