Social media for commercial mortgage brokers is like skeet shooting - it's all about preparation, precision, and perfect timing. Here's how to hit your lead generation targets every time 🧵👇
1️⃣ LOAD YOUR ARSENAL 📋 Just like a skeet shooter preps ammunition, batch your content weekly:
- Market insights (your "clay pigeons")
- Success stories (your "sure shots")
- Educational posts (your "practice rounds")
- Industry news takes (your "reactive shots")
2️⃣ KNOW YOUR RANGE 🎯 Each platform has its own "flight pattern":
- LinkedIn = Station 1 (straightaway professional content)
- Facebook = Station 4 (relationship building)
- Instagram = Station 7 (visual storytelling) Master one platform first, then expand.
3️⃣ TIMING IS EVERYTHING ⏰ Don't aim where the clay IS - aim where it's GOING. Peak windows:
- LinkedIn: Tue-Thu, 8-10am & 12-2pm
- Facebook: Wed-Fri, 1-4pm
- Instagram: Mon-Fri, 11am-1pm & 7-9pm But use YOUR analytics to find YOUR audience patterns.
4️⃣ LEAD YOUR TARGETS 🎲 Anticipate client needs before they voice them:
- Difficult deal? Post about alternative structures like bridge loans
- Economic uncertainty? Focus on stability
- Hot markets? Highlight speed-to-close Your content should arrive exactly when prospects need it.
5️⃣ FOLLOW THROUGH 💪 Pulling the trigger isn't enough:
- Respond to comments within 2 hours
- Engage meaningfully with active prospects
- DM consistent engagers
- Track posts that generate actual inquiries (not just likes)
6️⃣ THE CHAMPIONSHIP MINDSET 🏆 Practice daily: 30 minutes each morning
- 10 min posting
- 10 min engaging
- 10 min prospecting Track your "hit rate" - connections → conversations → deals. Adjust aim accordingly.
7️⃣ Both skeet shooting and social media are games of patience and persistence. You might miss a few shots, but champions stay focused on the next target. Ready to call "Pull!" on your lead generation? 🎯
