From Manual Prospecting to a More Efficient Lead System

In this episode, Colby shares how he moved from manually researching expired listings and spending significant time preparing individual prospects to using REDX to streamline his prospecting workflow. He explains how he uses the Power Dialer, Expireds, and GeoLeads, including using GeoLeads to identify potential opportunities when buyers are looking in specific areas. He also discusses how he organizes prospecting information, verifies contacts before moving them into GoHighLevel, and separates prospecting from long-term nurturing.
