Good morning, everyone! Today, I want to talk about a simple but powerful strategy to elevate your game when it comes to making connections with referrals. We all know how valuable a referral from an agent can be—it’s like getting a warm introduction. But what happens when you make that initial call, and it goes straight to voicemail?
Most of us would leave a voicemail or send a text, but let’s take it a step further. Instead of just leaving a message, try shooting a quick video text. Introduce yourself, let the client know you’re excited to help, and give them a glimpse of who you are.
Why is this so effective? First, video allows you to convey your personality in a way that texts and voicemails simply can’t. Your tone, facial expressions, and enthusiasm all come through clearly, making it easier for the client to connect with you on a personal level. It’s an opportunity to build rapport from the very first interaction, and that’s something you don’t want to pass up.
In a world where people are bombarded with impersonal messages, a video text is a refreshing change. It’s personal, direct, and memorable. The client gets to see who you are right away, which can build trust and make them more likely to return your call.
Taking this extra step shows that you’re committed and that you care about making a genuine connection. And let’s be honest, in our line of work, trust and relationships are everything. By showing yourself, you set the stage for a strong working relationship from the very start.
So, next time you reach out to a referral and hit voicemail, don’t just settle for a message. Hit record, introduce yourself, and let the client know how glad you are to be working with them. It’s a small effort that can make a big impact.
Let’s make those connections count!
