Well, you first have to have a plan.
I can't believe how many Realtors sit and wait for the business to come to them. Like somehow magically it will appear. Or the Realtor who expects to be handed the business by their brokerage firm. Come on now, you are an Independent Contractor and responsible for your own destiny. That is exactly why I work for myself. I take no orders, do my own thing, work as hard as I want, plan my own schedule, etc.
Well, then just how do you get there?
These weekly activities will help.
- Meaningful prospecting calls per week. How Many? What percentage of your time? Vs. Wasted phone calls
- Listing Activities. How many hours per week? What percentage of your time?
- Buyer side Activities. How many hours per week? What percentage of your time?
- Administrative Activities. How many hours per week? What percentage of your time?
- Estimated Average Workweek. How many hours per week? What percentage of your time?
Questions:
- Desired Annual Net Income
- Average Sales Price in Your Market
- Average Commission Side Percentage
- Company Agent Split Percentage
- Percent Buyer Side
Assumptions
- Number of leads neede per closing
- Workweeks per year
- Efficiency Percentage
If you can't write down a plan and heads towards a goal, then you will never be successful. You can't just arrive at success. It takes work and planning.
I hope that you reach your 2012 goals quickly and then you can adjust and rewrite your plan with higher goals. That is afterall, what we all want. Success.
Cheers!
