After watching an inspirational video featuring a football coach encouraging his player,  it got me thinking.  What if I had a coach by MY side, challenging me, pushing me, and sometimes barking at me?  Would I be more productive?  Would I be more accountable?  Don't get me wrong, I know what to do, but if I knew my efforts were being monitored, judged and critiqued, perhaps I would make 20% extra calls.  Perhaps I would be more focused on getting more appointments, turned to settlements. Maybe all of my price reductions would be proactively generated, as opposed to my client calling me and asking me if it were time to reduce.  While most agents are trying to find areas to cut expenses, maybe we should even cut more, in order to budget $500 monthly for a great coach.  If that is out of the question, then consider a weekly meeting with your manager, or get an "accountability partner" where you meet weekly, so you can push and encourage each other.  An accountability partner should have similar goals to yours, and a desire to increase their business.
