Empower Yourself - 3 Habits to create the success you want

Not to be a downer (because I am an optimist) but did you know that:

• 50% to 80% of new agents get out of the business within 12 months?

Veteran Agents...many are struggling...taking second jobs to wait out the current market.

Below are the February stats for King and Snohomish Counties in Washington State, a state that is supposedly "holding up pretty well". Let's see how February 2008 compared to February 2007...

King County

• Solds: down nearly 27%
• Average Days on Market: Up 20%
  

Snohomish County

• Solds: down 36%
• Average Days on Market: Up 42%

We know it's a tough market...what are you going to do about it?

I suggest that you can weather this market - any market for that matter - by simply having the right habits. Plain and simple, agents fail only because they have not effectively contacted enough people to generate the business they need.

3 habits to create the success you want:

• Self Discipline - this is without a doubt the most difficult to achieve...you can do it and ask for help if you need it
• A simple doable plan - don't react to the market embrace it and rise to the top
• Take a few steps each day

If you struggle with any one of these thinigs you are not alone. In fact, 85% of the successful agents struggle with at least one of those items.

Here's the key to making it in this market - accountability!

If you struggle with one or all three of the habits I listed above you need someone to hold you accountable, someone who willl guide you and help you develop self discipline, create a simple plan and support and encourage your daily actions.

Would you like to Close More Deals this year?

You can outperform other Realtors by having just a bit more knowledge and applying it.

Are you challenged creating effective marketing? Does technology get the best of you?

I was talking with my sister the other day...she is an agent with RE/MAX in Oregon...specifically about technology training. She said "Jeff I don't need more training on how todo something. I need to know how to apply it to my buisness." In other words, she wants to know how to incorporate this knowledge and use it in her business. She wants the immediate benefits...

• Saving time
• Increasing visibility with clients and prospects
• Closing More Deals

Ah, so we search for systems thinking it will be easier...
We become challenged with implementing new knowledge - even though we may have a basic understanding of a program or marketing technique, this is why so many search for "systems".

"I just want it done for me!" "I don't want to re-invent something that's already been done." Thinking this will save you time. The only problem with this is every system out there will need to be tweaked to fit your specific needs. That's what boggs us down...we inherently know that whatever we buy into, we'll still have to make adjustments. This costs you a huge amount of money and time, procrastination always does.

At Impact Your Sales Now our goal is to not just teach you "how" to use technology or "how" to make your marketing generate more leads...we go the extra step to help you apply what you've learned.

Let's take Outlook for example. We'll teach you how to use specific features of the program while giving you specific examples of applying it to your business. If you needto learn about mail merge (what it is, the benfits to you, etc.) we'll teach you and when our session is done you 'll have more knowledge and something to show for it, like:

• A template Form letter
• A template layout for Address Labels
• A template Email that will be personalized for each recipient

We all know we learn more by doing...but what if you had someone there helping you every step of the way...that's the Impact Your Sales Now difference!

Don't put this off...let's get it done...togther.

An Inspirational Thought

Notes from a Jim Rohn Seminar:

Philosophy drives attitude.
Attitude drives actions.
Actions drive results.
Results drive lifestyles.

If you don't like your lifestyle, look at your results.
If you don't like your results, look at your actions.
If you don't like your actions, look at your attitude.
If you don't like your attitude, look at your philosophy.

I found those phrases to be inspiring and thought provoking.

Remember that...

• Successful people live outside their comfort zone
• Successful people are consistent
• Successful people are always learning

What's your philosophy?


Do you need to be inspired?


Do you want help?


You can always find me at: http://www.impactyoursalesnow.com/coaching.html

Happy Sales,

Is Technology Hindering or Empowering You?

We all tend to have a love hate relationship with technology. We love it when it works and we don't when it's not.

Hey, because I know how you feel I've come up with three tips to save yourself from technology:

1. Take your computer right now and chuck it out the window!
2. Vow never to upgrade your system...keep using Windows 98 Second Edition
3. Don't wait till you get frustrated get help!

I hope one of the "life saving" tips is useful for you. What's my favorite you ask? Thanks for asking, my favorite is the number three.

Why? Because "one can be the loneliest number you'll ever know...and two can be as bad as one..." (3 Dog Night tune - Number one) ;-)

Of course, number 3 is my favorite because that is what I do. I help people improve their relationship with their computer...reconcile the relationship so to speak. Have someone be a partner with you to help you, train you and to be a resource so that when something just isn't working right you don't get frustrated you just give them a call.

Don't let technology frustrate you...call before you get frustrated.

I provide over 27 classes on Technology, such topics as:
Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Excel, Word, Websites, Search Engine Optimization, etc.

Empower Yourself by having a personal computer guy like me!

All of my training is done online so your safety is never jeopardized by meeting with some stranger.
