Overview
All signs point to a robust relocation market in 2021 – whether driven by the need for more space, the desire for a change of scenery, the ability to work from anywhere, or the realization of owning a vacation home.
This year’s referral campaign is designed to help you and your agents capture this business and make the most of our network’s “Connections. Powered by People.”
Steps to Referral Success
We encourage you to set your goal 25% above the LeadingRE 2021 Outbound Referral Goal found at the bottom of your monthly eStat Report and on the RELO® Xchange Dashboard. To set per-office goals based on agent count, see the handy Referral Goals by Office Report in the Advanced Reporting Library in Xchange.
Highlight the exciting opportunities of the current market. Share your outgoing referral goal. Preview the promotional tools and remind your agents what’s in it for them – the opportunity to extend their services, the chance to win prizes and recognition, and the ability to earn more income.
Download the new marketing tools here and share with your agents. See the referral promotion ideas for added inspiration. Consider offering your own incentives to build excitement, recognize agents and keep referrals top of mind.
Make sure you are entering all the important information for each outgoing referral you enter in RELO Xchange, including the name of the referring associate or staff member. If you have questions about how to do this, read our broker to broker referral best practices or please contact Tracy Vallejo at: Tracy Vallejo at: tvallejo@LeadingRE.com.
