    The Proven Formula for Becoming a Mega Listing Agent

    Whether you’re brand new to real estate or you’re an experienced agent looking to do more deals, there’s only one way to grow your listing business.  Even the most successful mega listing agents had to follow the same formula in order to increase their transactions. If we commit to doing the right things consistently, the results we want will show up.  Most agents don’t work the process or they don’t follow the process long enough, so when they don’t get the results, they think something is wrong with the process.  If we want a booming listing business, we have to get really comfortable with making calls, having conversations, and getting enough reps in to become experts. That also requires us to deal with the rejection, failure and frustration that comes with getting good at this job.  What do we need to do everyday to become a mega listing agent? How do we increase our conversion? In this episode, we talk about the process of becoming a top producing agent.    If you haven’t connected the dots between what you do everyday and what brings you what you want, you’re not going to be committed to it. -Brendon Payne   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  Follow the process and the results will show up Most real estate agents are so focused on the final outcome - more listings - but why do we have to focus more on the process?  The power of the clock-in-clock out mentality Average agents think having set working hours is restrictive but does it actually give us the freedom that leads to success? They don’t know you Mega listing agents have had thousands of challenging conversations and faced rejection over and over again. How do you stop taking that personally and use it to build your skill and confidence?    About Your Hosts Brendon has been selling Real Estate Since 2007.  In a very short period of time, his performance has allowed him to be one of the highest producing agents in South Carolina and in the Top 1% of agents nationwide.  He has trained under the Top Real Estate Coaches in the industry and now uses his skills and expertise to lead and train his own agents at Century 21 Charleston Expert Real Estate Advisors.  Brendon considers himself a life-long student of the industry and seeks out other Top Performers, Trainers, and Coaches to continually stay at the top of his game and add value to his clients and the agents that he coaches.   Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

    How to Stop Using Scripts and Start Having Conversations

The answer has always been conversations.  Actors have to follow a script to create a scene, but that doesn’t work for real estate agents.  If you’re more focused on getting the exact script right, you can easily miss out on a conversation that actually leads to a close.  A canned script doesn’t prepare us for the real conversations we’ll have with consumers. Instead, we have to internalize the script so it becomes a natural part of how we communicate, and that will make us more effective.  How do we make the transition from being scripted to actually having conversations? In this episode, I talk about the danger of focusing on scripts and what to do instead.  About Your Host Brendon has been selling Real Estate Since 2007.  In a very short period of time, his performance has allowed him to be one of the highest producing agents in South Carolina and in the Top 1% of agents nationwide.  He has trained under the Top Real Estate Coaches in the industry and now uses his skills and expertise to lead and train his own agents at Century 21 Charleston Expert Real Estate Advisors.  Brendon considers himself a life-long student of the industry and seeks out other Top Performers, Trainers, and Coaches to continually stay at the top of his game and add value to his clients and the agents that he coaches.     Check out this episode on Apple Podcasts, or Spotify, and don't forget to leave a review if you like what you heard.

    How to Jump Start Your Listing-Based Business - Part 2

    When it comes to building a solid listing-based business, most agents want to quickly get into expired and canceled listings. Here’s the problem: they go after these leads before they’ve built up the confidence and skills they need. This leads to mediocre results, a loss of confidence, and less income.  Instead of taking this approach, we coach our agents on a step-by-step process to build up to expired and canceled listings by starting with other lead types first. The conversational skills needed to convert expired listings can’t be built up overnight. The best agents got really good at the foundational skills before they went after the most competitive and challenging leads. If you want to be a successful listing agent, you can’t skip this vital step.  What lead pillars should we start with in order to gain the skills we need? In part two of our listings webinar, Abe Safa and I talk about how to build up to the highest quality listing leads.  Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  Don’t overlook FRBOs There are so many lead pillars that have less competition than expireds. How do we get easy access to these higher quality leads? One lead pillar at a time The closer a lead is to the transaction, the more advanced the skills we need to have. How do we gain the skills we need for higher level leads?  The key to being a successful listing business Once we’ve built the skills to go after expired and canceled listings, how do we get the most out of this lead source?   About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

    How to Jump Start Your Listing-Based Business - Part 1

    Any real estate agent can become a listing machine in a very short space of time. Even if you’re new to the business, if you’ve been working with buyers your whole career, or you just want to multiply your listing inventory.  If you put the right pieces in place, you can build a solid listing-based business that can withstand all market conditions. The challenge is: a lot of what agents are taught to get more listings actually works against that goal.  We’ve coached hundreds of agents on a different strategy, and it works every single time.  Why do we have to master the listing presentation before we generate a single lead? Are lead gen companies actually making it harder to build a successful listing-based business? In this episode, Abe Safa joins me for the first of a two-part webinar where we share a step-by-step process for building a strong listing-based business.  Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  Why seasoned agents struggle more than newbies Experienced agents often plateau because they get complacent. How do you refocus on the fundamentals if you’ve faltered? Master the listing presentation first Most coaches and leaders teach agents to focus on everything but the listing presentation first, why do we coach our agents to start with it?  Double down on prospecting Lead companies want you to focus less on generating leads yourself and more on depending on them. How does this put your profits at risk?  An unproductive metric Dial attempts don’t matter as much as actual conversations, so what metric should guide our prospecting?   About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.
