I don’t know about you but this “outside and inside the box” thing is a little overplayed. REALITY….There is NO box so why would you make one and put yourself in it?
POINT – market is changing, the buyers are changing and the sellers have been deeply wounded
QUESTION: With the point above as a thought don’t we have to change our business model at least a little bit? Does change = outside the box? If that is true for you let’s re-think the business model you are using.
Thoughts: Get back into the basics of our business AND learn something new. Many agents have asked me what to do. The quick and dirty answer is…..do the things you don’t want to do. This means touching base with people you have already done business with (warm touches). It also means you MUST embrace the new age of technology AND grasp an understanding of the generational differences because in todays’ business world that is a very key component to success. Don’t be afraid to do something new and work at losing the “box” mentality.
RE: generational understanding – many feel that particularly the Y generation will change the workplace and even though you may be an independent contractor you still work in the world that will change.
Believe that knowledge is power and seek classes and/or designations that will mobilize you forward. All businesses are so competitive today so why not seek to have the competitive edge?
