Separate . . . . Yourself From the Crowd

Good morning Lou Ludwig ,

Very appropriate message this morning. I just encountered an incident of an agent deeply discounting their commission to get a listing from some past clients.....I separated my self and won the listing..no need to lower yourself down the ladder..they saw the difference in professionalism.

I agree with Dorie...another great selection Lou...thanks for sharing

I like Dorie's explaination.  When you separate yourself and provide value the client will choose you.

Dorie hit it right on.

Being that I have a fear of heights, I don't climb many ladders, but if it is a ladder to success, I might just dare to climb it.

Lou, hopefully we all have characteristics to separate us from the rest of the pack.

Good Morning Lou Ludwig,  Ladders are important to climb to get to the top of your profession.

Great advice....not easy but so worth the effort!

Hi Lou Ludwig I have acrophobia. I think I'll just stay in the crowd.

Be the crowd leader and let others follow you!

It helps that you are leading during the separation process Lou Ludwig 

And the moral of the story I derive is this, when you get to the top, there's nowhere else to go except down. Enjoy the rungs along life's journey - they are the ones that you'll remember the most. 

Making yourself like  a sore thumb and stand outwo people see you is very important to success

Lou, It is never easy to separate yourself from everyone else but it is an objective we all need to strive to achieve. 

WOW Lou ... very well said my friend and this part is spot on! 

In order to climb the ladder of success you have to step onto the ladder . . . . and leave behind the people who are not willing to take the journey with you.

Very nice message here Lou and I agree you have to do some climbing to get to where you are going.

Lou,  You have to be willing to do what others are not.  No one said it would be easy.  

Training and experience are two major rungs on that ladder that newbies often times are not willing to climb Lou Ludwig which is why a 30 plus year training participant like myself is at the top of the crowd.

Hi Lou... when I trained new agents I always emphasized that they need to always think in terms of "points of differentiation" as the public perceives us as commodities. And to separate yourself you need to take risks others won't and think outside the box in ways that others are hesitant to do.
