In this episode, you’ll learn the value of action, even if it’s imperfect.

More Leads = Less Business: How to Raise Your Lead Gen Game w/Preston Guyton

The lawsuits, litigation and legal concerns on the buyer side prove two things about our industry. The landscape for buyer’s agents is shifting, and unlike the listings side, agents in that space are heavily misunderstood.
 
That doesn’t mean agents who work buyers are obsolete, you just have to differentiate yourself by proving the value you bring to the table.
 
How do we demonstrate our value? What do buyers care about? In this episode, I share strategies to showcase your value, and how to preserve and increase the buyer side of your business.

Building Your Value in the Eyes of the Buyer

While well-meaning coaches, team leaders and Brokers typically equate scripts with dialogue, that couldn’t be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, by thinking of them as one and the same, we could actually be doing ourselves a grave disservice. 
 
So, what is the chief difference between the two, then? 
 
Is one more likely than the other to get us better results with leads? Could focusing too much on one or the other be the reason we’re yet to see the results we’re aiming for? 
 
In this episode, we’re talking scripts and dialogue and unpacking the reason why they’re just not working for some. 
 
"Scripts are 1 or 2 sentences that you know work every time to help you enter into a dialogue, and 1 or 2 that help you exit the conversation, but they’re not the magic in-between." -Greg Harrelson

Scripts And Dialogues: Why Yours Aren‘t Getting You The Results You Want (REPLAY)

When we think about making calls, most agents tend to think in terms of how to get a resounding ‘yes’, but sometimes, a ‘no’ can be more profitable. 
 
The truth is, in real estate, a ‘no’ is seldom a final answer, and ‘no’ typically means not right now. 
 
So, what can we do when we’re faced with a ‘not right now’? Is there a way to nurture a lead over the long term without coming across as sleazy salespeople?
 
In this episode, we’re talking how to monetize a rejection and build a phenomenal pipeline for the future. 
 
While we’re looking for business today, a lot of agents are missing out on opportunities for FUTURE business by taking a ‘no’ at face value. -Greg Harrelson

Eliminate Call Reluctance: The Top Producer Secret Sauce For Generating (REPLAY)

In a metrics-obsessed industry, it’s super easy to attach our idea of success to grand numbers and achievements. Unfortunately, this approach can do more harm than good.
 
In our book, the numbers are insignificant. The process is what we should be obsessively fixated on.
 
When our vision of success is tied to what we do every single day, the extraordinary results we seek take care of themselves.
 
Why are process-focused people more successful than results-focused people? How do we lead our agents towards the activities that lead to success?
 
In this episode, we talk about the foundation of excellence, and why it doesn’t have to be based on the numbers. 
 
"The people that follow a process and improve their skills end up doing extraordinarily well." -Greg Harrelson
