There Are Many Methods Used To Train | I'm Sharing What We Do !!

Each of your "thought for the moment" posts is a healthy dose of wisdom!

Hi Barbara -- I like your thoughts on this subject.  With the large volume of transactions conducted by The Todaro Team, the "practice" is consistent and not just every so often.  Very effective method.  

It makes perfect sense, as does Tammy's suggestion to adopt your own style. Authenticity to make connections can be critical in our business. 

You would still be loved and admired even if you were at the bottom of the list in Franklin Massachusetts Barbara Todaro 

Barbara Todaro, your post presents an excellent training program. I sure wish I would have had this type of training when I began. Your new agents are very fortunate; in fact, any agent taking part in this method could be enriched.

Listing  styles ARE different...neither being wrong,  some better suited to 

one kind of Seller than another...each style changing and improving with practice.

Good morning Barbara.  I think that Tammy is very well suited to do training and I think those who are with her are very lucky they are being trained by the best.

I love seeing your team grow and Tammy taking the training reins. We each have our own style and I agree that it takes a firm, take-control person to handle the builders. The resales, well, it sounds like Tammy's personality and mastery have served her quite well.

Lucky new agents to work with Tammy to see one listing presentation, do 1/2 and then take on the full presentation - very smart way to handle training and not throw them to the wolves right out of the gate! 

Have a wonderful Sunday, Barbara!

Good afternoon Barbara Todaro - I hope agents and brokers are reading this becuase yours and Tammy's development talents are why your success is no accident.

Developing your own style by spending time watching others is an ideal way to go! Not having a cookie-cutter type of agent....after all, just like you show us that yours is different than Tammy's, we can learn from the masters and then pick and choose what suits our own personalities. I am much more conversation-driven, whereas others will do a very formal listing appointment. For me, most of these folks are my neighbors and I can sit down and talk about the homes that are comparables in an easy-going fashion. They call me or e-mail me to list because I've worked so hard on developing this niche market! 

Anotyher post where you share great advice. Rachael and I will be reading and talking about this one when we have our business planning meeting on Wednesday. 

Hello Barbara Todaro,  no two people are the same but I always say what I do was different then me ee partner.   I remember saying once she was amaze at how good I was but she had her own technique.  Wish was better, do not know but I still practice on mine and improve all thetime.

Thanks for all you do to help us Barbara you are appreciated more than you know. 

What a great approach and training for new agents. I'm sure they feel prepared to do their own presentations. Your daughter sounds like a wonderful trainer and leader.

Dear Barbara,

You made me laugh! You would be a 100 times as tough as Hitler's sister.

Barbara, I really like that you take new agents through a hands on mentoring process. So many are just on their own and often develop little to no skills that will lead them to be a success.

Thanks for sharing what works for you and your team.

Great thoughts Tammy.  It's so important for each to use their own style so it's "natural."  Without that, we aren't confident and the presentation can seem canned.  

I like the way you transition the agent fairly quickly to handling the listing appointments on their own.  I would have liked something similiar when I transitioned into a listing agent.  

You hit it squarely at the end about each agent developing their own style. Good post!
