With all the “New Year New Me” hoopla, you likely have made several resolutions towards your real estate career. Unlike diets, New Year career resolutions cannot be bought or sold through diet books or personal trainer packages. That’s why the Zurple team mapped out a few points to help you achieve success in 2018. Ensure you start 2018 off on the right foot by following the four guidelines for success in 2018.
-
Have a Mentor
Role models aren’t just for children. Having a mentor is important for us psychologically and helps guide us through our lives and careers. Observe why this other agent has achieved all they have. What efforts got them to where they are today? Observe their marketing efforts, networking tactics, and personality. Your mentor doesn’t necessarily have to be someone you know, however having the ability to speak with them one on one is preferred.
-
Accept Feedback with Open Arms
Nobody fully enjoys constructive criticism. However, feedback is important to self-development. If your broker, CEO, or office manager doesn’t provide feedback on a monthly or quarterly basis, ask for a regular review session.
-
Evaluate Past Efforts
A significant portion of your January should be spend evaluating 2017. Calculate how many leads you generated and how many sales your closed in 2018. If you still need to calculate a lead goal for 2018, download Zurple’s 2018 Lead Generation Guide. The Guidebook includes a Lead Mix calculator, so you can determine how many real estate leads you’ll need to capture in 2018 to meet your income goals.
