What looks like effortless success from the outside is actually the result of structure, systems, and a lot of teamwork. At the Nickle Team, powered by PLACE, we follow a proven Lead Generation Model that drives consistent production and client satisfaction. This framework turns every agent into a business owner supported by systems designed to scale.


The Six Pillars of the PLACE Lead Generation Model

1. Sphere
Your sphere, past clients, family, friends, and local connections, is your most valuable business source. Our team supports agents with:

  • Brivity Auto Plans to stay in touch automatically

  • Monthly newsletters and market reports

  • Video scripts and editing support

  • Closing gifts and seasonal items of value
    This keeps your database active, nurtured, and ready for referrals.


2. Open Houses
Open houses aren’t just for weekend traffic, they’re conversion machines when done right. We provide:

  • Signs, banners, and mobile check-in tools

  • Brivity open house dashboards for lead capture

  • Circle prospecting flyers and follow-up scripts

  • Social media promotion and design work
    Each open house becomes a mini marketing event that grows your database and reputation.


3. Prospecting
Consistency beats luck. Our team equips agents with:

  • Targeted farm lists and buyer/seller guides

  • Door-knocking flyers branded to each agent

  • Scripts, dialogues, and accountability rhythms

  • Brivity Marketer for quick print and digital assets
    This turns daily effort into measurable results.


4. Internet Leads
Today’s buyers start online. We stay visible and ready through:

  • Social media and pay-per-click advertising

  • SEO optimization and Brivity website leads

  • Automated follow-up plans and mailers

  • Dedicated staff support to manage response times
    Speed to lead and systemized follow-up make online leads a powerful pillar for growth.


5. Listing Leads
Listings are the leverage point of any business. PLACE helps agents master:

  • Predictive seller tools and targeted advertising

  • CMA collateral and listing presentations

  • Dedicated admin and marketing support

  • Training on pricing, negotiation, and client experience
    Strong listing systems mean more sign calls, more referrals, and more credibility in every neighborhood.


6. ISA & Other Opportunities
This pillar supports growth through internal and referral-based systems:

  • Hand-off opportunities from team ISAs

  • Training and certifications through PLACE

  • Past-client marketing and repeat business programs

  • Networking events and production rhythms
    It’s where structure meets opportunity—turning potential into closings.



Every part of this model connects to one goal: helping agents serve more clients, with less chaos and more support. When systems, technology, and accountability come together, results follow.
