The transcript below has been lightly edited for length and clarity:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Tracey Velt:<\/strong> What are you finding are the top challenges teamerage leaders are having and what are you doing to help solve those challenges?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Michael Ward: <\/strong>Not to sound like a broken record, but a lot of teamerages that put all of their lead volume into that aggregator bucket are hitting up against the wall right now. When I talked to a majority of these market centers and asked them what percentage their lead volume is coming from an aggregator ecosystem, they would often tell me 90%. That means that 90% of their lead volume has a 35-40% price tag on it at the closing table.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where we&#8217;ve been shifting that pendulum is that 80% of their lead volume should come from self-source lead aggregation, right? Your database should be 80% of your lead volume. It&#8217;s fine to have 20% living there, but don&#8217;t let an outside ecosystem control the opportunity and the revenue you can bring. And so that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been coaching through for a lot of these market centers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Keller Williams\u2019 Michael Ward on shifting the pendulum on lead generation\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rYVPeDi5qvI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The RealTrending podcast features the brightest minds in real estate.
