1. Connect directly with motivated buyers in your local market.
To meet more people in your local area, you must get your boots on the ground and start networking. But getting your networking practice up and running takes time and consistency. As you’re establishing yourself, Connections℠ Plus helps you skip the waiting game by connecting you directly with local prospective buyers looking for homes.

2. You’ll never sweat your speed-to-lead.
Fast follow-up is critical: A study from CallHippo found the best time to reach out to a lead via phone is within an hour of their form submission. If you respond after an hour, you are eight times less likely to get in touch with the lead.

The platform sends responses 24/7, so buyers receive immediate contact. That means you stay competitive without hovering over your phone.
3. Your leads won’t be a mystery.
Say goodbye to cold outreach and take the guesswork out of knowing who your leads are and what they’re interested in before you meet. When you get a buyer lead from Connections℠ Plus, you also get the lead’s contact information, the properties they’ve been looking at and, in some cases, even direct links to their social media profiles.
By having these tidbits of knowledge about your buyer lead before you even contact them, you can start identifying ways to best support their needs and goals and get a head start on developing a strong client relationship—all without having to do extensive, time-consuming research on your own.
