Episode 78-Luke Shankula Talks about Successful Digital Marketing-Building My Legacy with Lois Sonst

Welcome to Episode 78 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, we talk with Luke Shankula, founder and CEO of Paragon Digital Marketing, and a leading mortgage marketing expert. In addition to giving us an overview of today’s real estate market, Luke talks extensively about digital marketing – from lead generation through conversion.

With his background as a loan officer, it was natural for Luke to get into marketing for mortgage professionals. Today he and his company work with loan officers to identify consumers who want to buy or refinance a home and convert those leads into sales. His digital marketing tools include Facebook ads, Instagram, and even YouTube. He also acknowledges that marketing takes time and it all comes down to “mindset.” According to Luke, if you’re willing to learn, willing to change, and willing to put in the work, you can succeed.

So if you want to know:

– Why generating leads is just a small piece of the marketing puzzle
– How to “warm-up” leads by asking qualifying questions on the front-end
– Why “speed to lead” is such an important part of an effective conversion process
– Why internet leads require a different approach than referrals
– How having a “growth mentality” can help you improve your process
