This is the time of year to start working on your business plan.
I have laid out a guideline for my London Ontario real estate team to follow
and I believe if they work on these simple steps, success is all but
guaranteed.
The first step is to block out your calender, with your prospecting being
your most important appointment of the day. Use a pencil (in case of changes)
and block out all the times that are going to complete your day and do this
well in advance of the day you are going to work on the task at hand.
Many of you will say that your family is more important; it is acceptable to
build your calender based on this approach. However, remember that airlines
will tell you to put your oxygen mask on yourself first in order to be able
to help the people beside you.
Prospecting is the oxygen you will need to be successful in real estate sales
as well s any other selling profession, if you want to help your family -
look after your business and your business will look after you.
You should also try to do some of your prospecting at the office as opposed
to calling at home. If you have a hard time disciplining yourself to make the
calls that are required to reach your goals it is probably because the couch
is winning out over the phone.
Follow these simple rules you will be on top of your game and sales and
referrals will follow. More importantly if you can not master the phone or
stopping in to visit buyers and sellers, you might want to consider another
career other then real estate sales.
The time that you block out for prospecting or what I would like to re phrase
is calling your list, mailing them personal notes and dropping by to visit
people that can send you referrals should be done as routinely as taking a
shower.
Make just five contacts a day in each of these three suggested areas and you
will be successful. If you are new to the business then you should be
spending most of your day looking for business, because the people that you
are trying to serve are not going to come looking for you.
