Here’s how to get more success with your new agents–starting with before licensing.
Managers: Use this as you’re interviewing to help those best candidates get ready to be successful.
Managers: your new agents wait to start training until AFTER they join an office. Why? Think how much faster they could go if they had lots of the organization and training under your belt prior to their first day in the business?A� Okay. I know. Until they are licensed, they can’t do the things licensed agents can do. But, they can do many things. And all those things get them ready to hit the ground running. At the end of this blog, I’m providing you my great checklist,A�30 Things to Do Right (In Pre-License School) Now to Hit the Ground Running. (from my new eBook,A�What They Don’t Teach You in Pre-License School).
New Agents Lose Lots of Time Because They are Not Prepared to Start the Business
New agents generally spend the first 1-2 weeks getting ‘orientated’. Brokers have checklists to assure they get their keys, join the Realtor association, etc., etc., etc. How long do you estimate it takes the new agent just to get those orientation checklists finished? 2-4 weeks? In some cases, they never finish them!!!!! Not only that, they probably think that finishing those checklists assures they are going to be successful agents.A� Ha!
When Do New Agents Plan to Start Lead Generating?
My studies show that new agents want to make a sale their first month in the business. That means you need to start lead generating your first WEEK in the business! From hiring and training hundreds of new agents, I’ve observed they put off the inevitable as long as possible, hoping ‘there’s another way!’ In fact, the more ‘get ready to get ready’ work new agents doing, the worse their habits become and the less money they make!
A Better Method to GetA� a Check Fast
Instead of waiting until new agents areA�are licensed, why not get them prepared to sell real estate while they are in pre-license school? These eager beavers can do things like
- Decide on the database/CRMA�they want to use and learn how to use it–with your guidance
- Populate their databases with 100-300 potential clients
- Prepare an email/hard copy note/letter to all those in their databases saying they’ve joined_____________ real estate company
