The Four C's of Communication
I have been contemplating the importance of relationships in both my personal and professional lives lately. So about a week ago, I decided to revisit a century-old book that I had read a couple of times before. Since my time seems to be in short supply these days, I decided to try and find an audio version of the book so I could listen to it while I worked out. I quickly found that a revised version of the book had recently been released and was available in an audio version, so I downloaded it and started listening.
What book is so good that I felt the need to read it a third time? How to Win Friends and Influence People: Updated for the Next Generation of...

Making Changes in Your Business
If history has taught us anything, especially the past three years, it is that there is no way for the future to be accurately predicted. In some ways, this is probably a good thing because then life would be very boring. After all, it would be predictable. However, it means that when the unexpected happens, you must be prepared to make changes in your business without notice, which is something I know that many of you have already dealt with this year.
I am a planner. To some of you, this will resonate and to others, it will not. I remember at the very young age of about sixteen, thinking about my life and where I wanted to be when I was 45 years old. I thought about things like how much I would earn...

Has The Real Estate Industry Forgotten About Business Differentiation?
Everyone I have ever talked to who has successfully started or operated a business has focused on one overriding thought: what makes my business different from the competing business down the street, or in the same area?
I heard this yesterday during a business meeting with fellow CEO peers as one member in our group was processing a business opportunity, and this was the prevailing question being asked of him by the group.
I had two primary "professions" prior to doing tech full-time. My first real "profession" was running a bicycle shop while attending college. During the first year of running the bicycle shop, I was ultimately able to grow the business' revenue by over 400% for the owner. Thinking back, it was quite simple to do yet those 'simple things' were so elusive to the person who was runnin...

How Email Marketing Can Get You More Listings Now
In 2021, and most likely going into 2022, you need to be very intentional and have a strategic approach to getting new listings. In some of my previous articles, I've focused on more passive methods in getting new listings. The passive methods I described in those articles are still good methods for an ongoing strategic approach, but with the current state of the industry, you need to be more aggressive in getting new listings.
If you are in management at your real estate firm or you are a team lead, I am a firm believer that you need to take a proactive approach when it comes to attracting new listings right now. Because, unfortunately, if you wait for your sales associates to do something on their own, you will find that...
