One of the many lessons that 2020 taught us all is the power of community and just how much we may have taken it for granted in previous years. It has left many of us hungering for its return, and wondering how to achieve it now, and just what that might look like. Matt and Garrett have been watching this evolve and have witnessed some agents who are embracing the changes and are coming up with very creative ways to manage them, and they share some examples with you here today. They begin by stressing the need for a mindset that is open to change, especially the changes in community these days, and they explore the notion of joining, leading, or creating your own community at this critical time in history. They look at some examples of agent and broker communities that they are seeing, the current hunger for community, creating one for those with whom you have done business, and the reasons why ‘Clubhouse’ is so popular these days. As they point out, the ‘good old days’ version of community is not going to be returning. Now is the time to acknowledge that and get on board with the future of community and the many benefits that can come your way once you embrace it.   Episode Highlights:   Starting with the mindset to be open to change   A new look for community   Joining or leading a community   Turning your audience into a community   The importance of having and fulfilling core values   Agent and brokerage communities   Agents finding other agents and creating communities   What kind of community do you want to join or lead?   Creating a community for those who have done business with you   The current and future hunger for community   Why ‘Clubhouse’ is doing so well these days   Quotes: “We’re watching some people right now that are embracing this change, they are embracing this new world.” “Community is going to be changed forever in how we thought community looked.” “This is a platform I want to be involved with, these are people that I want to be involved with.” “There is a place for everyone.” “By the way, my marriage is great.” “The model is kind of going through some very big changes right now.” “Here’s a space that you can create to build out a real community where there is dialogue happening.” “All of a sudden, you get these engagements happening.” “Now’s the time!” “People are starving for community right now.” “Don’t just sit and wait for the ‘good old days’ to come back.” “Do it with a lot of passion and intent, and it’s going to work out pretty well.” “I want to go over there.”   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli
