What should you take to your next sales team meeting?

As summer all to quickly comes to an end, you'll likely be finding more time to sit in on those weekly team sales meetings in your office.  To be honest, now may be the best time to attend these meetings, too!  With the attitude about the market, this is a great way to get you motivated and back in the real estate game.

Here are a couple of things you'll want to remember to bring with you:

1.) A POSITIVE attitude - If you go into a meeting with a pessimistic attitude, you'll just bring everyone around you down.  If you put yourself in a positive mood, you will look at things in a completely different light.

2.) A pen and paper - Put down that Blackberry (Crackberry) and write down some ideas!  You're clients won't mind that you didn't answer them right away, especially if you are finding out new ways to help their homes sell faster!

3.) New ideas for marketing listings - you can share these new tools with others to see if they have heard of them.  Ultimately, if several office members are interested in one of the tools, you can likely get a discount on the pricing for more agents signing up together.

4.) A list of your goals - Goals are a way to inspire yourself. It's important to write down your goals for the next month, 3 months, 6 months, year, etc.  Those goals can be anything from the number of houses you want to have listed, or the number of contacts you want to make every day or even the total commission you want to walk away with at the end of a period.  If you have your goals in front of you at all times, you'll know how close your are to reaching them and how long you have to complete them.  You might want to write down something that you will treat yourself to WHEN you reach your goals.  It's a great way to remind yourself to stay on track.  You just have to find the determination to keep them!

Although sometimes they may seem repetitive and not worth your time, MAKE the time to attend your sales team meetings!!

Happy Selling,
