List to Last

Get more listings with less effort by learning the skills to deal with sellers. Top salespeople focus on listings rather than buyers, so find out the step-by-step process to land sellers and impress them with your unique value proposition. By finding qualified sellers, being better prepared for appointments, communicating effectively, and following up with exceptional service you’ll end up with more listings, fewer commission objections, higher sales, and happier clients.

Pricing Strategies

Sell your clients’ homes more quickly and for more money by choosing the right price the first time. Using right price analysis, the law of supply and demand, absorption rate analysis, and price sensitive positioning will ensure you set the right price even in a changing market. Convincing sellers to list at that price can be challenging, so this seminar gives you all the tools and dialogues you need to convince them to choose the right price.

Client Objections

Confidently talk through challenging issues by learning how to effectively handle client objections. Understanding client psychology means knowing the difference between hesitations, conditions, and genuine objections. Being able to handle every situation means acquiring the determination, dialogue and delivery to use the right technique at the right time. Through this seminar you learn several proven dialogues to help you address just about every objection you will ever hear, allowing you to meet your clients’ needs better than your competition.

Duration: 3 hours

Buyer Strategies and Negotiating Skills

Save time “getting to sold” by quickly qualifying buyers and getting solid commitments before you start working with them. Potential buyers aren’t always ready to buy, so focus your time on the ones who are genuinely prepared. This seminar not only teaches easy methods for quickly qualifying buyers, it also gives tips for holding great open houses and advanced negotiation skills for closing more offers.

Duration: 2 hours

Business Planning

Turn your income goals into concrete daily activities with a straightforward business plan. Running a business without a plan is like going on a road trip without directions, so learn how to set realistic income goals, create a budget for the year, monitor your performance, and stay on track by fixing potential problems early on. This course gives you the tools for creating your own plan, so that you don’t just earn money – you keep it!

Duration: 3 hours

Make more money and bring balance back into your life by effectively managing your time. We give you 23 techniques to handle your commitments and find enough time to get everything done in a day. Learning how to overcome challenges, maintain a positive attitude, and stay strong in your career and relationships means you can “work to live” rather than live to work.

Duration: 2 hours

Thrive: Success in Any Market

Thrive – don’t just survive – in unstable economic times. With all of the bad news in the media, salespeople cannot help but wonder if they could ever last in this industry. This seminar takes you on a powerful journey filled with personal stories of beating the odds, showing you that success is a state of mind. Attitude is everything in this business, so let yourself be motivated to rise above your challenges and reach new heights.

Duration: 3 hours

Recruiting 101

Recruit experienced agents to ensure your company thrives, regardless of market conditions. If you build your business by recruiting new agents, you spend all of your time training with little return on your investment for the first few years. This seminar explores several techniques to attract great, established agents without going broke and how to handle their most common objections.

Duration: 3 hours

Hiring the Ultimate Assistant

Increase your sales performance by hiring the ultimate assistant to free up your time. The right assistant will take care of your organization, give you the confidence to delegate work, and allow you to concentrate on becoming a top producer. The wrong assistant will cost you money on training and lost productivity. Rather than making a costly decision on the wrong assistant, learn how to advertise, interview and check references to get the right skills for your business.

Duration: 3 hours

Building a 'MEGA' Team

Build a team with everyone heading in the right direction and you will benefit from their collective success. Top producers are often inspired to build a team of their own, but great sales leadership is not the same as great team leadership. In this seminar, you learn about the evolution of a team, the ingredients for creating a winning team, how to recruit the right people, and how to train and lead them.

Duration: 3 hours

Managing in the New Millennium

Make your life easier by effectively managing a brokerage in challenging times. Gone are the days of “telling” salespeople what to do and actually expecting them to do it! Today, salespeople are far more demanding and expect managers to use “servant leadership” styles. This seminar walks you through how to identify personality types and how to best motivate and manage each one.

Duration: 3 hours

Power Presentations

Deliver exciting, confident, meaningful presentations that connect with your audience – whether they are referral sources at an office meeting, potential clients at a first time homebuyer’s seminar, prospective investors at an investment pitch, or lead sources at a corporate lunch and learn. Learn about personalizing your presentations through sharing experiences, creating the right environment, using humor, setting clear objectives, using great visual aids and getting audience participation. Learn what makes a presentation successful and the 20 deadly sins to avoid.

Duration: 2 hours

Handling Commission Objections

Expertly address your clients’ commission objections to ensure you make a profit while they receive the best service. Clients often want more for less, but earning what you’re worth means helping them to understand what they get for their money. Whether they’re asking about reducing your commission or saying other agents will work for less, learn what to say and how to say it so that you can distinguish yourself from your competitors and still run a profitable business.
