Lead Conversion - Wolfnet (or other) vs. DiverseSolutions

[David Lorti]

Has anyone input on whether the Diverse Solutions product lead conversion percentage is different than other IDX tools? Any thoughts here on whether use of DS' tool results in a higher or lower or the same lead conversion percentage as other tools? If there is a difference, what do you think the reasons and what to do about it?

Lead conversion percentage depends on what you do with the lead. If you do little to follow up on leads with any system, conversion will be less than someone who is driven to do follow up. So, the best system is the one you implement and use, no matter whose it is. IMO, having a non-framed IDX vs. an iFramed IDX will usually get you more leads, hence the opportunity to convert more in numbers...so a smaller percentage of the whole will still be more overall.

Thanks for the response and understand the importance of follow-up.

My question gets more to the tool itself. I have talked with just a couple people who suggested maybe that leads to the DiverseSolution may be less than other tools though no one had an idea why. The tool has a great look and console feel (I use it on my site) but am wondering myself if there is some type of issue in terms of usability that might lend itself to not getting people to register.

I use the Framed Diverse Solutions IDX, and I like the look for the Visitor, mapping, window pointers are Real cool, etc., however the User must Click for the Daily MLS Update Feature instead of this happening Automatically like most other Systems when the Seach Criteria is entered.

What the Designers were thinking here...I Really don't know!

I was told they are looking at changing that Problem...and Really hope so.
