6 Guidelines For Business Transformation

6 Guidelines For Business Transformation

We are on a mission… a mission to create the most productive brokerage network in the world. That requires transformation… I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if it was as easy as the type of transformation Clark Kent goes through when he becomes Superman, or when Diana became Wonder Woman?

Here’s what I know, to achieve all of our dreams some type of transformation is required. And unless you are blessed with superpowers, transformations don’t happen in isolation. If you’re stuck, get in a small group. If you’re on track get in a small group. If you’re crushing it I suspect you’re already in a small group. None of us will transform without the power of being in a like-minded mastermind group where you can share, discuss, challenge and get some accountability.

Consider starting or joining a group this week. Don’t know what to discuss? Consider these possible themes:

Possible Topics:

6 guidelines for business transformation. 1. Let the consumer drive your direction; 2. Decide what type of transformation you need; 3. How to involve your team, vendors and support network; 4. How to say NO to the comfort zone; 5. Being open, listen to others and be prepared to change as conditions dictate and 6. Best practices to never stop… never stop with a continuous improvement mindset (make it better, make it better, always make it better).

Possible Topic:

The JPAR quarterly review or business planning templates and how you plan to close the year strong, fully prepared for 2019.

Possible Topic About Marketing:

As you think about closing the year strong and starting the year fast I’d ask you to consider content-based marketing.

Content-based marketing is about marketing your real estate services based on the consumers intent to engage.

Marketing to the consumer’s intent is expected to produce a better ROI over more traditional methods, mostly due to specific targeting and higher quality responses.

One idea you could execute would be white papers that you hire out Fiverr or write yourself along with an associated “push and target” distribution campaign to drive leads. Examples:

4 reasons to sell and buy in Flower Mound

6 ways to increase the value of your home in Frisco

7 things I bet your real estate agent never taught you about Austin real estate market

Many social media companies allow you to target a likely seller or buyer by way of geographic area (ex. 10 mile radius from a property), age (ex. 35-50), income (ex. at least $50,000 and less than $80,000), and even credit score (cool, right?). And others like SmartZip offer predictive intent based tools for the modern real estate agent.

So there you have it – at least 3 major topics to get started on in your small group. When will you begin?
