Prospecting fails for two reasons: it’s either random or unsustainably intense. The fix is a rhythm you can keep for 90 days—long enough to see compounding results, short enough to stay focused.
Define your lanes (3 maximum). Example: 1) SOI nurture, 2) Local business owners, 3) Expired/withdrawn. Fewer lanes = more depth.
Craft your value offers. Equity review, neighborhood report, vendor list, or “move-up payment options.” Lead with value; follow with a simple ask.
Build a weekly cadence.
-
Mon: 10 SOI calls + 10 texts
-
Tue: 5 local business drop-bys
-
Wed: 10 expired connections
-
Thu: Content day (market reel + email)
-
Fri: 5 equity reviews booked for next week
Measure like a pro. Track dials, conversations, appointments set, and signed agreements. If a channel underperforms after four weeks, adjust the message or swap the lane.
Protect the energy. Use 50-minute sprints with a 10-minute reset. Prewrite your scripts. Celebrate appointments, not just closings—appointments are the lead indicator.
