Glad to see a lot of things I do on a regular basis on your list of things to do Tabitha.  Good post.  Best wishes to you.

Hi Tabitha Rector-Richardson - You have done a very nice job outlining the different processes to be successful.  The 80/20 concept is very important especially when you find yourself losing the "efficiency" battle!

Great Blog 😃going to use it in my next office meeting

Wonderful blog, great advice to stay focused on the most profitable activities.

Lots of good advice. However, I no longer purchase leads, nor do I plan to. Waste of money.

What a great post!  Following up promptly with potential clients is essential and keeping in contact with them consistently will eventually produce results.

Great outline of the minimum To Do List for this business. I'm sharing this with my team. Congrats on the featured post. Well organized.

Hi Tabitha. Great reminders! Nothing difficult and, all are essential!

Lots of good information and reminders in your post. It is easy to slip into non-revenue making activities.

Tabitha Rector-Richardson What a great list of guidelines in the most important areas

Excellent post!

Good Morning Tabitha, excellent post and great reminders that we have to be proactive in our business everyday. It can be very easy to become stagnant with non lead generating activities.

Outstanding post, Tabitha! And here I was thinking of taking it easy today!

Dear Tabitha,

Great reminder to keep your eye on the prize & not get side-tracked by low return busy work.

A reminder of what should be done to bring business home to me.

all 6 items are important but #1 is critical to your biz. 

Purchase leads? Not.

Busy work will do just that keep you busy and away from the key money making activities.  Great post.

Excellent post here. It is indeed the distractions (80%) that hinder results.  Focusing efforts on the right things is the only way!

I would add prospecting and drip marketing to every lead to keep yourself top-of-mind with them.

Great advice , Tabitha! You provided a lot of great activities for one to prospect and generate business. If they are consistent with this on a daily basis, then they may be on of those 20%ers!

Great ideas for an agent at every level of their career.  The 80-20 rule is actually caed the Paretto Rule or concept.  Actually very old concept. 

Thanks for the reminder, Tabitha.    Several agents in my office spend a lot of time doing things that don't grow their business at all, and I'll have to admit a few bad habits have rubbed off on me lately.   Although I always make my current clients my #1.    I wonder if your # 4 might work better for me at a higher priority, since those are people that are already "warm."    Regardless of the order, I get your point: that our focus needs to be directed on keeping the future pipeline full.    

Great post and list of to do items.  It's so easy to appear busy in this business.  I attend at least 2 networking functions a week where other realtors don't venture.  There are so many realtors in our area and so skipping the vastly attended ones is key to have one on one time with people.  

Thanks Tabitha, a lot of wisdom behind the 80/20 ratio, amazing how accurate it is in so many areas.

Thanks Tabitha. This is a great starting point for new agents and a great reminder for the rest. 

Wishing you much success.

This is great and very generous of you to put it together.   I need to read this first thing every day.  Thank you.

Nice, it is good to be reminded about the plan...and doing ones very best to stick with it.

No matter how long you are in the business , Lead Gen has to be a part of every day !

I like how you applied the 80/20 rule to what we do in a day. I like the list too. I've never paid for leads myself, but had an interesting discussion this morning that made me think I may be approaching that topic with the wrong mindset. (Not that I intend to start paying for leads anytime soon, but to be open to the fact that it does work for some). 

With the advent of mega-teams with downstream lead generation that could be the 93-7 rule.

Late seeing this post but a great reminder and refresher as we move into the new year.  Thanks
