Making goals and achieving them can be really challenging! Chances are, you’ve been taught to make a business plan each year, and focus on the goals you want to achieve over the next year and up to five years in the future. But when you take stock of your life, chances are, where you’re at is not at all where you imagined you’d be! For many of us, our plans may have taken a detour, or completely derailed due to something unexpected.

You’re going about your day, thinking that your business is great and you have happy clients—and then, coming out of left field when you least expect it—a past client posts a really awful review about you online. Yikes! Where did that come from?

NEW YORK (Sept. 23, 2019)-Women in PropTech, the leading global industry group for women in real estate technology, announced that nominations for the Inaugural Women in PropTech Global Awards are now open, and will close on October 4.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking (or saying) things like:

• It’s not my fault….
• The market is so slow right now…
• There’s too much inventory right now, no one is buying…
• People don’t buy during the holidays….
• The economy is shaky—people don’t want to buy….

Communication skills are critical for success in any endeavor, but especially in a sales profession like real estate.  As a real estate professional, you have to be able to listen and respond appropriately to what your client is REALLY saying—and sometimes those messages are hard to decipher!  There are many barriers to effective communication that can distort the intention of a message. The result? A breakdown of communications and misunderstandings.
