Online lead generation can feel like a maze: too many tools, too much noise, and no clear path forward. Today, we’re sitting down with Kimber Walton, our Keller Williams regional tech trainer and lead gen coach, to walk through the updated 2025 online lead generation playbook built specifically for agents like us.

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually turn social media into a steady source of business, this is the system we’re using. We cover how to create low-cost, targeted Facebook and Instagram ads, how to use DM automation tools like ManyChat to follow up instantly, and most importantly, how to get those leads into our CRM and start meaningful conversations.
