Productivity boosters — Get more done every day Maybe you’re just starting out in the real estate industry or your career is already established, but you’ve hit a plateau. Whatever the case may be, it’s always good to step back and re-evaluate your business practices and find ways to improve or increase productivity. Oftentimes it takes stepping out of your comfort zone and going through some challenging growth phases to propel you to the next level in your business. Ever heard the saying, “A ship in the harbor is safe, but that’s not what a ship is built for?” Don’t be afraid to take chances and make changes. Here are some ways you can shake things up and increase your productivity: Build a Team — If you’re an individual agent, ask yourself: are you able to give your clients the very best service by handling every aspect of business by yourself? 14
Sure, you’re an expert at finding the perfect fit for your client and negotiating a deal, but what about marketing, lead generating, or maintaining social media accounts? Each can require quite a bit of time and expertise, now might be a good time to let go and let others use their talents so you can focus on what you do best.
Be the King or Queen of Follow-up — It’s not only critical to follow up with potential clients or industry professionals to expand your database, it’s equally important to keep in touch with the contacts you already have. Reach out to them even if it’s just to say hello and update them on what’s happening in the market. It’s a great way to stay on their radar. If an opportunity arises or a property comes on the market, they’ll think of you first. Copyright Featured Agent Magazine
