I have a Business Plan and it is Working!

A Big thanks to Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint, for hosting "How's Your Business Plan Working" Contest.

2016 has been quite different than it was in previous years.  Usually my goals consisted of sales figures, but this year it has been focused on the loose ends. I have been working as a concierge, as well as a Buyers agent, photographer, sign installer, payroll agent, and filling in, assisting our newest agent and any of the others that need help with client showings.

My sales figures have suffered, but our agent's figures are up considerably.  It looks like the agents are doing very well, since they only have to focus on their clients and contacts.

 

In addition to the first half of 2016, the second half will be filled with studying, as Evelyn and I are both striving toward our own Real Estate School, to be open in 2017.  We both are excited, as we received our study books today.  Already, we have several people that want to take the course when it is available to them. Next year may be geared toward a teaching year, more than a sales year for me. Of course I will still be available to our agents.

 

2016 is a building year and our plan for the rest of the year is on track,

to have a great 2017.

Larry only so many hours in the day, and if some of them are used managing others, then we have less time for our own production.  I am a producing sales manager so I am very familiar with the balancing act. 

Good luck with the school!!!

Wish you the best on your school plans. 

Larry, do us a favor we do fine without having to answer school students on line at AR.

I should skip Purdue graduate engr schools (total 5 years) and attend  a realtor school after high school had I know it turned out this way.

Your new teaching venture sounds very exciting and what a great way to get new agents in your office.

Good evening Larry Johnston .  It sounds as though you are finding rewards greater than imagined in seeing other prosper around you.  Whether it be in knowledge or dollars.  Good on you and congratulations on expanding yourself. Mark
