Feeling blue because you lost a listing to a competitor? If you are wondering why that happened, it may be the perfect time for a tune-up on your marketing materials, your wardrobe, and your attitude. Start with this question and be honest with the answer: “How do I show up?”
It’s time to take a good look at your numbers for the year. Not where you wanted to be? So, what are you telling yourself right now? Did you get a late start on the year? Did your market go south? Did your brain stay on permanent vacation after you came home from that week on the beach? The list can go on and on about why you aren’t on track to hit your goals this year—but the reality is, those are all excuses.
With 2019 quickly coming to a close, it’s time to start thinking about your business planning for the upcoming year. When you measure what you expect, you can back up and inspect how you got there…or not.

You know, the approaching holidays with the non-stop schedule of buying gifts, prepping food, baking cookies, keeping the house sparkling clean, going to parties, relatives to visit, and on and on and on. You race from one event to the next, and fall in bed exhausted every night. There’s never enough time to pack it all in, and by the time New Year’s rolls around, you’re irritable, worn-out, and maybe even sick from the latest bug going around.

Maybe you’re even thinking it is time to get out of real estate and find a job that pays. If you’re in that boat, you need to know that there are many possibilities that can make an impact on your bottom line. And, in sales, sometimes it just takes a minor tweak to your approach to make a major difference.
