Julie Papagni Won Two Leads Using Halo

The Story in 15 Seconds

  • Julie added a rent-vs-buy widget to her neighborhood site.
  • She posted asking people to comment "guide" for access.
  • She got about 18 requests, and two new leads.
  • She was stunned by how fast it moved.
  • As an agent coach, she now has a new lesson to teach.

Julie Papagni coaches real estate agents for a living. So when her own marketing outperformed her expectations, she noticed immediately, and it happened because of a simple tool she built with HALO.

The Simplest Lead Magnet Yet

Julie built a rent-versus-buy widget and added it to her neighborhood site. She made it public, then wrote a short post with a simple ask: type "guide" in the comments if you want it.

She wasn't expecting much. A tool like that usually gets a trickle of interest, a few comments here and there.

A Widget Built to Answer One Question

The widget itself solves a problem nearly every buyer wrestles with: does it make more financial sense to rent or to buy, given their own numbers. Instead of a blog post explaining the concept in the abstract, people could plug in their own situation and get a real answer.

That's a different kind of content. It's not something to read, it's something to use, and people respond to tools differently than they respond to articles.

18 Requests Before She Could Blink

The comments started coming in fast. By the time Julie checked back, she'd counted about 18 separate requests for the guide.

Two of those requests turned into real leads, people who wanted more than just the download.

"How Am I Going to Keep Up With This?"

Julie wasn't prepared for the volume. Her own reaction says as much about the result as any number could.

"It honestly blew me away. When I looked at it, I was shocked. I thought, 'How am I going to keep up with this?'"
— Julie Papagni

That's a good problem to have, and not a common one for a single post to create.

A Coach Just Became the Case Study

Julie spends her career teaching other agents how to build lead generation systems that actually work. Now she has a new example to point to, one she lived through herself instead of just teaching secondhand.

A tool, one post, and a simple call to action turned into 18 conversations and two real leads. That's the kind of result that's easy to explain and hard to argue with.

Ready to Win With HALO?

Julie didn't build a complicated funnel. She built one useful tool and asked people to raise their hand.
