The Easy Way to Generate Real Estate Leads with the Plus One Strategy

Quick question for you—since the beginning of the year, how much time have you invested in lead generation? Whether it's with your sphere of influence, open houses, FSBOs, expired listings, absentee owners, or geographic farming, where have you focused your efforts?

To maintain a consistent income without the ups and downs, you should be dedicating at least an hour a day to lead generation. But remember, we don’t do what we don’t schedule. If it’s not on your calendar, it’s unlikely you’ll actually do it. There will always be distractions pulling you away from this essential task.

Let me give you a simple strategy to ramp back up into regular lead generation. Because if you’ve been doing little to none for the past three to six months, jumping straight into an hour a day can feel overwhelming.

The solution? The Plus One Strategy.

It’s simple—just do one of these activities today:

• One call
• One text
• One video text
• One handwritten note
• One social media post

If you really want to push yourself, add a second video text.

Just start with one. This should take less than 20–30 minutes. Tomorrow, do two. The next day, three. Keep increasing until you’re consistently spending a full hour on lead generation.

I recently had a student struggling with lead gen, and I told him—the first call will feel like lifting a thousand-pound boulder, even if it’s just to someone in your sphere. The reason? Your prospecting muscles have atrophied. Right now, your business is on life support because you’re not generating leads. Anything that happens is just luck—you’re essentially praying to the real estate gods for deals to fall in your lap.

You can’t run your business that way. If you want to be intentional about success, you have to set aside time for lead generation. Ideally, start with your sphere of influence and expand from there.

So, use the Plus One Strategy. Start with one small action tomorrow—a call, text, email, handwritten note, or social media post. Then build from there. If you stay consistent, your pipeline will grow, and you’ll never have to rely on luck again.

Have a great day, and happy selling!
