The effective things require either your time or your money. For example, I use radio and TV advertising to generate lots of &#8220;come list me&#8221; calls. It is very expensive. Last year I paid over 600k just for my media ads. You can start with less &#8211; when I started, the first year on radio I paid about 20k. The next year about 40k. Geographic farms are a common way to generate leads. Some agents <em>buy<\/em> them from companies. Working one&#8217;s sphere of influence is another common lead generation method &#8211; contacting a &#8220;known database&#8221;. One way or the other you will spend time, money or both to generate leads.<\/p>\n<p>To go big one must do one of these two things: prospect effectively or market yourself effectively. Pick one.<\/p>\n<p>Do I plan to ever attempt to put together some sort of package of &#8220;steps&#8221; &#8211; kind of a one-size-fits-all to provide to other agents? No. You can get one <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quantumleapsystem.com\/\">here<\/a> if you are interested in such useless crap.
