44. The Truth About Paid Leads: Are They Really Worth It?

Season #1

I recently got a great question in my Ask Me Anything series:
“I'm trying to build my business using online homebuying webinars. Should I start running ads to them?”

And boy do I have a hot take on this.

One quick disclaimer: this is just my experience and view on that form of lead generation. In this industry, different things work for different agents which is a beautiful thing! That said, I always come from a repeat, referral, and relationship-centric lens in all of my business dealings… and I’ve found that every time I leave my lane, I’m reminded why I should stay in it!!

Here’s what I take you through in this episode as it relates to running ads for leads:
✅ Why paid leads didn’t feel like the right fit for my business model
✅ The approach I’ve taken instead, and how it’s worked long-term
✅ The risks and considerations I see when agents rely on online leads
✅ How I attract ready-to-go clients without running ads
✅ Why understanding your personality, systems, and values matters more than the strategy itself

This is a must-listen if you're considering paid lead gen - or if you're feeling stuck and unsure where to find your next clients.
