Lead A Day 10.01.2020

lead a day Oct 01, 2020

Fundamental Mindset Shift

It's the start of 4th Quarter. Look at your annual goals. You probably need to pend in October most of everything remaining needed to meet your closed goals. Is it time to crank up the sails to go FASTER? Or is it time to sail to a revised goal? (It can be BOTH too...)

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

Time to look at the first 3 quarters. Keep it simple:

How many listings are sold and closed + pending to still close in 2019?

How many buyers are sold and closed + pending to still close in 2019?

What was your annual goal of closed deals?

How many do you need to pend in October to meet your Annual goal?

Your Action today is to take the information above and look at one more thing.

What is the ONE source that gave you more business than any other?

TODAY you do everything you can to duplicate that source into a...

End of 3rd Quarter!

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

We end the 3rd Quarter of this year today and move into the final Quarter of this year.

For our Lead a Day Club idea I’d like you to embrace the idea that you ARE a salesperson. The secret is, EVERYONE is.

Our success in life and business is determined by our ability to sell.

Today for 28 minutes write down as many problems people have that you can support them solving. Start with your leads… what problem is solved for them when you sell something for them or to them?

If you have no leads, then think of people you know. Don’t know anyone? Then imagine a TYPE of person, like for sale by owner or expired or college graduate with a great job still living at home...

Now…...

Fundamental Mindset Shift

It's not rocket science. You are simply looking for someone that needs to move. Keep it that simple.

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

Contact everyone you do business with to say THANK YOU for their work they do for you.

Here's the conversation today:

Who to thank: Your vet, doctor(s), dentists, dry cleaners, accountant, bookkeeper, wealth manager, lender, termite inspector, home inspector, title rep, copy machine people, IT people, yard people, cleaning people, electrician, painter, handyman, etc, etc.

"Bob, as we go into fall, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. It's been an outstanding year and as I stand her moving into the 4th Quarter, I have to think that some of my success came from having you in my life. I mean... the way you take care of my...

I have a conversation:

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

Dial all the people in your Database you can in 28 minutes. Expect to leave 6 messages for every 1 you reach live.

Here is the message. Adapt it for the person you reach live:

"This is _____, I’m sorry I’m missed you... hmm... I really wanted to talk to you sometime soon ( pause ) because I've been looking... and it looks like your house may be… the thing is… I think it' probably worth…. a LOT more than you think!

You know what? I hate to leave this on a message but… I’d really like to give you a good update on the real market value of this house.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re thinking of selling… I just want to do this for you.

As part of the...

What is your dream? What do you do this work for? Who benefits from your success other than just yourself? Your family? Your kids? Your parents? Your church? Your community? Get a dream...

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

Pick up the phone and call EVERY person you should have talked to this year and haven't, wishing them a Happy Fall (it started Sept 22) and asking if you can be of service to them in any way over the next 3 months.

No crazy script. Nothing fancy. Come from a spirit of contribution.

Some of my clients do this now and ask if they can deliver a pie the day or two before Thanksgiving and if so, what type - pumpkin or apple or pecan?

One of our new coaching clients offers a "Free Pie Contest" to his Farm area and people submit a request to...

Fundamental Mindset Shift

If you are waiting for someone else to make it happen, it's gonna be a long wait.

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

28 minutes of doing it yourself.

Allowing NO excuses, can you find great contact information for a lead you have that you don't have great information on now?

Step one - Pick a lead. That name that is on the open house sign in sheet but the number and email are illegible. That lead you got online with just an email address, no name. That person who's a neighbor of a friend but you have no other info. If you don't have someone like that, then pull up an expired listing.

Step two - Imagine you HAD to reach this person. Its life or death. Or if that's too dramatic, they accidentally left their diamond ring on...

Fundamental Mindset Shift

Gosh... so many of these this week are about WORKING!

I mean... Donna.... do we REALLY have to work??

Oh, I don't know... how much do you want to MAKE???

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

Imagine for 5 minutes that you had a big amount of money to spend on your business…. And your ONLY job was to hire someone for a job to do for you.

The pay was an annual salary of $450,000. Got that imagined?

You are a wealthy business-owner and you're hiring this person to pay them nearly HALF OF A MILLION a year.

One of the perks is they can take 4-7 vacations a year, as long as everything was handled while they were away.

Nice job, right?

Now... part of the deal was they pay their own expenses... their gas, car, phone, clothes, continuing-ed,...

Believe in the process. Do the right thing every day.

What is the right thing?

At least 28 measly minutes of high energy pedal to the metal Lead Generation or Lead Follow-Up if you already have a list of leads.

This is called Sales.

Don't want to? Might face the fact you need to find another job.

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

What are your top 3 sources of business?

Don't know? Haven't done enough to know? What 3 would you choose if you could? Define your top 3 you will go after 4th Quarter this year. Create a plan to spend 10 minutes a day on generating leads from each source. (yes, that's 30 minutes, but let's not get picky here) Start today. 10 minutes on each of 3 sources.

Every time I did a CMA in a neighborhood or complex, I would see who else in my database this...

Fundamental Mindset Shift

It's not always EASY to do the Follow-UP & Follow-THROUGH that makes the difference... While still working every day to find someone NEW to help and them finding someone else... etc.

Do the difficult thing.

And do it well.

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

From Coach Mike Stott -

Note that this IS our true story of the day because he uses this NOW!

Today we are going to get in touch with all those leads that don’t get back to you after leaving them a phone message with three tips:

1) Double dialing. Try dialing the prospect's number and if you get a voice message immediately hang up and dial again. Approximately 25% to 40% of the people will answer the second time. You might also immediately call from a different number.

2) Text them. Americans now text to the tune of two times the number of calls made each day!

A typical phone call...

What are your Standards of Integrity?

LAD 28 Minute ACTION

If you do not know how to identify your standards, we have an exercise you can do. Ask and I'll email you the details. Takes you about 30-45 minutes to complete.

Your Action today is to have the courage to sell someone the truth.

It could be a buyer that is not realistic. Or a seller.

It could be yourself.

What truth will you tell today, with compassion, that changes everything?

True Story of the Day:

I had a Seller that was overpriced. It was a tough place to price and the seller listed it by mail before I could get inside to see it. (uncooperative tenants). Once I had the listing I went out and saw the condition, which the seller had estimated a 7 on a scale of 10 and it was maybe a 1 or 2. I told him it was overpriced...
