Navigating The Turbulent Team Environment
Look at any superstar agent and you will find a competitive spirit flowing through their veins. They strive to be number one and shatter sales records; it’s in the DNA of top achievers. As an entrepreneur, you naturally want to stack your team with as many of them as you can, but be careful what you wish for.
Competition is the fuel that drives top producers, but unhealthy competition can lead to a hostile workplace. Finding the right balance between competition and co-operation in your teams dynamic will add excitement
and motivation without creating a toxic environment. The team leader should always be on the lookout for new strategies to accelerate growth and improve productivity, and competition is a tried-and -true approach going all the way back to primary school. Competition promotes creativity, inspires motivation and stimulates growth as team members learn how to be better. It may sound ideal, but competition can get out of hand so it’s critical that you create a culture of healthy competition moderated by an overall sense of collaboration.
REALTORS® make their living by selling, their satisfaction and success depends on it. Over the course of my career we have coached and assisted in the growth of more than 600 real estate teams, and I have seen this singular issue wreak havoc with teams at every level of the spectrum. In my experience there are three major factors critical to fostering healthy competition that is tempered by a strong sense of co-operation.
Team First
It is critical that every team member prioritizes the collective goals of the team ahead of their own personal success. The achievement of individual goals is important but those accomplishments should be celebrated as a beneficial addition to the overall success of the team. Team collaboration must be reiterated on a regular basis, by constantly reminding
the group of the bigger picture and the shared vision of the company.
Constant Improvement
Industry leading companies are never satisfied with the status quo; they are always striving to be better. They perpetuate a culture where overachievement is used as the motivator for more overachievement and breaking a sales record translates into a new record to break. Competitive individuals need a challenging environment that inspires growth, continual improvement and self-awareness. A key asset to inspiring this culture is on-going sales coaching through team meetings and one-on-one discussions.
Don’t Forget The Fun
Healthy competition should have an element of fun with no team
member should feeling threatened or intimidated. Like any competition there should be rewards. Performance metrics are a clear-cut method of determining success, but you want to celebrate other types of victories as well. Traditional logic may say that a contest only has one winner, but savvy team leaders realize that businesses sink or swim together and therefore constantly reinforce the importance of the team accomplishments, and how each individual contributed to the overall success.
Sales competitions have been proven effective over the years because they harness the natural ambition and incentive-driven nature of sales oriented individuals. While you want every team member to possess individual competitive drive, you want that strengthened by an overriding sense of team collaboration.

Strategy, Implementation & Coaching
A powerful program | that helps you get it done
For over 12 years, Goodfellow Coaching & Consulting has been coaching and consulting with the top agents and teams across North America.
One of the advantages we have is that we get to see what online strategies work and which don’t. Most coaching and consulting companies will tell you what to do and then leave it up
to you to try and fit more tasks into an already full schedule. We realized that was a major stumbling block for most top teams, not only because as a top producer, you don’t have time but it is very hard to wade through the thousands of “creative people” that are self proclaimed experts.
There is a time when as an agent/broker where you no longer have enough time to sell and do everything else needed to progress your business. Your time is best-spent selling/recruiting instead of doing marketing, websites, system development etc.
The Goodfellow Coaching & Consulting Strategy, Implementation and Coaching program is custom designed to you and your business. We can facilitate as much or as little as needed. As a coach to the top agents, teams and brokers, Coach Ken is constantly told how much they really enjoy the weekly coaching calls, but Ken always said that the coaching business was more than four calls per month. He wanted it to go beyond that, and believed that this amazing program would provide that added value.
“I think you should go to Goodfellow Coaching because they have many specialty coaches and divide you up so you can work on your specific problems. You are not restricted to just one coach like most programs.”
