Are you a “one-spoke wonder”? If you know that you are, or if you don’t even know what that means, then read on, because this article is all about you, and if you’re willing & able to take action on it, we guarantee that it will produce tremendous benefits & stability for your lead generation.

Simply put, a “one-spoke wonder” is an agent who relies exclusively on a single type of lead-generation for all of their prospecting. For instance, maybe you’ve had success with phone-prospecting your Center Of Influence, or possibly you’re buying all your leads from Zillow (you shouldn’t, but that’s another lecture for another day). That makes you a one-spoke wonder.

The problem with relying on a single lead-generation spoke is that it puts all the eggs for your business in a single basket. If things change (in this constantly changing industry), it could leave you high and dry, searching for leads with nothing to fall back on. That’s why we recommend that every agent have at least 7 lead-generation channels – or “spokes”, as we like to call them.

“Seven spokes,” you might say, “Good Lord, do 7 different ways to generate leads even exist?” The answer is a resounding “yes!”, and to get you started, take notes on the list below were we outline 58 lead-generation sources that can help you eliminate your dangerous reliance on a single-spoke to put the bread on your table.
