Several new Real Estate agents have talked with me recently about their frustration with the way every deal seems to be a bad one or filled with challenges. On this episode, I talk about this difficult season of a Real Estate career and have some words of encouragement for you. Whether you are a new agent or a more experienced agent who is feeling stuck, this episode is for you.
For every question you get as a new Real Estate agent, you have to go get the answer. Yes, this is challenging. But it is also a learning opportunity, and I want to challenge you to change the way you think about this season in your business. Listen to this short podcast to get a new perspective that will help you deal with your frustration and push through it.
For new Real Estate agents, there is a season when your efforts outweigh your results. It is easy to get frustrated and wonder if you will survive this. But there is hope! On this episode, I explain the stages that we go through in this business and remind you that you will get through this. I hope you’ll listen and be encouraged.
In our modern American culture, we want instant results. But I was reminded this weekend of the principle that, between planting and harvest, there is time that cannot be rushed. In today’s episode, I apply this principle to our Real Estate careers and encourage you to embrace the growth that comes in the time before the harvest. Listen in and be encouraged that the best is yet to come.
When new Real Estate agents are starting out, there is a tendency to start counting your commissions whenever you follow up a new lead. Those unrealistic expectations can result in disappointment and discouragement. In today’s podcast, I’ll talk about realistic expectations, including the percentage of leads that will likely convert into a closing. You can overcome discouragement by appropriately adjusting your expectations!

What if your marketing plan actually works? Will you have what it takes to respond to the leads? How will you deal with the objections and obstacles that might come up? If these are questions that go through your mind, you are not dealing with the fear of failure, but with the fear of success! In this episode I’ll define the fear of success, talk about how it can stop you in your tracks, and tell you what you can do to overcome it so that you truly can succeed!
If we think we’re fighting the fear of failure, we’re fighting the wrong thing! We need to understand the fear of success and realize that this is what we need to fight. In this episode, I’ll share some examples that will help you understand the fear of success, and I’ll explain why thinking like a child can be one of your best tools for overcoming it! Listen to this episode and join me in defeating the fear of success!
One of the reasons that we fear success is that when our ads work and all those leads come in, we’re not sure we’ll be ready to handle them. We might not know the answers to potential clients questions or objections and we’re not comfortable with that. The good news is this: There is power in not having the answers. Listen to this episode to find out what I mean by that and how you can harness the power of not having answers to actually build your relationship with your clients.
When I was a new Realtor, I absolutely hated scripts. But as much as I hated them, they really made a difference in my career. In this episode I’ll talk about how my thinking about scripts has changed, how scripts can be used for the client’s benefit, and how they can be a valuable tool for overcoming the fear of success. Listen in and then go to the Onion Juice Facebook group and let me know what you think! I’d love to hear from you.

At a baseball game recently, with a group of about 25 people, my wife made some observations about how I didn’t “work the crowd” but people just seemed to gravitate to me, and why. It got me thinking that I wanted to teach people how to attract people, and what it takes to be seen as an authority in your Real Estate market. So, in this episode, I’ll tell you more about my wife’s observations about how I attract people, and then I’ll give you eight practical tips for gaining authority in your market.
Having authority in your market means that when people in your area think of Real Estate, they think of you. You become a household name, and people are drawn to work with you. But how do you make this happen? In this episode, I will talk about ways you can relate to people and work with them that will attract them to you and make them feel comfortable. That is the first step toward becoming an authority. Listen in and begin to establish yourself as an authority in your market!
As “media companies that happen to sell Real Estate,” we want to focus on attracting business instead of chasing it. But for a new agent, chasing is necessary to get started. In this episode, I’ll talk about the chase and how it helps you get moving, and I’ll tell you how to then move on from the chase and begin attracting business instead. Listen in and find out how to move from just getting started to becoming an authority in your market.
If you relate to your clients as a servant, not a salesman, you will likely get not only their business but also their referrals. A lot of coaches out there would think this is ridiculous and will and push you to be a salesman and get the conversion. In this episode, I’ll explain why being a servant instead of a salesman will be more effective in establishing yourself as an authority in your Real Estate market. And that is just one of the eight tips we’ll talk about. Listen in and begin moving toward becoming an authority in your market!
“Different is better than better.” I don’t know where I got this quote, but I love it. If you want to become an authority in your Real Estate market, you need to stand out. Be different. Do something that makes people think of you first. In this episode, I’ll tell you how I did this in my market, and will also point you to some others who are doing it well. Listen to this podcast and then get started thinking about what you can do to be different instead of just better!

Today I’m talking about Chris Smith’s book, The Conversion Code. I’m not normally excited about books that talk about scripts. I don’t like chasing business, and I want to get everyone to an attraction model. However, my goal on this show is to help new agents succeed. And in the beginning, you need to chase and you need to get good at handling objections. Then you can start attracting business instead of chasing it. I am a raving fan of Chris Smith, and his book is a valuable resource when you are starting out.
What do you say when your potential new client picks up the phone and says “hello?” In his book The Conversion Code, Chris Smith provides scripts for these conversations. In this episode, I’ll talk about how having simple, unique data points at the beginning of your call can help you establish trust with a potential client, and I’ll share an example of how it recently worked on me. Listen in to find out how to make it easy for a new lead to want to respond to you.
In his book, The Conversion Code, Chris Smith talks about digging deep with a client by asking good questions. In this episode, I’ll tell you a little more about how he suggests that you go about it, give some examples of good questions, and talk about how questions help you to know how to best serve your customer. Listen to today’s podcast to hear about asking good questions, and then be sure to pick up my free list of questions for a listing presentation by texting “listing” to 44222.
What are the main things you need to keep in mind in your marketing, scheduling, and closings? In The Conversion Code, Chris Smith details a “creed” for each of these aspects of your business. I’ll give you a quick read of these creeds on today’s podcast. These bullet points are a great way to keep yourself focused and remember what is important at each step along the way.
How do humans communicate? Do you know what percentages of communication come through words, tone of voice, and body language? How will understanding these help you to be more effective on the telephone? In today’s podcast, I’ll talk about what Chris Smith has to say about communication in his book, The Conversion Code. Listen to today’s podcast to find out the many ways this book is worth your while as you are starting out as a Real Estate agent.
