EXPECTATIONS
Agent Expectations for the Productivity Coaching Program When you are asked to complete an activity, do it. You are expected to utilize your Productivity Coach and Mentor- not depend on them. Your Productivity Coach and Mentor are there for you. Don’t abuse this by calling late evenings or weekends. From time to time, your Productivity Coach or Mentor will ask you to accomplish certain activities. When assigned homework, you will be expected to accomplish it on time. Be on time. If you are not getting what is expected from your Productivity Coach or Mentor, you will discuss this with the Productivity Coaching Manager. You are willing to allow your Productivity Coach and Mentor to coach you. You agree to take personal responsibility and complete all activities. Your Productivity Coach and Mentor will assist you with the identification of your goals and implementation of the strategies required to achieve them.

Scripts
Training
Coaching
Know what to say and when to say it. By knowing what to say and how to say it is vital as you start your career. Think of scripts as sharpening your knife or in basketball terms, practicing your free throws.
Don’t think just because you did a few sales that you don’t need to practice your skills. In this business, it is vital that you are always seeking out training opportunities. Training will take place in your PC Class, at your market center, on line and at various conferences such as KW Family Reunion and KW Mega Camp.
80% of agents will leave real estate in their first year. It is vital that work on your mindset, discipline, skills and performance on a daily basis. You have taken the first step and it is advised that you continue coaching even after you complete your first three transactions.
