Happy New Year! And welcome to the first FULL episode of the Ignite Your Estate Agency podcast of 2022.
In this episode we're jumping straight into a look back at the AshdownJones figures from 2021, and measuring our KPIs, targets, and results.
As Phil say's: "If you don't know your results, you don't know your business."
We'll discuss exactly why we do this, the numbers and statistics, and how you can measure them for yourself too, so you can guarantee you're hitting your targets consistently.
Measuring results is the most important thing in marketing, if you're not measuring, how do you know what you need to change?
Hope you enjoy this episode, let us know how your estate agency performed in 2021 if you want!

On this week's episode of the Ignite Your Estate Agency Podcast we've got a very special state-side guest.
Kevin Hines - a best selling author, global public speaker, and award winning documentary filmmaker.
But that's not Kevin's full story...
In the Year 2000, Kevin attempted to take his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Many factors contributed to his miraculous survival including a sea lion which kept him afloat until the Coast Guard arrived.
He is one of only 36 people to ever survive the fall.
Kevin now travels the world sharing his story of hope, healing, and recovery while teaching people of all ages the art of wellness & the ability to survive pain with true resilience.
And we've got him on the podcast to talk about you, your "brain health", and your business.
We hope you enjoy, and just a warning, Kevin talks in depth about his suicide attempt so only listen if you're happy to hear about it.
