What got you here isn’t working any more
Over half a million people work in estate agency in the UK, probably three times the number employed in the industry when I was a child.

Which means one thing: HUGE competition for instructions.
Where your predecessors could rely on word of mouth and goodwill to keep stock levels humming nicely, you need to work your ass off to attract every single new vendor or landlord.

- Touting letters
- Social media
- Advertising

- Automated marketing
- Digital funnels
- Website email capture

- Webinars
- Facebook ads….
