Vision and growth

You can’t just say you’re not going to grow this year because you’re in a declining market. In today’s Coaching Tip, I’ll explain the importance of vision and growth inside of your business, especially in today’s marketplace.

The challenge is that you actually had a built-in pay increase over the past two years, and now you’re seeing a decrease. What goes up the most comes down the most. I’ll tell you what you can do over the next 12 months to change the game and turn that around.

I’ll show you how small increases can make a big difference in your overall result and how to increase your volume of sales. It always comes down to a system or a person, and I’ll show you where to improve so you can build your formula for success.

This is a critical time for vision and growth as we see days on market increase. I’ll tell you how the right system can shorten days on market and improve your clearance rate to balance your business. Let’s get you back on the radar of your goals, starting now.

Fast Pace Ep 81 – Business models

In this Fast Pace episode, Dean Mackie and Josh Phegan talk about choosing a business model. They examine the evolution of business models and where each type works best, franchises and dissatisfactions with those that don’t deliver, the independent agency, the current shared services model, and choosing the model that will take you where you want to go.

Ep 343 – The one percenters

This High Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents features Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips on predicting markets. Real estate is all about the one-percenters, and Josh leads off with a look at the buyer’s point of view. Alex overviews the structure around scheduling private appointments and essentially pressing 4 weeks of open for inspections into 2, resulting in a shorter timeframe for a full campaign.

Alex shares a case study, explains why vendor meetings are so important, and tells how to keep yourself at least 10% ahead of all your competition.

Consistent flow

You know the power of open for inspections for generating leads. But you need a consistent flow of them every Saturday, and in this Coaching Tip, I’ll show you how to get those opens and always have plenty of campaigns.

The best agents make sure they always have plenty of listings off-market that are available to put on market if they’re needed to maintain that even flow of opens every Saturday. You want to stop the surging of multiple opens one Saturday and none the next.

Maintaining consistent flow changes everything about your lead generation. It allows you to get everything out of your callbacks and campaigns. I’ll help you avoid soft listing, and use your off-market listings to prepare for your upcoming January 2023 campaigns.

Fast Pace Ep 80 – Advice and feedback

Today on Fast Pace, Dean Mackie and Josh Phegan talk about living life on purpose and inspiring others to grow. They define advice vs. feedback and discuss ways an individual may prefer to accept your input. They show how to communicate your intent, avoid the advice trap, and create a safe, supportive environment where people can be more receptive. 

Valueless

You see conflict and misalignment everywhere in business today. In this Growth, Leadership and Management Tip, I’ll show you what it means for your organisation to be valueless and how to remove points of friction and stop wasting energy.

You’ve got to have a clear set of values in your business, and your people have to know what those values are. I’ll tell you what I mean by deep integration and why it needs to be in place whenever I go to train with a company.

It’s abundantly clear when a business doesn’t have a set of values. I’ll show you what that looks like and how it prevents people from making appropriate decisions. And I’ll tell you how to empower your people to do great work, so you’re free to do what you do best.

I’ll show you how to integrate your values into every aspect of your organisational culture. Don’t let your business be valueless. Clarify your values and keep repeating them every day. Your value-driven culture will allow you to scale and do great things.

Cross selling and sold

As an agent in a declining market, you have an amazing opportunity to boost the confidence of buyers and sellers. In my Coaching Tip today, I’ll show you how to do cross selling and sold in a way that sets you up for your next sale.

Most agents are in a rush to put up the sold sticker, and they have no plan for what happens after. I’ll tell you what great agents do before they affix that sold sticker, so they can shift buyers from one campaign to the next, and cross sell another property.

It’s doing the work in the moment that makes the difference in your overall success. I’ll explain why you want to call each buyer instead of blasting the sale through email and SMS. Building buyer confidence and relationships are the way you sell more properties.

Your job is to communicate with people in powerful ways. Cross sell and sold is the process that takes you further than just the sale itself. Those leftover buyers probably still want to buy a home. Don’t miss that opportunity to get to sold over and over again.

Fast Pace Ep 79 – Running a great sales meeting

This Fast Pace episode features Dean Mackie and Josh Phegan discussing what’s needed for running a great sales meeting. They look at energy management, productive use of time, recognition for great sales, and making it fun. They show why you need rules and an agenda, and they note that people should leave the meeting knowing what to do next.

Ep 341 – Power of teams and workflow

Today’s High Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents features Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips on the power of teams and workflow. Josh begins with the idea that you grow a team so you can do more transactions more often. Alex observes that some agents have their junior agents doing prospecting calls and generating leads instead of helping them grow and setting goals for them. They talk about Alex’s high expectations and why that actually makes him easier to work for.

They continue with a look at systems and processes, challenging your people to keep up with you so they get as good as you, how business growth comes down to a person or a system, and building market share by staying in momentum and always running.
