Okay. Leta��s face it. Ita��s difficult to get your agent to create that business plan. But, you know he/she needs one, right? In the next few blogs, Ia��ll give you the guidance you need to get workable plans for your agents. Herea��s the first tip:

Model the process.

What do I mean? Create your own plan, so you know how the process works. Most brokers don’t have business plans. No wonder they dona��t feel confident in helping their agents plan. So, your first step is to create your own plan. Your plan should include:

A review of your office for this last year. This is the step most planners leave outa��.so they dona��t get any a�?hintsa�� for the future from their own past! Thata��s like trying to market your product without knowing why people love it. A review will also give you a�?talking pointsa�� with your agents about their own plans. Especially look at these statistics:

  1. Number of listings taken to listings solda��in normal market time (you will look at this with your agent, too)
  2. Percentage of sales to listings sold (you will look at this with your agent, too)
