I Learned The Secrets Of A High-Powered
Real Estate Sales Agent
by Chris Archer
When I was a licensed Real Estate Sales Agent in the state of Florida,
I could never understand why there were agents at my office that consistently
produced five, ten, even twenty times more listings than other agents, who
were participating in the same sales meetings, receiving mentorship from
the same broker, and had met the same licensing requirements. It always
struck me as unfair, that I personally was investing in excess of 60 hours
per week to barely make it, financially, in the Real Estate Industry, while
colleagues were literally carving out a name for themselves as "super
agents."
Have you ever wondered why one Real Estate Sales Agent has 50 or more listings
at any given time, and you find yourself struggling to obtain listings in
the single digits? Have you encountered a "super-sales pro," and
thought he or she is really not that much different from you? Well, truth
is, there is a major difference between the ultra successful Real Estate
Sales Agent and you - and that difference is they know the secrets of being
a "high-powered" sales professional.
I want to share the secrets I learned from a personal mentor, who did so
well in this industry, he was able to retire and strictly do deals for friends,
after only 5 short years. Imagine going from struggling to make a living,
to having all of your financial and professional dreams come true. Think
about going to work everyday, and not living with the dread of another day's
work, and instead, be pumped up because you know you are about to have another
profitable day. Let me take a moment and share with you, the secrets of
being a "high-powered" sales professional in Real Estate.
First of all, you are going to allocate a certain number of hours per week
to your Real Estate career. This requires sitting down with your calendar,
and literally scheduling items such as family time, personal appointments,
administrative time, prospecting time, client follow-up time, meal times,
etc. After you've completed this task, you will come up with a pre-determined
number of hours you can dedicate to your work. For our purposes in this
article, let's say you have a family, and you've determined you have 30
hours per week to devote exclusively to your Real Estate business. If you're
trying to make ends meet, you may be looking at 30 hours and be thinking
- "there is no way." There is a way, and it's really about changing
the way you're looking at the premise of work. Now, let's change our focus
from working harder, to working smarter.

Using the Dashboard to Gauge Your
Performance
A lesser-known function in RealAgent
Accelerator is the Dashboard. The Dashboard is accessible from the
Tools menu and provides a quick overview of your clients, tasks, listings,
and commissions. It displays history for the past three months in
chart form, allowing you to easily see if you're on pace, or if your
income is lagging this month.

Filtering to Find Clients Quickly
You can quickly find any client by typing
a name into the filter row of any tabbed listing and pressing the
Enter key. You can even use the asterisk (*) to peform partial matches.
For example to find all clients with a last name starting with 'Smith',
type Smith* into the last name column of the filter row.

Press Enter. The list will be filtered
to display only those records where the last name starts with 'Smith',
such as Smith, Smithson, or Smithers:

Calling All Agents!
We're always looking for feedback - the only way we can continue to
offer you great features that you'll use is if you tell us what you
want! Keep your suggestions coming - tell us what's missing in RealAgent
Accelerator - there's a high likelihood that it will be considered for
inclusion in a future release!

More great features are in store for our
next update, version 1.0.57. One of the best is the ability to create
multiple listings per client, which was something that was lacking
in RealAgent Accelerator until now. Another welcome addition is the ability
to create Standard Fees - common deductions such as brokerage fees,
deal fees, etc. that you have to pay out for every client. Rather than
creating expense entries each time for each deal (which you currently
would have to do), the "standard fees" features will make this
much easier. We've got much more in store for our next release - contact
us today to find out more or to suggest a feature!
