Leverage your people to get more Google Reviews for real estate agents
You can’t do it alone. It’s a simple fact. Of course, the first thing you do is reach out to your own sphere of influence (SOI) to ask for reviews. But once your own database is tapped, you will need to find a way to ask more people.
An easy way to do this is to hire someone to help you get more Google Reviews. By leveraging your new hire’s SOI, you will unlock access to more people to give you more reviews.
- Ask everyone in your sphere of influence (SOI) for a 5-star Google Review
- Post an ad for a temp job on Facebook, targeted at your SOI
- Give the temp worker instructions per the script in today’s free download
- Onboard them to your team and teach them about who you are
- Leverage your new hire’s SOI database to get more reviews
“Get so far ahead that your competition doesn’t even want to try to catch up to you.”
Why does this work?
Some agents feel awkward about asking for Google Reviews from people they don’t know. By asking your new hire to reach out to their people, you are not asking them to lie or get reviews in a dishonest manner. They can use a simple script that explains the following bullet points.
- I just started working for Team Name
- They are a great real estate team here in Location
- Team Name are very active in our community here in Location, and I’m excited to be a part of their team
- I’m proud to be a part of Team Name‘s Marketing Department
- My first project is to help them reach their goals and increase their Google Review numbers
- Will you please leave a 5-star Google Review for the Team Name?
The people that your new hire reach out to know and trust them. Because your new hire works for you and is officially part of your “team”, it is not disingenuous for them to ask for a review from their friends and family.
Added benefit of asking for Google Reviews for real estate agents: an SOI contact point
We are always looking for reasons to connect with our SOI. This a great reason to reach out as a part of our 100 contacts per year. Most of the time, we come from contribution and provide value as we stay in front of our SOI. But this time, you’re counting on your strong connections and asking for a favor.
Be sure to use incentives or provide a Thank You. A great way to do this is to conduct a “free giveaway” and each week, select a winner from the SOI members who leave you a 5-star Google Review.
