If you're looking to add 100 potential clients to your database, chances are you already have this many (or way more) in your phone contacts, email contacts, and social media friends/followers.If your conversion rate as a new agent is .5%, you'll need 200 leads in order to close 1 deal.You should spend at least 30 mins a day as a P-T agent to generate leads.
