What I Learned in Business Planning Class Today

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

WOW! I'm a bit overwhelmed. here are the main things I got out of this class.

  1. Work your numbers backwards. (Net Income-Cost of sales and Operating Expenses = Gross Closed Income)
  2. Do a Budget! How else will you know what your COS & OE's are.
  3. Break down your GCI into % from buyers and % of sellers
  4. divide by average commission
  5. divide by average sales price
  6. then divide by your conversion rate
  7. If you have never taken a Keller Williams Business Planning class TAKE ONE (even if you aren't a KW Agent call a local office they will let you sit in their class, they'll let you sit in any class)
  8. Most importantly once you have it broken down to weekly goals keep up with your numbers and go to accountability or a productivity class.

Samantha--when you leave seminars don't you feel like your head is just going to explode with all the information you're trying to absorb? This sounds like great info...I'll try and search out and squeeze one of those classes in between the three classes per week I'm currently taking---on second thought I think it will need to wait a little while, anyway! Thanks for the info, Samantha!

Take the pain out of the calculation ... try www.CreateAPlan.com  I have many many Keller Williams agents that use CreateAPlan because of how simple it is to enter the information and calculate their business plan AND have a built-in accountability function. 

Call me directly and I will give you a test drive.

Samantha,  Thanks for sharing. This is good info to know. There are a few KW offices in my area, I will have to stop by and see what classes they have.

Great post!!!!---I took the class several weeks ago and must admit I was a bit overwhemed, especially with the shear amount of lead generation it takes to make it in this business. Keep it comming----Jim
