o They tell you how you are progressing on your journey

o If you are reaching your prospecting goal o How much you need to do to stay on track or get back on track o Which sources are being successful for you and which are not o Whether or not your dialogues and approaches are working o # of Contacts vs. how many appointments are scheduled o # presentations before you get a listing or buyer representation agreement signed o They’ll tell you why you’re working harder. o % Listings that don’t sell o List Price: Sales Price ratio o Average days on market o Buyers not going under contract o Transactions under contract that do not close

Another Reason for Tracking: Good numbers give you “bragging” rights!
