Lesson From the Real Estate Virtual Assistant Trenches
January 31st, 2006 by Ruth Ann MacklinJust like you, I use drip email campaigns to prospect for new business as a real estate virtual assistant. I had created a fairly unsophisticated campaign¦sort of homey, but talking to specific concerns of my prospect. For every 500 emails I sent out, I would average 1-2 requests for more information. Not a bad return.
Then, back in December, I switched to an HTML email campaign. I figured if I got 1-2 requests from the unsophisticated campaign, this should produce 3-4. The emails looked great, but definitely more commerical. Content was the same, just packaged differently. Result: no requests for information in 30 days.
Needless to say, I have gone back to my more homey emails and my information requests are back on track.
So, keep it simple! Forget the fancy stuff and stick to a more personalized approach.
If you would like help from a real estate virtual assistant with your real estate prospecting campaigns, give me call, 757-271-6047 or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
