Quick, who can name the six income producing activities that agents should be doing every day?

If you’ve got them built into your schedule you must know them by heart. Lets end the suspense:

We will talk more about promises and goals down the line as well as the other methodology we use to keep people on track with their schedule, but I think its important to first focus on those six activities…and how simple they really are.

1. Lead Generation – simply the main way to get business
2. Lead Follow-Up – simple if you are lead generating
3. Going on Listings – simple if you are doing #’s 1 and 2 effectively
4. Working with Qualified Buyers – this is hard for a lot of people, but we make it easy by only working with buyers who will sign a contractual commitment to work with us.That way we know they are serious and we don’t waste our time…which gives us more time to led gen, etc. I do this in my own business and it frees me up to pursue people I know are serious about improving their business and their life.
5. Negotiating Contracts – easy if we are working with qualified buyers
6. Taking price-improvements – easy if we are doing what’s best for our clients

The things that are not simple that we do during the day are things like responding to fives emails at a time, or avoiding these six steps. One thing I know from watching and coaching people in this business is that it’s 50 times harder to NOT do the 6 activities above than it is to just do them.

If you’re a committed real estate professional, and I know most of you reading this are, take a fresh look at your schedule in 2010 and commit to doing these 6 activities every day. Like Staples says, “that was easy!”

Are you looking for someone who will hold you accountable to achieving your goals? Career coaching and mentoring may be what you need to accomplish what you really want in your career. Your friends and family certainly love you and want the best for you, but they can’t always make the time to devote the necessary hours you may need to achieve your objectives and goals. Your friends and family have objectives and goals that they are looking to achieve as well.

Coaching is one of the best investments that I have made. Although there are many coaching packages that you can choose with becoming a coaching client, generally speaking, the coach and client usually have a weekly call, which lasts from about 45 to 55 minutes. Email communication is usually included between each coaching call.

I have worked with many terrific people who were extremely talented and were over qualified in the position in which they were working. I could only imagine how much happier and productive they would be if they had hired a career coach to work with them.

Why should you consider hiring a career coach?

1. You have someone who is focused on your objectives and goals.

Your coaching calls are all about you. Your coach will hold you accountable for your actions to achieve your goals. Many career coaches have graduated from CoachU (www.coachu.com) and have been educated and trained on holding clients accountable to achieving their goals.

That’s why many coaches offer a free initial consultation. This initial consultation will better determine if you and your potential coach are compatible. There’s nothing wrong if a particular coach and you are not compatible. The same principle applies with other professional services. You may not be compatible with every accountant, lawyer, contractor, plumber, hairdresser, mechanic or web-designer.

2. You have someone who is objective toward you.

As mentioned before, you have family and friends that love you and they may think that any work you do is awesome, but you are generally getting a subjective opinion. A coach would be able to objectively prepare you for such events as a job interview, calls from clients, querying an editor, writing a resume and getting better organized.

3. Someday leads to a town of Nowhere

How many of us have always said that we wanted to do things such as write a book, start our own business and switch careers? When did you want to start doing those wonderful things? I have done all three by working with a coach! From what I know of myself, I would not have done these things had I not been working with a coach. I might have looked back and thought shoulda, coulda, woulda. I didn’t want to look back years from now and have those regrets.

4. Coaching Can Be A Great Investment

Coaching can cost a lot less than many seminars. What is the total amount of money that you have you spent on self-help items, such as books, audiocassettes, CD’s, Videos, DVD’s and seminars? Did you spend hundreds – maybe thousands of dollars? What kind of rate of return did you get on your investment? Did you achieve your objectives after you read that book, listened to that CD, watched that DVD or went to that seminar? The aforementioned items most likely contained great information on how to achieve your goals. But did any of those items personally hold you accountable and ensured that you achieved your goals?

Like any other professional service, coaching costs money. Coaches are educated and trained professionals who provide valuable services. If your sink needed fixing and you had no idea how to fix it, would you hire a plumber to fix your sink? Hopefully! A plumber is paid to do something with specific measurable results: fix your sink. If your career needs fixing, what would you do? Coaching goes beyond specific measurable results. Can you put a price on having a career that you love?

I cannot put a price on what I have learned by coaching!

Here is your chance to take the next step if you are interested in learning how coaching can take your bussines to new heights..
