The reason this happens is that they stop asking questions and stop thinking from the customer’s perspective. A great example of this [...]

In recent weeks we have talked about the number of calls you might make, the number of connections you might get, and the number of appointments you might book. If you are busy with activity you will find that most consumers are raising lots of objections. Sometimes these objections are so good we don’t even [...]
Because of this, it is important to know that you must build vital skills long before you need them. One thing that will separate you from the rest is continuously building your market knowledge. Not many people know what market knowledge is. Getting an email alert from realestate.com.au about new listings is not market knowledge. [...]
As we head into the spring one of the big things to start to think about is how you can substantially increase the number of listings that you’re holding. To do this, it is important to know what brings people to the market place and the sort of knowledge and information they need to make [...]
There are two types of key performance indicators (KPIs); we have soft KPIs and hard KPIs. In training we focus mostly on hard KPIs, which are your listings, sales and income.

A lot of people copy what their competitors do. Every week most agents send out a buyer update email with a list of OFI’s, new properties to the market, etc. Over time that list builds and builds and you are never really sure if anyone is reading the email or not. It is time to [...]

We need to understand what a real estate pipeline really is.

One of the big things that I see in a lot of agents is call reluctance. Call reluctance is that moment when you’re ready to get on the phone and you find all the reasons why you don’t want to be on the phone or the reasons why you shouldn’t call a consumer. There is [...]
We live in a different real estate world from 5 years ago, but what holds true are the fundamentals. You’ve got to: Prospect consistently day in day out. You can never have enough stock.

One of the most important things ever, is to know the reason why the customer employed you. And the reason why the customer employs you is to get their property sold.

Do you suffer from call reluctance? It’s called the fear of what other people think of you and most agents are paralysed by it. There’s an easy way to diagnose it. When you print out a list of prospects to call, do you run your eye over the list looking for the easy targets? Do [...]

If the size of the pie changes, you have to change your table manners. The question for you is what’s the size of the pie (the current market) and what are you doing to get your share? Your business has never needed your focused attention as much as it needs it today. Why? Because as [...]
The most important thing that matters in the world is receiving recognition from others for a job well done. Why is recognition so important?

Todays email is probably one of the most important email’s I’ll ever write to you.

You hear them say it. 80% of my business comes from my referral network, and it frustrates you. How can highly successful agents just get referrals? It all starts with a simple concept in word of mouth marketing called social proof. Social proof is what business fitness is all about. The more for sale and [...]
Anyone can be impressive for a few minutes. It takes guts, determination, effort and energy to do it for a lifetime. As we travel across the country, we’re hearing some incredible stories of courage and resilience as agents fight a market that’s changing by the minute. What I know, is that if you follow process, [...]
It’s got to be a feel good day. Why? Because today marks a milestone. We are 50% of the way through the 2nd quarter of 2012 or 50% through the final quarter for the financial year. It marks a turning point. No matter the numbers, whether your way out in front or far behind, the [...]
The most important thing you can do is to manage your self talk. If you think you can, you can. Don’t worry about the market or your competitors. No matter how hard they try, if they have you thinking about them then your missing out on thinking about the most important game in town. Your [...]

Chasing down the business is the most exhilarating part of what we do. When most of us get to the end of our presentations we make it awkward and weird. When things get awkward and weird we start to make mistakes. What the customer want’s us to do, is to create a clear roadmap of [...]
here will be challenges. One of the greatest lessons you’ll ever learn is that if you really want growth you’ve got to get out there and give things a go. When you try something new, you can’t expect to just hit it out of the park. There will always we setbacks, disappointments and failure. This [...]
When your conviction is strong enough for what you really want in life, then you’ll do the work. It’s time to connect back to your goals. I’ve got an incredibly important question for you this morning: What does success look like to you? In your business? Your personal life? In your relationships? Why is it [...]
1. Having a sales process to get properties sold in 30 days or less. Social proof i.e. sold stickers on signboards is the ultimate in marketing. Over the weekend a number of agencies reported higher than average clearance rates, well above 70% and some even at 100% clearance. 2. Working with people. Rather than just [...]
Lets go back to some simple basics of what the great agents do on a regular and consistent basis. The first thing they realise is they want to build an attraction-based business. These agents have an understanding that their clients are more likely to want to deal with people that have a high level of [...]
No matter the state of the market, or how many homes are being listed or sold, the only thing that matters is that today you get 1. Just 1 listing, just 1 sale, can change the fortunes of your entire business. Why? Because it changes your attitude, which changes the way you think, which changes [...]
It happened again. Yesterday I was in a room with 16 agents and we spent 1 and half hours on the phones and generated 44 market appraisals. Regardless of how you feel the market is going, there is a proven formula for success. It’s called doing the work. So how in just 90 minutes did [...]
What drives you crazy? One of the most amazing things that you can do inside of your business is to actually understand what are all of the stress points that continue to drive you crazy. I have realised that most real estate agents don’t have a clear strategy on how to market themselves inside of [...]
Yesterday I had the chance to critique 11 listings presentations of some of Melbourne’s best agents and the results are in. Year in year out I sit in front of 100′s of agents as they give it there best shot and each time the same things come up over and over again. Here’s a few [...]
Something hit me last night – when you don’t make the choices to do the work you know you should do, you force yourself into a corner or a tight position, which eventually forces your hand and makes you do the work. So you’ve got two choices. Learn to become incredible at what you do [...]
You’ve got one chance to make today really count. With a public holiday mid-week, you’re going to have to really focus like never before. Short weeks don’t go well for us as we cram our work into a four day work week, so it’s critical you lift the bar – do the most you can [...]
One of the most important meetings that we ever have in our real estate career is the market appraisal. As I travel around the country and internationally now, I find that we, as agents represent ourselves poorly during the market appraisal. The problem with market appraisals is that real estate agents often deliver a price [...]
In less than three hours yesterday working with a small group of agents we generated over 38 market appraisals and 6 property management referrals. How? We created an environment for success. Each agent entered the training room with a list of their past market appraisals, past clients and buyers from previous open homes. Then we [...]
You sell the feeling, the energy and the connection. It’s critically important that you become a conveyer of great energy, a positive can do attitude and that you back it up with getting in and doing the work. We’ve just returned from our two week research and development tour of the states, and the number [...]
Imagine if there was a way that you could guarantee yourself success inside of the real estate marketplace. Inside of most real estate businesses is an incredible goldmine called the past market appraisals. Think of it this way. The customer will buy your services when they’re ready to buy. But, it’s your sales process that [...]
You’ve got to be excited about your business. Face it, if you’re not, then why would your customers? I’m not talking Big Kev type excitement, I’m talking about the kind of energy thats created when you’re clear about you want. You’re energy is contagious when you become a professional, hitting out call after call, making [...]
Yesterday we had the opportunity to work with an incredibly talented group of individuals. We got each of them on the phone for 30 minutes or less and generated over 25 market appraisals. How did we do it? We went back to one of the richest lead sources for ready right now business – your [...]
It’s one of the most important questions you’ll ever have to answer, and it’s the difference between having an attraction based business or not. Your potential sellers don’t just hang out at home, they hang out at open houses and they enquire on properties you have available for sale. The way you work both your [...]
There’s never been a more important time to focus on whats important. This weekend around the country we’ll face another super Saturday as we rush to the finish line before Easter. With increases in the auction clearance rate it shows a steady and somewhat confident marketplace. But great agents aren’t resting. There hustling like never [...]
Past client leakage Look at realestate.com.au and domain.com.au and search new listings. For every new street where there’s a new listing, go into your database and find past clients that own a property in this street. Call them using this simple script: ‘Hi, it’s Josh Phegan calling, just a quick courtesy call to let you [...]
This week we had an great group of 9 agents hit the phones in one 45 minute session and pick up 17 appraisals. Imagine if they did just one more 45 minute session? The energy that you convey to the people around you including prospects on the phone determines your success. People want to do [...]
You don’t get any better by taking it easier on yourself. You get better by pushing beyond what you thought was possible. If you want to take a market by storm then you’ve got to improve your skills. Real estate is simple, it’s essentially about two core skills, getting the listings and clearing them. Most [...]
There is nothing quite like it. Going to the gym with your trainer and really feeling it the next day. You can go by yourself and think that your doing a great workout, and feel no difference the next day. Or you can go with a trainer who’ll correct your technique, pushing up on some [...]
Everyone of us is searching for one of three things: 1. Achievement 2. Fulfilment 3. Closure Your work does not define you, but it sure as hell helps to shape the person you will become. The experiences you have everyday, help to build your character and your beliefs. Your beliefs shape your attitude, which shapes [...]
Sitting inside your real estate database is a goldmine filled with opportunity. It’s called your list of past market appraisals and past clients and they need your attention now. It takes 10x more effort to attract a new customer than it does to work with an existing customer. Why then do we pay too little [...]
You’ve got to start stretching and growing. When you stretch you extend beyond your natural comfort levels. You get growth. Growth feels good. You get excited. The challenge is that when we grow we get complacent. We think this is the best it gets. We give up on the pursuit to greatness. Even if we [...]
It’s an exciting day today, with half the country on public holiday and the other half working hard, I’ve got to tread the fine line between getting you to work and getting you to rest. What I know, is that you can achieve far more than your mindset allows you to. That’s what a great [...]
Whatever happens in the first 10 days of the month usually determines the pace you’ll set for the balance of the month. Get off to a great start and you’ll convince yourself that you’re on a roll. Yesterday I was speaking with one of our clients in NZ who has been getting the daily email [...]
You have to be clear on your outcomes and focused on what’s critically important. What I know is that throughout our entire industry, I haven’t seen a brand, an office or an individual salesperson that has actually taken it to the next level in how they work with their past clients. Past clients are the [...]
Over the last three weeks I’ve trained harder physically than I’ve ever trained before. At times it feels like I’m on the edge of the fitness I’ve always wanted. What I know is that I’m still weeks away from achieving my peak. Is it easier to want to give up? Are there times where I [...]
In businesses we see a golden moment, when they reach their potential and achieve far beyond what anyone else ever thought was possible. What would happen if today was the last daily email that we ever sent? What would happen if this was the last time you ever heard from me? Would it be any [...]
Bring intense focus to the game today. Why? With just four weeks until Easter it’s time to hustle. The agencies that hold the stock hold the market. Right now there’s never been a better time in real estate. Stable markets bring opportunities for you to shine. The challenge for most of us, is that we [...]
Yesterday we had an amazing day at List Sell Negotiate, as we were surrounded by some of the best in our industry. Here are some quick highlights: Damien Cooley: Measure your private treaty clearance rate at day 28 and see how auction stacks up. John McManus: If you do 400 connected calls a week, success [...]
Energy plus motion combine together to create emotion. It’s the fuel that brings about action. Emotion precedes action, yet when you undertake the actions it changes your emotions. When you follow up your past market appraisals, how do you get them emotional? The secret is to get them talking about their current and future situations [...]
No one is going to save you. In just two days, we’ll enter the final month for the first quarter of 2012. Time flys in the market and you’ve got to make sure you’re focused on what really counts. The problem for most agents is that they’ve become irrelevant to the customer, because they haven’t [...]
If you get your side of the street sorted, more people will be attracted to cross from their side of the street. Creating an attraction based business is about thinking what does the customer really value and how do I present / show / demonstrate to the customer that I fit all of these ideals? [...]
We’ve all got through periods where you doubt your ability. We’ve all been rejected by customers or even thought that it’s all to hard. What’s pulled you through though is your vision of where you want to be and what you want to do. It’s the magic force that pulls you through the tough times [...]
If there was one skill, and one skill only which you could perfect over the next 30 days, that would help to double your income this year, what would it be? Your approach to the appraisal. Why? Because we do far more appraisals than we ever do listing presentations. Yet in training we focus so [...]
Why go the gym once a week to feel sore and see no change? That’s the greatest challenge in our real estate careers. We only prospect when we actually have to, which means we never really see either incremental or out of this world growth from our actions. To really grow your business it’s about [...]
Every time you find yourself backed into a corner, it’s because you took a shortcut that’s come back to haunt you. The most productive agents in the industry stay focused on doing the basics really well: – They write out a daily task list – each and every day – to keep focused on what’s [...]
Things won’t change unless you change. It’s not about all of your success, it’s what happens in the moments well before success, when you make the decision to do the things that you know you need to do. The problem with most of us is that we’re like the great explorers that climb Mount Everest. [...]
The difference between those that succeed and those that don’t is the actions they undertake. Emotion always precedes the actions. If you don’t feel like doing something it’s much easier to give up. If however you push past the feeling, and undertake the action, it changes the way you feel about it. The more that [...]
Ever heard anyone in real estate tell you they’re working their pipeline of potential sellers, then the next minute tell you they can’t find any ‘right now’ business? When you stop and start prospecting you’ll always experience drag and delay. It takes time for people to make the decision to sell. They’ll make their decision [...]
Don’t rush through your callbacks today. They’re your most important activity. Each and every call is the next step in building the relationship. According to Gartner research 67% of the buyers that tell you no today, will buy within the next 12 months. How many times do we need to speak with each buyer? – [...]
Falling below your potential happens because you lack the hunger and desire to see what’s possible. The unique characteristic of some of the most successful people I know is being a life long learner. They learn from everybody they meet. They’re in the pursuit to the top because they really want to live life to [...]
There’s nothing stopping you right now from giving your best. Every day you have the opportunity to lift the heavier weights and do what you know you should do. What get’s in the way is having a lack of purpose and real clarity about what’s important in your life? There are only two things we’ll [...]
It happens all the time – we miss opportunities that we should win. The reason it happens is we get too focused on what we’re doing and we fail to focus on what the customer wants. Identifying needs is the most important skill you’ll ever develop. It’s used over and over again. It allows you [...]
Technique matters, skill matters, focus matters, but it all means nothing if you don’t use it. There is a saying, if you don’t use it, you lose it, and it’s so true. The highest performing and most successful agents I know hit it out harder than anyone. They have a fierce determination to pick up [...]
Some people set out to build buildings, clean houses or mark roads, we set out to change the course of peoples lives when dealing with one of the largest asset classes in their lives. There not just open house callbacks, they are the next step in the customer experience, after meeting them on the weekend. [...]
Your life is far to valuable to ride the emotional highs and lows of your career. It’s really important you make the decision to run your business on your behaviours, rather than letting your emotions determine what actions you’ll undertake. I had the opportunity to work with some incredible agency principals yesterday in Melbourne around [...]
There are some incredible opportunities out there in the market. As the week speeds by it’s critical to remember that there is a rhythm to your week. Thursdays have a recovery component to them. After a big start to the week, make sure you spend a little time in recovery today. Work in clear 45 [...]
How are you feeling today? You should be fresh and focused as we start a new month. The great leveller in our industry is that no matter how good or bad last month was for you, today we are all the same, the scoreboards set back to 0 and the race to the top starts [...]
Adversity and fear are best things that can happen in your business. Every time you suffer adversity you have the chance to come out stronger. Every time you face fear you have the chance to dig deeper and be a better you. Without adversity we couldn’t rise to the challenge and without fear you couldn’t [...]
Never before has buyer qualification been so important. Over the weekend most of our clients reported record numbers at open homes. We’ve had reports of up to 60 buyers at an individual open. Whilst the signs are positive, it’s now critical that new and old skills kick into action. With renewed buyer interest you’ve got [...]
Ever asked a question and not got the response you wanted? Often potential clients duck and weave when you’re just about to get to the part you need to know, so that you can help them move forward. The challenge is, that most agent’s just keep asking questions. Usually the next question is in a [...]
The way you turn up will determine what you turn up. Every business day we talk. I share an insight, something that has changed someones career to inspire you to engage, and deliver your very best work. I have something important for you today – you’re not that memorable. It’s hard to hear it, but [...]
Your business must have a feeling to it. There’s no point going all out one day then doing nothing the next. You’ve got to build a rhythm and a flow. It’s often referred to as a culture, it’s what great agents create in order to maintain their success. I want today to be the day [...]
There is no doubt that your attitude will determine your altitude. A positive mindset, an upbeat approach to life and a willingness to succeed are all great qualities of winners. It takes a special kind of person to achieve consistent success, facing adversity and setbacks time and time again until they break through. All you [...]
It takes just a second and it’s the most important thing you’ll do each day. It’s overcoming the fear to get on the phones and make something happen. Yesterday I had the chance to work with an incredibly talented group of individuals. We hit it out, working as a team of 6 getting on the [...]
One of the little known secrets is just how much your approach can affect an outcome. The most difficult call for most agents is following up past market appraisals.
