Navigating the world of lead acquisition can be a bit like a rollercoaster ride, especially when you realize that costs can swing wildly from industry to industry. In some sectors, you might be looking at spending anywhere from $5 to $500 per lead. Generating high-quality leads is one of the most difficult aspects of the sales process, especially in real estate when the cost of a new, high-quality lead can 6-7 times more expensive than generating business from old clients.
Did you know that 38% of homebuyers used an agent who was personally recommended to them by a friend, neighbor, or family member? That's right, when it comes to real estate, personal recommendations carry significant weight. When buyers are ready to start a transaction, they prefer to get a recommendation from someone they trust.
On the sellers' side, things are even more interesting. Generating real estate seller leads is a different ball game because sellers often have previous experience with an agent. That’s why 63% of sellers find their agent from a previous transaction or a referral.
Within the last 12 months, 49% of agents have spent up to $250 monthly on lead generation according to Fit Small Business. Per lead, it ranges from $20 to $60, and not all are qualified. It's clear we need some more budget-friendly ways to approach this, and that's where BizGift comes in, taking your cost to as low as $10 per lead! Exciting, right?
