Breaking the Catch-22: How Brokers and Agents Can Finally Win at Real Estate Training

Let’s get right to the heart of the matter: There is a Persistent Catch-22 that keeps many Real Estate Brokerages Stuck, especially when it comes to Training New Agents. On one side, Brokers know their New Agents need to Master the Fundamentals - Prospecting, Time-Blocking, Scripts, Asking for Listings, and the Daily Disciplines that truly Build a Business. But here is the Reality: Most Brokers are running Lean Operations.  

Franchisees and Brokers have Bills to Pay, Offices to Keep Open, and their Own Production to maintain. The idea of dedicating hours to Hands-On Training - or paying for Outside Programs - feels risky, especially when there is NO guarantee the New Agent will show up to the training, will focus on learning during the session, will implement what is taught, or even stay long enough to make it worthwhile. For many Brokers, investing in Training feels like Money Down the Drain if the Agent is NOT truly committed. 

On the other side, New Agents often arrive Expecting their Broker to provide All the Training they need - “Isn’t that why I joined this Brokerage?” But when it comes time to invest in their Own Education, many hesitate. Sometimes it is about Money, sometimes it is about Commitment, and sometimes it is just a “Let’s See if Real Estate is for me” mentality. So, Both Sides Wait for the Other to make the First Move. The Broker hesitates to invest; the Agent waits for Training to be provided for Free. The result? The Status Quo lingers: New Agents remain Underprepared, and Brokerages struggle with High Turnover and Underperformance. 

This is the Silent Struggle at the core of our industry. Too many Agents - regardless of how long they have been Licensed - never truly Master the Basics. We should call them The Fundamentals; they are Not flashy, but they are the Foundation of every Successful Real Estate Career. Until both Brokers and Agents break this cycle - by treating Training as a Non-Negotiable Investment in Long-Term Success - this Catch-22 will continue to hold back the Potential of Individuals and Entire Offices. 

The Solution: Skin in the Game - a Win-Win Approach to Training

Here is a question I get from Brokers all the time: 

“Key, I don’t mind paying for my Agents to take Production Training, but I want to make sure they attend, do the work, and become productive. I also want them to have Skin in the Game. Any ideas?” 

Here is what years of Coaching and Training have taught me: Brokers should pay for Results, NOT just for Training. The best way to break the cycle is to treat your Agents as Entrepreneurs, NOT as helpless individuals. Entrepreneurs Invest in Themselves. They pay for their Tools, their Education, and their Growth. Learning to pay for Training is a necessary skill for anyone running a Business. 

Here is a Proven Structure that creates Accountability, Motivation, and Results: 

***The Skin in the Game Training Model*** 

• Let’s Look at an example: Take the 6-Week Prospecting for Listings Training Program. The Training is $399, and those who register a week prior and fill out the Requirements save $100 and only pay $299.

• The Brokers who believe this is an important training program tell their Agents: “I would like you to consider to the upcoming 6-Week Training; you Pay for it and it will be free to you!” -- this is How it works: 

• Self-Investment: Agents Register and Pay for the Training Program Upfront. This step alone filters out the Dabblers and signals Real Commitment. 

• Agent MUST Register Early: This way they benefit from early assignments and Save $100. 

• Full Participation: Agents must attend All Classes and Complete Every Assignment. No Shortcuts, No Excuses. 

• Certification Requirement: Agents Earn a Certificate of Completion - awarded only to those who Follow the Program, Honor the Pledge, and Do the Work. (The Requirements document spells out the simple steps.) 

• Broker 1st Incentive: Having Completed the Training and having Earned a Certificate of Completion the Agent is awarded $100 in Marketing Dollars towards their Business: Signs; Flyers; CRM; or any Real Estate Tool. This effectively means the Agent has paid $199 for the Training.  

• Production Phase: After Training, Agents Go Out and Start Producing - Applying what they have learned in the Real World. 

• Broker’s 2nd Incentive: The next 2 Residential Listings gotten and Closed by the Trained Agent within 6 months of finishing the training, the Broker reimburses the Agent $100 per closing. The Broker is effectively Paying for the Training - but Only When it produces Measurable Results. 

Why This Works

• For the Brokerage: You gain Motivated, Well-Trained Agents who Contribute to your Listings and Overall Success. We know that Listings build Brokerages.

• For the Agents: They gain Valuable Skills, Achieve Tangible Results, and feel a Sense of Pride and Ownership in their Growth. 

• For You, the Broker: You make a Smart Investment in your Team’s Productivity, but your Support is Contingent on their Commitment and Results. 

If an Agent does NOT take the Training seriously or fails to complete it, the Responsibility is theirs - Not yours. This approach builds Accountability and reinforces the Importance of Personal Investment in their Career. 

The Path Forward: The Catch-22 around Training does NOT have to be a Permanent Fixture in our Industry. Shift the Mindset from “Who Pays for Training?” to “Who is Committed to Results?” and you will create a Culture of Ownership, Accountability, and Growth. When both Brokers and Agents have Skin in the Game, everyone wins. 

If you are ready to Break the Cycle and Build a Team of Confident, Productive Agents, consider this approach for your next Training Investment. Treat Training as a Partnership, Not a Handout. The Results will speak for themselves. Here is a PDF of this Article.

The Mindset Shift: Why Prospecting for Listings Is the Real Estate Game Changer

Let’s get right to the heart of what truly drives a thriving Real Estate Career: the ability to Consistently Prospect for Listings. If you’ve ever found yourself pushing prospecting to the back burner; telling yourself you’ll get to it “when things slow down” or “when you have more confidence”; you are Not alone. But let’s be honest: that’s Not how Real Estate success is built. 

My Mission: Empowering Confident, Consistent Prospectors 

My mission is simple: to empower agents and brokers to become Confident, Consistent Prospectors. That’s the bottom line. I am not here to fill your head with theory or give you another binder of ideas that never see the light of day. I am here to help you build the Daily Habits, Mindset, and Skills that turn knowledge into Action - and action into results. Related Video:

The Industry Myth: “Start with Buyers, Graduate to Listings” 

There is a persistent myth in our industry that you should start your career working with buyers, and only after you have “paid your dues” are you ready to go after listings. I believe that’s a false idea. From day one, agents should be learning to Prospect for Listings. Why? Because listings are the engine that drives your business, your Confidence, and your Reputation in the community. By The way, by learning the Skills of Becoming a Listing Agent you also become a much better Buyer’s Agent because you will Learn to Defend Your Value!  

Action Over Theory: The Foundation of Real Estate Success 

Knowledge is important – It is the foundation of your Listing Playbook. But it is the Action you take that matters most. Real Estate is built on Daily Activities, Not occasional bursts of effort. Prospecting isn’t something you do when business is slow; it is a Non-Negotiable, Daily Discipline. One hour a day, preferably two, dedicated to prospecting will transform your business and your mindset. 

The Power of “Ten” Listings 

Let me paint you a big picture: Ten listings a year should be your minimum. Why? Because when you learn to secure ten listings, you don’t just build your confidence - you create Local Visibility, Engagement, and a ripple effect of future business. Listings generate more listings. They make you the go-to agent in your area. And here’s the secret: when you commit to ten listings, you will often find yourself closing eighteen, twenty, or even twenty-five transactions a year, thanks to the momentum and energy those listings create. 

Prospecting Is a Mindset - Not Just an Activity 

Prospecting is Not about being “salesy” or manipulative. It is about Authentic Engagement - Face-to-Face and on the Phone. Everything else you do - social media, blogs, websites - should funnel toward real conversations and appointments. The real work is picking up the phone, knocking on doors, and having meaningful, value-driven conversations with homeowners. 

To do this well, you need a Good Foundation of about 2 Dozen Scripts that have been adapted to your voice/style; you also need the Right Prospecting Mindset; a Clear Schedule; Time-Blocking Skills; Trackable Accountability, and the courage to overcome the fear of rejection. That voice in your head that says, “Don’t do it, they’ll say no” - that’s the barrier we break through together during the Training Program. 

Who Is This Training For? 

Let me be clear: my 6-Week Prospecting for Listings Training is Not for everyone. If you are treating Real Estate as a side gig, or you are not ready to commit to the daily discipline required, this isn’t the right fit. But if you are Full-Time - or aspiring to become full-time in a few months - and you want to master the fundamentals of prospecting, asking for business, and building a reputation as a listing agent, this program is for you. 

The Real Investment: Your Future Confidence 

This six-week journey is an investment in your future. You will learn how to prospect in a non-salesy, authentic way. You Will develop the mindset, scripts, affirmations, and time-blocks that make prospecting a natural part of your business. Most importantly, you will build the confidence to engage homeowners and earn the listings you deserve. 

If you’re Not getting the listings you want, if you are Not being seen as the go-to listing agent in your market, it is time to do something about it. The path is clear: consistent prospecting, daily action, and a mindset focused on service and growth. 

I hope to see you at our next 6-Week Prospecting for Listings Training - or at one of my events. Until then, keep taking Bold Action, Keep Prospecting, Welcome Gratitude into Your Life, and keep building the business you deserve.

The Real Value of Prospecting Mastery: Why Action, Not Theory, Builds Real Estate Careers

Let’s have a candid conversation about what truly moves the needle in a Real Estate Career. If you’ve been in this business for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that information is everywhere - Webinars, Podcasts, Web Pages, and endless advice on how to “Get More Business.” Yet, despite all this knowledge, most agents still struggle with the same challenge: turning what they know into consistent, measurable results. 

Why is that? Because in Real Estate, Action eats knowledge for breakfast. It’s not what you know, but what you do - Day In and Day Out - that determines your success. 

The Myth of “Order-Taking” and the Reality of Listings 

One of the most persistent myths in our industry is that working with buyers is the natural starting point for new agents. I hear it all the time: “Get a few buyers under your belt, then you will be ready for listings.” But let’s be honest - this mindset keeps too many agents stuck in a cycle of chasing leads, reacting to market shifts, and hoping the next call will be “the one.” 

The truth? Listings are Not given - They are Earned. And the agents who build sustainable, thriving businesses are the ones who make Prospecting for Listings a Non-Negotiable part of their routine. They don’t wait for the market to hand them opportunities; they create them through Intentional, Courageous Consistent Action. 

Why Prospecting Is the Cornerstone of a Real Estate Career? 

If you look at the Professionals who consistently close 20, 30, or even 40 deals a year, you will find a common thread: they Prospect Daily. Not occasionally, Not when they feel like it, but every single day. They understand that every call, every door knock, every follow-up is a deposit into their future success. 

But let’s be clear - prospecting isn’t about being pushy or “salesy.” It is about Service. It is about showing up in your community, offering value, and Building Relationships rooted in Trust and Expertise. When you prospect with the Right Mindset, you are not just looking for your next deal – you are positioning yourself as the advisor homeowners turn to when it is time to make a move. 

Turning Knowledge into Action: The Missing Ingredient 

Over the years, I have seen countless agents attend training after training, fill notebooks with ideas, and still struggle to implement what they’ve learned. Why? Because most programs focus on theory, not on the Daily Disciplines that drive results. 

That’s why my approach is different. In every Workshop, Boot-Camp, Coaching, and Training Program I design, the emphasis is on Activity-Based Learning. We don’t just talk about scripts - we practice them. We don’t just discuss time-blocking - we build your calendar together. We don’t just review market reports - you create your own and use them in real conversations with Local Homeowners. 

The goal is simple: to help you build a Production Playbook that you can rely on, not just for a few weeks, but for the rest of your career. 

What Makes the 6-Week Prospecting for Listings Training Unique? 

This upcoming 6-Week Training Program is not another “sit and listen” seminar. It is a rigorous, hands-on experience designed for Agents and Brokers who are ready to move beyond the order-taker mentality and embrace the habits of top producers. 

Here is what you can expect: 

• Structured, Live Sessions: Each week, we meet live (with cameras on!) to dive deep into the skills that matter -time-blocking, prospecting scripts, listing presentations, and more. You will receive detailed handouts, participate in group activities, and leave each session with clear, actionable assignments. 

• Self-Directed Learning: In between live sessions, you will work through targeted video modules and practical assignments that reinforce what you’ve learned and push you to apply it in your business. 

• Accountability and Support: You will track your weekly production, record short script videos, and create real market reports for your local area. This isn’t busywork - it is the foundation of a business that grows by design, Not by accident. 

• A Focus on Mindset: We tackle the real obstacles - fear of rejection, reluctance to prospect, and the comfort of complacency. You will learn how to reframe setbacks, embrace accountability, and build the confidence that comes from doing the work, not just thinking about it. 

Who Is This For? 

This program is for the Agent/Broker who is ready to take ownership of their career. Whether you are new to Real Estate or a seasoned professional looking to sharpen your edge, the principles are the same: consistent action, disciplined routines, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. 

If you are tired of waiting for business to come to you, if you are ready to build a pipeline of listings that fuels your income and your reputation, this training is designed for you - more details here. 

The Real Value: Transformation, Not Just Information 

I don’t claim to make agents successful - you do that through your own commitment and follow-through. But what I can promise is a roadmap, a structure, and a community that supports your growth. The agents who have gone through my programs often say the same thing: “This isn’t just about learning - it is about becoming the professional I always wanted to become.” 

You will leave with more than just scripts and checklists. You will leave with a new mindset, a clear plan, and the confidence to prospect for listings in any market. 

Final Thoughts: Action Is the Only Shortcut 

There are No shortcuts in Real Estate. Technology will change, markets will shift, but the fundamentals remain: those who Prospect, Serve, and Stay Accountable will always have a place at the top. 

If you are ready to move from knowing to doing, from hoping to achieving, I invite you to embrace the discipline of daily prospecting. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s worth it. 

Your future self - the one with a thriving business, a steady stream of listings, and the respect of your community - will thank you for the actions you take today. Let’s get to work.

Frequently Asked Questions of the Spring 2025 Real Estate Boot-Camp

Feb 23rd, 2025: Announcing the May-July 2025 Boot-Camp — Register No later than April 28, 2025.

As a Production Strategist and Real Estate Educator, I have spent years fine-tuning an intensive, 3-month Boot-Camp designed to nurture Authentic Professionals - Not mere salespeople. Below you will find answers to the most common Questions I receive about the Boot-Camp, along with some Personal Insights into my teaching style, the Importance of Accountability, and why Focusing on Listings is vital for long-term success. If you have ever wondered whether this program is right for you, read on. My hope is that you will walk away with a clear picture of the rewards, requirements, and reasons this Boot-Camp has helped so many take their careers to new heights. 

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY: ACTION OVER THEORY:  I began designing these Boot-Camps after witnessing countless agents struggle because they didn’t treat real estate like a True Business. My approach combines two decades of real estate experience with my background in academic teaching. I believe in walking you step-by-step through what needs to be done - “how to do it,” “when to do it,” and “why it matters” - so that you finish the program with a tangible Production Playbook. 

“Everyone knows you need to Prospect for new business in Real Estate, but how many know exactly how to engage in a Non-Salesy Way? Or how to Schedule Daily Prospecting blocks, handle rejections gracefully, or Follow Up Methodically? By the end of the Boot-Camp, you will have Clarity on the day-to-day actions that turn you Getting Listings from a wish into a predictable reality.”

WHAT IS THE REAL ESTATE TRAINING BOOT-CAMP?  This Boot-Camp is more than information – it is a Structured, Hands-On Experience that transforms your Mindset, Daily Habits, and readiness to serve Sellers and Buyers alike. Whether you are a full-time agent or aiming to be within the next nine months, expect to dedicate about 3-5 hours each week over three months. The Spring session starts with Onboarding the week of February 10th, 2025, followed by five live, 2½-hour sessions (Feb 21, Mar 7, Mar 21, Apr 4, and Apr 18). In the in-between weeks, you will receive a self-directed training video, a handout, and assignments for deeper skill building.

WHY THE EMPHASIS ON GETTING LISTINGS?  Many agents shy away from the heavy lifting of listing acquisition, but the reality is simple: Sellers create the marketplace. Yes, we love helping Buyers, but focusing exclusively on Buyers can lead to burnout. On the flip side, once you master the art of getting Listings, the Buyers naturally find you. Historically, 15% of agents - those adept at securing listings - conduct 80% of all real estate sales nationwide. 

“Without Home Sellers, there is No Real Estate Business. Agents who learn to get listings create sustaining, growth-oriented careers rather than facing sporadic income or constant buyer-based chaos.”

Together, you track weekly production, share video scripts, and report wins and challenges.

“No one stumbles into greatness. It is created through daily, accountable practice. Each participant in the Boot-Camp commits to a quick morning routine, an end-of-day assessment, and a weekly check-in with their Success Partners. This fosters a sense of ownership that leads to remarkable growth - not just professionally, but personally, too.” 

BOOT-CAMP REQUIREMENTS & PROGRAM STRUCTURE: 

☐  Full Participation: You must attend all five live Zoom sessions (2½ hours each). If an emergency arises, you may make up a session in our designated Bonus Live Session. 

☐  Self-Directed Sessions: On the weeks without live training (Feb 28, Mar 14, Mar 28, Apr 11, Apr 25), you will watch a one-hour video, complete assignments, and discuss them with your Success Partners. 

☐  The Participation Pledge: This isn’t a casual course – it is a commitment to consistent, daily action. You will sign and return a Pledge document to confirm you will bring a positive attitude and follow through on each assignment.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TRAININGS?  Lots of real estate seminars promise shortcuts. I take a different approach: an immersive, 3-month process that sets you up with a repeatable, day-by-day strategy. My Syllabus covers everything from building your CRM to canvassing strategies, listing presentations, time-blocking, and more.

My mission isn’t to churn out quick-fix solutions – it is to Empower and transform agents into Genuine Professionals that local communities trust. I love seeing each participant become their best self, taking ownership for their existence, and forging a sustainable, rewarding real estate career.

The Power of Listings and Accountability: Why My Boot-Camps are Designed for Serious Realtors

Let’s talk about the heart of Real Estate Accomplishments and why my Boot-Camps are designed for the agents who are ready to take their business to the Next Level.

You may have heard about my Rigorous Boot-Camps from your broker or perhaps a colleague who has completed one. Let me break down what these programs are truly about. I focus on two major ideas that define your growth as a Real Estate Professional: Accountability and Mastering the Skills and Activities of Getting Listings. These are the building blocks of a thriving real estate career.

Why Listings? Listings are Not just opportunities - they are the cornerstone of a Strong Career in Real Estate. Yes, buyers play an important role, but learning to consistently Get Listings gives you control over your Growth. Listings are Not handed to you; they are earned through the Right Activities, Daily Dedication, and the Mindset of a Prospector. My Boot-Camps are all about Developing that Mindset and Discipline.

We Prospect Daily - at least one hour, though those who excel push themselves to two hours a day. It is these consistent activities that lead to Long-Term Results. That’s why my Boot-Camps span three months, including our upcoming Nov/Dec/Jan Program.

Why Three Months? It takes time to build Lasting Good Habits, especially habits like Prospecting and mastering Listing Scripts. Three months gives you the space to learn, apply, and refine your Skills in a way that becomes second nature. You’ll learn how to communicate your Value to sellers, how to Lead with Confidence, and how to develop a Business Plan focused on High Production and Accountability.

If you are coasting along without a real plan, or perhaps just "winging it," this Boot-Camp is for you. You’ll walk away with more than just knowledge – you will leave with a playbook for your business and the skills to confidently go after listings.

Designed for the Hungry Realtor: This Boot-Camp is Not for the faint-hearted. It is for Realtors who are ready to fish, not just sit on the sidelines. You will be challenged to step outside your comfort zone because that’s where True Growth happens. I designed this Boot-Camp for the hungry realtor - the one who is ready to hit the ground running and Consistently Prospect, day in and day out.

For me, Discipline isn’t a Punishment – it is a Blessing. And if you’re committed to applying that discipline, you’ll see the rewards in your career. As I always say in my Boot-Camps: “Consistency beats Perfection; Minimum Activities generate Momentum; and Dedication welcomes Accountability, creating Mastery.”

Are You Ready? If you’re serious about making progress and joining a community of like-minded agents who are ready to thrive in 2025, then I encourage you to apply. The process starts with a Questionnaire, followed by a One-on-One interview, and a Pledge to commit fully.

Average is Not your goal - and it is certainly Not the goal of my Boot-Camps. Let’s make progress together and master the art of Getting Listings.

The Cave You Fear to Enter: Revealing the Disciplined Path to Real Estate Success

In the world of Real Estate, Success isn’t just about Knowing the Market, having the right connections, or even mastering the latest technologies. It is about consistently taking the actions that most agents avoid - the Uncomfortable, often Daunting Tasks that lead to Growth and Long-Term Accomplishments. Joseph Campbell once said, “The Cave you Fear to enter holds the Treasure you Seek,” and this couldn’t be more relevant to Real Estate Agents and Brokers today.

The Fear that Holds You Back -- Through my years of training and coaching in the real estate industry, I’ve observed a common thread among some Agents and Brokers: a tendency to Avoid the very activities that can propel their careers forward. Whether it is Prospecting, Phone Canvassing, Making Recruiting Calls, or Following Up with CRM Leads, these actions are often sidestepped, Not because agents don’t know they’re important, but because of underlying Fears, Hesitations, lack of Accountability, and let’s be honest Complacency.

Let’s break down some of the reasons Agents and Brokers avoid these Crucial Tasks:

1. Fear of Facing the Truth: Many agents are afraid to confront the reality that they might Not be as Skilled or as Professional as they think they are. They worry that if they fully commit to Prospecting and still don’t see success, it might confirm their worst fears. This fear keeps them from stepping into the "cave," where they could truly discover their Potential.

2. The Illusion of Tomorrow: This is a Big One! It’s all too easy to push action to the next day, with the hope that tomorrow will bring better circumstances, more confidence, or a clearer plan. But this habit of Procrastination becomes a cycle that prevents real progress. I tell my Boot-Camp Participants: “Progress beats Perfection every time - Keep Moving Forward, even if it’s Not Perfect…”

3. The Reluctance to Do the Work: There’s a common desire among agents to find shortcuts or magic bullets - something that will make the process easier or quicker. But Real Estate Success isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about Consistent hard work. The treasure isn’t found on the surface; it’s buried deep within the Daily Grind of Prospecting and Follow-Up.

4. Comfort and Complacency: Some agents become too comfortable where they are, which leads to Complacency. They’ve established a routine that feels safe, but that safety is deceptive. True growth happens Outside of the comfort zone; -- So, Yes we risk hearing “No” and accept that it is part of our job, realizing that working with people is both wonderful and at times disorienting.

5. The What-Ifs: Agents often worry about the negative consequences of their actions - what if they’re rejected, what if they don’t secure the listing, what if they make a mistake? These "what-ifs" create a barrier that keeps them from entering the cave. But by avoiding these challenges, they also miss out on the rewards that come from Taking Risks and pushing forward.

6. Lack of a Strategy Playbook: You’ve got to have a Playbook that you layer over your Calendar. Waking up in the morning hoping that the phone will ring and Not a Strategy. Hoping that Past Clients will call you with a Referral is Not one either. Consider shifting from an Order-Taking Mindset to a Pro-Active one.

Stepping into the Cave -- The cave that agents fear isn’t just a metaphor - it’s a real, tangible place where The Work of Prospecting, Engaging with potential clients, and Building Relationships takes place. It is Uncomfortable, it is Uncertain, and it is often where agents face the most resistance. But it’s also where the riches of success are hidden.

So how do you overcome these fears and step into the cave? Here are some insights:

1. Shift Your Mindset: Start by reframing your fears. Instead of seeing Prospecting as a dreaded task, view it as an Opportunity to grow, learn, and improve. Every “No” you encounter is one step closer to a “Yes.” What if you are not quite adept at Prospecting? -- then take Training Classes or Ask your Broker for Solutions; Make the Decision to become a better Prospector then seek Solutions.

2. Take Consistent Action: Success in real estate isn’t about doing something once and hoping for the best. It’s about showing up every day, ready to Take Action, even when it’s uncomfortable. For example, require yourself to have a minimum number of Real Estate Calls and Conversations every work day: 10 would be a good start.

3. Build Accountability: Surround yourself with a Supportive Network - whether it’s a coach, a mentor, or a peer group. Accountability Partners can help push you when your own motivation falters and ensure you’re taking the steps needed to succeed.

4. Consider Affirmations: Positive Self-Talk can mute the Negative Tape we all have that keeps warning us of failure or reminding us we are not good enough. An Affirmation such as: “I Confront my Fears and take Bold Actions; the Success I Seek is within my Reach.” Will not change your life instantly, but will send a signal to your mind that you have what it takes to Grow and Prosper.

The Treasure Awaits -- The Activities that Real Estate Agents and Brokers avoid are Not just tasks on a to-do list - they’re the very keys to unlocking success in this industry. By embracing the discomfort of Prospecting for New Busines, you don’t just find the value you seek - you become the Professional you were meant to be. Remember, the cave you fear to enter is the place where your success lies hidden. Take the step, face the fear, and discover the riches that await. Your future self will thank you for it.

If you are seeking a Comprehensive Real Estate Playbook you may want to consider the Upcoming Nov/Dec/Jan 3-Month Real Estate Training Boot-Camp. It is Not a program for the faint of hearts, but if a Successful Real Estate Career is what you seek and are ready to Pay your Dues, it may prove a handsome investment.

How Detailed Notes integrated in your CRM give you an Edge

Being a Good Real Estate Agent will no longer be sufficient to thrive in this Industry, you MUST become a Great Real Estate Professional. Good Real Estate Agents are Great Conversationalist and Great Listeners. But Great Real Estate Professionals are Great Note-Takers as well; they summarize each Consultation/Conversation/Presentation and place said Notes in their CRM for future review, follow up, and “Next Action” Activities. They are smart and do NOT use their Minds as Information Storage, nor expect to recall every single detail or every single conversation they have with their clients.

You see, your Dentist does it; your Doctor Does it; your Pharmacist Does it; even your Regular Car Maintenance Service Shop does it as well -- they “Take Notes” after every visit. They basically document a little of what you told them, what they worked on, and when there should be a Follow Up. They also make sure they Date and Timestamp all their notes, so they can go back and see if there is a pattern, potential conflict, or future opportunities.

Keep these ideas in mind when taking Good Real Estate Notes:

Get a CRM: I can’t emphasize this enough. A proper Real Estate CRM like Wise Agent (and there are others) is integrated with your Calendar, your Note-Taking, your Activities, and each note you add is Date and Timestamped.

Names and Relationships: Write down the Names of people mentioned and their relationship to your client. This helps in building rapport and understanding the client's support system.

Client Motivation: Understand and document why your client wants to buy or sell. This insight allows you to tailor your approach and meet their needs effectively.

Addresses: Their Existing Property Address; their desired type of property and details; Neighborhood Amenities; and more importantly Lifestyle/Work needs and desires.

Special Dates and Milestones: Keep track of significant dates like anniversaries, birthdays, and planned events. Remembering these can impress clients and strengthen your relationship.

Financial Considerations: Note any financial concerns or constraints. This helps in setting realistic expectations and finding suitable solutions.

Major Objections: Record any objections raised and whether they were addressed successfully. This prepares you for future discussions and objections that might arise.

Potential Friction Points: Anticipate and document possible challenges. Proactively addressing these can prevent issues down the line.

Armed with these Notes you are now ready to put together a “Plan of Action” specific to this Client’s Needs. You also have a way to go back and defend any misunderstanding that may arise in future disagreements. But more significantly, these notes will play a Big Role in your Follow-Up and Referral Success.

Remember this Adage: “Actions Speak, but Documented Actions Last.”

Mid-Year Reset: Strategies to Recalibrate and Re-Ignite Your Real Estate Goals

As we hit the midway mark of 2024, it's time to Re-Ignite Our Goals and get back On Track. Real Estate can be a tough industry, and the summer months often bring a sense of lethargy. The heat, the distractions, and the sense of a long year already behind us can make us feel off our game. But what sets you apart as above-average professionals is your Mental Toughness and Resilience. Whether you've had a great first half or faced challenges, now is the time to recharge and push forward.

Reflect and Recalibrate: First, whatever feelings you are having are natural. It's normal to feel frustrated or burnt out a bit this time of the year. The Real Estate Industry has seen its fair share of News and Changes this year, and it's easy to let those external factors influence our mindset. However, it’s crucial to Recalibrate and Not let these feelings dictate your goals. We can't change the past six months, but we can fine-tune our approach for the next six.

Activity Creates Reality: Remember, Activity creates your Business Reality. Knowing what you want to achieve is only the beginning; Taking Action is what generates results. Decide today that you will control your actions. Focus on what you can control: your Prospecting, your Follow-Ups, and your Daily Routines. Don’t worry about the noise about the market, the news, or the economy - Focus on your actions.

--- Article continues following Video:

Consistent Prospecting: Consistency is key in Prospecting. The agents who regularly ask for business are the ones who succeed. It’s not about being the smartest or having the most information; it’s about constantly reaching out. Dust off your prospecting plan, get a coach or mentor, or join one of my Intensive Boot-Camps if you need a push. Whether you know what to do and need motivation or need help prioritizing your tasks, taking action on your Prospecting is vital.

Work the Plan: If you have a plan, Work It. Don't fixate on immediate results. It’s rare to get a listing from a single call. It often takes 10, 15, or even 20 calls to secure an appointment. Dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to generating new business. Call people you know, reach out on social media, or use a list provided by your brokerage. Afterwards, take a break to recharge.

Spend another 30 minutes on Follow-Up Calls. Just because someone hasn’t responded doesn’t mean they’re not interested. It’s Your Responsibility to follow up. Finally, spend 30 minutes working your sphere of influence and referrals. Engage with your community, Face to Face, whether through Market Reports, Open Houses, or attending events. Dedicate at least two hours a week to community activities.

Embrace Practical Intelligence: Your Mindset is your most Powerful Tool, and Practical Intelligence is crucial. Practical intelligence in Real Estate involves Knowing What to Say, Whom to say it to, When to say it, and How to say it for Maximum Effect. Dust off your Scripts and make them your own. Scripts are roadmaps to guide your conversations with different types of clients, whether they are expired listings, FSBOs, or hesitant buyers. Continuously tweak and refine your scripts to suit your style and needs.

As we move into the second half of the year, remember that your success is driven by your actions. Stay focused, stay consistent, and use practical intelligence to guide your interactions. Whether you are recalibrating your goals or pushing through the summer slump, know that you have The Resilience and Mental Toughness to achieve Greatness.

Stay Motivated and let’s make the rest of 2024 our best yet!

The 6 Questions You Must Ask Before Considering the Summer 2024 Boot-Camp

Consider the Production 2025 Training Boot-Camp starting Nov 2024.

Before we dive into the Details of the Boot-Camp, I’d like to invite you to reflect on a few Critical Questions. These questions are designed to Challenge your current Strategies and Mindset. If any of them resonate with you, it’s a clear sign that our Boot-Camp can significantly Support your Long-Term Success Goals and elevate your real estate career to new heights:

☐  Are you securing the Listings you truly Deserve?

☐  Do you have a Strategic Production Playbook to consistently achieve your Sales Goals?

☐  Are your current Listings’ Presentations and Buyers’ Consultations compliant with the latest NAR Settlement and DOJ guidelines?

☐  Do you have Effective Strategies and Scripts in place for Ethically handling sellers and buyers in the market after August 17th and avoid Steering?

☐  How Confident are you in your ability to present your Value Propositions to enhance your service and stand out as a Top Fiduciary?

☐  Is it time for you to Commit to Getting the Results you are Capable of and Welcome Accountability?

Why Join the Summer 2024 Listings and Production Boot-Camp?

The Summer 2024 Listings and Production Boot-Camp starts in a couple of weeks, and this is the last week Participants can earn a $100 Scholarship towards the cost of the 3-Month Training Program.

The Biggest reason our Agents Don’t Ask for Business consistently is the lack of a “Listings and Production Playbook.” Lack of Confidence does not come from Laziness; it comes from not having the Proper Scripts; Learning to deliver them in a Non-Salesy Way; Adding Structure and Priorities for creating Appointments; and more importantly lack of Accountability. Real Estate is a Numbers’ Game in which we Go Through the “No’s” to Get the “Yes’s” we Deserve -- this Intensive Training Boot-Camp was designed to Provide you with that Playbook. (At the end of the Course you will end up with a Binder that is at least 2 inches thick; and have access to over 30 Training Videos.)
