It’s so easy for Real Estate Agents to become undisciplined. Learning how to develop and maintain strong self-discipline is indispensable to becoming a high achiever. Discipline is like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes. So don’t start by trying to become the ultimate master of discipline in one day. Begin with small steps and build on your successes. Here is a simple 4-step process to build your personal discipline fast:

Have any bad habits you would like to break? It’s not just the habit itself that is a problem. It’s that bad habits make us hate ourselves. They can make us feel guilty or defeated or powerless. It’s time to take them out…but HOW? Here are the five steps that will finally allow you to break those bad habits forever? 1. COMMIT to defeat it. It has to be a commitment, not just a wish or a “try.” 2. Declare it THE ENEMY. A bad habit is not a weakness. It is an enemy of your success, happiness, self-approval & self-respect. The problem is that it’s an enemy that’s been kicking your butt…because bad habits are tough. How do you beat a tough enemy? 3. TRAIN yourself to beat the bad habit.
4. RALLY. Don’t let setbacks defeat you. When you say “no” and then later give in. You’re still stronger than you were before. That frustration you feel at yourself is fuel for more action. Failures is like taking a punch. It hurts…but if you know it’s coming…you keep your defenses up. And when the old, bad habit sneaks a punch in…OUCH. If it knocks you down, you jump back up. 5. REPLACE the bad habit with a good habit. Just like people, fill your life with habits that are friends instead of enemies. And every time you beat a bad habit, you get stronger and your life gets better. If this episode helps you, please LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE. Hit SUBSCRIBE to get notices of new episode!

Would you like to get more done every day? No matter how busy we get, most people feel the frustration of not getting as much done as they would like to get done in a day. We can even found ourselves with so many things on our “to-do” list that we experience that paralyzing feeling of overwhelm. Here are three key words that can help you get more accomplished in a day than ever before. 1. FOCUS. Make sure you have absolute clarity about what you need to be working on at any given time and then focus on that one thing. Turn off or eliminate as many distractions as possible. Stop trying to multi-task, which lowers the quality and productivity of your work. Learn to focus on one task until it is completed. 2. FAST. There is an amazing power that comes with the efficiency of speed. Approach each task with a sense of urgency which will intensify your focus and help you get it done more quickly. The key is to get things done fast without rushing. 3. FINISH. Too many of us are guilty of starting things and never finishing. There is tremendous momentum and a sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a task before moving on to the next one. And every time you finish something in creates more power and momentum. The best way to put all this together is with what I call the “Gotta Get Outta Here” Game. Have you ever had tickets to a big game or concert, and you were trying to get everything wrapped up at the office before heading out for the big night? In those moments we tend to be very effective at all three of these ideas. We get super FOCUSED on getting the most important stuff done FAST so we can get it FINISHED and head out for the big event. In those moments our productivity surges and no matter how busy it is we get more accomplished in less time because of that clarity and urgency that is driving us. Simply bring that same level of intensity to your work every day and you will be amazed at how much you can accomplish. If this episode helps you, please LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE.

Many real estate agents who are prospecting by phone for listings ask me if they should leave a message or a voicemail when the seller does not answer. The answer depends on specifically who you are calling and when you are calling them. And of course, the goal is a live conversation with a prospect, not a "sly-dial" voice mail that let's you avoid the possibility of rejection. Having said that, the answer depends, first, on who you are calling and, second, on which time you’ve called them. The best process is different for different groups of prospects. There are four basic groups of prospects agents typically call:

This is the worst. You set a listing appointment. Do all your homework…CMA, pre-listing package, get ready, and drive all the way to their house…and then you get stood up. Grrrrr…. There is nothing more frustrating, right? Well, almost nothing. The question is, what do you do about it to salvage the appointment AND to prevent being no-showed again? First, do not get frustrated. That will only create negative energy between you and the Seller. Stay calm. Be kind. Second, treat it as no problem and simply reschedule. Third, let them know you are putting it in your calendar and make sure they are putting it in their schedule as well, so this issue does not happen again. You can offer to send them a text message reminder or a calendar invite by email. The bottom line is to be professional and kindly communicate your expectation that they treat you like a professional. It is mutually respectful for you and for them.

One of the most powerful secrets to success is making mistakes. Yet, from the time we started school we have mostly been taught that mistakes are the worst possible thing you can make. Our grades were almost always determined by the number of mistakes we made, so we are programmed to avoid mistakes and avoiding anything that risks such failure.

Recently the National Association of Realtors published a report that was done by the Swanepoel Group at the request of NAR, to identify the greatest threats to the real estate industry. It’s called the DANGER Report. It reflects that there is a lot of room for improvement in the industry, but most importantly that there is lots of opportunity for real estate agents who are committed to becoming ethical, skilled professionals.

This is one of the most common objections that real estate agents here when talking to For Sale by Owners. “Bring me a buyer…and I’ll pay you a commission.” The first key with objection-handling is to be able to respond in a straightforward, no-BS way that communicates confidence and that does repel them. A cardinal rule of prospecting is to never make the seller wrong because that only causes resistance. If this episode helps you, please LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE.

Have you ever heard someone one say (or thought to yourself), real estate scripts all sound pretty much the same?” It’s true. And it’s also true that most cars really look pretty much the same too! Right? It’s the differences that matter. It’s the differences that make one new car worth $30,000 and another new car the exact same size worth $300,000. (Almost sounds like the difference in some real agents’ incomes. Both may work hard, but somehow one gets dramatically different results. THE GOAL Obviously the primary goal of using scripts is to get, “Yes.” It’s to inspire (or convince) a prospect to say “yes”…to set an appointment with you, or to list their house with you, or to sign a contract to buy or sell a piece of real estate. Scrips are simply strategic conversation maps designed to lead to the “yes.” So…if you want to become more effective at getting appointments, and listings and sales, become better at know what to say and how to say it to inspire more “yes’s.” That’s where the power of verbal frames can help…if you understand how to use them. Frames is a term often used in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Program), that basically refers to how words and language “frames” a thought, feeling, or any communication. In the video blog, I explain in detail the right way and the wrong way to use frames and give more examples. Here is a basic overview: WRONG: Using negative frames. Never create a negative frame in your conversation. A negative frame is basically assuming or speaking an outcome that you don’t want. It is casting your question or statement as if you are expecting or preparing for a negative response (in other words, a response that you don’t want). Here are some examples of some common negative frames in real estate conversations or scripts: “You’re probably not looking to move right now….but when do you think…” “I’m sure you’re already getting swarmed by agents calling you…so I just wanted…” I know you’re sick and tired of hearing from agents…so I’ll make this brief…” “Would you be terribly offended…if I asked for your phone number?” “I know you’re not going to like hearing this…but…” “Sorry to bug you….” Here is the universal law that is at work here: You tend to get what you expect. And it’s true in business and in life and in relationships and in everything…you tend to get what you expect. So why would you speak as if you are expecting an undesired outcome? RIGHT: 1. Repeat and affirm their statement. Now, If they say a negative statement first…then it’s perfectly appropriate to acknowledge their statement by repeating and affirming their thoughts or feelings. When you reflect back their statement and acknowledge it, you are bringing yourself in alignment with them. In other words, you are getting on their side! And that is very powerful. They created the negative frame, you you are simply connecting with them through their statement. 2. Reframe to a desired outcome. Now that you’ve connected with them, you can now begin to influence or lead them by reframing the conversation to a desired outcome. In other words by bringing up an outcome that they do want and that you can help them achieve. If this episode helps you, please LIKE, COMMENT & SHARE. Hit SUBSCRIBE to get notices of new episode!

The most effective door knocking strategy is talking to "turbo leads"...i.e. For Sale By Owners, expired listings, Notice of defaults, etc, because they have already exhibited a need or a desire to sell their property.
