Sales people (or business owners), need advice..
I work in real estate leasing sales and the absolute biggest problem I have is..
That I cannot go 5 minutes without getting a phone call from an inbound lead. I literally feel like I have to be on my phone all day.
There seems to be no time to work on other things on any day. It's a 7 day per week job. Phone calls all day every day.
Yesterday I took a day off to study for a real estate exam and missed 50 phone calls.
All of those phone calls go straight to the other agent that works for the company.. And with every ring of me not answering it feels like I'm losing deals and the progress I've built up for my sales career is tanking.
Does anybody else have this problem? Any solution to it? My company has the phone system 8X8 and in order to capture a lead I literally need to answer every call and manually send them a text message so that they work with me and not another agent.
What's worse, 70% of the phone calls that come in are not even qualified.
All day, it consists of call after call after call. 12 hours a day 7 days a week.
At the gym, having dinner at moms house, out with the girlriend. Bzzz bzzz bzzz
Quite frankly, it's almost a FTE.
Would love advice. Thanks
