Every once in a while you meet someone who just lights you up and gets you thinking! Meet Nelson Goulart, VP Network Services for Better Homes and Gardens Canada and Broker/Owner of BH&G Signature Service Missisauga!
Nelson is a visionary; a family man and one of the strongest most grounded leaders I've had the pleasure of meeting! We absolutely share a passion for the Real Estate industry as a whole and dig into what we love about this industry and where we think things may be going! This truly is a Conversation That Matters!
How Can We Improve the Customer Experience?
Nelson shared a story he had of a Millennial worker from the Genius Bar at the Apple Store: She relayed her experience working with her Realtor and how it could have been improved for her in a very simple way.
Where is BH&G Canada Going?
The big vision for BH&G Canada obviously is looking to expand across the country but they have a long term growth strategy as they respect current contracts.
Associations and Canadian Landscape
Nelson sings the praises of the Canadian industry and the DDF (our singular Data Feed) and our ability maintaining control directing listing views. He holds a great deal of pride for the Canadian Real Estate Association and the value they provide as a strong national voice for the industry.
How Does Nelson Position His Agents For Success?
We examine the licensing system and whether new licensees are prepared to tackle their career and how Nelson moves his new agents past their fears and into action as the AWESOME coach that he is!
Leadership Matters
The leadership component is critical in helping agents become successful!
"The industry needs more new leaders coming in who are prepared to roll up their sleeves!"
Nelson sees tremendous opportunity for new, young, dynamic leaders so the future is bright! :)
Thanks so much to Nelson who IS that LEADER! (Hang on to the end where he nearly makes me cry !!)
