Call me or email me anytime. I found several ways to increase the overall conversion rate, unfortunately, no matter what I try, I have been unable to significantly increase the initial visitor registration. @ John Ehlers – I would love to talk to you about conversion rates.

Early on I adopted a voluntary guestbook and I have felt that it has given me an adequate number of leads which have been converted into warm bodies actually purchasing homes. The sign in sheet does pop up when people want to search for homes, but if the visitor takes the time to read it, it will be evident that it is voluntary. I have not been able to track the numbers so I'm not sure if people just see the sign in sheet and look for another website where they don't have to sign in. I don't really know how to do this. One thing I am wondering is whether you have taken into account the time it takes to deal with the bogus leads you get from the forced sign-in. I am a solo agent and I was spending a lot of time dealing with those, when I could have been doing more dollar-productive things. When I switched to the voluntary, I got very few bogus names.

I create one 12 month long campaign and then create several campaigns from it using the key emails from the campaign. I place them on the 12 month until I know any different and then bump them up to a shorter campaign based on their feedback. I do something very similar.

(if the buyer says he visits in 3 months.. or 6 months…etc.) Tough to do…. any suggestions? Joshua,
