Remember 10/10/40/40 rule for leads
10% Will buy in near future
10% will never buy
40% are in the learning/education phase and will buy eventually (further out like FB leads 12+months)
40% are in the research phase and will buy eventually (3-12 months like Zillow leads)

1. Lead comes into FUB as “New (Contact Not Made)” status
a. Zillow, Trulia, Realtor, Facebook all have auto feeds into FUB so you shouldn’t need to manually enter.
b. YLOPO also has an open house tool which will drop the leads directly into FUB as well.
2. Reach out to the lead and see if you can get them on the phone and qualify them and set an appointment using ALM. Use THIS Lead Intake Form.
a. When recommending a lender, remember to check FUB for which lender was assigned to this lead for all lead sources except Zillow. For Zillow leads lender is assigned in the Zillow Premier agent App.
3. If you are able to qualify them, send them a video introducing yourself and confirming what you talked about. Then skip to section called “Once you have converted a Lead”
4. Try Triple Call Back and follow up with this text “Is this (insert lead first name)?” Don't leave a voicemail. So just call and if you don't get them hang up and call right back. If you don't get them second time, hangup and call back. If you don’t get them the third time send the text. Chances of getting the person on the phone go from 12% to 40% to 80% by third call.
5. If you don’t get them on the phone you should do the following:
a. Make sure there is a dynamic listing alert setup in YLOPO based on the property they inquired about. If there isn't, set one up.
b. Send them a welcome email from you. We recommend either of these FUB email templates “Day 1 Motivation 1” or “ Initial email - no phone number”
c. Confirm that the “BUYER / RR Inbound Ultimate Action Plan” or "KTS Buyer Action Plan " is running in FUB and if not add it
d. Send them a video text introducing yourself and how you can help.
e. Call/Text them every day for 10 days after you receive the lead to try and engage them. Remember all you have to do is check your “New - No Contact” smart list. When you are following up with these leads, you should leave voicemails with USPs { unique selling proposition) to get them to call you back. Check out THIS document on leaving great voicemails.
f. Watch your dashboard in FUB and look for priority alerts from Ylopo.
g. If you do not connect with the lead after 10 days move them to the " Sea" by adding the tag
Change the stage to spoke with customer, appointment set, met with customer, showing homes, submitting offers, under contract
Setup a new search in Ylopo and keep the original dynamic search running. Please note that if you edit the dynamic alert at all it will no longer be dynamic.
Add tag “NOTEXT” to stop AI from interacting
Pause any action plans that are running
Text them your contact card from your phone so they have your cell and FUB #.
If its a zillow lead don’t forget to utilize “My Agent” relationship and remind them that Zillow will be reaching out with a survey and ask for the 5 Star Review
If you set an appointment, add the appointment in FUB
For Zillow leads - Update the status in the Premier agent app and add the lender that was assigned in the premier agent app.
Enter all of your notes in the background section of FUB. This can also be found as text template "FUB background notes template "in FUB

2. Your Goals for each day should be the following in this order:
a. Clear out your YLOPO Priority list
b. Call/Text the leads in your “New-No Contact” list
