Craig Proctor - Real Estate Coaching
I’m sure many real estate agents around North America have heard of Craig Proctor. He’s famous for his USPs ( unique selling propositions ) and Branded/Unbranded websites and 800 call capture systems.
I’m certain that when he first launched his Quantum Leap System program, it had to have a significant impact on most Realtors careers. However, it seems the Craig has not updated his system in years. Much of what worked 8 or even 2 years ago does not work in todays fasted paced real estate market.
For instance, his success websites in my opinion are a hugh joke (yes I had one and yes it got me leads). While the site obtains leads, most of the leads are pretty much worthless. You have to sort through 100s of leads just to find one decent prospect, to much work for me :). There is a much better way to obtain on-line business than to give out foreclosure lists to every wanna be investor out there.
Your real estate site should have the latest MLS Search capabilities, as well as the latest market information, become your local markets real estate authority. You won’t need to trick prospects into leaving a trail, as a matter a fact, they’ll seek out your services!

I agree. Proctor is old school. Most agents that use his systems make a lot of money and spend even more. It’s an ego marketing system!

All very very true. I am doing that with my site, and even though I don’t get thousands of visitors per week, I do get anyplace from 10 to 30 leads a week, and so far a large enough percentage have been closing within 6 months that it is working out well.
Keep up the great real estate articles, and yes Craig Proctor is old school in my opinion.
