Are You Remarkable in Business

In an industry where originality and differentiation do not come easy, standing out amongst the rest of your peers can be an ongoing battle. Being remarkable as defined by Webster is the ability to “Attract notice by being unusual, striking or extraordinary.”

Being remarkable means going above the norm by doing, saying, offering or being that individual who puts more heart, soul and thought into your actions. Being remarkable takes a common occurrence and turns it into an exceptional moment of opportunity.

Being remarkable also requires offering remarkable customer service. After all, remarkable service translates into remarkable results. So how do you define remarkable? Is it answering your phone before 8am and after 5pm, offering a sympathetic ear to a distressed seller or giving a few extra minutes of advice to a first time home buyer?

Being remarkable happens in both the seemingly inconsequential moments as well as the monumental ones. No matter how you define it, finding your remarkability is simply determining what being remarkable looks like in your business.

How to Be Remarkable in Your Business

Be Innovative

Stepping outside the common everyday strategies within your business can be inspiring. It is inspiring not only to you, but to those around you as well. Consumers are hungry for ground breaking; inventive ideas that tell them you offer more than the average salesperson. Maybe it’s a new system to track and capture buyer leads that gives your seller hope that even in our current market, their home will sell. It could be a marketing plan that adds the WOW one-two punch to your listing presentation. Whatever the case, innovation is a welcome change in a world of imitation.

Do the Unexpected

Mediocrity can be summed up in two words: Average and Ordinary. Doing the unexpected can be the difference between mediocre results and spectacular, life altering accomplishments.

Have your efforts become stale and is your energy waning? Re-energize by doing something unpredictable, spontaneous and fun within your business.

Break out of the mold and the tried and true of the past. Break into the new and spectacular YOU!

Cause a Stir

Nothing creates a stir more than controversy. If you feel stuck in the muck within your business, being a little divisive might be your answer. Not divisive for the sake of it, but because you are ready to take a stand for what you believe in. What are you passionate about in your business? What makes the hair on your neck stand up and take notice?

Being true to who you really are and how you actually feel about your business connects you to the right people. Read that again. Embrace the real YOU and find the right people that will make the right changes within your business.

Do it today.

Excellent post, FH.  Nice travel-time writing ;)  Especially in this market, it is so easy to get stuck in the 'this is the way we've always done it' mentality.  My past few months have been on working to do the unusual, the out-of-the-box.  Thank you for a good read.  *suggested*

Hi Rebekah -

Thanks for the motivational post. After going over your check list I just realized I'm remarkable! LOL.  Sorry I couldn't resist.  It's very true we have to stand out from the crowd and be remarkable to keep our clients coming back.  Thanks for your post and have a remarkable day!

Best Regards from the Q

Hi Rebekah, I ask myself this question very often. Why should I do business with you? Being Remarkable and going that extra step gives me an edge over another agent. Thanks for reminding us we need to be Remarkable.

Another great post - my Broker frequently tells me I am "fresh" - unlike any of the other agents in the office. Many of the agents in my office are long-timers (10, 15, 20+ years) and Really Really Good Agents. I think what she means is that I bring something new to the table, something that stirs the pot, provokes conversation, challenges the traditional ways of thinking - and that while I am learning a ton from the more experienced agents, I can share a few new tricks, too, that they can use to benefit their businesses - which ultimately benefits us all.

Hi Rebekah--this post is "remarkable".  There is way too much "average" and "ordinary" in this world, so it's not too hard to be remarkable and separate oneself from the crowd.  One just has to want to do it and you have pointed out the way.

Mimi - Stuck in the muck is how we can all feel these days.  I love travel writing - it clears your head!!

LOL John - YOU are remarkable and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! ;)

The same question you ask yourself is what clients will be asking of us.  We should know the answer and be able to easily relay that to them.  Have a great weekend Jerry!
