Real Estate Business Success: The Art of Apologizing

Filed under: Success Tips

As a real estate agent, have you ever made a mistake? Of course, we all have! Mistakes happen in the course of running a real estate business, even when we’ve taken every precaution to prevent them.

So, the question shouldn’t be “Have you ever made a mistake?,” but “What did you do about it?” That’s the tough question.

Today, I read a great article about a company who’s perfected the art of apologizing for mistakes. They send humble pies to keep clients happy.

What do you do when you make a mistake in your real estate business? Make sure you don’t just brush it under the rug. Address it head on in a positive manner, and you’ll find even greater success as a real estate agent.

To boosting your leads,

Kathy Goughenour

If You Want to Increase Revenues, You Must Bring On An Assistant

Filed under: Success Tips

This Success Tip is from Fabienne Fredrickson, The Client Attraction Mentor

If you want to grow your business, hands-down, you need an assistant. And by “grow,” I really mean “make more money.” Oh, I know what you’re thinking! “I don’t make enough money to hire an assistant yet. That’s just not something that I can do right now.”

I know you’re thinking this because I thought the same thing too, at first. I resisted working with a Virtual Assistant (VA) for over a year. Then I tried it because I didn’t have any other choice. I was so busy working on client projects and actually seeing clients that I didn’t have time to market my business.

But once I hired a VA, I nearly doubled my revenues. I finally had time to work on getting more clients and taking care of the aspects of the business that actually MAKE me money. (more…)

Want More Real Estate Buyer Leads? Reset Your Success Temperature

Filed under: Success Tips

This Success Tip is from Kyle French of Single Track Agent.

Have you ever wondered why some agents make $25,000 in their first year and others, who pull in more real estate buyer leads, make $250,000? If your answer is “luck” or “connections” you are probably way off base.

We are all genetically predisposed to exact a certain level of success for ourselves. Think of it as an “internal thermostat.”

If your thermostat is set at 60 and you start to do really well at generating real estate buyer leads, it is likely you will sabotage your success. Think of lottery winners that run out of money or sports stars that are broke as soon as they retire. They are not “wired” to achieve at a high level financially, so they do not – they eventually return to their stasis. (more…)
