I'm Sorry Pipeline

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart

I have absolutely murdered you the past 4 months. I worked my butt off filling you up, only to be lazy for a few months and take everything I could from you. I will do my best to resurrect you, and promise not to do this ever again.


I've gone and done the most stereotypical mistake any agent can do. Nothing. I have seen many agents in this same spot and promised myself I would never make the same mistakes. I kept telling myself that I deserved the break and needed. Part of me believes it actually, on one hand I feel so re invigorated and motivated. On the other, I've got about 2 months until I'm going to start stressing financially.


So it's back to basics. Holding open houses, reaching out to everyone I have in my database, working a new program from my LO, and thinking outside the box (for me at least). I'm even seriously considering buying the leads just to jump start things. If anyone has experience w/ this method, please do share :)


Sorry for the venting, but I do believe positive will come from all this. Heck, that's why I'm on AR right now :) I feel like I actually want my real estate business again, and realized how much I truly LOVE my job! I know there will be 30 random people who read this, thanks for the shoulder to vent on ;)


Best of luck to everyone!

don't beat yourself up.  those down periods are necessary to regain your strength to rebuild the pipeline.  you cant expect a boxer to fight 12 rounds without breaks and then they may take some time off before the next fight.  in this business, getting your head pounded in is the perfect analogy, so time to heal is a necessity, even at the cost of a reduced pipeline

Great analogy James. I'm not beating myself up too hard. Actually I'm extremely motivated right now. So the "healing" time was necessary and hopefully it turns out to be a big positive for my business. Thanks for the encouraging words man. Have a great weekend!

Hey Karen, I'm excited too! Open house didn't happen this week because Jesse had to go out of town. We'll do one this Saturday. I've also got another lead source I joined yesterday. Should start in about two weeks. I'm pumped for the future!
