Do This to Find Quality Property Scouts

You know you want to hire property scouts (a.k.a. bird dogs) to find deals for you. The whole idea is to save yourself some time (and money!) to get quality leads.

But how do you avoid spending all that time you’re supposedly saving on looking for the right people to scout for you?

Hey Moguls, Dolmar Cross here, and the key to finding quality property scouts is to have the right marketing. You need to give people all the information they need to sign up—and help them take the next step right away.

To do that, you need 2 webpages: the Ad Landing page and the Scout Registration page.

The Ad Landing Page

Potential scouts will visit this page after they see your ad. Your landing page has 1 purpose only: to get your potential scout to respond with “yes, please tell me more.” This is as simple as getting them to click a button on the bottom of the page to get more info.

This may seem like no big deal, but what you’re doing is strategically getting your very first micro-commitment from a property scout prospect. Then you invite them to a second step in the courting process before you straight-up ask them to make a commitment.

To get them to click, you need to hit them with the biggest benefit right out of the gate, and hopefully create a burning desire in each visitor for more information.

Think of this page like a funnel. When your website visitor first enters, he’s offered a brief, broad overview of your business model, explaining how he can make money finding properties for you and why he should become a property scout immediately.

Then he should have only 2 choices:

  1. Leave the website
  2. Take the next action as a “shy yes” to get more information

You need your landing page to:

  • Be creative and authentic
  • Have clearly defined benefits
  • Make a compelling offer

Your goal is to effectively create the demand for more information. If you’ve done this well (and if your visitor is, in fact, a good property scout prospect) then he should be eager to give you his email address or “Click here to learn more” about the opportunity you’re offering.

And if he’s not willing to take one little small step like that, then he’s likely not a good fit for your program anyway.

registerThe Scout Registration Page

After your potential scouts click to learn more about your offer, they should be immediately taken to your Scout Registration page. On this page, which you can create on your own or use my Property Scout Pipeline program to create, you’re basically selling them on the idea of becoming a property scout for you.

On this page, you should go into detail on all the benefits of this opportunity:

  1. You don’t need any prior experience.
  2. You can start in your spare time.
  3. You don’t need money or credit.
  4. There is absolutely zero financial risk.
  5. You can gain hands-on real estate investing experience.
  6. You have the opportunity to help people.
  7. You can find out if real estate investing is for you without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on books, courses or other learning aids.
  8. You can start earning money quickly.
  9. It’s relatively easy.
  10. There’s truly limitless earning potential!

Let them know that their job is simply to supply quality leads, with you handling the rest of the process. There aren’t many opportunities like being a property scout, where they can learn something new, make great money and help their community at the same time.

If you have a solid property scout prospect on your hands and you’ve done an effective job of presenting your offer, then the next step is to ask them to say, “I’m in!”

Now you’re stepping it up a bit, asking for all of their contact information. This does 2 things:

  • you need this info, and
  • asking for it weeds out anyone who isn’t as serious as they should be by now

Anyone who registers will receive instant access to your “members-only” area.

Many will leave the page without registering, either because they have unresolved questions or they’re just not quite ready to make a decision. Don’t worry too much about this. Remember, you want serious scouts.
