    STEP ONE: Send a List to the Contact Manager

    To send contacts from a list to the Contact Manager, click on your email address from the horizontal black navigational bar in the upper right-hand corner. A drop-down menu will appear. Choose “Mailing Lists.” from the menu.

    Once in your mailing list section, decide which mailing list of contacts you want to move over. This list will also still remain in the “Mailing List” section as well.

    Once you decide on your list, click the blue “Options” button for that list and choose the option “Send List to the Contact Manager” (see screenshot below).


    STEP TWO: Add Tags to Your Mailing List

    A window will pop up after you complete STEP ONE, allowing you to add tags to the list you are sending to the Contact Manager.

    You can type in one tag or multiple. There are some tags already available in the tag drop-down menu. If you don’t see a tag you want there, you can create a tag by typing it into the provided space.

    Once you are done adding tags, click the yellow “Import” button, and your contacts from this list will be imported into the Contact Manager.


    STEP THREE: View Contacts in Contact Manager

    You can now go to your Contact Manager and view contacts from this list. You will not see your list title from the mailing list section in Contact Manager, only the contacts from the list.

    To get to Contact Manager, click on your email in the upper right-hand corner of the website and choose “Contact Manager” from the drop-down menu (see screenshot below).

    Once in the Contact Manager, you can filter the contacts listed by using the “Tag Filter” located at the top center of this section to see how many tags there are with a specific tag title.

    You can also add a new contact name to your Contact Manager by clicking the yellow button that says “Add Names.” Be sure to complete the new contact’s birthday and home anniversary date if there is one.

    The “Add Names” yellow button can also be used to download your entire “contact Manager” list with tags and export it from the website.


    STEP FOUR: Send a Postcard to a Specific “Tag” of Contacts

    To send a postcard to a specific “tag” of contacts, choose your postcard from our postcard section.

    Once you are on the postcard series screen, select the blue button titled “Add List’ (see screenshot below).

    A drop-down menu will appear. Select the “Contact Manager List” and hit the “select” blue button (see screenshot below).


    STEP FIVE: Add Specific Contact “Tags” to Your Mailing List for Your Postcard Mailing

    Now add the “tags” you want to use to create your super-targeted mailing list in the box provided (see screenshot below). As you add the tags you want for this mailing list, they will appear in blue (see screenshot below). The screen will also give you your new quantity of contacts for this “tagged” mailing list.

    Once you are done adding your tags, you are ready to continue editing your postcard and send it out to your new targeted list.

      It’s been years, but I still remember my landlord — a real estate agent — calling me and asking if I knew anyone who wanted to buy or sell a home. At the time, I didn’t.

      More than that, I truly wanted to help him and felt bad I couldn’t. I genuinely liked the man, and, believe me, the next day, I kept my ears open for real estate chatter.

      Step one toward getting new referrals is to be a nice person people want to help. Step two? Ask for referrals.

      Ask everyone. Your sphere of influence then connects to their sphere, and each person you contact broadens your possible referral base exponentially.

      But that just covers the basics. There is so much more that agents can do to get more referrals.

      The Bedrock: Relationship Marketing

      According to author Mari Smith, relationship marketing emphasizes customer satisfaction and retention intending to build profitable long-term relationships.

      It differs from other forms of marketing by focusing more on the client relationship. Its key principle is client retention.

      The good news for the real estate agent is that relationship marketing is less expensive in the long run than other forms of marketing.

      “Acquiring a new customer can cost five times more than retaining an existing customer,” according to Taylor Landis at OutboundEngine.com.

      Who’s in your Database?

      If your database is populated with only former clients, you’re missing out on a huge chunk of business.

      You should have everyone you know in your CRM – from your hairdresser to your aunt Martha. If they’re breathing, they should be in there.

      Here’s why this is important: the relationship marketing approach also focuses on customizing your marketing efforts.

      In his book “Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable,” marketing whiz Seth Godin agrees and insists that you should “differentiate your customers … Find the group that’s most likely to influence other customers,” suggests Godin.

      It starts with asking the right question: “Who do you know who is looking to buy or sell a home?”

      If you’re looking for a CRM that allows you to send out direct mail marketing, look no further. We have a free CRM available for you on ProspectsPlus.com.

          Yes, there’s still time! Here are six ways to help you stir up more activity in your market before the year-end.

          1. Stick to the plan (or create one if you haven’t yet)

          A marketing plan does much more than let you know how much money you’ll spend for over a period of time promoting your services. Chief among the additional benefits is that it helps you fill your days with prolific and directed activity.

          That forward-thinking stuff you need to create a plan forces you to carefully consider each option, both in terms of its financial impact and effectiveness.

          “Big ideas fail without a plan, and your marketing plan is the one thing that will still drive innovation and help you meet sales targets,” according to Mark Ellis, a business writer at Business2Community.com.

          If increasing listing activity is your goal, hammer out a marketing plan for the next three months and stick to it.

          2. Adhere to a regular prospecting schedule

          Whether you door-knock, cold-call, chase after expireds and FSBOs or use another method of prospecting, ensure that it gets done by making it a part of your daily or weekly schedule.

          Prioritize the task as well. It’s easy to keep putting it off when there are more interesting tasks to pursue, but it’s not wise. The more leads you steer toward that real estate sales funnel, the more prospects you can convert into new listings.

          3. Nurture those relationships

          People who sell customer relationship management software are fond of claiming that a CRM is the “lifeblood” of the real estate agent’s business.

          Guess what? They’re right. Building and nurturing relationships is the key to increased commission checks, and to do it right, you need a way to keep track of leads, prospects, clients (both current and past), and just about everyone else you know.

          While there are probably a million and one ways to set up a CRM, find a way that makes adding information and finding what you need easy. A way that works for you. Then ensure that you keep it safe, and back it up.

          HOT TIP: We offer a free CRM, the Contact Manager, on ProspectsPLUS.com. With the Contact Manager, you can tag entire mailing lists or just one contact within a list, building one highly targeted list for your marketing materials.

          In addition, you own your list, so you can export and download your CRM list anytime if you decide to move it. Now schedule time on a daily/weekly basis to reach out to the contacts in this database and nurture these relationships.

          The Looking For Listing Scheduled Farm Campaign is shown above.

          4. Fine-tune your response time to leads

          You can’t turn a lead into a prospect that you’ll convert into a listing if you don’t respond to their initial contact promptly.

          The short and sweet of it is that you have five minutes to respond to an incoming lead if you hope to reach the person live and get them into your sales funnel, according to InsideSales.com research.

          In fact, the agent who responds within this period is nearly 25 percent more likely to snag the lead. Wait a half-hour? You might as well forget about it and let the agent down the street who responds quicker have the lead.

          5. Start farming, via direct mail, if you haven’t already

          Farming is a low-cost, effective, and easy way to reach out to many people simultaneously and build relationships over time.

          The fact remains that direct mail is one of the most powerful marketing methods available. Mix that with a focus on a specific farm, and you have something powerful working for you.
