Here you will find lead-handling tips for mortgage brokers and financial advisers. These words of wisdom can help you achieve the best possible outcome for your clients.

Getting the ball rolling

When you take a lead, it’s highly recommended that you follow these initial steps:

  1. Call the lead straight away

  2. Follow up with an email

  3. Send a chase text message if a mobile number has been provided

What if there’s no answer?

If you phoned up a lead only to receive no answer, here’s what to do next:

  1. Call the lead again at different times throughout the day

  2. Try at least 3-4 times per day if you still can’t get hold of them

  3. Phoning from different/withheld numbers can help

Introducing yourself

To start off, we suggest name-dropping the website that the enquiry was originally generated from and keeping things simple when introducing yourself and what you do.

Here’s an example: “Hi, it’s Andy calling from LeadCrowd. I can see you have just made an inquiry on (insert website name). Do you have 10 minutes for a chat?”
