Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:40:54 +0000 http://realestateindustrywatch.com/?p=52#comment-352 I know the VoicePad mobileIDX and the leads are not sent to the competition. The leads on competitors listings are routed back to YOU or YOUR brokerage depending on how you have chosen to set it up. It is the most powerful lead generation tool we have ever encountered. The best part is that our agents have something of value to offer prospects, inquiring on any listing without talking to another competitor agent. As they drive around and call on listings I can track their activity on a Google map and I don't have to drive them around. When they decide to talk to an agent on any property they press the 1 key on their phone and the call routes to me. I have tripled my income on buy side transactions and have not lost a listing since I started using VoicePad. All this has happened in a down market!

Their new mobileIDX solution seems to be a nice idea, but the fact the competition gets all the leads doesn't help the agent much. Also, the system isn't very user friendly for the buyer as you might have to listen to several properties with the same address.

I would love to hear more about how to incorporate it into the brokerage. I am going to be at the Summit so I will see you there. Thanks for Sharing.

Would be really interesting to benchmark them out. Additional note- I would love to hear the experiences of others with other brands of IVR types of products as well.

I have been talking with Don Hintz (your regional Tech guy) about it . as well.@Teri- GREAT question. The best I can do is estimate (since we have 120 agents in the office). Based on what I am hearing currently, about 2% are becoming clients.That varies from month to month and I don't grill our folks about it, but 24 new clients a month over time turns into closings. The reason that the conversion is low (IMO) is that some of the "leads" a neighborhood lookey-loo's and nosey neighbors. We try not to pester anyone. Just follow up quick and see if they need anything.Some agents have a problem with working on a 2% numbers game, but our agents LOVE it. If I tried to shut this off right now, I'd be looking for work (grin).24 new clients each month in our office is a pretty good thing.Hope that helps.Best;Eric @Paula- Thanks.

I'm always curious about the lead/conversion. 1200 leads is a lot on 300 homes! Can I ask how many have become clients? Howdy Eric-
