2015 Business Plan

 

Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential….Winston Churchill

 In order to achieve your 2015 business goals you have to accept the following three concepts;

1.      You must focus on your unique talent

2.      You must delegate everything else

3.      You must stop wasting leads

 Let’s take a quick look at each of these concepts;

1.      You must focus on your unique talent. The difference between the average agent and the consistent top producer is focus; top producers focus on income producing tasks and push all other activities to support staff. Top producers all have developed the discipline to slow down each day to focus on their unique talent and as a result have a consistent or growing income. Examples are Steve Jobs, Lyndsey Vonn and Itzhak Perlman. Each of these unique individuals developed the ability to focus, thus creating incredible results.

2.      You must delegate everything else. Top producers don’t get bogged down by getting ready to get ready. They are constantly moving forward and assigning activities to their support team which may otherwise cause them to lose focus. You must learn to love systems and checklists as they are the key to delegation. Top producers spend less than five hours per week on assistant level work and as a result have more time and energy to focus on income producing activities.

3.      You must stop wasting leads. Your most profitable business is repeat and referral business from your core database of past/current clients, SOI and vendors. Agents who lose focus on these three sources ultimately lose business to competitors and have wasted a huge opportunity. Top producers realize that once a relationship is established proper care and feeding is a must, if done properly each relationship will yield years of return on investment. After five years agents should be seeing 40-60 percent of their business coming from these three sources.

 

Looking for an environment where individuals are encouraged to embrace these concepts; one in which systems already exist?
