The Recruitment Journey
How We Find, Nurture,
and Convert Agents
Most brokerages wing it. We built a system. Here is the exact funnel we use to identify, educate, and recruit the right agents — with real numbers at every stage.
Stage by Stage
The Full Recruitment Funnel
From first ad impression to signed agent. Every stage, every conversion rate, every touchpoint — transparently mapped.
Ad Click
Targeted Facebook and Google ads reach agents in Illinois and Indiana who are actively searching for brokerage information, comparing splits, or researching career moves.
- Geo-targeted to IL & IN agent zip codes
- Audience: licensed agents, real estate students, career switchers
- Creative: "The Real Cost of Your Current Brokerage" angle
Landing Page
The agent lands on a purpose-built recruitment page that speaks directly to their pain points — not a generic corporate site.
- Hero addresses "Splitting Too Much" head-on
- Social proof via agent testimonials and stats
- Clear value proposition: free checklist, no pressure
Lead Capture
Agents exchange their contact info for the Brokerage Evaluation Checklist — a 10-question framework that helps them evaluate any brokerage objectively.
- 10-question checklist with commission comparison framework
- Hidden fees red flag checklist included
- Technology & support evaluation matrix
- Culture fit assessment questions
Email Nurture
A 5-email sequence delivers value, builds trust, and positions the webinar as the natural next step. No hard selling.
- Email 1: Checklist delivery + quick win tip
- Email 2: "The hidden cost problem" deep dive
- Email 3: Agent success story (social proof)
- Email 4: Webinar invitation with scarcity
- Email 5: Final reminder + direct booking link

Webinar Attendance
Of those who register, 40–60% actually attend. The live format creates commitment and allows real-time interaction.
