Company Overview

Terri Cicchetti Realty Group is a real estate brokerage focused on attracting experienced and motivated real estate professionals. The company helps agents grow their business through training, support, technology, marketing resources, and collaborative team culture. To support long-term growth, the brokerage wanted a predictable recruiting system that consistently connected them with qualified real estate agents and supported steady appointment booking.

The Challenge

The brokerage relied heavily on referrals and personal networking to recruit new agents, making hiring inconsistent throughout the year.

The company faced several challenges:

• Inconsistent pipeline of recruiting opportunities
• Heavy dependence on referrals and personal connections
• Difficulty reaching experienced licensed agents
• Competitive real estate recruiting market
• Limited internal recruiting resources

They needed a structured outbound recruiting system that could consistently generate conversations with qualified real estate professionals and turn the right prospects into booked appointments.

Before vs After: The Shift in the Brokerage’s Recruiting Pipeline

In short, the brokerage moved from referral-dependent recruiting to a repeatable outbound system that produced qualified agent conversations every month.

Campaign Objectives

• Identify licensed real estate agents interested in new opportunities
• Reach experienced agents and producing professionals
• Book qualified recruiting appointments
• Build a predictable real estate agent recruiting pipeline for brokerage growth

Outbound Outreach Strategy

Targeted Recruiting Lists

We built targeted prospect lists including:

• Independent real estate agents
• Experienced producing agents
• Team members exploring new brokerages
• Newly licensed agents
• Local real estate professionals

Every contact was verified based on licensing status, experience level, market, and recruiting fit. This targeting discipline carries across all our real estate lead generation campaigns.

Multi-Channel Outreach

B2B Cold Calling

• Direct conversations with licensed agents
• Recruiting conversations focused on career growth, brokerage support, and earning potential
• Real-time appointment scheduling

Openers and objection handling followed the frameworks in our real estate agent recruiting scripts.

Cold Email Marketing

• Follow-up emails after calls
• Brokerage overview and value proposition
• Meeting scheduling links

Qualification Criteria

Every prospect completed a qualification process before an appointment was booked. We qualified prospects based on:

• Active real estate license
• Current brokerage affiliation
• Interest in exploring new opportunities
• Availability for a recruiting conversation

Only qualified recruiting prospects were scheduled.

Booking Method

Qualified prospects were booked directly into the recruiting calendar through our appointment setting service.

Campaign Timeline: How the Recruiting Pipeline Built Over 6 Months

The 6-month campaign moved through three clear phases, with appointment volume climbing as agent targeting and recruiting messaging sharpened.

• Phase 1 (Months 1 to 2): Setup and Ramp-Up. Agent lists built by license status and market, recruiting scripts tested, and call cadences put in place. 18 appointments booked (~9/month) as the pipeline started to fill.
• Phase 2 (Months 3 to 4): Consistency Building. Call and email cadences stabilized, with messaging refined around career growth and earning potential. 21 appointments booked (~11/month).
• Phase 3 (Months 5 to 6): Peak Performance. Higher connect rates and warmer follow-ups from agents already familiar with the brokerage. 24 appointments booked (~12/month), the strongest stretch of the campaign.

By the final phase, monthly booking volume had grown roughly 33% over the launch phase. The brokerage held a qualified recruiting conversation in every month of the campaign.

Recruiting Pipeline Impact

• Qualified recruiting opportunities: 42+
• Agents progressing through recruitment: 25+
• Successful hires: 14+
• Estimated recruiting pipeline growth: 180%+ over the previous referral-only baseline

Why the Campaign Worked

• Targeted Agent Lists: Every prospect list focused on licensed real estate professionals who matched the brokerage’s recruiting goals.
• Direct Recruiter Conversations: Cold calling allowed us to speak directly with agents instead of waiting for inbound applications.
• Consistent Follow-Up: Email outreach reinforced the brokerage’s value proposition and kept interested agents engaged.
• Predictable Recruiting System: The campaign replaced referral-only recruiting with a repeatable outbound process that consistently generated recruiting appointments.

Client Testimonial

“Recruiting used to depend on who we already knew, so some months we had conversations and some months we had none. Now we talk to agents who have never met us. Fourteen of them have joined the team.”
