Not any leads from people I didn't already know. The biggest challenge of using social media as a lead generator is that you must create a sense of community and trust. It's harder to do across the screen as opposed as face to face.

Ross,

It depends on the market place.  We have been testing this since 2008 in various marketplaces, and the results are different for each...I don't think your broker is "old school",  I think he is making sure you know the fundamentals.  Lately, one the big national firms is recommending that their agents, and I quote "go meet people, face to face nose to nose toes to toes!"  A
