In episode 10, I'm diving deep into the art of asking for business.
 
Do not assume just because you tell people you are a realtor this means they automatically know that you can help them
I explore WHY we avoid asking for the business & I’ll walk you through some practical steps on HOW to ask for the business
I find Realtors become reluctant for 3 reasons:
‘
Fear of Rejection: It's a hurdle we all face. The fear of rejection can be crippling, preventing us from seizing opportunities. But imagine for a moment if fear didn't exist in your entrepreneurial journey. What could you achieve? To conquer this fear, reject it instead of letting it consume you. Remember, God provides us with confidence and strength. Rejections are a part of our journey, but they don't define your worth. Instead, focus on the countless 'YES' moments you've had.
 
Not Wanting to Appear Salesy: As realtors, we often worry about coming across as too 'salesy.' To avoid this, prioritize care, value, and contribution in your interactions. Build trust, listen actively, and address concerns. Always remain client-centered, focusing on their needs and goals.
 
Lack of Confidence: Confidence is key, and a lack of it can hold us back. Overcoming this roadblock involves embracing affirmations, celebrating your achievements, and practicing visualization. Remember, it's an ongoing journey.
 
As we venture into the HOW, I must clarify that I'm not offering scripts, but rather suggestions. Your unique personality and personal touch make these approaches relatable. The 'Direct Approach' may work for some, but many find it off-putting. Instead, consider the 'Storytelling Approach,' where you share your journey and make a genuine connection. We are more than just Realtors; we change people's lives
 
The bottom line is this: Don't be afraid to ask for the business. If you don't, someone else will.
 
Thanks for tuning in. 
 
Remember, you are worthy of a purposeful, joyful, and abundant life.
