I’m James MacDonald with Agent Lead to Close, and I work with real estate agents every day who are struggling to connect with potential clients. One of the biggest frustrations I hear is, “Nobody wants to meet anymore. They just want to do everything online.” Sound familiar?

I get it. It feels like everyone’s gone digital, and face-to-face meetings are a thing of the past. But I’m here to tell you that’s not entirely true. The real problem isn’t that people don’t want to meet; it’s that they don’t have a reason to meet with you.

Think about it. What’s your typical offer when you reach out to a prospect? Is it something like, “I’d love to get together and chat,” or “When do you have time to meet?” Let’s be honest, those offers are weak. They focus on your desire to meet, not on what the client will gain.

Clients care about themselves. They want to know how you can help them achieve their goals. They need a clear and compelling reason to invest their time in a meeting.

So, what’s the solution? Craft irresistible offers that provide real value. Think about what your ideal clients need and what problems they face. How can you position yourself as the solution?

Here are a few examples of strong offers:

• Access to off-market properties: “I can get you access to properties in your target neighborhood that aren’t even listed on the MLS yet.”
• Exclusive market insights: “I’ll provide you with a personalized market analysis showing recent sales and trends in your area of interest.”
• Strategic planning session: “Let’s sit down and create a custom plan to help you achieve your real estate goals, whether you’re buying or selling.”

These offers go beyond simply wanting to “chat.” They demonstrate your expertise and provide tangible benefits to potential clients.

I often use the “gold brick” analogy to illustrate this point. If you offered someone a 24-carat gold brick in exchange for a meeting, they’d be eager to meet, right? Why? Because you’re offering something of immense value. While you don’t need to give away gold bricks, you do need to offer something equally compelling in the eyes of your prospects.

Stop begging for meetings. Start offering real value. When you focus on providing genuine benefits, you’ll find that clients are not only willing to meet, they’ll be anxious to meet with you.
