CREATING LEADS VERSUS CONVERTING LEADS
The creation, control, and conversion of leads determines the revenue and success of your business. Most Speakers, Trainers, Coaches, and Authors focus a lot of their time on the creation of leads. They try to sell you their “lead generation system” – the system that creates thousands of leads for you! We have all heard of these third-party Internet companies that, in most areas, are charging Agents lots of money for low quality and low conversion rate leads.

CREATING REFERRALS
We all want an office in which the phone rings continually with offers of referral business. Does having this type of office sound like a dream? It doesn’t need to be such a far-fetched reality, though it requires diligent work with clients. There are a few key steps to creating a great referral business. The first step is to provide a high level of service in the first place. If the service is not exceptional, no referrals will be forth coming. One of the crucial factors in customer satisfaction is communication.

GO AHEAD…PUT YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET!
I was recently reflecting on the question, “What is the one characteristic that makes someone successful.” It was in one of those moments that you struggle to boil all of your knowledge down into one distilled thought. To remove all the dross of your thoughts to one true nugget of incredible value to all who come in contact with it. My mind zeroed in on the concept of how our effort dictates our reward in life. Our effort being our work or what we do. In life we create our reward, whether it is financial or relational, by what we do.

COMPETING WITH OTHER AGENTS
All agents are at different stages of their career and different levels of production. Each has their own philosophy for running their business and different levels of staffing for accomplishing it. I get asked constantly, “How do I compete with agents that have more listings, staff and production tha I do?” That is certainly a valid question since there are a whole lot more new agents, inconsistent agents and average agents then there are mega-producers. How do you compete against a mega-producer?

COUNSELING CLIENTS ON HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Before you start to counsel owners about home improvements, remember these two rules: * First and foremost, never counsel before you are hired. Counseling happens after a client-relationship is established. Atto eys don’t offer legal advice before their services have been officially retained. Doctors don’t diagnose without assurance of compensation. Realtors should follow suit. Wait until the listing agreement is signed.

CHECKING YOUR PROSPECT’S “DNA”
Based on your qualifying efforts, determine the likelihood that your prospect will convert into a good client for your business by conducting a DNA analysis. This involves measuring the prospect’s level of desire, need to take action, and ability and authority to make a purchase or selling decision. D for Desire Desire or motivation is the strongest indicator of a successful business outcome.

DEMONSTRATING YOUR PROFESSIONAL VALUE
A Champion Agent can convey the six key rules that equate to professional value to any prospect or client. They are able to drive home the key points to raise their value to the prospect. 1. We don’t sell properties We are salespeople, but we are really selling something other than a property. What we really sell to the marketplace is our knowledge. Our knowledge is better and more complete than our competitor’s, which enables us to charge a higher fee for our service. Why is one Atto ey $500 an hour and another is only $100 an hour? It’s an hour for both.

Go The Distance
How do you know when a prospect or client is going to waste your time or go the distance? That is something new Agents and some experienced Agents struggle with regularly.

BUSINESS PLAN
The business plan is a foreign tool to most REALTORS®. After studying, observing, interviewing, and coaching hundreds of Agents, I have concluded that very few have taken the time to create a quality business plan. Fewer still review their business plan on a regular basis. The few who have good business plans often make them so complicated that they possess little value. Those Agents create such a complex business plan that they will never carry it out. What kind of value does this complex business plan have to them? . . .

CREATING SALES AND SALES VOLUME COMPARISONS
Evaluating your performance against the statistics of other agents or companies in your market segment is a great starting point, but it is rarely enough to uncover your unique edge or point of difference. When you compare your numbers to MLS stats for the number of units sold, number of listings taken, number of listings sold, and total sales volume in your market area you arrive at a picture of how you did compared to the market at large.

WISDOM WITH FINANCES
Most Agents begin their real estate career with the hope of gaining financial independence. They are attracted by the possibility of earning large sums of money. Even when Agents make more than a six-figure income, the vast majority have not dramatically improved their financial balance sheet. After looking at hundreds of Agents’ Profit and Loss statements and personal spending habits, I’ve determined that real estate Agents are poorly prepared for financial independence. Why should real estate Agents be any different from the American population in general?

CHALLENGES FOR SALES PROFESSIONALS
The most significant challenge for sales professionals is their time control. How a sales professional uses their time determines income. The sales professionals in the top 10% of their industry control, use, and invest their time more wisely and effectively than the lower performing sales people. The Champion Performers are more effective with their time blocking schedule than lower performers. The concept of time blocking is not new. Most of us have been exposed to it but have yet to master it.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dirk Zeller
Lao-Tzu said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” John Maxwell said, “Success is a journey not a destination.” You combine the two and create, “The success journey begins with a single step.” That is what stops most people…that first step. That little step separates the abundance from the failure. Without that first step you are guaranteed to not accomplish your objective.
