More Leverage = Less Burnout
I recently was on the /realtors forum on reddit, an agent who was so burnt out so I wanted to share my exact message here as well just in case it helps anyone a light bulb moment.
"In my opinion I think their always is a solution to a problem and in business it's usually leverage, you need to find ways to get clients without competing with every agent on the market that does the same thing. This doesn't mean more social media likes, it means be different, and offer things in a new way people haven't seen before.
Humans are pretty simple creatures, we weigh the perceived cost vs the benefit of any opportunity. Notice how I said perceived, because to a $800k house, $2k is .25% in their mind. Yet that'd do anything not to have to move boxes, furniture or drive across the state. In which knowingly or unknowingly to them, costs that .25% to solve.
This is one example but solve that for them (List with me and I'll pay $2k towards your move) and you should crush. As long as the math makes sense and your state laws allow you to do this! If not, their is always other ways.
For example, I'm doing a live lunch and learn training where I give $20 Uber Eats cards to realtors who show up and engage. Done right, a $20 investment can turn into a $5k client who would have otherwise never learned about the value I bring in the first place."
