Here’s the Evolution of a Lead-Generating Strategy… Over 10 Years in the Making For Office, Retail and Industrial Leasing and Sales
10 Years of Consistent Content
For over a decade, Mitch Waldman of Cogent Realty Advisors in NYC committed to publishing 2-4 blogs monthly. Each post was laser-focused on a specific building (think World Trade Center), targeting keywords like "Office Space Cost at [Building Name]."
The Payoff
The results speak for themselves: companies in search of office space discover Mitch's work on Google, and they call. Topics like:
- Office Space for Lawyers Near City Hall
- Office Space for Rent Near Grand Central
- Office Space Cost World Trade Center
This formula, known as the “Law of 1000,” proved Mitch could "cultivate a garden rather than a farm"—focusing on a targeted market for high-impact results.
The 10x Obstacle
Despite these wins, the process was still labor-intensive. It was easier than cold calling, no doubt, but each blog required deep research and attention.
Enter ChatGPT... and Then, Custom AI Tools
When ChatGPT arrived, creating these posts got simpler. But it wasn’t until I developed my own custom AI software that we found a breakthrough.
The Proof Stacking Evolution
Using finely-tuned AI prompts, I crafted blog posts that outperformed anything we’d written. We tested it by publishing a page on NewYork.com. It ranked immediately on Google for "Top 5 Office Buildings Downtown NYC."
Game-Changing Speed
With this AI toolset, content creation went from hours to minutes. Last week, in just 3 hours, I created 36 fully optimized pages:
- Top 5 Office Buildings By Town
- Specific Building Pages – Profiles for buildings like One World Trade Center
Beyond NYC: The Nationwide Potential
This strategy is versatile enough for every city in the U.S. For any broker looking to dominate their region, it’s the ultimate model.
Blueprint for Building Your Lead-Generating Empire
If I were starting a brokerage today, here’s what I’d do:
- Top 5 Page for Each Town - Create a "Top 5 Office Buildings" (and retail store and industrial) page for each of the main towns in Fairfield County CT.
- Comprehensive Website - I'd build a dedicated website featuring these pages, complete with property photos and Google Maps integration.
- Video Content for Engagement - I would record quick videos introducing each page and embed them on the site. (see this in action on BobKnakal.com )
- Success Stories and Market Insights - I'd add a section for case studies and market updates, establishing authority and trust.
A Sales Machine that Works for You
This strategy creates a “virtual sales machine” that drives leads on autopilot. With this model, you draw buyers, sellers, and owners to the site through networking, social media, and Google.
The Proof Stacking Law of 1000 to 10,000
I’ll soon be offering the complete toolset, strategy, and training. This is how we’ve amplified the Law of 1000 to reach 10,000 or more. The future of lead generation is here.
