HERE’S THE SUPER DUPER TOP SECRET MARKETING TECHNIQUE OF THE WEEK:
Generate Real Estate Leads Through LinkedIn Crawling
There is a cool feature on LinkedIn that is rarely used.
Have you ever gotten an email from LinkedIn with everyone who has viewed your profile in the past 7 days? You probably have. These emails go out weekly to everyone who’s signed up for Linkedin.
The best part? LinkedIn has a great target demographic.
Most of the individuals on there have professional careers and are likely home buyers and sellers.
Well, it can! I call this “LinkedIn Crawling” What is LinkedIn crawling you ask? Well it is where my computer automatically visits 400 profiles of target customers in one day. This means 400 people a day are notified that about me.
That’s 400 people that had no idea that I existed seeing my profile and maybe even my website.
That’s powerful.
But it doesn’t stop there. About 2-4% of these individuals will reach out and connect with you! I’ve seen this number get as high as 8%. The percentage really depends on the target audience you’re facing.
How do we generate real estate leads from LinkedIn crawling?
1. You need to use Google Chrome and download the extension “LinkClump”
2. You need to setup the extension to open up links in new tabs while holding the shift key
3. Head over to a LinkedIn group that has your target audience in it.
4. Go to the members section and drag your mouse over all the links while holding shift.
5. This will open up all their profiles. Now, you just have to do 10 more pages!
So what? How will this help generate leads?
Well, 400 people will see your name.
You should change your profile to invite people to connect with you. Also, I’d connect with people that just look back at your profile.
Finally, suggest getting coffee with every single person that connects with you via this method.
They already know you’re a Realtor. So just show up and have coffee with them.
You’ll add so many people to your rolodex this way!
