From being one of the first four real estate agents of a new real estate company to serving as Chief Operating Officer of a +1,000-member organization, Lauren Bowen has experienced, learned, and achieved more than most in the industry over the past decade … all with boldness and kindness.
We opened 2024 with Lauren as our first guest. Now we’re opening 2025 with her return!
Last year she shared the path from 1 to 16 different lead sources. This year she shares how they vet, distribute, and increase conversion on 24 different lead sources!
Among the MANY helpful things she openly shares with you in this conversation: how they discovered that 56% of leads closed with the second Robert Slack agent they talked to - and what they did about it.
We recorded this conversation in person at Unlock 2024 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
