I forgot to mention, the example I used in this table sample was:

• Average Home Sales Price $200K 
• 3% commission with 60/40 Broker Split
  
• 3 wks Vaca, working 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week
  
• with a desired income of $70K before taxes 
  

Of course making any adjustments to any of these figures above will give you a brand new set of numbers and results. The key I think is that the contacts, appointments, and closed sales needed to reach the goal is very realistic and achievable for this individual's scenario.

Thank Ty - and you're right. Any tool left sitting in the box is not really a tool.  It's "Hard" ware.  :-)

Marcy - thanks, let me know what you think of it or if you need any help understanding how it all works.

Thanks Ricky - it wasn't built in a day, that's for sure.  <big sigh...>

Hi Alex - if it doesn't, there's a 100% money back guaranty. :-))

Chanda - I set up that Agent Assist blog a couple years ago so folks could read and understand how the program works.  There is a download tab at the top of the page along with other information, demos, testimonials etc.  There's even a tab which gives you a "Live" sample to play with and test it out.  Call me if you have any problems, everything should be working on that site as far as I know. Thanks. :-)

Hi Kirsten - the time commitment is nearly 0 on the program, that's the beauty of it.  In less than 2 minutes, you'll know exactly "how much time" you'll need to invest into your business to hit your Financial goals next year based on the time you have available to do it. 

(I'll throw together a quick screenr video to give you a "real time" idea of how it works)

There are some tracking tools and cool formulas for some other stuff, but that requires minimal time because it's just simple data entry. 

Let me know if you have any questions, there's a sample you can play with on the site if you like.  :-)

Michelle - maybe I should rename it to Agent AShift.

The two items you mention could easily be added to this program and tracked on an annual basis, year after year.  I have already included a module that does this, it can be customized, and is exactly what you mention. Let me know what you think.

All the best to you in 2010 as well.  :-))

I just put up a sample video that walks through the "financial goal setting" process.  It's a couple minutes long but makes it much clearer how easy it really is to do this. The hardest part is sticking to your goals once you know what they are.  Carra has just completed a great 4 part series that covers much more than just setting your business and financial goals, she shares some great information from all of her leading and training experience. Happy New Year, my goal now is just stay awake till midnight!!  lol~  CHEERS ALL!~

Marc - great idea.  My plate is pretty full right now though. The tax and mortgage portions of the program are already completely customizable.  You may want to check it out and then let me know if any modifications are actually even necessary. Thanks, and Happy New Year. :-)

Renee - yes you can. You can modify and custom tailor Agent Assist to track BPO's and all your referral business from any source. If you want to see it, let me know and I'll show you how easy that works.  My goal in doing this is really to help others achieve their goals.  That is truly the greatest reward I have ever received from creating and sharing this program. 

That's also why I love my job here at ActiveRain soooo much, I've never been able to help others as much as I can here. It's always been one of my life dreams and goals, to do something and make a difference.  I never knew it could or would be so very rewarding.

I'm Here if you need me. :-))

Hi Joyce - this little program has been helping agents and brokers for years now. What I really like about this tool is that it works for any agent or broker, anywhere in the country, and in any market conditions.

Hope you're off to a great start of hitting your goals in 2011.  Happy New Year!

You're welcome John.  The nice thing about this type of financial and goal planning is that it works anytime, all year long and in any Real estate Market in any geographic area.  Anyone can do this and I highly recommend that they should. :-)

Larry - great to hear from you my friend, and I love your analogy... one of the best yet! 

Thanks.  :-)
