Ricki, another agent and I were talking just last week about being 'too pushy'--have been thinking of writing a blog post about it. your post inspired me to do it! I do agree time seems to pass much faster now that I am older--sent my oldest off to college this year and in a few years, it will be just me and my husband at home. I'm already preparing for this new lifestyle.
Ricki, yes time management is essential to a successful real estate agent, or any other business professional. Here I am a year later and can't help but think, what can I do better for next year. Good post :)
Ricki - The year has flown by, and I agree we need to ask our clients.
It's been a good year. Surprised me how quickly it went. Yet, I'm looking forward to 2013. But first a nice holiday vacation.
I just did that with one of my clients and realized that she is never going to pull the trigger on buying a house... We have been friends for over 25 years... Time to have a heart ot heart...
With short sales that take so long it is harder than ever to create the urgency we need to get to the table fast. Thanks for this timely post and congrats on being featured! ;)
Hi Ricki, we agree. We all need to work more on time blocking our schedule.
So hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week... Good advice for all..
Beth
Boy, Ricki, you are so right! I spent about 18 mo. on buyers starting in 2010 who made one offer then when they didn't get it more or less just gave up! I thought about calling them again, but thought better of it. I need the mind set of closing!
Great post and I totally agree about the importance of time management. I'm getting better with managing my time and will begin my second year starting in December 2012 for the entire year of 2013. Plan your time and see how much more effective and productive you'll be; I was amazed!
My Mom told me time would fly faster the older I got. She sure was right!
Time management is something I need to work on - it's very difficult working from home and having a retired husband wandering in and out at odd times. Sometimes I wish I needed to leave and go to an office. (But I don't wish that for long!)
Hi Gary, Yes, time flies, it's amazing.
Thanks Gene, no one likes a pushy person :)
Hi Jeanne, quickly hurrying by :)
Sylvia, Pens and Candy canes, how I love to give them away!
Hi Ed, Seems like that for me too.
Hey Karen Anne, You always make me laugh! Have a great week! :)
Dear Ricki,
If you do not close once in a while, you do not eat, so just ask. People do not mind you making a living off your profession. If you had a trust fund, you would probably be on a beach somewhere and not working this hard ....
Ricki great advice and thanks for sharing! We really need ask a question!!! I agree!
Hi Mary, I will check out your new post :)
Hi Christina, It is so good to make yearly goals and revisit them in June to see where you are. :)
HI Christine, Ask, ask, ask :)
Frank, we used to take vacations at the holiday time but the past couple years have been super busy during the holidays. Go figure!
Hi Shanna, You know it is so hard to sell to your friends.
David, I just hate short sales! :)
Hi Bob, yes that is right!
Hi Beth, Thanksgiving just next week! Caught me off guard too:)
Hi Marge, Yes we all need that mindset. I am tired of working for nothing!
Hi Kimo, Time management is what it is all about. Conquer the time wasting and you will prosper!
Hi Marte, Working at home is nice but can be very challenging also.
Hi Dorte, A beachfront oh yeah!
Hi Emilia, Never fail to ask questions, you may get an answer you like!
I walked into the mall in Orlando to meet a friend for lunch after NAR.
I was confronted with what looked like a 150' Christmas Tree. It stopped me in my tracks with such disconnect.
Honestly, I was clueless that Christmas was THAT CLOSE! Today I realized Thanksgiving is next week.
I must be working to hard to let all of this get past me. Joy
Hi Joy, Good for you, business must be good! :) Happy Thanksgiving!
If you don't push you don't get paid. I don't consider it pushing. I just keep things moving forward.
Hi Wayne, Nobody likes pushing but keeping things focused and on track is most important if you want to close those deals. :)
